Togethersoft was (and still is) an amazing tool for roud-trip UML modelling in Java - you update the model, the code updates. You update the code, and the model updates. Never out of synch, and a pleasure to use. JBuilder soaked up TogetherSoft, and if it makes it into Eclipse, that would really fill the gap of good UML support in Eclipse.
Does nayone know a flavor or pre-packaged Linux distro that can serve up many user's login sessions over VNC?
Where the hell is my VNC Thinclient Tablet?

I walk into the school library filled with a row of Win2k machines, half of which are busted or have something wrong with an application or the fan is broken or whatever...
All I'm looking for is a LCD screen with a wireless card in it, 2 usb ports (1 for mouse 1 for keyboard), a power jack, and barely enough CPU memory and flash ROM to run VNC. A single applicaiton machine, I'm not even sure if an OS is required... VNC connects to a linux server in some back room that allows multiple remote logins with some nice openoffice installed on it...
Seems much, much cheaper to both buy and maintain than the rows of variously aged PCs.
I actually got really good help from MS when I contacted them about a Windows Update issue I was having with XP.... It shocked the hell out of me. Proactively following up with me, various ideas to solve the problem, it was great.
If this thing harvests the energy in wave power, then what happens... the waves behind it are smaller? Can't think of anything offhand that relies on waves to live/eat/etc, but I'm not a naturalist. Always a little wary of sucking energy out of the environment in new ways.
How hard do you think it would be to use a slashdot account, and before anything gets posted to the masses, crawl the initial webpage and start a torrent for the files.
Wouldn't be that hard. Slashdot likes bringing down sites, keeps this place infamous.
After reading the title of this article, I expected to slap the poster upside the head, you ALWAYS want to read articles that put your favorite groups in a bad light, ALWAYS know your enemy, and what your enemy thinks of you!
Then I read the article, and the poster was completely correct... what a load of poorly researched BS.
With MS dropping support of older operating systems (95, 98, NT) that run on slightly older hardware, it seems like that would be the perfect market for Linux. Ads of "Did you know Microsoft is Abandoning you?" and a suggestion that they can download this whiz-bang installer that replaces your OS with Linux, installs OpenOffice, a solid browser, and carries over most of your settings from things like your dial-up account? And oh by the way, it runs X% faster.
Not sure what LOE it would take to gather up the most common settings that would have the be carried over, as well as put together something that can scan your hard drive and categorize each program/file type as
Can run under an open-source equivalent
Backup/Printout first, nothing is known that can open these files ever again
Great for schools that get older hardware too. I'd love for something like that that I could pop into a few old boxes I have lying around!
It interests me how you have a hybrid solution - a P2P app that relies on server-based files to function.
I've noticed several ideas (and have a few of my own that I won't bore you with) for taking the last step, and making BitTorrent no longer rely on a torrent-aware server to function. I must assume there is some reason that you're not pursuing this direction, and was curious as to why.
How about the case where they cause you inconvenience, but you were causing them (or others) much more inconvenience by hosting a DOS worm or something similar?
At what point does the vigalante hacking become acceptable when fighting against Something Bad?
If this worm updated itself from a random group of computers that it had infected (say for exmple, yours), would you mind if they took control of your computer if it meant stopping the worm?

But it is very (5g I think?) un-free-as-in-beer.

Happy owner of a brand new Linksys wireless router. It gives the options of WPA-Pre shared(TKIP or AES), WPA-Radius, Radius, and WEP(64 or 128).
So which is good for now? Linksys help isn't very definitivie, and googling turns up a mishmash.

Anyone know if anything similar to this?

Anyone get a copy of the text of the call?
They wanted too much info from when I called to get on it.

Great for schools that get older hardware too. I'd love for something like that that I could pop into a few old boxes I have lying around!and I say "Dammit, where are all the pretty pictures."
Just curious if anyone knew of special types of images where the GIF compression will always win?
Everyone in this forum is saying "png is so great, you shouldn't get bigger files."... I believe, but is it always true?
Damn thats slow. Anyone git a bittorrent up for this?
Agreed... I know beans about security, and that was a damn fun read.
What popular open-source product do you think will be the next to have some dying company claim that it was stolen from them?
Seems to be a great thing to do... no consolidated company to fight back, and PLENTY of users to sue... sign me up!

Doesn't matter to me if they hacked into it or took control using perfectly legit means. My question to the forum still stands.
And I don't use IRC.
...now control the update page...
