No, the meaning of "moot" is clear. It simply means a question that at the current time has lost its relevance, or that at the current time has just become the only question that is relevant. Easy.

I dont know, I dont think we even had that much access to tune it so to speak, this was VB4 (1991) back then, I dont think it was a VB extension but an OCX (1994) which is OLE2/ActiveX technology.
I think I got it from a 3.5" disc on the front of a computer mag from memory in the UK but it was a US company that wrote it. So there might be a copy of it in the wayback machine.
It was quite simple to use, so alot of their AI decisions or tuning was probably already made for us in order for it to be put out there as an addon.
But I have never seen anything since for an addon, and it seemed such a good idea in the scheme of things when it comes to computer security with all the hacking that is in the press today.
I had a visual basic AI addon in the 1990's that could work out who was typing at the keyboard from their typing pattern within a few minutes of typing, which kind of rendered the logon process mute.
Today, that can applied to touchscreen logons by tying finger pressure patterns ie size and shape of finger contact with the touchscreen to a user, and when incorporating swipes or mouse movements in the desktop OS context, its possible to have a security app which can lock a system if someone is using a device and user account which is not theirs.
At the very least you can log every time one's GF/missus has gone through your phone.
