I'm thinking some degree of x11 forwarding for simple applications.
In situations where you need to disconnect/reconnect, then I remember seeing something that when you're at the console logging in, you'd define what X11 screen you're connecting to, then run a vnc server on that X11 session. You'd be able to run dozens of servers on different sessions, then simply vnc to the one you want. Want that encrypted? ssh tunnel the vnc session.
Now what I'm curious about but have never tried is a combination of windows applications and wine with x11 forwarding over ssh to my mac.;)
I'd love to weird someone out sometime by running, say outlook over X11 forwarding making it look like a native windows application running locally.:D
I'm pretty sure it *can* be done, but I don't have an i386 *nix box set up running wine to play around with. It would also have to have enough horsepower to run it at a reasonable speed.
So long story short, combination ssh, x11, and vnc should get the job done. Throw in some wine for a little extra taste.
I'm pretty sure the 'preferred vendor list' reads more in the fine print 'vendors we're in kahoots with to pay minimally to workers who are desperate'.
The screwjob that HP has been pulling for years deserves what they are getting despite what the/. hivemind may think at the moment.
I don't know about Boise, but in Colorado Springs, it was BAD. Employement opportunities got to be really scarce, no one was going to walk away from their jobs.
HP simply abused the situation. Looks like in Boise they are continuing to abuse a similar situation. This is more the contracting agencies and HP collaborating to screw people over en masse for profit, using dubious contracting methods. I've worked in the situation, and it is certainly NOT as cut and dried as this article makes it out to be.
From experience with HP (Compaq at the time, probably what this facility once was), contractors are paid less, worked more, and given no benefits at all.
They get worked long term in order to avoid giving said benefits, and a small, SMALL minority will ever get changed to full time.
If you were in the situation, you'd know how bad it is. This isn't a cut and dried "you're contractor, so you abide by the contract", it's more, "the majority of our workforce is temp so we can treat them like crap and get away with it".
Of course the contracting companies play along and take their cut too. The whole thing, legal or not, deserves that someone get strung up.
My wife and I each spent a stint with Compaq (became HP while she still worked there) and they play this game all the time. They work everyone the same, but 'badge' employees actually get vacation, 401k, etc.
It wasn't right then, and if it's still going on, good for them for suing. I knew people that had worked there for YEARS and never got 'badged'. No vacation time (although you could occassionally get time off without pay) and rarely, if ever would you get any kind of incentive or pay increase. You'd also usually get let go without warning, and the contractors would play a game of saying that you're still employed with the contracting agency, thus not entitled to unemployment benefits (which, at least under Colorado law is not true. I managed to get benefits).
Tell me why you're not happy about this again? You could always run X11 and use KDE or Gnome or whatever. I personally feel that Aqua is worth every penny.
Perhaps, but then this story is older than you might think.
I remember reading about war-between-the-states (for some reason it's not PC to call it the Civil War? WTF?) era use of maggots, especially in situations where a soldier had a cast, and the flesh beneath the cast was itching.
Turns out, it was the dead or infected flesh that was causing the itching, and rather than having the soldier jamming objects down the cast trying to scratch the itch, and as a result disturb the wound, maggots would be inserted into the cast to eat the dead flesh, thus relieving the itching.
I'm sure it goes back further than this though. Anyone?
Domo == Short for 'thanks'. Expands to "Domo Arigato" Pronounced: Dough Moe Airy Gah Toe, in an even cadence with no accent on any syllable, all syllables get equal weight.
Kun == Usually suffixed to a male affection figure, but occassion to a elder female (I think? Or is a younger female...always get it confused). In fan-fiction it's almost exclusively used as a male thing.
I did too, except that would have been more like "Apple patents prompt speculation.", then suing the pants off of news sites every time someone speculates what they are up to too quickly.

You have to admit that my translation sits better. ;)
"Every time George Lucas re-releases a Star Wars movie, god kills a fanboy."
Actually, I'm looking at that again, and 'domo' is usually more like 'very'.
In otherwords, 'domo arigato' is very thanks, or rather, Thank you very much.
arigato alone is thanks.
So very male?
huh???
Just more bad slang?
