that comes bundled with Win2K. Configure the service to start automatically (it's set for manual start by default), and use net time/setsntp to set the NTP server(s) you want to sync to.
You can select one machine to be the master server for your network -- set its NTP server to one on this list, and enable it as an NTP server (some registry setting I can't remember). Then set the other machines (via the net time/setsntp cmd) to use your time server.
My dad used to collect pinballs from the 50s & 60s -- I don't remember seeing a machine with Nixie tubes, but Wico, a Chicago-based supplier of parts for arcade machines, used to carry them in their catalogs, so someone must have been using them.
You could do it with Windows Terminal Services; I did something similar with the Cygnion CyberGenie phone system.
First, install Terminal Server on the 2K box. Then create a user that will run the audio manager software, and install the software under that user. Put a shortcut to the audio manager.exe in the user's startup group.
Then login to that user using Terminal Services; that'll start up the audio manager. As soon as the software is running, close the Terminal Services window -- the user will still be logged in, and the audio manager will continue to run as long as the machine is up.
They don't block any ports at present; back when they were Telocity, they were cool about servers, as long as you didn't use too much bandwidth.
However, their support & services (mail, nntp) suck big time; they outsourced mail to CriticalPath about a year ago, and it seems to be down more often than it's up. NNTP is so severly throttled that it's slower than dialup, and their server seems to have some issues with propagation and retention.
Anonymous Cowards here aren't, because their IP addresses are still subject to subpoena, and there's a 2 week long window where Slashdot stores the IP address as an MD5 hash, which can be easily defeated.
How can MD5 be "easily defeated"? I was under the impression that MD5 is a one-way algorithm, so that the original IP address couldn't be recovered from the logs.
Well I've got a theory that we're all living inside a giant cosmic nostril. I could get someone to print that in a journal without getting decent peer review, get publicity and call it 'science' but I doubt it's very helpful.
If you're running IIS5's SMTP server, you can use CDO for Win2K from JScript or VBScript to send messages. CDO is a set of COM objects that wrap around MIME-compliant messages, so you can build or parse email messages.
If you don't have IIS SMTP, there are a number of SMTP client COM objects around; you can then write a JScript/VBScript/VB/C++ app that drives the COM object.
You also might want to look into something called blat -- it's another SMTP client implementation (not COM-based, IIRC).
My dad, after about 15 years of more-or-less acceptable service from GTE/Verizon, switched his phone service to AT&T fixed wireless a few months back, and also tried their digital broadband service, since the wireless phone service cut about a third off his dialup speed (21 kbps down to 14 -- surprised he even noticed).
The phone side worked acceptably, but the data side was a total disaster; turns out his signal strength was about 20% of what it should have been. Why AT&T didn't check this out before installing the service, I have no idea -- it must have cost them big bucks for the 3 or 4 truck rolls it took (not to mention the tech support calls) to figure out why his data performance was so crappy.
If my dad's story is typical of other subscribers, it's no wonder AT&T's getting out; there's no way anyone could make money offering service to people who shouldn't have been qualified to receive it in the first place; the support costs will eat you alive.
There was an article in the LA Weekly 10-15 years ago describing how Thomas Bros. make their maps -- the deliberate inacurracies, sometimes called "copyright bugs", were mentioned.
IIRC, at one time, they offered some kind of prize to anyone who reported some magic number of such bugs.
Close; the disease you're referring to is cowpox -- it's called that because one gets it from close contact with cows. Milkmaids, naturally, spend a lot of time with cows, hence they get cowpox, and develop resistance or immunity to smallpox. Edward Jenner noticed that correlation, extracted some fluid from cowpox blisters, and used it to make his vaccine. See this link for more info.
BTW, the word vaccine comes from vacca, the Latin word for cow.
Things must have changed since I went through this about 10 years ago in southern California.
I was working for a startup that owed me several months' back pay (they'd pay out 1 of every 4 pay periods -- just enough to keep everyone around and hopeful), and I contacted the state labor commission to find out my options.
The commisioner basically said I was SOL -- if the company couldn't make payroll, the state couldn't do much about it, other than force them into bankruptcy, where employees are near the bottom of the list of those to be paid off.
True, but it's unlikely said employee will see a dime.
I was in a similar situation in California about 10 years ago, and I looked into making a claim with the state labor commission. As it turns out, under CA law (and that of most US states), employees are near the bottom of the list of those to be paid off in a bankruptcy reorg or liquidation.

Well, according to the current News of the Weird, you can obtain decent results by merely thinking about exercise.

Galileo was jailed by the Roman Catholic Church for supporting Copernicanism, which was considered a heresy by the Inquisition.
Why would the RCC care about what Galileo put on his bread?

Absolute zero is -273.16C, so -255C is indeed possible.
Actually, they did try to decimalize time (sort of); check out Cecil's account.

It's being done -- the Freeplay folks are working on a cellphone battery charger.
IIRC, at least one early Unix used a variant of Enigma to encrypt /etc/passwd.
I don't know about FTP, but you can't install the IIS SMTP server on 2K Pro; this restriction no longer exists on XP.
I'm running 2K Advanced Server on a P166 with 80 MB RAM; it's not terribly fast, but it works.
