I worked at HP a number of years ago, when they valued employees and took a much longer view of technology investments. As soon as the company became Carly Corp, the writing was on the wall for it as a technology leader and a unique place to work. Bill and Dave's Hewlett-Packard is gone, and all that is left is yet another grist mill that just sticks their label on other company's products.
Where exactly is the added value in the HP iPod??? Not to mention the Gwen Stefani digital camera.
What's not to like? Interesting and funny dialog, likable characters, a bevy of babes (Inara, come to Beavis:), better than average acting, and sh*t getting blown up.
And now they do understand buffer overruns and network security, which is the very reason Microsoft decided to put the HTTPD listener in the kernel on Win2k3.
Still, I suppose that if you're going to have a buffer exploit, you may as well do it in a spectacular fashion.
If you're using a firewall, check that you're not exceeding the maximum number of concurrent of UDP sessions. My firewall has a maximum session limit of 2000 sessions which I frequently hit when playing bf1942/bf2. The symptoms look exactly like network lag.
Awesome game though...
IIRC, the version on Live After Death (live performance recorded at Long Beach, CA) was preceded by part of Churchill's speech. I'd have to dig out a/really/ old audio cassette to be positive though:)
Without being too pedantic...
A multi-user system is one that allows CPU time slicing between users. I.e. the ability for more than one interactive user to execute instructions locally.

Multiple Users: Linux is a multi-user system, Windows is not. That is, Windows is designed to be used by one person at a time. Databases running under Windows allow concurrent access by multiple users, but the Operating System itself is designed to deal with a single human being at a time. Linux, like all Unix variants, is designed to handle multiple concurrent users. Windows, of course, can run many programs concurrently, as can Linux. There is a multi-user version of Windows called Terminal Server but this is not the Windows pre-installed on personal computers.
The last part is only mostly true, since Win2K and later all ship with Terminal Server or RDP for admin access. You can also add Cygwin or MKS and build SSH which will allow multiple simultaneous logins. Windows then starts to look more like a multi-user system.
I'm pretty sure that no version of Windows 3.x would permit more than one user to be logged on to the system at any given time. Sure you can share file and printer resources, but it would be a pretty sizable leap to call that a multi-user system.

Glad I got out when I did!

It doesn't get much better than that!

Smashing head on desk in amazement.

Pah! Real men don't click!
