It's not really important to have domain trusts - I think all that buys you is 'log into one machine and access everything' - you can still access shares as a seperate machine outside the domain as long as you supply a username / password.
Fer instance, whenever I mount an NT share on Linux I use "smbmount \\\\server\\share/mnt/server -o username=administraitor", then it asks for a pswd, and if that matches a user w/ permission your in.
Having just spent another bad week wrangling with Win9X (wish they'd at least fund 2K upgrades) and SirCam viri, while my *nix boxes just run flawlessly - All I can say is what utter rubbish, bullocks.
Oh, someone else famalier with George O. Smith, who wrote about communications satellites before Arthur C. Clark. Of course those were manned communications stations around the Sun and not in earth geosynchronous orbit, but at least he got the physics of space travel correct too, not the "take us to warp factor 5 Scotty!" fantasy stuff.
Another funny part is the AC ripple in the vacuum tube power supply making waves in the replicator output.
That likely only applies to NEW shipping software - all that old vulnerable stuff out there will need to be 'updated' at something like $85 a pop or more - can you say "80 Billion in the bank" ?
Companies are pretty much free to retain their earnings for reinvestment.
unfortunately that means: leveraging the os monopoly by coding competitors software ideas directly into the operating system, knocking them out of business, and making even more for reinvestment, repeat.
An MCSE's word isn't worth the paper it's written on, just like most everyone else. Have him submit his objections to GPL software in written form, submit a rebuttal quoting GLP terms in writing, have boss review it at leisure, or he can seek professional advice. If there's significant $$$ at stake it behooves them to purchase rationally, esp with taxpayers dollars. Plus there are reports like this finally showing up.
Hohoho Hahahahahaha I just wasted 3 hours this morning running fixsirc.com on a bunch of Windows PC's Haaaahahahahahah heeeheeheehehhehee I'm so productive hehehhehe.
If only tv ads were really informative about a product I might actually consider using their product - as it is they're 90% useless, often offensive fluff just trying to jerk your emotions. If I could NOT block all the ads for hyperactive bladder (gotta go! gotta go!), all the quack medicine and sexual dysfunction miracle cures, I wouldn't watch TV or listen to radio at all!
In fact, most of the time an ad comes on and I try to imagine the demographic clientel it's targetted for, I realize I just don't belong here!
Kinda reminds me of the days when Warner Communications ran Atari into the ground, before selling it off to competitor Jack Tramiel of Commodore, who managed to eek a small profit before they were buried by the Japanese.
The speaker, Brad Smith, is a lawyer - Msft is largely a mrkting / legal defense outfit. In depth knowledge of software sciences constitutes only 10% (at most) of their overall activity. (Recall the emBallmer's referance to a Hardware Application Layer).
Well, the US started out behind, and IS losing Edge. Was thinking how to phrase it, but the Russians appear more willing to take risks (you know, in science, EXPERIMENT and risk failure but learn something anyway?) - w/ NASA's ever shrinking budget and risk aversion due to sensitivity to public criticism it sometimes seems like they can't try out anything (like space tourism) w/o knowing before hand that it's going to be successful. The typical US attitude to almost anything these days is how the lawyers are going to react and who is liable for damages; slowly turning into paralysis thru analysis, unable to accomplish anything.
I thought it had something to do with "search for extraterresterial Intelligence" - untill it finds THAT, there are NO results, or the results are all comming in negative, "we've thoroughly sifted thru a bunch of space noise and haven't found ET yet!".
This is like giving an award out to a gold miner who has processed 1 million buckets of mud and still hasn't struck gold.
I'm sure that, sometime during the antitrust cast against Rockefeller's oil monopoly, they cried about how the quality of oil the consumer gets would decline if they were'nt in charge of every drop of it.
Yep, the old "we're doing it for the consumer's benefit" plea. How can they continue with the "Msft is a giant because of consumer choice" party line and, at the same time, do everything possible to take away consumer choice? And I don't mean consumers 'chose' dos back in 1981 and so it's gotta to be that way forever. I mean, just like in the US once a politician is democratically elected he isn't in power forever, every 2-4-6 years he has to be chosen again.
I've kicked that idea around, something along the lines of having to pass a test and get a license for a registered IP address - something like having to have an FCC license to run a transmitter to broadcast into the aether, you'd need an IP license to send packets into the Internet. Of course 'amateurs' could setup their own offline intranets and run w/o being licensed/registered but to connect to The Internet they'd need an engineer - like everyone on the radio of tv isn't a licensed broadcaster but they have to go thru one, etc, etc, etc.
But I don't know. Which is worse? Having a Federal Culture Control (you don't get a license because we just don't like you) burocracy to contend with is a cure worse than the disease if you ask me. Give me good ol' messy human freedom, with all the spam, crime, etc anyday. Just hunt down and punish the few criminals, not the entire system.
Was just enjoying a fantasy world where, everytime you run into a bug in commercial software you can get a court order and armed federal marshalls, raid the company, bust in their doors, install auditing software to track down and 'cuff the programmer responsible and demand they fix it or face $150,000 / day / bug fine.
last time I saw Msft stock hit the upper 40's it shortly climed back up into the 60's. Might be getting to a prime purchase price soon. If they hit lower 40's, the legal stuff gets put behind them and something interesting starts to emerge from.NET it would all be good signs.
Well, they took Tibet and have never got any significant heat over it. Hong Kong was peacefully surrendered in '97 per the contract w/ the UK. They've been making big strides in development (recent space program success fer instance) - a thriving capitalist hotspot like Taiwan would make a great 'merger' for the mainland, whether friendly or hostile.

Wow, first they steal the US shuttle design, and now they're trying to sell it back! Those guys are learning the ways of capitalism pretty quick!

Whoever has the most powerful transmitter wins. I'm sure Powell Jr. at the FCC loves it that way.

It's always worked before....

PHB: But EVERYONE has the source code, it must be full of viruses!
That's such a bizarre misunderstanding - the public doesn't have the source for Outlook, yet it gets all the latest viruses!
As with most things legal: get it in writing.

That's like worrying about paying a "ford" tax and going to your ford dealer.
Oh, ok. So all prebuilt PC vendors are Msft dealers/franchise - roger, gotcha.

I actually have a reel of the 1st Star Wars like that - it's pretty bad.
pirate n.
;)
One who robs at sea or plunders the land from the sea without commission from a sovereign nation.
A ship used for this purpose.
One who preys on others; a plunderer.
One who makes use of or reproduces the work of another without authorization.
One that operates an unlicensed, illegal television or radio station.
v. pirated, pirating, pirates v. tr.
To attack and rob (a ship at sea).
To take (something) by piracy.
To make use of or reproduce (another's work) without authorization.
So, it's a common enough usage that it's in the dictionary that I just pillaged and plundered

right here - current conditions:
Solar Wind speed: 512.9 km/s
density:3.5 protons/cm3
plus more.
