That's an interesting point. If someone asks for a correction under the DPA (eg listed as having wrong number of legs) finding all the incorrect copies could be a total nightmare.
What seems very suss is that the XP built in firewall doesn't monitor outgoing connections (which is one of the things which makes it crap). Presumably if you install something like the Tiny Software Personal Firewall it would tell you about the outgoing connections from XP.

There are, however, in existence a large number of piano rolls from the late 19th/early 20th century recorded directly by famous pianists or composers of the time. Debussy did quite a few.
These work rather differently from a digital system. For a start, there's no quantisation so minute variations in time are picked up by the system. It also does a pretty good job on a wide range on dynamics.
This means that you can actually hear Debussy playing some of his more famous compositions even though he's dead.
The sad thing is, so much stuff doesn't work on NT/2000/XP if you're not a local admin. How many apps out there feel the need to store their stuff in HKLM? Crap really.
A technique I've seen is to get two people to type in the first and second parts of the password (without telling each other what they are). That way you need both people to get in. As a backup measure, they both write down their password bits and these get sealed in separate envelopes in separate safes just in case. Oh, and in case a manger might need to get in you can number them 1 and 2.
Ignoring the license fee thing for a second, I think it's interesting that they're bundling iPlanet. Now that HP are giving away their app server and Sun are almost doing the same, how will IBM be able to get away with charging the earth for Websphere?
Currently, we run a lot of apps on Websphere on Solaris. Our maintenance contract means that we're going to get iPlanet for free. Why bother with Websphere?
The biggest (Fanuc) are still going strong. I suspect that a lot of their business was in the CNC controls area they had some neat stuff like moving from just G codes to the interactive/graphical FAPT programming. I've been out of the CAM business for a while now and looking at their site now, they seem to be basing their new controls on XP or CE. Could be interesting in your $10,00,000 5 axis laser cutter.
I gather that the Itanium philosophy is to transfer the complexity to the compiler. The question is, how good are the compilers now? At the moment, it looks like a real bastard of a job putting together a decent one for any Itanium series. That VLIW stuff looks like it needs to be spot on every time to get the performance (don't do 3 fp ops in a row).
When I can run my C++ through an Itanium compiler and have it come out good, then I'll believe it. Benchmarks? Right.

There are probably more than a billion MS licenses shipped due to the Windows Tax(tm). An awful lot of companies buy their licenses twice.

I've got a tape by these guys called "Head Cleaner". It's very quiet. I've got their video as well.

Yeah - $500 for each message. 500,000,000 messages. Do you think they can cover it?
