With VNC, you must have access to your machine. If it's behind a corporate firewall that doesn't allow inbound connections (i.e., virtually all firewalls unless you personally control them), VNC isn't going to work in this scenario.
There is a way around this, I found it in an article at SecurityFocus.

The way around this is at the bottom of the page, but the whole article is good.
Why is using a scraper robot so different from, say, walking into Best Buy with a handheld and recording product pricing manually?
I read an article a year or so ago...can't remember where, maybe here, that Besty Buy and Circuit City do discourage this activity. The problem the article brought out is how do they tell the difference between comparing prices and people data mining?

Google has some ads (unobtrusive at that), but if MS was running a search engine, they can afford to have no paid links, and no annoying ads.
What I'm afraid of is MS makes a search engine with no paid links, and no ads, and eventually forces Google out. Then, when MS is the dominant force in search engines they start charging for placement ads, and paid links.
They just can't do that now because Google doesn't take bribes to skew results and that's why people use Google. MS would have no users coming to their use their search product.
Running late at work? Need to get dinner on the table? It is easy to warm up the iGrill from any internet connection. With a little advance planning, your meal can be ready when you get home!
If no ones home to cook obviously no ones there to put meat in the grill.
I don't think medical internships are paid. Most aren't I know that. When they start their residency they go on the teaching hospitals payroll. But not their intern time.

I don't do any downloading of mp3's at home or work. Yet I do have an external hard drive with about 2 gigs of music I take to work and listen to throughout the day. Alot more convenient than carting around all those cd's. I agree with the poster here. Just because you have digital music doesn't mean you have downloaded it at work.
The south pole, one of the most remote places in the world is getting a fiber optic connection? I live out in the country and the best I can hope for is a 32kbps connection on my v.92 modem. I always read about last mile possibilities but why are they tested in places that aren't last mile?
J
I think the main difference here is each person has to buy their own cd or song single or whatever. But to the consumers TV is offered as free. How can they prove they lost so much money with peer to peer when they don't even charge us for the show to begin with?
J
I am so tired of people deciding what I can and can't do. I want to go to the bathroom during TV I sure as hell should be able to. I want to take out the commercials of a show I taped? I should be able to. I know networks want the money for advertising but they provided the show for free, damn it I should be able to get the show no matter the means. They didn't encrypt the shows when it came over the TV.
How about if I got a TV Capture card like Dazzle or something and did an analog transfer from Tivo to my computer? That in no means is circumvention. That's the exact same thing going to VCR which they don't have a problem with now!
This is almost the same thing as not being allowed to watch non local channels on DirecTV. They don't provide local channels in my area yet the local providers won't approve me to get national satellite channels because they want me to see their commercials. I don't watch the commercials! They really think I want to watch some brain numbing, horrible acting, jingle spewing, 30 second commercial?
I could keep ranting but it's no use. The people reading this are probably people that agree with me to an extent. Maybe.
I'm not an apple user but I would be...If I could afford one. I can't justify shelling out $1600 for a new computer. Apple is charging for these upgrades to increase revenue. But why don't they, or can they, lower the price of their systems where more people could afford them? I believe Apple has a better product than MS and I wouldn't mind using OS X on a regular basis. But I need to be able to afford it. They also increase user base by making them available to more people. Then more people would buy their systems and they could continue to offer these upgrades for free which would be another boon to people wanting a Mac to begin with.
But I see no reason why alot of the themes and situations taken out of the book could have worked in the movie? I loved FOTR, it was close to the book and what they took out and put in made sense to me. But in this characters were changed so much. Faramir never tried to take the ring to Gondor in the book and by doing so in the movie completely changed the type of character he was.
There wasn't so much strife between Frodo and Sam either. I had always thought of their friendship in the book comparable to David and Jonathon in the Old Testament. For people that haven't read the book they won't understand but I always loved the theme of friendship and bonds in the book. Just like when Aragorn and Legolas traded words in Helms Deep preparing for battle. If there had been tension between them in the book then put it in the movie, but don't change the dynamic of the characters please.
One of the main reasons for me to see these was for the bonds of friendship and oaths, and the best parts of the book, the main themes of Tolkiens work as a whole has been disregarded.
There are a couple of different reasons that America might have a higher homicide rate. But maybe not...
Anyway, United Kingdom has a lot of cameras in public places. While I disapprove of this it might be a deterrent. How can you get away with the shooting if there are cameras trained on you at any given moment?
I think the judicial system might play a part in it. It's very easy to get off light in America nowadays. There's no repurcussions if you do get caught. You go to jail, get an education paid for by the taxpayers and network with worse people than you would on the street. So now we have educated criminals with better criminal contacts.
Why the cable companies aren't upset over a VCR. If the only reason is the commercial skip then that's unfounded. Alot of the newer VCR's are coming out with this. My Sony VCR is broke and I was shopping for a new one this past weekend in Best Buy and only the low end ones don't come with this feature.
I would think that cable companies would like this technology. For the longest time I wouldn't get satellite (I live too far out to get cable) because I would miss a lot of the shows I would get the satellite for in the first place. But I finally got a Tivo and now I don't mind paying the satellite fee since I don't miss the shows. Same thing with cable, if it was available in my area I wouldn't have got it until I could watch what I wanted.
I don't know if someone has pointed this out but it looks like video display terminal was used for a reason. That reason being ALL SCREENS. Not just CRT's and that obviously doesn't mean LCD's are going to cure or help you.
I know this part has been posted earlier but it is the sitting and staring.
OK. Last week there was a posting about MS Office going to XML formats so any office suite could open the Office document. So why would MS give away their OS to increase market share of the Office App when any Office Suite will work? They would have to keep their document formats proprietary.
I would love to get rid of my home Windows partition but I have to turn in electronic reports in.doc and.xls format. Now if MS goes to XML formats then it wouldn't matter that I used StarOffice, OpenOffice or what.
Anyway, my point is MS will not give away the OS to keep Office marketshare if their planning on making Office documents in XML format.
I've been looking for something exactly like this. But when I went to www.bn.com is says the book was published in 1999? As far as C++ has come in that time wouldn't this book be outdated? I just upgraded to Mandrake 9 that comes with gcc 3.2 so this book might not be Standard C++?
I would like to point out that I know this book is for Programming in general not specific to C++ but still if there were examples they could be wrong.
I was taxed by a company on eBay a couple of weeks ago and brought this subject up with a state investigator about these matters. Here's the rundown from what I understand.
A company doesn't have to charge you sales tax if they are located out of state. They CAN if they have an agreement with the state you are in if it's different from the state the company. Even if that company doesn't have a branch or whatever in your state. If the company does NOT charge you tax it's YOUR responsibility to go the the local department of whatever and tell them that you bought whatever item at whatever cost from whatever company and you will then pay the tax.
Obviously a lot of people do not follow this course. And most mail order companies don't charge tax because it's apparently a giant pain in the ass for them to keep track of it all. So they don't charge across the board.
So it looks to me that they aren't trying to tax something that's not taxed. They're trying to collect what's suppose to be.
When I think that states that were already formed tried this once before? They were already in control of the state government and wanted to separate. Then something called the Civil War happened, lots of people got killed, and they lost.

I do NOT agree with the court, but from a judicial stand point I think he's looking at the legality of one agency imposing rules that is not it's job.
I agree with the DNC List, but the judge is probably right that it should have come out of the FCC.
I know the government sucks when it comes to effiency but hopefully the FCC can just pick up and run with the FTC's program.

Good try. I just looked this book up on Amazon.com and this is the only review of the book posted. Great cut and past job.
