It's not a military-grade weapon until it's armed. Until that point, it's just a jet aircraft. His main problem would be getting certification/type approval to fly the damn thing. Quite frankly, good luck to him. james ps contrary to some of the view that have been flying around here, the Harrier AV8-B which was offered is currently produced by McD-D under licence from British Aerospace.
In a few years' time, laptop design will have revolutionised... thin screen.. li ion battery... blue tooth; we'll wonder what we were doing back in the 20th century.
And it'll all run Linux:-)

Actually, there have been several cybercash schemes around the UK for a while now - Mondex in Swindon which seems to be humming along nicely and Visa Cash in Leeds (my home town), which seems to be gaining in popularity quite rapidly... you should see parking meters as the 'foot in the door' for the technology which can then move up the food chain, as the Leeds project has done.
I wouldn't read it like that; if the companies involved merely proposed a standard that was open and that they stuck to, then there would be no cartel; the fact that MS would implement an import filter is irrelevant - the point is that there would be a standard through which other office apps stood half a chance.
Aha, someone else who has discovered VNC! A top tool.
Aren't MS implementing a 'broken' version of LDAP in W2K? You aouldn't expect anything else really, could you? It would be too much to ask for them to just follow a standard...
Yep, I agree with all of that - 90% of the time, with the correct hardware, Windows will install and be happy first time. However, that remaining 10% (which I always seem quite able to find;-) ) can be an absolute bugger to get going properly, I don't care which version of Windows you're using - 95, 98, NT and probably 2K for all I know.
What really frightens me, as a sysadmin, is how incredibly unstable NT4 is without at least SP3. Makes me wonder if 2K will follow the same route. I can't imagine any experienced, sane, rational person wanting to install W2K out of the box on release day.
I got my NT version - have yet to receive the Linux version, although a message from Oracle in the Technet discussion group promises that it is ready to ship....
This is something of a problem not far away from where I live - in Cornwall, England, Radon poisoning is very commonplace, because many of the houses there have stone basements.
HTTP 1.1 requires the browser to transmit the domain name it has requested information from in the GET header detail. Therefore, with every connection from a browser the browser is actually telling the webserver what domain it should be serving. This is distinct from HTTP 1.0 which did not have this requirement.
I believe that Apache has had the capability to use this principle for some time.
If you just type in the IP address, then that is what your browser will report to the webserver which can then act accordingly.

Nahh... If NT had not existed, that m/c would still be there but running a different OS. Therefore, NT had only an indirect effect.

Netscape is not supposed to work in here. Niether is IE 3.0 or earlier. We are sorry for any problems this might have caused.
Yeah right.

Wasn't IPv5 a strictly experimental streaming protocol?
I seem to remember reading an article about it in the dim & distant past.
