That Seadragon stuff is old. When I was in the Marines, it was a technology called Mr. Sid. It was pyramid-based layers of an image that allowed you to zoom seamlessly all the way down to the natural resolution of an image... and could be handled on a 500 MHz Pentium 3 with easy. My PC here at work was kinda struggling with the Seadragon bit.
There's the classic Scorched Earth and then the re-written freeware version, Charred Dirt. It's the predecessor (I think) to the Worms series of games. Just google "Charred Dirt" and you'll find it.
The company that made Bratz was successfully sued because the guy that invented them got the idea while working for Mattel on the Barbie project. This seems eerily similar to me.
I second this. My workplace also utilizes GotoMeeting (www.gotomeeting.com) and while it's based off of VNC if I remember correctly, it seems to perform far better. Like it was said above, it's not free, but it gives a lot. It also provides audio conferencing if everybody calls Citrix's phone line and enter the meeting ID. This means nobody needs any kind of audio conferencing solution since they provide it.
No, it's not vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks because the VPN is secure. It encrypts ALL traffic going over the tunnel. In most cases, it's encrypted 2x over due to the fact that there are in actuality 2 tunnels. Phase 1 has 2 endpoints set up between the 2 public IPs. It creates 2 pseudo endpoints within that with internal network addresses and the second tunnel between them is created that's also encrypted. The traffic goes through this second tunnel. It WOULD be vulnerable to man-on-the-inside attacks but there is no situation that's free of fear from those attacks.
If they've got access to the appropriate permissions and the knowledge of packet sniffing on the network and know what they're watching for and know the 2 endpoint IPs to watch for the traffic, sure.
You're close, OxFCE2. Secret and Top Secret data do not go out over the standard internet. There are 2 other completely seperate networks that I know of. They don't connect to the Internet in any way, shape, or form. They work exactly LIKE the internet, but completely seperate from it.
You're dense. I specified over a VPN tunnel. At work ours our encrypted with SHA1 and 3DES between both ends of the tunnel. Once you've got a VPN, you can push data in plain text and it's secure. There is little way around an inside intruder. If you've got to worry about that, then you've already got bigger issues at hand.
At my place of business, we use WatchGuard firewalls. They do the job pretty well and they have a software package that the other firewall manufacturers also have. They call it Mobile VPN. Cisco calls it simple a VPN client. SonicWall has an adaptation that gets installed via an ActiveX control on a web browser. They all serve the same function... a VPN requires 2 sides of the tunnel to initiate. Each side has to know the others' IP address so they each can initiate with the proper authority. These VPN packages allow that second half of the tunnel to be on a static IP to have an encrypted VPN tunnel up and running in now time allowing very secure transmissions that pass any security screening. This would include initiating an unencrypted FTP transfer provided it GOES OVER the VPN tunnel. That's why in the post below, I specified 10.10.10.10 as an example. The 10.* IP addresses are restricted to private, internal addresses if I remember right (and I could be wrong). Either way, some form of VPN is suggested if you intend on transmitting data frequently to the same person.
Yes, I did attempt to. hehe... the point I failed to clarify was that if you provide that person on the other side with the technical details, it won't matter. If their IT and your IT has already done a spiffy enough job, that person won't have to even know what a VPN is. Just tell them: "Here, click this and get your file."

What are you spewing? If you don't trust the website, then YouTube it...
A HA! Silly javascript...
bad link?
Yes, it's made up, but it's one of the most funny tech support bits ever made! http://www.thewebsiteisdown.com/
About 8 years ago was when I was in. I was a topographic analyst. We had a MrSid plugin for Erdas Imagine. Worked damn well, too.

I also agree about this one. Certification books are incredibly useful.
Someone PLEASE mod parent down.
use this instead: find . | xargs grep -l keyword much faster.

That's simply putting a bandaid on the issue instead of performing surgery to fix it entirely.

Yes, it's already authenticated, but most email systems will not route email over that VPN. It will route it to the publicly accessible IP.
