    Windows .NET (if they ever release that) will ship with a C# compiler (csc.exe).

    MSDN Downloads went to Passport authentication on 1 July 2001. That's about when Passport keeled over.

    Coincidence?

  4. Re:Question about the keys on Deciphering Windows Product Activation · · Score: 1

    With normal ten-digit product keys, the software just does a check to ensure it's a valid key. One simple one that works on anything is distributed to about half the planet with MSDN. I don't think I'm giving away a big secret that it's 335-3353356. Pre-WPA, 25-digit product keys were serialized per product, so any Office 2000 Premium Upgrade RTM key worked on any copy, but if you had Office 2000 Premium Upgrade SR-1, you needed a different key. 25-digit keys have been used by Office 2000, Windows 98 and 2000 and not much else. I think that the point is that Microsoft could come in and see that every one of your thousand installs of Office had the same product key put in so you had to be cheating on the licence (unless you had MOLP or Select).

  5. How to help SJ Games on SJGames Layoffs · · Score: 1

    PayPal? Nah, just go to the Warehouse 23 SJ Games page and spend a few hundred dollars on some good stuff. The Pyramid (SJG's on-line magazine) discussion boards have been running a contest on who will spend the most on Warehouse 23. My $504 is leading at the moment, so /. might want to try beating that.
