I used to have my NT desktop at work up for over a week without crashing. I believed that it was the Seti@Home client that prevented the machine from crashing by reducing System Idle Processes to 0%, 'cause we all know that the SIP is the biggest cause of crashes:)
Anyway, now I have to reboot after 2 days because they changed my machine from static IP to DHCP and when I lose the license I can't just logoff/on again because the n/work client crashes and I have to reboot.
The funny part is that this probably really will happen. As with videotape and the web, the sex industry will use cutting-edge technology in this area to gain customers.
There was a story in Wired over a year ago about this company that makes what amounts to be life-like women as sex toys. Instead of a blow-up skin, they were basically a titanium skeleton covered in latex, with special 'implants'. But you could custom build your 'woman' for something like US$2000. Delivered to you in a 'cocoon'.
All you would need with those is a motion controller thing like that Sony Dog, and there's your sex-bot.
I thought it had a lot to do with the Sony vs Universal court case. Universal were suing because they thought that the vcr would kill the movie industry. They probably didn't care much about JVC because VHS was such a crap format.
Just like someone has with the test_user account...
"Incorrect ID / Password Combination"
As an aside, Why does it say "Incorrect ID" on the page, but "Invalid ID" in the title? For a publication company, it's a bit substandard. I'm in documentation so I'm a pedantic sod.:)
Ah, but it is an undetermined Urban Legend. The ULRP has a whole bunch of info about this, including a bit about the CD not being bigger than 12cm because it would lose portability (wouldn't fit into a suit pocket).
Now if I can only get my Discman to fit into my pocket...
Well if we want to be able to convert to their protocol, we'd probably want to have domains that mean something everywhere, e.g.: slashdot.org.earth.sol.milkyway, or even slashdot.org.III.sol.milkyway...

I've seen this comment a few times now in this discussion - how do I remap my keyboard?
:)
Win NT:
Open Control Panel
Open Keyboard Settings
Click on the Input Locales
Select your location
Click Properties
Choose US-Dvorak from the List
Win9x should be similar
Simple, innit?

Exactly! No company should demand rights to a domain that is based on an 'everyday' word. If you name your product that, it's your downfall.
Of course, you can be too successful and lose your branding, e.g. Aspirin, Sellotape, etc.
It's called Coconut by Harry Nilsson, available on the Reservior Dogs soundtrack.

I'd trust a beta release from Iris a hell of a lot more than a commercial release from Microsoft.

Which would get hacked first - IIS on NT or Domino on Linux?
"My best guess would be that microsoft.com is consisdered mission critical and is redundant in many different ways."
If ms.com was mission critical, it would be running on an IBM AS/400, just like their other mission critical systems, e.g. Billing.
