Check out KB276304 from Microsoft. There’s apparently a bug that appears when Windows 2000 is configured to authenticate against an MIT Kerberos domain that throws the following error message:
Your password must be at least 18770 characters and cannot repeat any of your previous 30689 passwords. Please type a different password. Type a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes.

This is the tile at the entrance to the plaza…sums up their vision from quite a few years ago:

I just spend shy of 50 minutes watching a very interesting BBC show about gravity. Think you know everything there is to know about gravity, just because you understand that it keeps us from flying off the planet, and because you know about Newton? Did you know that time is slower in orbit around the earth than it is on the ground…because of gravity? Did you know that light gets bent over long distances because of gravity? Did you know that both Newton and Einstein were wrong? If you’re interested in science at all, I think you’ll find this quite interesting. There’s even a segment about GPS for all you geocachers out there!
