I've used the same technique before to restore an XP system that no one knew the admin password to. Changed the default screensaver.scr to cmd.exe. Just booted to login, made a coffee, when I got back, cmd was open in System user.
Funnily, I think the user rights for System in XP were limited below Administrator.
Game Actors' Industry Assosication of America, otherwise known as GAIAA. After they lobby for exorbitant royalties to be paid to game cinematic actors or voice actors, games start marketing campaigns based on how good-looking (or sounding) their actors are, and they start sueing 15-year olds for copying games. Later, Joe Kucan develops a celebrity syndrome where he joins Scientology and drives a Prius.
But on a more serious note, I wonder how much Joe Kucan made from Westwood/EA. He's the most memorable cinematic actor imho.
I've just tried modulo on the formula result, and it appears that Excel 2007 just goes STARK RAVING MAD.
Assuming A1 is =850*77.1
MOD(A1,65534) returns 1 (A1 is 65535)
MOD(A1,65535) returns -7.27595761418343 * 10 ^ -12
In fact, where the divisor is from 1 to 65535, where the modulo would normally return 0, it returns this tiny decimal value.
MOD(A1,65536) returns 100000. ??
Where the divisor is 65536 or greater, the modulo goes mad and just returns 100000.
Even MOD(A1,100000) returns 100000, when that should be impossible with a divisor of 100000.
Conclusion: Microsoft accounted their Vista adoption rate using Excel 2007.
Automating and using just passwords and user accounts to control the access of IT staff is largely insufficient. A *REALLY* disgruntled IT admin could easily plug in another network card to the server before he tenders his resignation, in addition to a thousand other backdoor possibilities. If the organisation's policies call on IT admins to check on one another, it may result in an atmosphere of fear in the IT department, further hampering progress and productivity.
The only feasible solution is purely human. By fostering good rapport and relationships with not only their IT staff, but all their staff, managers and executives can build the network of trust that is so essential for continued good functioning of a company.
