Your rendition of UsePrivilegeSeparation was misleading my own appalling spelling efforts, but it was like 3 AM or some such. In the old days they would have called it "UseChRoot". My favourite spelling geek observation was made after I broke Windows networking by putting the "u" back into the "Network Neighborhood" label - "what is in a name?" - come on you have to try these things. My glorious use of Windows continues here, yesterday I crashed the remaining Win9x box here by asking it to allow me to do Advanced Editing on the task bar. Is this a record, Start, Settings, Taskbar, Advanced - Explorer dies...... He-he our "new government" are rebranding NTP as the British product GeT (Greenwich Electronic Time www.linx.org special project) they seem to have a free client for Windows operating systems (Patriotism doesn't extend to operating systems from the UK it seems). Haven't tried the free client for Windows, I already have AboutTime, maybe GCHQ are sick to death of intercepts with the wrong date/time stamp on. Perhaps we should query the government if it's releasing gratis (not free) tools for Windows is anticompetitive, and actively helping our competitor Microsoft. As MS protested the NSA releasing Security Enhanced Linux (Take arms against the NSA - hmm Bill knows how to pick his enemies) was actively promoting their competitors products. Then their is the Inland Revenue encouraging people to use of M$ products.. tsck... Not that I really want to be able to submit tax returns electronically via Linux, but if it saves paying Microsoft for the pleasure<sic>. Perhaps they should release these things in Java, now it is reappearing in XP, till 2004 (hahahaha - talk about trying desparately, and transparently, to create some FUD)
He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.
