Temporarily forgetting about IE for a moment, a feature like this would only really be useful to me if I had the option (in the configuration or what not) of having the multi-links open multiple tabs (or new windows for ie). Possibly give people a warning as to how many tabs would be opened and letting them cancel out if they wished. Just a thought.
I hate to burst his bubble about single sign on, but on my network we have single sign on to every service on the domain that you have permission to access once you have authenticated to the domain at your workstation, whether your workstation is windows or linux. Services are provided by windows, 4-5 different linux distros, and aix servers and are things like ftp, ssh, file sharing, concurrent versioning systems (not just cvs) and the like. This is accomplished with samba, ldap, nss, kerberos, sasl, ssh, proftpd, winbind, and possibly a few other pieces I'm forgetting at this moment. Unfortunately this was a pain to get it all working on both the windows and unix sides but it does work flawlessly. Well almost flawlessly - the windows boxes don't have ssh servers running.
I don't know what he means by single development environment but if he means an ide he can keep his little tools like the visual studio hack. Unix annd unix-like systems give you the ability to use your whole operating system as your development environment.
The LZW compression algorithm does not throw anything away. It basically counts the number of times a particular color is repeated. Thus the more of the same color you have horizontally the better the compression. LZW also compresses the image in a linear fashion (line by line) this means that color similarites in the vertical direction do not help much with the compression, They also don't hurt it much..
I don't want to put 2 agp cards in my computer. Even if I had 2 agp slots. Manufacturers are always seeming to think that 1 card is enough for everyone, so those of us that want/need multiple cards are usually screwed. It is pretty hard to find 2 pci graphics cards that will play nicely together and even if there were 2 agp slots I doubt it would be any easier to find 2 agp cards that would play together nicely. Fortunately I've found that an ati radeon multihead card in the agp slot works nicely with an nvidia geforce 4 in a pci slot. This gives me 3 monitors and makes life even better:)
What if you were to set the port knock up so that you had to connect from different known ipaddresses in the same knock sequence instead of just someone knocking from one? I would help a bit, kind of like the secure submarine communication system where you used the echoes created by the presence of the water to basically encrypt your message. Anyway just a thought.
Thanks for the info. I'll never use it, but thanks anyway. For the original parent a simple search on google for restarting linux services should provide all the information needed.
x's response is amazing in 2.6, at least for me. I basically had to retrain myself on using the mouse as it was so responsive I'd find myself on the other side of the screen before I knew it. But luckily it only took a few minutes ot get the right feeling for the mouse. Resizing, dragging, minimizing, maximizing and stuff are all much more responsive than any microsoft system I've ever been forced to use. I run multiple monitors off of one system and have one tied to a server in the back using xnest and the response is the same I'm getting from my local x. In fact when I move my mouse to that monitor it feels as if I'm sitting locally at the server in the back
Not sure what scm is, because I'm a computer engineer and no longer have to do windows:-), but restarting a service is fairly simple in linux and yes there is a gui to do it (at least in kde, not sure about gnome).
Ever tried using a text editor and a console with console driven compilers and debuggers? In unix that's all you really need. If you do this within an xwindows session you can turn your entire desktop into your ide. Try it, you'll get more done.

The glass has twice the volume as is necessary to contain the liquid. This might be advantageous to the prevention of spillage if said glass was to be used to transport the liguid. However a more efficient solution might be to produce the glass in the actual size necessary to contain the liquid and then utilize a lid to prevent spillage. In order to facilitate my provision of a clearer answer a requirements document will need to be written for the glass's containment of the liquid and provided to me when it has been completed and properly peer reviewed, at which time I will complete my analysis on the risk, benefits, and costs of both potential solutions
The data streams from the US governement owned weather satellites are free for use to the American public. No DMCA wories. You paid for it and they are not military satellites so you have the right to use it. However keep in mind that colorized photos available on other sites might be able to be copyrighted by the owners of those sites. Not sure though.
You have to remember these are weather satellites. An extreme high resolution image is not yet available, even with professional equipment. The GOES series satellite have a 1km per pixel resolution for the current GOES 8 and GOES 10 satellites. In about 10 years 10m or possibly 1m resolution satellites are going up. With the American Goes satellites it will not be possible to watch the irag decimation. They simply aren't in a place on the Earth where they can view it, and GOES 8 will probably being moving even further away in April. None of the GOES data is encrypted or delayed so an instantaneous feed is available, but keep in mind it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes for an image to be completed depending on the region of the earth being scanned. Also keep in mind that you'll need software that understands the GVAR format in order to see the data from the GOES satellites. I work with these satellites everyday, it is non-trivial without the right software to use the data.

The only real difference is the resolution and color you get. Newer cards give you a higher resolution at 24/32 bit color.
um yep, got it
oh yeah, those are 3 19" monitors so life is pretty good.

kde does indeed do this as well

It is not illegal in anyway to receive the data stream for the US government's weather satellites. I work with them everyday.

That would be because you are not coding X's replacement. Until you are willing to do that, please STFU.
