..so we can become more like blimps. if e-mail and IM wasn't bad enough, now the blimp can go get McDonalds down the road, and bring it back to us in out fat asses sitting in a chair and NEVER getting up. Feels like the old x-men enemy MoJo.
What about the Guitar class or some bands at your school? Yeah, they may suck but you get A. Free Music, B. They get exposure, and C. it is just something "nifty" to do.
The other option would be my favorite;)

You may even be able to get permission from some of the old skool MOD authors at www.modarchive.com for their MODs
Another option may be to use a MIDI file with a real good sound bank.
Is this a web app? I am assuming so since you are talking about ActiveX.
Looks like your up a creek without a paddle. The only other option is dynamically created images into HTML pages. Possibly using some DHTML or such for some minor interactivity. If this is not acceptable, then you will simply have to be honest and state that it is nearly impossible to do this job without requiring the user to install SOMETHING. One good note however, is that I believe Microsoft is required to distrobute the SUN JVM (at some point, barring their usual delay tactics), instead of their own, but SUN now makes it so easy to install with 1 click, why is it such a pain? Just direct your users here: java.sun.com/getjava
one click, BAM (barring any rights or security issues)
...there are NUMEROUS plug-ins for ANT, JUnit console, editing macros, and even EMACS emulation. YOU should know what your are talking about before you open your fingers. JEdit is well one its way to being a fantastic programmers editor. The editor is EXACTLY the same on a MAC, Linux box (any type), or Windows. Just get the latest version and try for your self. It is especially snappy with the 1.4_01 jvm, and go to the plug-in manager and BAM, tons of stuff. Have fun!
Sheesh, cheap decent talking distance, and no reliance on anyone else (this is of course all if you are in range).
Heck! They even make small walkie talkies with 2-5 mile distances.
10-4 good buddy. We gonna do what they say can't be done.
You probably won't like this...
on
.NET or CORBA?

But to be quite honest, it is dufficult to give a proper recommendation without specifics.
Here are my recommendations.
Look into Java for you system, mainly since you are stating you need cross-platform compliance.
You could use Java's RMI for this Jav architecture, which is the second fastest distrubited call framework available, and second only to sockets...SOAP, DCOM, and CORBA are respectably slower, CORBA being the slowest of the bunch.
If you want to go the C/C++ route, use SOAP, which will allow you to be extensible and allow you to be crossplatform and ready for whatever your pointy haired boss wants to throw your way next week.
I do NOT fully understand your necessity for OpenGL, nor do I understand the GTK requirement so my suggestions may be invalid.
If you are looking for a cross-platform distributed application framework, again, look at SOAP and/or Java both are proven technologies.
I FIRMLY believe SOAP has pretty much made CORBA obsolete.
"Next thing you know, most of the Slashdot editors and programmers will be using Macs"..and the readers would rater spend $200 on a box from Wal-Mart running Ark, Debian, or Red Hat then a WAY OVERPRICED, incompatable with most applications, and propretary format.
I still cannot believe/. even carries a Mac section.
And I recommend doing it with the SDL lib. I would bet this would give you MUCH more of an understanding to all of the vector math needed to write you own engine.
After that you could easily port your software engine to hardware using OpenGL.
" What are these fucktards thinking???"..and no I am not kidding. Honest and open, forget about being PC or hurting anyones feelings, get out some good software.
I have found Vega Video and their light version to be the BEST editing system on Windows (excluding avid). We need to petition them to port it to Linux.
That sjust the problem, most laptops inlet fan for the processor is one the BOTTOM of the case. You can't wear sweats or anything else, let alone sit it on the bed to do any work. It had to be a hard surface.....sux @$$
But VirtualDub on a winders box could easily do this, you would simply have to script some stuff, and BAM...done...hmm.. while you're at it, you could TRY to port virtualdub to Linux;)
The only thing that I don't like is the steering wheel design. I am a casual driver that likes to "rest" 1 hand on top of the steering wheel when driving on the interstate, as do a lot of drivers, pretty much impossible with this one.
They would also need to cover up the lower portion of the car, for those midnight runs in your shorts.
Nielson is part of the problem. They use a system called the Beta-Binomial and many other formulas to determine actual numbers from theor small demographic. Part of the problem however, is that Nielson only pays roughly $10 for a person to become part of their survey. The general demo for Farscape is people that make roughly over $50k/year, those (us geelk generally), ususlly could care less about the $10 to take part in the survey, just like the telephone surveys...so...the demos usually reflect average lower-middle class and poor families who "generally" only care about Monday night football and WWE Raw.

I like their non-liberal bullshit slant on things.

wary nice...
It is as powerful as when I first used the mouse wheel. I now can't imagine computing without it in a GUI.
Should ISP's ultimately eat the costs of malicious behavior?
NO.. the same reason that they should care what passes THROUGH the network
Is the customer ultimately responsible for the bandwidth they've generated, regardless if it's desired or not?
YES.. see reason 1.
Is this a new frontier for insurance companies?
YES

First Post First Post, a hard drive I got to roast, cuz my brain is toast.
I was being sarcastic.
Not just burning at the stake. Why not crucify all the creationists as well.

To the backspace key. Well.. only if ya ain't got one of them new fangled ones. Works great.

I still cannot believe
UML.. User Mode Linux or Unified Modeling Language?
BSD.. Berkley Source Distrobution or Blue Screen of Death
sheesh
all we need now is Xylophone Medical Laproscopy, Super Qualatative Logon, and our hype acronym heaven will be complete! "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

All while being cross platform.

Aside from the garbage collector and foreward declarations..
...damn ...smells like Object Pascal (Delphi) to me..except with "{" instead of "begin"
1. interfaces instead of multiple inheritance
2. Cross platform (somewhat at the moment)
3. compiled and the ability to go down to assembly
4. use of try..finally and try..except exception handling.
