  1. Terminal server alternative on Converting Desktops to Thin Clients? · · Score: 1

    my company was recently looking for a terminal service solution. Because we sell our software to mostly small companies, it is sometimes too expensive for them to buy MS Server 2003 just to have 5-6 simultanous rdp connections, so we were looking for alternative and we found http://www.xpunlimited.com/where they state
    that their product
    'XP Unlimited turns your Windows XP Professional System into a full blown Terminal Server, without any limit.'

    we found them just last week so haven't deployed their software yet, but probably we'll go out and acquire.
    Price can't be beat; unlimited connection terminal server on plain old winxp for just 125$

    from my undertanding, they found a way to expand already present RDP in winxp pro.

  2. Re:who else? on TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark · · Score: 1

    great idea. or maybe merge best of two technologies together (edonkey + bt) and create ultimate copyright infringement p2p network

  3. REBOL on P2P In 15 Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    it would take only one line in rebol probably.

    and no external libs

  4. Re:Let me guess: on Will Google Launch A Browser? · · Score: 1

    myway.com would fit naturaly into google network.

  5. Re:Impossible Valuation on Google Slashes IPO price · · Score: 1

    too bad AOL snapped advertising.com.
    That would be an interesting IPO.
    In my view their advertising model is far superior (from advertiser pov, ROI wise) than pay per click model.

  6. Re:Napster... on Roxio To Concentrate on Online Music Business · · Score: 1

    LiNUX on the stock ticker too...if I remember corectly they also had similar bussines move ie shrinking.

    I'll rather wait for kzaa ticker to go long

  7. Re:Some licence on Google and Yahoo Settle Overture Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I said it before and I'll say it again; stock might drop a little, but no way it will go to area you are predicting (and I do short stocks for living). It is just search engine, but it is "the search engine." It has commanding marketshare in that area and great and inovative work force.

    I think it will be good long-term investment as a premier internet blue stock.

    Anyway, time will tell.

    (for anyone interested I developed few web apps in rebol, check them at my site http:www.wsbears.com/charts.html, such a good language as rebol is, deserves more attention, imo )

  8. Re:No Purpose? on Why Wall Street Wants Google to Fail · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Speaking as a trader specializing in shorting stock, I would never short google. It might be overpriced but so was Ebay, yet stock kept rising. You just dont short companies which are monopolies or dont have strong competiton. It might be overpriced when, it opens, but with time it will do fine. As long as people continue to search and click those ads.

    And they will.

  9. Re:Damn ! on Sun to Build Alternative Desktop ? · · Score: 1

    That is right, those Lighthose Design apps are second to none. Too bad they are abandoned. Sun should at least sell those apps to Apple. Maybe they could convert and update them on MacOSX.

  10. Thoughts about REBOL? on Ask Guido van Rossum · · Score: 1

    especially new REBOL/View.

  11. Amiga revenge on The "New" Amiga Finally Releases Something · · Score: 1

    Looks like other Amigans are active as well.
    Rebol/view is out and from what I`ve seen it kicks ass. Scriptable
    gui creator for Internet.
    This Amiga SDK for multiple CPU might be interesting as well, this sounds like
    Transmeta concept but other way around.
    There are some real innovations coming out from AMIGA community.
    maybe this will lead to some kind of convergence between Amiga and Linux communities
    God knows Linux needs elegance of AMIGA software like YAM.

  12. Artificial stupidity is a must on Bruce Sterling's Letter from 2035 · · Score: 1

    On the subject of computers predicting stock movement I would like to add following:
    1. Stock market is actually a "computing machine" which with its milions of nodes (investors) evaluate how much certain corporation(s) or bond/debt is worth at present time. In order for computer to do this it would have to became omnipresent in an Orwellian way. It still could not anticipate where the stock will go in the future, because that is determined by future events or even no events (future without any event).
    2. On the node level (sole investor being replaced by computer) problem is Artificial stupidity which is very hard to produce in a machine. You need to put
    something like FUD parameters in a computer fuzzy logic in order to create something similar to average investor. Perfect machine (or in this case perfect replacement for an investor) must under certain conditions buy high and sell low.

  13. Stanislaw Lem must read on Sci Fi Literature 101? · · Score: 2

    Great polish master Stanislaw Lem would be my favorite, with books like "Solaris", "Fiasco" etc...
    Of course this would lead you to another big artist
    rusian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky... and meditation after this could lead you ... well away form computers.....
