If one may not recompile source code and execute it without MS signing it, how will development continue unless you sign your binary at MS headquarters?
To have this work all development would have to be done using MS Visual Studio and every binary would have to be sent to MS.com, be signed, and sent back to the client who then executes it.
Note that signing cannot be done on the compiling machine, otherwise OSS, or even the virus we all fear, will be able to do the same.... just some thoughts.
Not surprising that MS would come up with this knowing their track record with security...
Consider anyone standing behing you while you select the appropriate login. They are bound to see the images you are selecting as your login much more clearly then the key combination you would have typed.
There are big problems with such an approach, and mainly with device usage. Basically they are all the problems that you would have with process migration add a few because of temporal discontinuity.
If you are using a scanner, or a mouse, or whatever, that device may not be there or may not be available when the process is brought back. Furthermore you may have a file descriptor opened on a local (or network shared) file which no longer exists or has changed drastically.
There are further non-device-dependent problems with shared memory, opened-but-unlinked files, parent PID, IPC resources.
Having said all of the above... I suppose that for the very rare case that your program is completely memory and CPU dependent you could retire and recover a task.
ZooLib allows one to write a single set of C++ sources which can be compiled into native executables for Mac OS, Windows, BeOS, or POSIX-compliant systems that use the X Window system (such as Linux).

Imagine if the growth of the fungi could be limited to the course of the track of the CD. It would be nice to inject such fungus inside the CD at one end and allow it to eat slowly the entire CD. Meanwhile you use the CD as a one time pad for an encryption channel. Your pal at the other end is equiped with a similar self-destructing disk.
Besides the obvious, the body needs muscles to protect itself from injury. I have read that your back will hurt a lot less if you give your abs a good workout every few days. This may be hard for geeks, but it does work.
My back has never given me problems in those months that I had time to hit the gym on a semi-regular basis.
I am completely with pilot's comment. Fragmenting into two, three, four, ok a dozen Linux distros is one thing but now if _every_ vendor comes out with their own version of RedHat Linux distro then there will be a saturation.
And what about those poor suckers that have an top of the line sound card, and top or the line video card and top of the line UDMA controller. What are they going to give up on... which vendor's RedHat release are they to run?
If you ask me this is all for stock price boosts. Hey, look ABIT has released Linux... invest in them and make a quick buck over night. It's just crazy.
William Gates clones himself, force grows the new entity to an age of 16 in one year, and undergoes a brain transplant into his new body. It is estimated that he will be able to repeat the procedure every 60 years for about 300 years until his brain decays into a pudding. The entire procedure is estimated by reporters to cost around $10 Billion USD, well within Gates range. Outcries ensue from religious leaders outraged that Gates will be avoiding damnation enternal in the afterlife (though everyone knows they are just pissed he can afford it and they cant).
On his release from the transplant surgery (on 2021 April 30th), Gates is gunned down outside the hospital, dying immediately from a head wound, though he was hit twice. The gunman, claiming that he is innocent and "just a patsy", is given the chair in a public execution televised on Fox. While being strapped into the chair, he screams, "I just couldnt stand the thought of that guy f^cking everybody and trying to take over the world every night for another 300 years!"
Oddly enough, doomsayers and astrologists had marked 2021/04/30 as a day of "A great cataclysm, the end of the world." On rechecking their notes, they discover that it really was "A narrowly averted cataclysm, possibly the end of the world."
Later evidence reveals that it would have been impossible for the gunman to have hit Gates in the head from the angle he allegedly fired the shots. Conspiracy theories fly around the internet for about 3 days, and then everybody decides that they are just happy Gates is dead and leave it rest.

doh! I suck.
I meant for that to be 31.
lol.
Looks like they based their protocol on ssh.

It seems that November 4th they will be doing a full 'production' test. Cool.
I wonder how many people will change theirs to same as mine...

And here I thought that every URL passed to Slashdot was begging for a stress test!
No one will ever use this until it has an OpenGL front end.

I look around to the neighboring cubicles and see each screen lit up with the green Slashdot logo... my coworkers clicking intently. :)

I find it very strange that there is no place to put the Linux kernel, or MACH for that matter. I guess it's not really Open Source.
