..because of the high encryption they use? I mean, the distributed.net team's focus was partially to show that we needed to up the limits on export regulations. People are obviously going to find some way around any 'weak' encryption method out there. The industry will push for more complicated encryption until it's so complex that they can't export it.
If the movie industry can't export their movies, we're gonna have an even bigger force pushing for less-strict export laws on encryption. Or am I missing something here?
Once the packets go from you to the router, you can attach the address of the router to the packet. The server then communicates with the router, letting the router keep track of the machine on it's local network, which knows who all the machines are.
I'm not sure this is how it goes, but this seems like the logical way to do it.
We get Guru-meditation screens on one of our local public access channels occasionally. It's rather amusing, and does a certain amount of heart-warming to think that not everyone is giving in.
If you want to spend bux, hit up HP and get OpenView. It'll monitor anything, anywhere, and HP will set it up for you. (for a premium, of course) You should be able to get a box and the software as a package deal.
If you want free, I've heard good things about MRTG, but I don't know how customizable it is.

With the -hq switch (high quality), it takes forever and a day, but has the best quality I've ever seen. You can also batch stuff up easily with DOS batch files, but it doesn't handle long file names, which can be a pain. Stick with 8.3, and l3enc is the best. You might have a little trouble finding it, though.. I think it's copyrighted or something. I still have my old (pre license) version, and it works great.
mmm.. I couldn't get it to run in Win95, sadly. Too bad it wasn't networkable. I spent many a late night emulating this in SoftWindows on my 25Mhz Quadra.
The ReflectionX package comes with a virtual display program like you are looking for. It has a little mini-viewer like fvwm95 does, but I think you can turn it off, and just change screens by moving the mouse.
We use Reflections here at work, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for something cheap. The X server it comes with is top-notch, and it also comes with many standard unix servers; ftp, ntp, ident, finger, lpd, tftp, httpd, etc..
It's not so much something to increase your efficiency, I think of it as a way to look much cooler while retaining a large amount of control. You could still use the 2d mouse to control this environment, and with a smart keyboard setup, I think it could be easy-to-use. A third dimension could be used to hold things with a perspective (a window running vi that is squished back, to where you can still kinda see what's in it).
You could deal with the FPS control issues by assigning simple key commands to navigating, if you would like. Since you aren't restricted to 'game' movement, you can instantly move anywhere, like "directly in front of netscape", or "3/4 perspective to the graphical representation of the root of the hard drive."
Again, it's not so much a productivity booster, but something usable that can still get the job done.
I was actually trying to plan making one of these as a project with some friends. Nothing fancy, of course, but it turned out to be a little more work than originally expected.
The original plan was to write a window manager for X, but that fell through once we decided that X couldn't perspective windows like we wanted.
The next step was just a standalone app, written in OpenGL, abstracted to hell and back, so individual OS backends could be written for the same GUI. For example, have a standard set of file operations (read directory, open file, seeks, deletes, etc) and have the app use these. Then just plug in the simple modules for your OS and architecture, and you're good to go. In this way, you could provide a standard set of 3d tools, like text editors and such, that were very portable.
It was also planned to be in a '3d environment', in which you could move around, blow up files, move stuff around, and generally play quake to manage your computer, along with assistance from a little droid.
All that would be needed was an OpenGL setup machine and a module for your OS.
If you post something on it, expect nothing less than it to get used in every way you don't expect. I'd like to know the exact point when this large billboard became commercially funded, thus giving corporations the right to dictate the use of the material they post. Anything past normal copyright infringements (which this story is not about) is bull-crap. If it's posted (note the word posted, like a concert advertisement being stapled to an eletrical pole) then you have no control of how people access it.
He *did* have backups. Didn't you read where Harvard was in the process of destroying all backups? The data would have been fine in the event of a simple server crash.
Seems to me that the type of people who do this sort of immature thing will skip right over the title of this article, in search of something to flame. For some of these people, I imagine it's fun to do this, and no amount of article writing will get them to stop. We need to call up their parents, and in the only way they'll understand, let them know that there *are* actual people on the other side.
What happened to the linux task force over at MS who were going to try to port Office to linux? That'd be good schtuff. I wouldn't personally use it, but it would nonetheless be available for those who would.
First they take down the little guys trying to make glide wrappers, and now this. I used to like 3dfx, but they need to get their act together. Do we have a link to this story?
For one, the modems are perfectly capable of reaching 56k speed. It's the phone lines that aren't doing the job. They shouldn't be suing 3com, if anyone.. 2, if I remember right, 9600 actually is the maximum physical transfer rate for modems. Everything else is just compression. Someone correct me if I'm wrong?
I find it amusing how we're fighting so hard against the media stereotyping 'crackers' as 'hackers', and Katz here just goes out and says the characters in the Matrix are hackers. I don't think so. Crackers all the way.
Heh.. Have you ever seen glquake run with software rendering? A friend of mine messed around with the dlls and got it going. It wasn't pretty. Something like 9 seconds per frame.. Granted, this was on a P133, but you get the idea.
Good idea.. or you could expand the idea of glass cielings to the other way around, with small camaras strategically placed in the room.. coming soon in cheap motels everywhere!
I got the impression that this was more like a wrestling mat type of material.. I was thinking along the lines of a curtain that could be rolled up. This mat stuff might be kinda cool for high school wrestling teams, though.. advertise while your school competes.
Well, yes it's being spread a little thin, but remember that Mindcraft said that they had no place to get tuning information. If there was one easy-to-remember site, even it is made up mostly of links to other tuning pages, it would help more than one obscure page with everything you need. Just a thought... you know how people like documentation to be easy to find =)

We (about 6 people) spend most of the day before our OS final doing this last quarter. Quite fun.

I thought this was announced near 2 months ago. Very spiffy news, anyhow.

Oh yeah, this is made by WRQ.

I'm still waiting for a roll-up display like the TV curtain in Back to the Future 2.
