You probably imagine some cracker in his basement snooping your VNC connection. That's not the usual case. If you leave a VNC server running long enough someone will crack it. And it's bots. Plain old bots, that scan the ports.
It's not some cracker interested in YOU or YOUR communications. It's a botnet trying to add another node. Or something very much alike that.
It's insecure, I talk of experience, I've seen how (in)secure it is.
A few years ago, I was sitting in front of two PCs, using just one, but after a minutes, I noticed the start menu opened on the other, and some commands started typing themselves in. I immediately noticed the VNC icon notifying me someone was connected.
My guess: there's thousands of bots looking for open VNC connections. You don't have to be targeted specifically. Lesson: don't leave VNC to an open internet connection, even with a strong password.
MySQL supports concurrency, doing what you propose, you can handle one request at a time. There's clearly a difference. I don't expect many applications to scale if you can only write with one thread at a time.
Most of the times, MySQL sits behind some application, the command line too can't replace that scenario.
In many cases, judges have ruled that the changes cannot be so unbalanced towards one side. "No longer providing a service you have already paid for without any compensation" sounds like a case that would most likely result in this.
Because most hardware isn't totally new. The processor isn't, the GPU isn't, it's just a matter of how they've been put together this time. Linux works out-of-the-box on plenty of new laptop models as soon as they come out, because not every model means totally new hardware.
Why not? It's the only notebook with a display capable of 2,880×1,800, so if you want a notebook with a resolution higher than 1080p, its your only choice.
The hardware specs of a Macbook Pro "Retina" are quite unique, so there's plenty of other reasons you'd want this particular model just for hardware.
Where I live, a Macbook Air is the only choice for something similar to an "ultrabook". Everything else weighs twice as much, and includes crap I don't want, like huge HDDs or optical drives. So even if I dislike Apple's software, their hardware is really the only choice for me.
Flash and Flex have lots of thing that work with callbacks. Natuarally, I'd expect those to be implemented with threads. Those sort of things should be trivial to port to multiprocessor architectures (at least for Adobe).
Also, good thread support would result in developers using threads, and that would also be easier to run in multicore processors.

Indeed, it seems mikogo's license has changed at some point. :(
Maybe he doesn't want/need that?
Good news: It seems you won't be needing it to run steam in a near future (hopefully)!
Why not an SSH tunnel, isn't it simpler? You could just make a tiny software the opens the tunnel for your users anyway.
iptables? Really? Have you even tried OpenBSD's pf? That's a powerfull yet easy-to-use firewall!
Someone please mod this funny!
There's a big difference between FLOSS and freeware.
The main one being you can assertain that FLOSS software is secure, and if the middleman is trustworthy; you can't do that with freeware.
Also, Mikogo es almost the same as teamviewer, but FLOSS.

And to set up sshd and vnc onto a distant relative's computer, I'll just use VNC over SSH.
Oh, wait!
Mikogo (www.mikogo.com/) is pretty good. I think it's pretty much what you're looking for, FLOSS and cross-platform.

MySQL is lighter than PostgreSQL.
SQLite is an embeded database; it's really a different sort of tool altogether.

Could you please link to a cheap non-apple laptop with a 2880x1800 display? Thanks!
The difference is that your wife's notebook wan't designed specifically for Linux.

Let's face it: it doesn't take much effort to claim Assange is being politically persecuted. It's not like they don't actually truly believe that.
They're not circumventing the law; the Ecuadorian embassy is subject to Ecuadorian law, not UK law.

GP's point is till valid; the real question is why they never improved flash to use those additional cores.
It's not "so many sites"; I don't have flash on any of my computers or cell phone, and I'm not missing out on anything.
Hopefully, those sites will stop using flash. They're already unavailable to users who refuse to install flash anyway.
Flash has always sucked. I'm glad Adobe is finally admitting it.
