Don't you think that's one of the most important things the developer would put in?
Every remote control package I've ever used has had the ability to send Ctrl+Alt+Del to the connected machine by one way or another; menu, special key combo, etc...
We've got Radmin deployed on over 300 clients. It's stable, it's bloody fast, and (AFAICT) it's secure. In a domain environment you can set it up so that it will only allow members of a certain group to perform certain actions (view, control, telnet, file transfer, shutdown) and it's very granular.
Additionally, it repackages well into an MSI installer that you can roll out with Group Policy to your newly-formatted PCs.
Agreed, despite all the others bitching about "slashvertising" and "competition" and "how much do I have to pay to get my site advertised on here" and stuff.
Like another poster said, "it's news, it's for nerds, what's your problem?"
Skype enables people to talk from one machine to another and assists other people with setting up connections, i.e. for two (or more) people behind NATs, they will connect to you and then flow data directly to the callers.
Since when is this spyware? This is just clever computing. Cast your minds back to the days that, if you were running MSN Messenger and were behind a firewall, you couldn't receive files.
Now, you can, because of the way that they make the connections between clients.
Spyware means installing third-party software on your machine that monitors your browsing habits.
Two things, thicko:
1. No third-party software gets installed on your machine.
2. No third-party software gets installed on your machine.
Strictly speaking that's only one point, but I felt it was such a major point it needed saying twice.
Communication is great, as long as you know how to use it.
I think what the author of your parent message was getting at is that it is pointless to throw technology at people without teaching them how to use it. People that have never used laptops and Internet before wouldn't have a clue about what to do if something broken, or why you shouldn't open attachments from 5qh2iotigosd@aol.com as, even though they didn't order any prescription drugs, there's a really important document they have to read...
This "hi-tech solution" may greatly improve the quality of life for those people if they were given the means to learn how to do this themselves ("give them a well") instead of giving them technology ("give them a bucket of water").
Exercising for the sake of weight loss doesn't always work. I exercise to DDR. I do it because it gives me coordination, I like the music, it kills half an hour or so, and getting fit is an added bonus.
0.02-per-email (or US$0.05) is probably better. Like SMS messages, and they're inclusive, so if you send 1000 a month, then you're fine. If you send any more than 1000 a month (i.e. 1000 separate recipients) then you're probably doing some marketing (legitimate or otherwise), in which case you shouldn't be using a consumer mailserver, and they'll bill you bigtime or ask you to move over to another "tarriff".
There's more to the idea, but you get what I mean.
Slashdot Mirror
This popped up a year ago. When will Slashdot actually accept news that is up and current, rather than accepting old posts?

I highly recommend it.

Here here. From the United Kingdom to Poland with only 10 watts, a 22 foot vertical antenna and a lot of sunshine.
I disagree. I'm 21, been using a computer since 13, had no typing classes, am entirely self-taught, and can easily do 95 WPM with 99% accuracy.

Just because YOU can't do it, doesn't mean nobody else can.
There's a debate on this sort of thing over here, including An interesting read.
Jeez, the Internet has some sick stuff on it!

And come on -- insightful?!
"Nazis" does not have an apostrophe in, you insensitive clod.
No, the ISPs charge you, on the basis that they know your MAC address, so they know who the IP belongs to, etc, etc.
Obviously there are security concerns regarding MAC spoofing, etc, but then you only let registered MAC addresses send outbound email.
