They ought to concentrate on getting the things THERE first, doesn't matter where THERE is.
For the record, my trip is 25 miles each way to work... the record time to get home is leave work at 15:35, arrive home at 20:55. It would be quicker to walk.
Why don't Microsoft patent spam, trojans, viruses, malware, spyware and genomes of script kiddies. That will send shivers down the spines of the miscreants, and we will all be FREE of the crap:)
Fantasic bit of work really, but I bet as just as accurate (or inaccurate, depending if your glass is half full or half empty) as tomorrows weather forecast here on Earth, going by experience...
"Davids job was to move the graphics drivers in windows into protected mode on 286 and better processors (to free up precious memory below 640K for Windows applications). He (and Chuck) had already figured out how to get normal Windows applications to use expanded memory for their code and data, but now he was tackling a harder problem - the protected mode environment is subtler than expanded memory - if you touched memory that wasn't yours, you'd crash.>/i>"
I wonder what ever happened then? Did they ignore him?...
The boffins at Bletchley Park cracked the Enigma code partly (perhaps mostly) as the German operators of Enigma machines got lazy.
The idea was that each day a new code was dialled into the machine, so no message from one day to the next was the same - even if the same message was sent.
After a few months, they got lazy as 'nobody will crack this' attitude crept in.
It was this illogical flaw that allowed the crew at Bletchley Park to start to see regular patterns in the encoded messages that lead to the cracking of it.
So, yes, the bloke is right - sometimes (read like what we are talking here, users and computers) is/are useless, because humans can't do it!
The biggest story here is the way the European Parliament and associated croonies keep on trying to get this directive through the backdoor without no reference to the rules, law or democratic society.
Fisheries and Agriculture? The people behind this must be offering big backhanders to all involved to push this through at all costs, that's all I can say.
I saw on TV the author (Stephen Lisberger) talking about it at the time of release.
The closest I can find on the web is this:
"AM: The computer images in TRON were generated on a Visual Display Unit?
SL: Yeah, well they were generated on a CRT. What happens is that we lay in the blue prints using two different systems. On one we lay in the blue prints by byte pad and a cursor and the blue prints are traced into the computer which understands things in x, y, z space. You give it multiple tracings and it constructs the things in wire frame and on top of this you have programmes, algorithms for laying in, covering the surfaces with polygons and then you determine the point of view, and positioning, and light source, and then you can actually get the computer to show you the object or the environment from whichever angle you want to see it. The computer gives you back what its calculations represent on a high-resolution CRT, a little TV, and then you film off one frame at a time using a motion picture camera. The other system we used is exactly the same in the whole second half but up front it's different because, instead of tracing objects, you construct objects by combining sunprogrammes for geometrical shapes. It's as if you have building blocks which can be put together additively or subtractively in the computer and the shapes then become whole programmes. Then the computer goes through all the same things with the position and so on."
which shows where he got the name from (lot's of tron and troff when doing it, I bet).
This happened to Tony Arts - only worse - his domain was ripped away from him, and then whoever done it started charging for his free[ware] software!! (and he codes some good stuff - I used to use a few in my winders days)
SCO started the attack on Linux first (early 2003) when their stock was at the lowest point, and it paid off a bit - until now - and they are back where they started, except now everybody hates them:)

Ahhh... but wait for the finished GOLD version - that will use a MS Word format as the log file, so you will easy reach 10GB in an hour.
never mind the fact that it is also traveling half way around the globe.
So cable connections go through it? That would explain...

There is that cartoon somewhere on the net:
"Please enter your new password"
- {snigger} "PENIS" [OK]
"Your password is too small."
- {cowers}
I think that sums up users and passwords...
...if this book was about any other language ever invented it would be 50 pages and 10 times quicker to read with 90% less calories burnt?
Call me a cynic, but there is always an ulteria motive involved in moves like this, as seen from past donations made from the fund.

Have they comparable data on how fast an Outlook user clicks on [OK] to launch an attachment? That must be as fast as the speed of light, at least!
How else will a bit of muscle move along? It has to creep until they build little legs for it...
...Planet of the Apes still a long way off...
Say that again after looking at Steve ballmer perform.

Which has nothing to do with 'Troff' (Trace off) which was the opposite of 'Tron'.
For those that don't know, the film was named after the computer command 'Trace on' (as opposed to Troff).
Looking at the current situation, will Disney call it Pr0n?
It's not a patch is it? It's rip-off software that competitor companies issued becauseMS never fix stuff.
Why don't they just fix the damn crappy software, instead of putting buckets under the leaks??

Yep, does here on KDE 3.3.0 - but GEEZ, what a great way to free up some RAM immediately ready for a Quake2 DM game. Thanks Google!!
