A Full-Time 2-Way Video Link To Grandparents?
uid7306m writes "We have elderly parents who live a long way off. However, my technological radar tells me that it's possible to set up a 24/7 video link between our kitchen and theirs. It'd be good for our kids and good for the parents, and we can now get pretty cheap nearly unlimited broadband connections at this end (UK). What's the best way to do it? Has anyone tried it? On the far end, it ought to have, in Dilbert's(TM) immortal words 'One big button on it, and we push it for you in the factory.'"
Why not Skype, I use that on my mac to talk with my friend in Hawaii who uses Linux on here laptop
Liar!!! We all know chicks don't run Linux!
(Note: Lest you think I really am a jerk, I assure you the above is a joke only. I actually learnt kernel hacking from these ladies:

I don't agree with their politics as I find it too separatist, but this was one fantastic tutorial and I have no problem crediting a female for work well done)

if you are going to credit someone for work well done, why the fuck does their sex matter.
It doesn't. It was a joke, playing against the slashdot meme of Ug Us Men Women No Use Linux.
You really have to understand that a lot of girls are smarter than you.
That ain't hard. Some days I think my labrador is much smarter than me. Intelligence is a very hard thing to quantify.
Mmmm girls smarter than me are my biggest turn on.
pardon me it's 4:30am and I just left my bar so yes I am drunk. and yes my ex wife was smarter than me but hell she's smarter than anyone else i have ever met.
Explains the post. Hope you sleep it off well, and the ex is an ex for a reason. Move on.
