lso please keep in mind that X11 is somewhat different than VNC.
I'm very aware of that (although I wasn't aware that VNC was multi-user capable on X). As you stated above, VNC & SSH are portable and small, and in a decent bandwidth environment there generally shouldn't be too much difference between X forwarding and VNC. Even tunneling VNC across SSH shouldn't be too bad (though what would I know, I use mutt so I can use CLI SSH).
However, you asked for a situation where a remote GUI might be useful: See my follow up . A lot depends on the application and what you're doing. If you're doing graphical interpretation of a large data set, forwarding the output makes more sense than forwarding the data.
Thinking about it, I just realised I flagged myself as someone who's been using Windows too much (or at least using single user machines). Using an X server means you can have multiple people accessing a single largish back end server, which isn't doable with VNC. For example - you're in a University/College course with a small number of terminals, but there's a Windows lab with network access. You've spent too much on cheap alcohol^W^Wtextbooks to afford a decent PC or net connection, so this way you can sidestep the cue for the terminals to do your work.
I was going to ask what the point was, given the number of Live CDs such as Knoppix, etc. Then I actually RTFA and they suggest it's for use in public access Windows boxes, where a reboot may not be available but running stuff from the CD is.
I still suspect VNC on a USB key or CD might be easier, and the difference between forwarding X and using VNC isn't that much in my experience.
it's some of the finest English writing of by a man that died way too soon.
If you're saying that I think you're saying, people who underrstand the Rules of Grammar concur. At least he went in an appropriately ironic way - heart attack at the gym.
So it took the US government 56 years to doctor up convincing documents to mask what really happened? I don't want to know how much they get charged for mil-spec tinfoil hats!
I suppose it's an easy way to squeeze another film out of the 'ring' marketing machines
Why do that when there are plenty of Tolkien authored works yet to be filmed - the Hobbit hasn't been done, at least not on the scale of LotR, some stories from the Silmarillion could be filmed if you were desperate, and there are umpteen "Unfinished Tales".
It's of more interest as an example of his inspiration, and it'd be interesting to see Tolkien's take on Beowulf. It's not going to be a massive seller to the general public, who probably have enough trouble getting through LotR, but for those who are interested it'll definitely be worth a look.
Don't assume that everything is marketing. While it's often the case, believing it of everything will make you as shallow as the advertisers who push that idea.
Speedstep uses ACPI modes. In XP (and from memory 2000) you can disable these, and it's easy enough to compile a kernel without ACPI support for/.'s favorite OS. That's if you can't simply disable the setting in BIOS, which is entirely possible - it's in other Dell BIOSes, but I couldn't find details of the SmartStep.
If you can't disable it in BIOS and it's a system default then you'll need to enable a customised ACPI interface. It's got to be doable - but I'm not a kernel hacker so couldn't tell you how.
But as any true audiophile will tell you cables are important. And it's really important you get the ones that are burnt in...
I'm still trying to work out how you do anything to a piece of of metal with negligible hysteresis.

It seems a lot more likely that life started in a more hospitable location and then gradually evolved
The trouble with that thinking is that as far as we can tell life started in a less hospitable location, and then the environment changed to make things nicer. As far as life we know about, most of the Earth is pretty much ideal.
The other problem is beasties in locations like black smokers on the sea floor. There's no way they could have survived a transit to that location, then evolved to meet the conditions - they're just too different. So the safe money is on life evolving at that location - or possibly it's evolved from an ancestor that the life we're more familiar with evolved away from, since very early life evolved while there was still considerable vulcanism.
That part of the law is severely broken. They hit the $25,000 cap after the first 500 spams per day. The bigger spammers send MILLIONS of spams per day. At 1 millions spams per day the fine is 2.5 cents per spam, and at 10 millions spams per day the fine is one-fourth of a cent.
IANAL, nor do I play on on/. . But I did notice that this is applicable to "any electronic mail service provider whose policy... is violated". Run your own mail server? Then you've got the right to seek civil damages. Unless you're getting in excess of 500 messages a day from a single source, you're not going to hit that cap. If the admin of every server the mail passed through sought damages the expenses mount up very quickly.
And realistically $25K a day is going to pay for a shitload of bandwidth in receiving that spam. Now I'm just waiting for the 1) Receive spam post....
Would that mean the leading pedal pounder would get a Green Jersey as opposed to a Yellow one?
Just for your info, the Green Jersey already exists. It's awarded to the rider with the most sprint points in The Tour de France .
But it's the mountain bikers who are the real tree huggers... Wham! (ouch...)
Yes, one person pedaling a bike doesn't create very much CO2, but they also don't create very much electricity.
Perhaps if wedid move to personal poewr generation along the lines of a pedal power generator, or a bank of solar cells on the roof, appliances might become more energy efficient?
I've got a 10W halogen globe rigged into a bike light . If I can ride a bike off road at 30km/h (~20mph) by this, I can read a book by it. But I tend to use the 100W incandescent in the lounge room, or the 50W halogen in my desk lamp, simply because that's what's easily available.
If I were truly green I'd swap all those high power globes for smaller ones and rewire the house to run off renewable resources, and use portable lamps closer to what I'm doing rather than a big "light the whole room" one. But that doesn't stop me from wondering why it's such common practice to throw gobs of power into basic tasks.
Hmm, are these perhaps the new Dell PowerEdge 2650s?... Just search groups.google.com for "PowerEdge 2650 Loud Fan" Go to Dell's support site and download the A04 firmware for the Embedded remote access device. Use the 3rd set of instructions, the ones where you use a TFTP server (the other ones don't work). Adjust the alarm thresholds, and voila - fans spinning at half speed, Server ticking over nicely, and I can walk past the server room without thinking I've got tinnitus.
Kind of a cute server once they shut up!
with superior sound quality to home burners and able to outwit anti-copying devices
OK, Apart from $5/burn (or a whole 30CDs before you've paid for that burner), HTF am I going to get better than 44KHz out of a CD?
The only interesting thing is that someone decided the copiers weren't illegal in and of themselves.

You should go over to Sweden then.
Dear god. Does this mean that the editors are actually going to edit? Next thing you know they'll start reading posts to make sure they aren't dupes.
RTFA... " Each of the clusters is based on Intel microprocessors and runs the Linux operating system."
I'm not seeing how it's all that revolutionary. Am I wrong in saying it's essentially a Beowulf connected by an optic network?
