NX uses the X protocol with the living daylights compressed out of it and the vast majority of roundtrip queries locally cached out of existence. NX also includes conversion from at least RDP and VNC and is roughly twice as fast as "native" implementations of those protocols. The basic pattern is:
[Client][Proxy][Application]
"Application" might be an X application, X server, VNC server, RDP (Terminal Services) server and potentially others as well.
The sooner we get an education system which does not teach religion or political or patriotic based material the better.
The sooner we kick out the Atheists, Humanists, Spiritualists (e.g. Wicca, Hinduism and most other NewAge variants) and all forms of the Religious Right (the political Christians, Muslims and Jews) the better. All of those groups teach from an agenda, not from the facts. Anyone can learn to fit into an agenda, but the arbitrary nature of the thing destroys learning ability and true independence.

You wouldn't be able to squeeze past the Wikipedia to use the facility, and finding a nail that big would be interesting. Finding a piece of the shithouse structure that would take a nail that big would be even more interesting.
Besides which, it's dynamic. Pretty soon you wouldn't be able to find the shithouse under all of the updates.
Or perhaps you should be writing BSD/GNU/Linux, since a goodly share (possibly most: think about PostFix, Apache, SendMail, PostgreSQL, BIND, XFree86 and the zillion or so other most-used apps which are BSD-or-similar licenced) of the software in a distro uses a BSD-ish licence.
I'm personally a fan of the GPL, and licence all of my own creations under it by default, and do appreciate the GNU tools forming a significant part of a distro - but "GNU/Linux" is a ridiculous and cumbersome assertion.
Mind you, I'd find "BSD/Windows" or "GNU/ServicesForUnix" deeply amusing.
If by preinstalled unit sales, presumably sometime in the next four years.
If by distribution sales, probably next year or the year after.
If by legitimate installed base, Linux is probably well in the lead already.
If by total installed base including warez, probably next year or the year after.
If someone makes a virus that downloads a modified Debian and replaces MS-Windows, IIS and VBSCript with it without noticeably interrupting the services on the machine, about two weeks after that.
My main Linux site sees this: 2464 = 29.95% from Micro$oft Internet Exploder 2112 = 25.67% from Mozilla FireFox 1816 = 22.08% from Mozilla Traditional (ie, 47.75% for Gecko) 1077 = 13.09% from Konqueror 513 = 6.24% from assorted Search Engine Bots 159 = 1.93% from Opera 32 = 0.39% from Netscapeishes (ie Mozilla but not Gecko) 9 = 0.11% from Via anonymising proxy Everything else is sub 0.1%
The corresponding non-techie site sees this: 559 = 44.12% from Micro$oft Internet Exploder 332 = 26.20% from Mozilla Traditional 276 = 21.78% from Konqueror (this is artificially high over the last few days) 61 = 4.81% from Search Engine Bots 33 = 2.60% from Mozilla FireFox (ie 28.8% for Gecko) Everything else is sub 0.1%
Note that you'll need to delete probably 250 of the Konqueror hits for the second batch, because a couple of Konqueror users have been testing stuff (but about two dozen hits, circa 1.5%, are not from either of those), which will scale the other values up by roughly 1.2x, so 53%, 31%, 6.7% and 3.1% for the remainder.
Next time I get mod points (had a gap of about 5 days, spent a set yesterday), I'll email you. Tell me what to do with which posts (send links) and I'll vote for you. Not as satisfying, but better than zilch. Use leon at cyberknights com au rather than the address linked above, which has long since drowned in spam.
Using solar powersats eliminates the storage and most of the distribution problems (did you know you can run jetliners on beamed power? true story), reduces the cost of power and also reduces the enviro footprint from obvious and opaque solar arrays to more flexible and translucent rectenna arrays.
Each piece of serious space infrastructure you build (ISS isn't anything like serious) makes it easier to build other systems. For example, powersat construction provides a market for a space elevator and drives down the materials costs for everything but the ribbon - and transport up via the elevator drops the cost of a powersat considerably. Building a Moon-mine would also lower the cost of both powersats and elevator from a materials and technology, and of course the mine would be cheaper to start with prefab parts coming up an elevator and cheaper to build with powersats having already proven a lot of the technology.
We just need someone to bite the bullet and spend 0.1 Iraq Wars or Desert Storms to produce one piece, and the other pieces will happen. At the moment, the USA faces a dichotomy between a "liberal weiner" and a "right-wing nut-job", neither of whom will seriously back any such project.
...with fixed Apache config, my main site (Linux-centric) shows 53.3% Moz (incl FF), 26.2% MSIE, 12.6% Konq, 3.5% NS, 1.6% Opera, 0.9% Safari and the balance bots and singletons including two hits from an "Avant Browser".
Another non-techie site on the same machine shows 63.4% MSIE, 21.3% Moz, 6.5% NS and the balance in bots. Mind you, it does have a badge advocating Firefox and an IE-only message urging an upgrade of the visitor's browsing experience.
You'll never look back. It'll be a while before that version gets ported to MS-Windows, though. It does all of the calendaring, the contact management, yadda yadda, and the crap tarty HTML email, and lots of stuff Just Works.
Examples? You can look at headers (few, many, fancy, all). You have a real choice of quoting styles. If you paste "fred at nurk dot com" into an email slot (e.g. the "To:" header), you get fred@nurk.com. You can set various levels of paranoia for viewing HTML mail (to prevent beacon graphics or image exploits from working, forex). You can automate heaps of stuff (e.g. play sound when email survives spam filters and has "urgent" in the subject). You have serious spam filters under your fingers. Local or remote mailboxes with hundreds of thousands of messages in them are no problem. Locally, it uses standard mailbox or maildir formats (known to LookOut as "Eudora" format). Multiple identities and/or multiple accounts over multiple protocols are all no problem. It can just about brew good beer or coffee as well. (-:
Never let other sysadmins dick with your server settings.
Please double all of the above stats, so... MSIE gets 32.6%, Mozilla and buddies 37%, Konq 8.6% (just got a hit from Konq 3.3 too, welcome to the bleeding edge), bots 8%, Opera 1.2% plus aforementioned miscellanea.
Do you meta-moderate? I do occasionally. I don't know if it's connected, but I seem to get mod points about every 3-4 days on average, sometimes as often as daily.
Meta-moderating obsessively doesn't seem to produce any more or less mod-points than meta-moderating occasionally, but in light of/.'s other bistromathematics, I'm not sure if that means anything.

Both because of the software available under it and the precedents it set.

That is, every scrap launched by rockets from Earth. "Viable" means delivering power at better rates than solar does now.
