H323 is a huge ball of protocols (H245/Q931/etc) for communications technologies. See the OpenH323 project for more. You can use it for connecting, say, VoIP and a regular phone using a Cisco PSTN gateway. The two main reasons for using something like the H323 protocol set are for session initiation (can you do video? What audio codecs do you support?) and data format (G721/722/726/etc).
NetMeeting and GnomeMeeting both support some subset of H323 that lets them talk. So you can do audio/video between platforms that way.
There's another protocol called "SIP," for Session Initiation Protocol. H323 is extremely complex (until OpenH323 you needed to pay $$$ to license an ASN1 compiler to compile the protocol into headers so you could code to the spec) and a pain to tunnel over HTTP. SIP was created by some folks who recognized the weaknesses in H323 and decided to create their own protocol.
Bottom line, you can use GnomeMeeting to talk to NetMeeting. I have no idea about to OS X world.

I just moved back to MA. Romney frustrates me...I'm glad he is attempting to rein in spending, but sometimes he just seems like pure evil.
And I moved from CO...at first, I visited Moab, which on any given day probably has more out of state visitors than full-time residents. It wasn't 'til I visited Park City, which is still pretty "liberal" and watched the local news that I realized how much the LDS controls gov't. "This bill was sponsored by xxx, a LDS member," etc. "Something blew up in a foreign country, now for a long piece on a polygamist colony in southern Utah!"
I sure hope he's getting more than that site claims, through "under the table" contributions ("Well well well, if it isn't Mr. No Bribe").
I mean, if you're gonna sell the country up the river, at least make enough cash to buy a small island where you can hide from your constituency or something! Maybe the dude can buy a Cayenne Turbo S with some spinners, but come on!

Post, THEN smoke crack. Try using Eclipse, JDE in Emacs, Emacs with tags, vi with tags...if you are stuck in Windows land, http://www.wholetomato.com has some cool productivity enhancers.
Really interesting read about technical decisions made, etc. etc.
"IE is a browser with no soul." Yeah, I don't care. I never used to use Mozilla because it, well, sucked. For a few years. I use Firefox because it doesn't suck and is, in fact, much better than IE.
Have you ever driven around Boston? There aren't any, and when you come to a four-way intersection with diagonal streets you can't tell which street is which. It's all landmarks, buildings and memory. Being able to use a system like this would be a godsend...especially for rental car agencies.

Yeah, what was up with the guy who wasn't upgrading from Win98? "I've got the worst release of Windows EVER, and I ain't gonna change!"
The guy who wrote the original ST article was trolling, as I run XP for weeks with Eclipse/DevStudio/Outlook/Firefox/Thunderbird open. Outlook craps out, but that's a function of Outlook/Exchange, not Windows.
Yes, the Windows XP native wireless support is garbage. It disconnects on a frequent basis for no reason whatsoever. Luckily my NetGear MA111 USB dongle came with its own software.
Listen.com is $10 for all the music you want. It's really nice to be able to experiment without getting screwed at the record store...and without going through the pain of using a P2P client.
When I was taking software engineering at UMass, the professor would read an example of software eng. gone horribly wrong before class...the Therac-25 was one of the examples.
Graduated '97. After I left, the dept built a brand new building and judging from the alumni paper, it's still a quality program.

I was lucky enough to stumble across UMass. I think the difference lies in the overall goal: produce a programmer who knows how to create a Visual C++ project vs. a Computer Scientist who knows how hash tables and linked lists really work.
It was hard work, but I really appreciated the focus once I left school and entered a Real World job where I was expected to hit the ground running.

I can't really think of anybody who couldn't program that ended up graduating. There was one class that I took twice that some people never made it past. A bunch of people who started the program didn't finish it.
Well, here's the thing. You're making claims about comp sci programs that ain't true. I got my bachelor's in comp sci from UMass, and our first class covered linked lists in Pascal. This was followed by Scheme and an intense algorithms class. We weren't taught languages, we were taught concepts.
People aren't slamming you, just your inaccurate statements.
Exactly. There's no "hanging chad" when you're talking 0 or 1. I'm all for these systems.
Let's see. Even if one machine is compromised, one candidate might win one county. Winning enough counties to take the election is going to take hundreds of people. The chances of hundreds of people working together in a distributed manner like that w/o somebody getting wasted and bragging about it to a waitress at "Hooters" is very low.
Seriously, we need to be more open minded about digital voting systems.
You realize he put in a candidate name that will get one vote, so if he sees his name in the results he knows the system works without trying to trace the result of his specific vote...

The thread is talking about GIFs, so I would imagine the parent poster was talking about using PNG instead of GIF.

Did you read the article about the proposed law? Do you think it ignores our rights?

He's using a 100yr old law to prevent people from coming to MA for same sex marriage.
He is pushing to reintroduce the death penalty.

If you use digital signatures and a third-party certificate authority that is universally trusted, you can hit the hardware via JNI.
Digital signatures can be a pain, but once you get them into an automated process and get everything working you've got a trusted, reliable system.
