No need for hacks like that.. X has remote access built in at the protocol level. I never saw the point of VNC on a Unix machine.. it's a Windows thing really.
On a LAN with X remote you can't tell you're not working on the local machine, it's that good.
The movies are a joke (same price as the DVD!!!), and there are no decent games (and I'm not paying that kind of money to find out.. I'll stick with the three I bought on the launch day until they start selling them in the bargain bucket section).
The only reason I haven't sold mine is I can't be arsed with ebay. This hack might allow me to give the thing some more life (woo homemade games probably even worse than the commercial crap. Can't wait).
I might sound bitter. I am.. that thing was expensive.
.NET is fine if you're running on Windows. If you're cross platform either Java (if your app isn't performance critical) or C/C++ (if it is) are far better choices.
I have a large project that runs from the same source on Windows,Linux,Solaris,AIX,HPUX,OSX,Tru64 and even iSeries. Well written C/C++ is *very* portable.
The most of the code is GPL/LGPL mixed anyway (small amounts of closed... device drivers, etc.) so anyone could use the code, but it makes things simpler for things like license changes if we part company.

- It only works on certain sites - javascript confuses it completely - They keep changing the f***ing algorythm, so next time you install it none of your passwords work! - If you're working on another machine you can't log in anywhere.
I gave up on it.. something like that shipped with the browser would probably work though.
You can buy blank dvd-ram media at Wal*Mart, Ratshack, Target, and many other stores (anybody that sells Panasonic dvd recorders). Media price varies, but I've seen them for less than $3 each (sometimes MUCH less in 3 or 5 packs).
Even at its cheaped DVD-RAM is ten times the cost of DVD-RW, for no real advantage. Lifetime is irrelevant at the prices of DVD-RW.. they're throwaway cost.
It's slashdotted anyway.. it gets to the part about entering the email address then dies.
It's creepy being told how wonderful Origen is when you're an SG1 fan (although that season has yet to air in Europe so only those who've downloaded it would get the reference).
Round here the 'name' brand is Enermax (the cheapest brand is coolermaster, which have a habit of exploding a couple of months after you bought them, and sound like an aircraft taking off...). Never managed to get the enermax to perform as it says on the tin - I have a 550w enermax that can't drive a 6800GT for example. They consistently overrate their PSUs, cover them with gold paint and sell them as 'premium' when they're nothing of the sort.
OTOH the 'no name' PSUs seem to perform much better.. they're also cheaper to replace when they explode (about once a year seems to be average).
If you stick to the mysql 3.23 client you're OK... that has limitations (no prepared statements, for example) for is less of a legal minefield.
Unless you're 100% GPL or extremely rich ($300 per client for the full commercial license.. I had 2.5 million (free) downloads last year - I'd owe Mysql 7.5 *billion* dollars if I'd used mysql4 (I'm mostly LGPL so can't use the GPL client)).
This whole 'force GPL3' thing is precisely the reason I removed 'or later' from all my GPL code.
I don't want someone submitting a patch and forcing the license to change (especially with some of the crap that's supposed to be in there). RMS is using weasel words but it's basically true that 1 line of GPL3 code forces the entire code GPL3.. and as an author that's not acceptable.
Second series of Atlantis is quite good IMO... the characters have some depth at last.
Just as SG1 has taken a bit of a nosedive.. (I don't 'get' these priors at all.. why would *anyone* take them seriously? Especially the jaffa, who have only just got rid of one set of false gods...)

With Vista needing 1GB minimum I wouldn't worry about memory optimisation to compete with it :)

He's bulshitting to get votes.
OK so how is this different from netstat -an?

Listening on a port != rootkit. Windows listens on dozens of ports - some of which you can't switch off without crippling the system.
Mine's fairly locked down, and listens on:
TCP: 135,139,445,1025
UDP: 445,500,1026,1137,1138,1251,1900,2419,2420,3273,3
And that's just the ones listening on 0.0.0.0...
System (more accurately LocalSystem) can't access network resources.
/interactive cmd.exe
So there is *something* that they can't do.
Try

voila! Interactive system shell!
Space shuttle? pfft. 1 atmosphere...
Diving bells are more the kind of thing you'd need.
Well the first link is a spam site and the second link doesn't exist.
Gotta do better than that... there are two sides to the breakup, and they say the opposite.
They say on their web page the exact opposite.
Who are we to believe?
Not my problem, or slashdot's.
They *are*.

There's always PwdHash.. unfortunately:

Therein lies the death of DVD-RAM.
10 DVD-RAM (spindle tub, unbranded 4.7GB) £1.50/disk.
10 DVD-RW (splindle tub, unbranded 4.7GB) £0.17/disk.
Even at its cheaped DVD-RAM is ten times the cost of DVD-RW, for no real advantage. Lifetime is irrelevant at the prices of DVD-RW.. they're throwaway cost.
I can't see UMD going anywhere... watching expensive low-res movies on a PSP isn't interesting to any but a tiny minority.
It's just another sony proprietary format...
The license exception is meaningless.
Mysql is GPL.. you link it with an LGPL library & distrubute.. OK the license exception appears to allow that.
Now someone links the LGPL library with a closed source application. The LGPL allows that. However the GPL in MySql does not.
Only two interpretations are then possible:
1. The whole package must be GPL - the license exception is meaningless.
2. The license exception holds.. the GPL in Mysql is meaningless.
30GB is easy - it's only 1GB a day, or equivalent of around 12KB/s.
I've conistently used 50-75GB just downloading/email/browsing/sending off test builds/etc.
I wouldn't join an ISP with a quota less than 150GB.

I'm pretty sure losing it in the delta quadrant isn't covered...

Heh you'll get modded down for that.. going against the groupthink.
I forced my self to watch 4 or 5 episodes then gave up... it was painful. The old series was much better.
Second series of Atlantis is quite good IMO... the characters have some depth at last.

I never understood why they cancelled futurama when it had so much mileage in it.
These are the same people that cancelled Enterprise just after the got good writers on it, though, so you can see the mentality we're dealing with.
I'll never look at a carrot the same way again after watching that.
And it wouldn't be my head I'd be covering with a pillow either...
