    Software license manager from "long" ago

    Many, many moons ago (2000-2003 'ish) there was a program that was used to keep track of software licenses across the network. It ran on the client and put a small "key" icon on the taskbar. The client connected back to a "license server". I think the program was called "Key Logic" but it...

    Jesus's middle name is Hume! Caution: Some NSFW images within!

    Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure...

    Any District of Columbia commuters/residents here? considering job there

    My 2 cents: Have been living in the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area for the past 9 years and doing the "95 crawl" for the entire time. It stinks. I work out past the Dulles Airport now and have just found a "short cut" that cuts my commute down to 90 minutes (one way) on a good day...

    255 confirmed kills: Meet Navy SEAL Chris Kyle... the deadliest sniper in US history

    The answer to this question is easy: ZERO, Nada, None There are very strict ROE (Rules of Engagement) when it comes to engaging a target as a sniper. They are called off of taking more shots than they are allowed to take. It is NOT like playing a game where you shoot everything that moves.

    4 or 8, that is the question

    I thought about that but my own personal code of ethics won't allow me to "bend the rules" that way. I will keep saving my change until I get the money to buy a fully licensed copy. Thanks for the ideas though! Hadn't heard of that before but will do some reading on it

    True, I had read about a switch to put at the end of the ARC path in the boot.ini that is /maxmem (article is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/108393) It doesn't specifically talk about XP though it does list Server 2003 I will just go with the 2 x 2Gb for 4Gb total. That should be...

    A while ago Mr. Anand was writing about his home theatre project on the front page of the site here. I enjoyed following along and then lost track of it and was wondering if it ever got finished and/or did he ever write anything more about it? Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this...
