Just because IBM's presence in the services market took center stage with it's acquisition of PwC doesn't mean that IGS wasn't quite a force to be reckoned with in the 90's.
The Research Labs in Yorktown Heights, NY; Zurich; Haifa; and San Jose are still thriving albeit under a different operating model than they were in 1990 when I was an employee at the lab in NY.
Perhaps it's dreaming that it is a MAC...no mac...no wait, it's Mac. Shit, I forgot there's a huge difference because people aren't able to interpret things even though there's more than enough context for them to figure it out.
From the perspective of downloading the binaries, then you may be right: downloading a new copy of the binaries would probably give you a new license.
However, the source code may be (IMHO) treated differently since it, in and of itself, cannot be executed directly. Instead, it is used to generate the binaries which are then executed. Therefore, any and all copies of the source code should be considered one in the same and therefore subject to one granted license per entity.
In other words, if their GPL rights to the source code were revoked once it may very well be permanent.
See the other person's reply where they said that the last number on each line is the PID. You can use that to cross reference against the processes listed in Task Manager.
Also, tracert and NeoTrace can come in handy if you want to find out more information about the destination address. The latter will actually display its approximate geographical location.:)

"netstat -a -o" will display all active connections and the processes that own them.
Task Manager will show you the currently running processes. This is of limited usefulness since it doesn't show the path of the executable nor the arguments used to launch it. So SVCHOST.EXE will show up multiple times because it is used to by 2000/XP to run several different services.
"Control Panel > Administration Tools > Computer Management" will run an applet that, among other things, will allow you to see the number of open shares and connections to your computer. There are some other useful things in there.
- This is my home computer. - It is connected to a cable modem. - It is _not_ on all of the time. - "Guest" is disabled. - The other two user accounts have passwords associated with them. - I regularly run Ad-aware and Spybot. - I have either marked as Manual or Disabled services that are not needed (like IIS, Messenger, etc.) - I am using XP w/SP2 and the included software firewall (yes, I've been meaning to buy a router for hardware firewall support...any suggestions on brand?)
I think I do have some shares created for when I was (still married) and had a small network of 3 computers total. I will disable those and take some more observations. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated though.
Wow! What an amazing read! I wonder what David Chess and similar virus gurus would have to say about this stuff.
On a tangential topic: does XP (SP2) typically have 0.02% to 0.05% network utilization (as shown in Task Manager) ongoing constantly while the system is up? I've been noticing this lately and am trying to figure out why.
Nothing unusual is showing up in the Processes tab (which doesn't say much in the event that a rootkit is being used) but I didn't nothing anything unusual as far as sockets that were open (using the netstat -a command).
However, lately I've been experiencing some slowness while playing CoD:UO on a server that used to be blindingly fast for me.

Yeah, those design pattern aficionados need to be shot. [Rolls eyes]
Everyone uses design patterns regardless of whether or not they explicitly know they are doing so. People who use design patterns effectively will write more maintainable code.
If you don't understand why then maybe you should read a book on design patterns instead of Perl.:P
It isn't the language: it's the programmers using the language that make Perl programs unreadable.
That being said: there are a lot of mediocre programmers in the world who think that it is neat to use every feature of the language they are using. This leads to unreadable Perl / C / insert your favorite language programs.
However, Perl does provide much much more than a yard of rope with which a company can hang itself by employing programmers without having the necessary controls in place (e.g. design / code reviews, etc.) to ensure that maintainable code is being produced.
IMNSHO, it wouldn't be easy in the least to make money using FOSS. Sure, you can look at IBM's Global Services Division and use them as your role model, but how did they get to their position of dominance? They did so by having the money already in the bank to be able to attract the top talent to come to them so that they can strengthen their consulting capabilities.
Small-sized businesses will not find it so easily done, however. Competition from larger companies, especially due to their ability to offer services at a lower rate because of economies of scale, will either drive the smaller companies' profit margins to nothing or drive them out of business completely.
I am not against FOSS by any means, but I wouldn't be one to attempt to start a company based on the services-oriented business model.
Then again, depending on your definition of "successful," I could be all wet.
...as they just released the Ingres database management system under an open source license last year.
Too bad that Ingres sucks. This comes from one of the more prominent QA folks at CA.
I'm guessing that the release of its source code will be caught by the virus detection script language Symantec has patented. The script looks like this:

Doh. This was meant as a response to the reply of my original posting.
A little more information:

- It is connected to a cable modem.

- The other two user accounts have passwords associated with them.
- I regularly run Ad-aware and Spybot.
