    you can do that, with the following programs

    x2x
    x2vnc
    win2vnc

    you will need to run vnc on the non-*nix boxes.

    I have 3 computers that all work off of the same keyboard and mouse, and I can cut and past across them all, 2 linux boxes and one windows box works nice.

    I'd guess that your home and church have tall, strong fences surrounding the entire property, and gates that are always locked, right? I mean, if not, then people can sneak in when you're not there and start selling kiddie port or pirated recordings from the driveway or parking lot. Right?

    No, but it is easy to keep an eye on the whole proporty since the pastor lives there, and during the days there is alot of activity, and we have motion trigered lights, so at night if a light comes one there is reason to take a look. And the church proproty is small. But to watch the network that is a diffent story, since it is wireless at 3 points it can be hard to watch all the traffic, we do at times check the dhcp server logs to see who is on. And we are worried about liability. The nice thing about wireless security, is that most "war drivers" are looking for open easy access if posable, and since there are 3 open ones in the apt building next door, we jsut have to be more secure then them. I do Mac address filtering and WEP. I know WEP is not secure but it adds a bit more time to their tries to get in befor they find that they have to clone a Mac address. I also do Hidden SSID, I know most wireless network hacking programs will find that, but the average joe will not have those.

    Eventually society will figue out that the Internet should work the same way.

    Well as long as we have to pay the money for the bandwidth, we wish that it will be used for the reason we pay for it, and by those who help pay for it, aka the church and the people that are members of the church, we do share it with people that come to the church that are not members, but we would like to know before hand that they will be using it, we have plenty of open ports for a RJ45 plug if some one asked to use them we probably would let them, unless we had reason to belive that they would do something on the net that should not be done in a church.

    Not that simple, alot of muggers will still kill their victums after they get the stuff, so if I was to take a gun with me, how am I to know if this mugger just wants my stuff, and if I give it to him we would leave, or if I was to give it to him, would he turn around and try to kill me once I got close to give him the stuff. I am luck I live in a good part of town so I don't have to carry a gun, and don't plus I don't go out after dark if I can prevent it, and if have to, I just take ID, and a CC those can have no value once I call them in stolen (which can be done fast) plus in a walet I can though so they have to chase after it, and I can run the other way when they go for it. I just thank God I never been mugged.

    My bet is area 51 is just a deco, think about you set up a "base" you plant a few "good" stories for the conspiracy theorist to love, you play the whole thing up. you have a real base some where else. Every one will flock to area 51, then you do your real work at area 52 (or what ever they might call it) I also doubt there are any extra terrestrial research going on in the government, think about it you need the best of the best to even think of starting it, and the government well its the government what other insult do I need to lob at it.

    Area 51 is probably just a few buildings there to keep the amount of people to perpetuate the image that area 51 is real.

    This people probably have fallen for it, and the government might have just planted the motion sensors to keep them busy, they the person steal one I don't know, but either way the government sorta unofficial clams it, and the conspiracy theorists will go wild.
