Average Joe can't even understand the concepts of window shading and virtual desktops.
Somehow I think this isn't really going to work out for Sun -- a 2D desktop is already complex enough for most people.. 3D will be impossible for them to use.
A bit of advice.. if you look around on Real's website you can still find Real Player 8.. it plays all the same stuff but it isn't as bloated and sucky and spyware-filled as RealOne.
This could be a nice alternative for those of us who still aren't able to get broadband (No DSL where I am and Rogers Cable never bothered to run cable to the last three houses. Guess where I am! GRR), without all the potential problems with broadband over power lines (signal leakage, interfering with ham radio).
It's not really bitmaps being flung around, either. X transfers the details of how to draw the window. The performance is passable on a 10mbit LAN, so it can't use too much bandwidth..
BTW, if remote X apps are used ONLY, it won't be a problem because all of the data will stay on the server and just the display will be seen on the client end..
For the blind person, the system should allow different types of authentication. So, for regular users it would use the biometrics; if a person had their account flagged so that the system knew they were blind it could ask them for a conventional password instead.
The burn victim would have to have his face rescanned, but after that I don't really see what difference it makes whether the face is disfigured from burns or not.
As far as I know most of the systems actually measure the temperature of the 'thumb', so that would make it a bit more difficult to fake (I'm not saying it would be hard, though).
I don't use Mozilla Mail so I don't know for sure, but I think this may have something to do with IMAP -- normally with IMAP all your mail is stored on the server (so the e-mail client usually shows your remote folder tree as a tree under the name of the server).
I would assume this is a place to store things locally.
Also, what does SCO have to do with the Debian Server compromise? those are two TOTALLY different subjects. You can't group them all in the same "bad news" categories! One has to do with security, the other with the corporate-world.
Yes, I can. Both give Linux a negative image to people that aren't as clued in about this sort of thing, which is were Linux needs the most support.
"However, the compromised system had both an IDS and a file integrity checker installed and we have a very detailed forensic trail of what happened once the box was breached, so we are reasonably confident that the portage tree stored on that box was unaffected."
IANAH (hacker), but isn't the first thing you do when you break into a system to 'fix' the logs?
How can they guarantee the tree hasn't been affected? Compare it with another copy?

This guy seems to be arguing against Solaris but somehow gets Debian into the mix?
Therefore, we should ban forks from planes.
Let's be realistic -- there's only so much you can do.
Sorry, Sorry.. RTFA, I know.. I see know that it DOES do network-transparency.
So what I am wondering is whether or not this new sound extension will work across the network?
Can I log into my machine from another and have the sound come with it?
This could be a serious step forward for projects like LTSP that rely on kludges to get network-transparency for sound..

Thank you for proving that the moderators are on crack and mod up anything that looks remotely like an intelligent comment/b.

You might be interested in this.. or this.
I believe you still need the patched agpgart w/ the precomplied binaries.
If your forefinger is compromised, have it use your middle instead.
If they take your whole hand off, have it switch to retina scanning.
If they take your eyes, have it switch to face recognition.
If they take your head, well, I don't think you'll need to be too concerned about how you will authenticate anymore ;).

It doesn't perform well, though.
Oh no! It's Slashdot!
The server puffs magic smoke
KA-BOOM!!! Server gone.

Damned if I'm going to pay $1 to $2 to play some average (i.e. Time Cop II) shooter..
Of course, then it will need one of those beeper things on it -- I'd end up losing my monitor half the time!
But wait! There's more!
For those of us in cooler climates (i.e. Ontario, Canada) AMD's processors also double nicely as space-heaters in the winter.
Well, you could always get a DirecTV dish (illegal) or a C-BAND dish (expensive, but programming is legally available)..
Adobe has even published details about how PDF works.
It's completely Jabberwocky..
