Only RD can tell us how many new licenses are actually being sold per year. I wonder how many are migrating away per year?

For what it's worth, we probably average 100-200 new d3 user licenses a year. Sam Anderson has an "interesting" mforula for this .... you CAN make an estimate of kinds by looking at the Revenue of the RD P&L statement |

Wouldn't it be logical to pool these resources under the Spectrum umbrella? |
after I talk with Nathan at the Cinci Spectrum, I may have a different
opinion.

That is not the same thing. That's basically a web poll. There's questions/answers on a human-interactive HTML form. I've been holding web polls on PickSource for years, so I'm not looking to duplicate that. I'm talking about a small BASIC application that you install on your own MV box and run it periodically. That application collects information about your machine and then submits it to a central backend server on the 'net. That server, whatever it is, takes the HTTP based submissions and generates stats info which can be made available in numerous ways. This is a multi-piece, separated "popularity framework". The issue with deploying something like that is flavor incompatabilities of code, lack of socket/network connectivity, and ease of deployment in general. I will create a sample application for D3 and post it. Glen |
addresses for all the pick machines out there connected to the web?
even various popular webservers go to lengths to limit disclosure of
their platform identity. one advantage to pick is obscurity... i know
of more than one pick box on the net that has almost no security on
it... including no passwords for the dm account... and he's a friend
and is completely cognizant of the consequences...
heck, i bet we could find several prime information boxes that still
have the default-"XXXXXX" as their administrator password.
thinking out loud... i've often wondered about the wired passwords that
appears on the dynamically created users... eg. "dm$1" -- did anyone
verify these aren't a security hole? also there were several other
ones that automatically popped up in recent NT implementations. i
didn't have a chance to reverse the password to see if one can log into
that user instance, now as dm$1... but with such potential exposure
potentials, i don't think i would want to create a bunch of IP
addresses for the convenience of some marketing survey (especially to
find out who is exiting the market even faster as a result of the
disclosed SURVEY information!
heck, competitors would really like to have such information. do you
really think there is a neutral party that could really safeguard such
information? if so, you probably think your IRS or SS information is
not shared.

it also presents a security risk! imagine -if only- a list of IP addresses for all the pick machines out there connected to the web? even various popular webservers go to lengths to limit disclosure of their platform identity. one advantage to pick is obscurity... i know of more than one pick box on the net that has almost no security on it... including no passwords for the dm account... and he's a friend and is completely cognizant of the consequences... |
mean anyone can go knocking on the door. Routers exist for a reason.
