10/17   The software technology, according to industry sources, would
        essentially act as a downloader, repeatedly requesting the same file
        and downloading it very slowly, essentially preventing others from
        accessing the file. While stopping short of a full denial-of-service
        attack, the method could substantially clog the target computer's
        Internet connection.

        \_ yeah, like this tactic won't be effectively nullified in the
           next release of whichever file-sharing program is being targetted,
           or at worst the release after the next
        \_ Sounds like a job for caching proxy servers.

"The integration of Passport into XP seems to be pointless," said
Child, a high school student from Atherton, Calif. "I don't know why
Passport can't just stay in Web sites where it belongs. The only
explanation is that Microsoft wants to begin to integrate Passport
into applications as well."
        \_ Well, duh.  Even Microsoft has said this - look at .NET
           and the new Messager in XP.
                \_ Which is why it'll be more than just an operating
                   system. It'll be a new eXPerience!
                   \_ Yeah, eXPerience the pain when some virus writer
                      discovers a security hole.

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

4/28    Win 3.1 was more widely adopted than Win 3.0.  Win XP (5.1) was more
        widely adopted than Win 2k (5.0).  Now it looks like Win 7 (6.1) is
        going to be more widely adopted than Vista (6.0).  Is this a trend on

8/3     VMWare + Windows XP + Validation question. I need to test stuff with
        Service Pack 3 installed. I have a valid key that I own (yeah yeah I
        actually *bought* a copy, please don't flame me for supporting evil
        M$). Is it possible to register the key once, and then duplicate it
        for testing purposes?  Will Windows or Microsoft detect copies and
        disable the rest the copies?

10/11   Are Windows CE, Windows Embedded, and Windows Mobile the same thing?
        They all sound like the Windows version for small devices.  Is it just
        a marketing thing to rename different versions of the same product?
        Thanks.
        \_ Windows CE is the generic term for Windows Mobile, which includes
           "Pocket PC" Edition, and the castrated  "Smartphone" edition.

        I enjoyed the quote "The more you tighten your grip, Bill,
        the more systems will slip through your fingers."  But the
        subject itself doesn't bode well.  Microsoft is beggining a
        drastic rollout of anti-piracy features that will make pirating
        windows and or software in general near impossible.

6/13    What is the cheapest way to get 3 or 4 arguably legal
        copies of winXP, preferable with SP2 ?  Also, how much
        do extra terminal licenses cost? tnx.
        \_ OEM licenses are cheaper but you can't move them to a different
           machine once you activate it.  (OEM licenses are what you get when
           you buy a new Dell, etc.)

UK chip designer ARM will unveil its 64-bit processor design for handheld computers on Wednesday at the Microprocessor Forum in San Jose, California. The processor, called Jaguar, uses features more often found in servers, but will be used to power a new generation of broadband wireless devices that use third generation (3G) mobile networks. Chips based on existing ARM designs already power most popular handheld devices. Microsoft said last month that its new handheld operating system would only support Intel's StrongARM SA-1110 processors, which were already used by Compaq's popular iPaq line. Microsoft rival Palm is also moving its operating system across to chips based on ARM processors. ARM has closed "its first couple of deals" with manufacturers including chip maker STMicroelectronics. Jaguar will use super-scalar techniques, but will have to do so without greatly increasing power consumption or breaking the space constraints of wireless devices. Widening the data path and address space to 64 bits, while also using super-scalar cores that execute more than one instruction every cycle, are ways in which core processor speed can be increased. Applications such as video streaming, voice recognition and global positioning are likely to be those that benefit most from 64-bit power on handheld devices. The company has said it could recruit partners to develop its next chip architectures, in the same way that Intel recruited Hewlett-Packard for its IA-64 64-bit design.
