Heh. I simply clicked "I do not agree" using Galeon, with javascript and popups turned off. Guess what? I'm directed to their home page! So I guess I can still use their site, even if I don't agree with their EULA. Spiffy.
So, does running webmin via https provide the 'real' security that a normal w3 client provides? Ie: https://myserver:10000/ via mozilla provides 128-bit encryption. From the dangerinfo.com site, I've found that the hiptop *does* allow https:// URLs, but is the data from danger's servers to the hiptop just as secure?
The lack of an ssh client would mean that webmin would be the only 'secure' way to admin a unix-based server via the hiptop. Here's hoping for an ssh app! [and IMAP/SSL!].

UCI is also the home of WebDAV, as its author, Jim Whitehead, was a student there. It's pretty cool that UCI still maintains the WebDAV homepage on a UCI server:
While I do work at UCI, I'm in a different dept. and don't know much about the workings of resnet. I do feel sorry for the support folks there, though, as most of the hacked windows boxes and klez-infected PCs come from reshsg.uci.edu.
UCI is quite attentive to security issues, as soon NetBIOS blocking at the border router will go into effect. This will keep off campus crackers from trying to break into windows PCs that have windows file sharing turned on.
Now if only commercial ISPs could learn a bit from UCI's policy...
Hmmm...strange, it worked for me with Galeon 1.2.6. If you just upgraded Galeon, you'll need to reinstall Java. Or at least I had to [it's a plugin, which needs to be relinked upon upgrading galeon].
A few years ago we used CBT Systems courseware. It was 100% java based and accessible via the w3. Now they've been bought out by SkillSoft/Smartforce. The CBT courses covered everything from Word to Visual Basic to SQL to UNIX sysadmin'ing. There were even several Mac technology courses too.
They have demos online you might want to check out. More info is at:
Interestingly enough, the wayback machine does not archive old articles from news sites such as nytimes.com and ocregister.com. The news sites' robots.txt file blocks w3 caches like google's cache and the wayback machine.
As someone who spent 8 years as a programmer in a library, I too am confused by the double standard - we paid a small fee for NY Times microfiche/microfilm, but let our patrons view it for free.
That is basicly what some news sites do now: for a small fee, you can access their archives. However, because you, the payer of this service, are not considered a library, you aren't given rights to freely make available that which you pay for.
This is a case where the traditional ways to make archives available for free [via a library] will hopefully change to take advantage of the digital life we all live in now. Someone, wayback machine, google cache, etc, should be able to purchase archives of news articles for the express purpose of making them freely available to folks on the 'net.
This would be a great use for the Quake engines, as most of the cheaper 3D consumer architecture apps are old and use very basic 3D rendering.
Baring a Quake engine based app, I'd recommend the newest version of 3D Home Architect. It may not do exactly what he wants, though, as the user has to select couches, chairs, etc, from the program's own database. Also, you have to build your house/floorplan from the ground up before you can start virtually touring it.
Note that these are Windows-only solutions, but the poster didn't specify Linux only:
I've toyed around with a couple of these programs on a friend's PC, and they're not too bad. I'm impressed the company that brought us PrintShop for the VIC-20/C64 is still around and making money!
11MP isn't quite enough for 35mm pros doing non-newspaper/rag shots yet, but it is getting darn close. Once the 16MP range is hit, I think you'll see a lot of 35mm EOS-1's for sale, if the all important shutter lag and motordrives can be sped up [which is a pretty important factor for me; though the current EOS-1D is fast, it is still slower than the EOS-1V when it comes to shutter lag and motordrive speed].
This will help editors a lot more, as cropping digitial images will be more forgiving. The full-frame CCD is the best feature, IMO [besides the 11MP], as it means a 24mm lens is really a 24mm. That's my biggest problem with the EOS-1D: all EOS lens are 1.4x their lens length on a 35mm camera. Great for zoom lens; sucks for wide angle shots.
PHP doesn't run in 2.0 [as a lot of modules don't yet]. Apache 2.0 is more than just a simple upgrade to the 1.x series. There are a lot of compatibilty issues, which is probably why Mandrake doesn't include it in their 9.0 beta./vjl/

Sheesh.
Check the Java install FAQ entry.
Sorry 'bout that.
