Finding patterns
Rather, the agency calls it a tool to capture "one person's experience in and interactions with the world" through a camera, microphone and sensors worn by the user.

More importantly, LifeLog's goal is to create breakthrough software that "will be able to find meaningful patterns in the timetable, to infer the user's routines, habits and relationships with other people, organizations, places and objects," according to Pentagon documents reviewed by The Associated Press.

DARPA's Jan Walker said LifeLog is intended for those who agree to be monitored. It could enhance the memory of military commanders and improve computerized military training by chronicling how users learn and then tailoring training accordingly, officials said.

This is only good I think if you're a developer.

What doesn't work correctly in Win2k3? Some details might be interesting.

--edit--
It updates the media player GUI only, no new WM9 codec related files. And lets see if it really doesn't work on Win2k3.

It fixes all previous bugs as well as providing a useful tool for developers.... a good interim update if you want to keep all your software shiny and new!!

Someone should do their homework. Tech Critik got this from http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/6/e/76e01626-58dc-42a5-9b27-725a3a9bcacf/WindowsMedia9-KB820772-x86-ENU.exe and made it their own.

Should someone learn to spell its Tech-Critic and no we actually took this out of Media Center Edition. So Should someone be quiet and go abck to the n00b forum?

It's exactly the same, not really "EXCLUSUVE" is it

#4.3 Tom Servo on 04 Jun 2003 - 13:25

Took it out of MCE? So why does that file on your site claim to be a hotfix?

Ooh, someone is a spelling nazi while defending the EXCLUSUVE patch.
