Discussion
This method connects the receive port of the receiving NSConnection object with the specified service name. If the operation is successful, other NSConnection objects can contact the receiver using the connection and root class methods.
If the receiver was already registered under a name and this method returns NO, the old name remains in effect. If this method is successful, it also unregisters the old name.
To unregister an NSConnection object, simply invoke register and supply nil as the connection name.
