"The system would also observe whether the computer user was typing, talking on the phone or speaking with someone face to face in the office. Helping keep tabs of the user would be a small camera that could determine whether the person was present and looking at the computer screen."
Sounds like that could easily link into SMS (or similar) to keep track of what all employees are doing - that's probably not their plan, but i'm sure some companies would want it, and where there's a market...
There's only one thing marketing people should be exposed to. Dangerous levels of radiation.

...then it probably wants NT Challenge/Response security, and won't accept plain text. I've got a similar situation here - an MS Poxy Server that expects authentication, but various bits of client software that don't provide the authentication, or give it in the wrong format.
What i've done here is to set up an NT Server running Poxy, that routes upstream through the existing Poxy. It authenticates with that Poxy, but doesn't require authentication itself.
The result is, client app connects to 127.0.0.1:80 as a poxy, then my MS Poxy connects to the company's MS Poxy, using the authentication it's configured with. That connects out to the internet.
Of course, if you've got any influence over the main MS Poxy server, you can just turn off the authentication.
It was merely idle curiosity. Interesting press release, though - 1.39tb from a single server is pretty impressive. I'd assumed that was through a little 'server farm' or cluster.
10,000 simultaneous downloads? I wonder how many IIS handles before it leaks all it's memory away and falls over...
Nice article there, Howard - i really must have a play with FreeBSD sometime.
BTW, do you happen to know when the record at ftp.cdrom.com was set? Presumably it coincided with some new software release - i'm just wondering what could prompt 1.3tb of downloads in a single day.
The European ministers of Foreign Affairs are expected to decide monday to lift all barriers to the export of encryption software to countries outside the European Union.
Politicians seem to live in some strange fate-ruled world - every time they have a meeting, the result of the meeting is reported a week before it happens, and every report produced is reported on a disected before it's published.
That must make for some serious philosophical issues.

5 Atoms? We won't see them on the shelve's at all - unless your eyesight's a lot better than mine...
Maybe politicians just feel comfortable with the innocent looking devil logo?
If you look at the Seti stats by platform, you'll find this line...
alpha-compaq-T64Uv4.0d/EV67 87171 9.95 years 1 hr 00 min 00.4 sec
Looks like the fastest Seti processor out there. I think i'm right in saying that this is at Compaq's research centres.

Yep. And it'll get stuck in an infinite loop.

Try over here in the UK - we're paying over 80p/litre here.
The best maths i can do at this time puts that at around $4.80.
Kind of proves his point, though.
Bit of a self fulfilling thing going on.
That's the one. Same haircut as the LEGO people, and carried a more intelligent computer round it's neck like an oversized medallion.

They'd have to tattoo the breasts too.
In related news, Penthouse today announced a world record number of job applications for the new post of tattoo artist.
Quick question - not intended to be flamebait - don't start a holy war!
Is FreeBSD reasonably easy to install and try out in the same way that Linux is?

Indeed. That's why the TechNet article on removing Linux and installing NT advises you to use the Linux version of FDISK.
There's a beautiful irony there.
I'll wait for the official Microsoft MCLU certification.
Microsoft Certified Linux Uninstaller.
It's only two exams:
745: FDISK in the Enterprise
823: Windows 2000 Good, Linux Bad.
There's a couple of these in the UK.
Try Care4Free or Waitrose.
Waitrose gives you a choice of a few charities, i think, but i don't know how Care4Free works.
No idea how Linux friendly either of these are, either, i'm afraid.
Quick! The second horse has gone!
Close and lock the barn doors, and shoot all the other horses!
...is if that's the size of the bow tie, how big is the dinner jacket to go with it?
Even just the cummerbund would be the size of Jupiter!
So the future of the web is difficult to read, ignores standards, has no clear navigation and is generally irritating and pointless?
I'm just worried that he's probably right.
How about a Mobile Arm? Then it could get the coke from the fridge too.
I just posted a message entitled "Barbie".
Where's my lawsuit?
