Have you tried TokBox?
We have flash-based video chat, with an air desktop client (haven't tried that on Linux though). I use it all the time to talk to my parents back home.
(Disclaimer: I work there).
I'm an engineer at tokbox.com, and we aim to be super simple video chat. It's all in flash, which is often pre-installed. Flash supports most webcams and all browsers.
You can set up an account for yourself, and then give your parents a url tokbox.com/, which you can set as their default home page. Then there is an AIR based client if you want to leave running all the time on your end.
Fair point - I was talking about bonzai buddy creating more problems for us, but I agree with where you are coming from. imo just buy 1 matching shoes and belt, and then you never need to think about it.
no choices, no issues!
Bonzai Buddy causes IT more work, wearing matching belt and shoes also causes IT more work, it isn't the same.
In any case, I work at a startup in san francisco, wear sandals to work most days. Yea I don't work in a traditional corporation, but I think its a much healthier place to be. I don't have to worry what I wear or how I act, just that I produce awesome code as quickly as possible. Maybe you can't get far in a traditional company wearing sandals, but there are many other options.
The less I respect him. At first, I was reading something on how windows was alienating its developer base by switching api's (I think), and it sounded good, but there was an article recently about zealots killing linux, and now this, the less sense he seems to be making.
My systems professor told us that they chose to create a very complicated assembly language, that while may be efficient, makes programming un-nesceissarly difficult.
If people don't want to program on your platform, you have a problem.

(Off Camera) Let me just, I wanted to move to another subject, let me just clear this up, though. Do you or do you not believe that tears and sweat can transmit HIV?

It would be very hard. It would be very hard for tears and sweat, I mean, you can get virus in tears and sweat but in terms of the degree of infecting somebody, it would be very hard.
Maybe you can't but others certainly can, and if you are so inclined, you can learn.
Also the fact that code is open makes the authors more careful, i would think. If I am going to publish code with my name on it, I would hope it doesn't suck.
Closed source could have terrible code style and use all sorts of hacks, and no one would know. Or it could be perfectly written using Hungarian notation.
With OSS, if you have bad code, people who can read it, will, and tell others.
Besides, if you want, just do a search for printf and gets in the code -- you might find some bugs w/o having to write a thing.
Someone tried like over 500 different usernames to get into my pop server. Too bad for them I only have like 3 users one, none of which are first names. Freaked the hell out of me at first. I also get the usual root connections to ssh and test and unknown.
They don't bother me anymore, when I'm bored I send emails to netblock owners.
If a vigilante gets in, whats to say that someone more malicious hasn't? If anything it saves the expense of not losing data or being charged when the system is compromised by a more malicious attacker. Yes you must rebuild the sytem, but considering that the "attacker" told you the system was compromised, its not as critical a situation as one where you suddenly discover the host is compromised and must be taken down immeaditly.
Pad2Pad is relatively expensive as board fabs go. barebonespcb.com is much cheaper. It's really cool to have a real fabricated board though. Much better than breadboarding, and if you plan on keeping the circuit can be cheaper as breadboard run >$20.
Check out spamdam. It does that but forwards them your main account so you can disable addresses that are no longer useful. It has a nice web interface for managing aliases. I use it all the time and it's great. [/plug]
It is pretty important for a rover to know where it is. If you want any sort of autonomy, the rover is going to need to know its location. There is only so much you can glean from camera data. A rover would probably prefer sub 10 meter resolution as it paints a much better picture of exactly where it is
If a program crashes, its memory is corrupted so saving its state past a reboot wouldn't help. Assuming the system goes down, theres a chance that you might want to save some of the data but if it thats far gone, it might not be trustworthy.
Not at all, what is Pix? Software. It's not the medium of the firewall its the quality of the software. I'm sure my OpenBSD box outperforms many off the shelf "hardware" firewalls. Cisco boxes are expensive not only because of their hardware, but because of their software.
As for software firewalls, well those are trash so I won't even bother.
That depends entirely on what software you are talking about. All a hardware fireall is, is a firewall from a company that realized people won't pay $$ for a piece of software. I.e its a software firewall, just running on some different hardware.
I don't understand the constant comparison between computers and real world objects. You can do more with a computer than the real world, i.e. nest drawers. The constant focus on "real world" is more limiting than people not liking new innovations.
The encryption key issue is already covered by subpoena laws. Why should people pre-emptyively surrender their keys. Why should the government have access to my files without any suspiscion nor complaint of wrongdoing on my part. It's the "I haven't done anything so there is nothing to hide" part that is frightening. People don't mind having their rights taken because they feel that they have nothing to hide. But as this becomes precedent we lose more and more rights.

I'm pretty sure you can do this in X, just set up two different screens.

Nope, no one is trying it now as the servers are down for another hour. Tuesday is maitence day.

Gigabit ethernet most likely. I bet your $20 router doesn't do that.

Aye, I'ce seen many many smart media cards fail, I would never use them. My CF cards have been through the wash many a time without fail.

That's an excellent idea. Do you know of one such site? I'd being willing to donate for/buy such an ad.

Looks cool for applications such as hibernate.

The next one will. Not fission but thermal.
