Unfortunately, this scheme presents a problem, because when using quantum encryption, it is not possible to know both your user name and password at the same time.
Not to mention the fact that someone keeps killing/bin/cat.
I wonder which vision was stolen first.. Sun's vision of this "anything anywhere" crap, or Microsoft's "we want to rule the world" that Sun is striving for.
This, of course, comes from the people who gave us "Java Server Pages". I wonder where they got the idea for that. Funny how Java Beans gives you the same functionality as ActiveX (except that it only really works with one language).
Don't forget, Sun was always "open standard, open standard! Let the best implementation win!" Now that have a successful product like Java, they don't want it to be open. They just want to pretend that it's open.
Don't just blindly follow Sun because they pick on Microsoft. They have warts, too.
Yes, you are right about the problem keeping track of where you are. We have a small group, so it isn't as big of a problem. We have 3 Sun's that we have to work on, and we just spawn 4 vnc's. Each of us uses the same vnc server on each machine so we don't stomp on each other. It's fine for 4 people, but it certainly doesn't scale well.
We really had to use VNC for one of the servers because it is on the other side of a firewall and the X clients couldn't connect to our PC's.
I have been using VNC (available for free at: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc).
Instead of doing X over the wire, it has its own protocol. You run Xvnc on the machine where you want to run your X clients. You then run the VNC viewer on your Windows machine and it connects to Xvnc. Xvnc runs as an X server on Unix & Linux. For example, when I run it on a Sun where the console has display:0, Xvnc runs as:1. You can run multiple instances of Xvnc, too.
VNC supports a lot of different clients, too. In addition to windows, it supports Windows CE, Mac (I think), Unix/Linux and Java (I know there are others, too).
Also, there is a vncserver for NT that works like Xvnc in that you can connect a viewer to it, so it's like using PC Anywhere.
Finally, you can put the vnc viewer into full-screen mode, so I can get the full 1024x768 desktop on my windows machine without having to scroll.
I can see it now.. Microsoft Eyeball. It will have special video synchronization code so all GUI's other than Windows appear scrambled.
It will work just like regular eyes, except you find you need to blink a lot more often. Sometimes everything will go blue for a second, but MS will blame Viagra.
On a more positive note, maybe MS will FINALLY have some vision.
So, GNU doesn't have to be called "XFree86/GNU" because it has "adopted" XFree86, yet Linux should be called "GNU/Linux" ? That seems like a pretty weak argument there.
