I've run X apps over ssh -C quite nicely. Emacs and mozilla. I have to make sure that mozilla on the remote machine does not tell my desktop mozilla to just open a new window. But when I do have a remote mozilla, on a dual PIII machine in New York, displaying on my Boston desktop via cable modem, it runs very nicely. In fact it seems to run just as fast as my desktop mozilla (I'm running on a K6II 550), if not faster. Scrolling cnn.com is smoother with ssh compression, than without.
I dunno how to explain it but it works great. I run Emacs remotely every day. My cable modem has about the same bandwidth as your dsl.
The Russian shuttle was able to land on auto-pilot. I think it would be good for NASA to look into this. If in a future flight, a shuttle's reentry safety is in question and the crew is safely aboard the station or another recovery ship, NASA can still try to land the shuttle on auto-pilot. This would give a chance to recover the shuttle if is survives reentry.
It could even be a backup option in case the pilot(s) are incapacitiated (sp).
I might also recomend David Suzuki of Canada. He's kinda the Canadian Sagan. Really cool guy. He used to have a science show called the Nature of Things.
ooh, you can make the glass door a giant lcd or any one of those technologies used to make shading windows. This way you can have an opaque fridge, until you want to take a peek. To be honest, I don't want to see my moldy cheese to be so easily visible.
I've installed gpg sigs from the redhat install media.

The only thing I've used the MD5 sig is for verifying download completeness. That and generating a session id string using a secret string in combination with publicly known strings. But that secret string is as good as the security of the server it exists in.
I have higher degree of trust for the gpg key that comes on the RedHat CD's from official RedHat boxes. Nothing against other distro's, RedHat is just an example.

You might want to read this paragraph from the webpage:
"I should, however, stress that SchoolNet has no desire to FUND Microsoft in such an endeavour, to the tune of US$22,500 for pilot [Microsoft-driven] school hardware + US$ 9,300 for laptop MS OS, in exchange for a paltry US$2,000 worth of proprietary OFFICE PRO application software!"
Microsoft's offer does not add up to be a gift or a donation. This is not like giving a dollar or 10 to a beggar.
Well not all woes. But there is a humble and unfortunate list of, let's just say, bad outcomes and actions, that are completely at the fault of US foreign policy or the CIA. Toppling or trying to topple a democratically elected foreign government not only pisses off the locals, but goes against the grain of the philosophy that this country was built with.
I second that. I've been doing online banking with fleet just fine. For a while it was hanging with some versions of Mozilla milstones but then it cleared up.
Just to throw in a data point from a personal experience.
I once ran mozilla from a dual PIII645 remotely from a NY hosting facility through my cable modem access in boston. It ran just as fast as my native mozilla on my k6II550. I thought it was interesting.
I believe some of the slowness you're seeing has to do with Gnome itself. I haven't used gnome2 yet but I hear it's snappier. and of course, there has been speed improvements in Xfree from v3 to v4 (from what I've noticed). I have not noticed the issue you have mentioned on my machine.
A lot of the X issues people mention (or don't name at all) are actually from the tookits and applications and desktops themselves. I mean look at the amout of memory needed to run the latest linux/unix desktops. I miss how fast windomaker used to get started:)
If anything X is a work in development as this latest extension shows. And we're stuck with it for the time being.
I got that far, but I want to be able to zoom out again. The cursor default to the zoom-in function but I could not find a keyboard modifier to make it zoom out. And since I could not access the functions in the menus, I was stuck.
" OK..let me tell you something....since you are not a citizen, you have no right to talk about MY country, just as I don't have a right to talk about yours."
Sure he does. The spirit of the First Amendmant. It's a very good idea. And something tells me your righteousness would prevented you from talking about his country.
I think the comparison between the H1B visa and MS is not a very good one. A lot of the anti-MS sentiments are MS's own fault. It's their intent to dominate and control, not just succeed.
I don't exactly know how H1bs work, but does the company decide on the salary? Does the H1b have any say or choice? Besides, blame it on the company policy rather than the poor soul.
Hate is so easy to come by. Vent it at the company that "gave" away the job rather than the guy who "took" it.

I was wondering how you were getting such a high mpg on a saturn until I read '5 speed manual'.
I myself have a '98 saturn sl2, automatic. I have been getting between 28-30 mpg on mixed city/highway driving. I drive 75-85 mph on the highway.
It's a decent car. I keep have to remind myself that other cars have metalic exteriors.

I think nautilus has been notorious for being slow. Apparently there have been some speedups due to development post-Eazel.
But yeah. I have turned nautilus off. The old gmc is much faster, if not as featurefull.
Given all that. I love running emacs remotely from the dev server.
