We have our Console for Asterisk as our PA output here at our office. It is ghetto rigged, but it has been working a year. You can cut the end off a set of speakers (leave enough wire to work with though), then splice it onto a pair that runs to your PA (depending on the type of PA of course). Just adde the console to that call/conference/meetme/whatever, and you will be speaking on it.
If at multiple locations, just have an asterisk box at each location with a sound card and do the same.
We have 3 offices running Asterisk boxes for our softswitches. They all can dial each other's extensions directly, and we have all IAX2 traffic running over our IPSec tunnels... Its a no brainer. Besides the handsets, that is the only voip we use. We have never had problems with latency (and yes, we use diff ISPs at each location. One is Internet America [What a joke], another is a T1 from The Planet, and the last is dsl from Speakeasy). In over a year of this system being installed, we have never had a latency problem, even with the ipsec (We use Openbsd 3.6/3.7 for all our endpoints).
VNC can do this. You start the "Viewer" in listen mode (on your computer), and have the vnc server do a remote connection out to you from their computer. I have had to walk people through doing this when their router went poof @ one of our offices one day, and was able to get back in and redo the routing since I couldn't get it from the outside. Of course, it doesn't have a good way to wrap ssh around it, but nothing can be perfect.
We have a similar problem... 100gigs of email for 30 people, (60 mailboxes) in Exchange. We work for the government doing different things, involving many, many pictures of real estate. Most of those come from sub contractors in email, and its just archived there in exchange.
I wish I could come up with a better way to store it, but everything I have tried makes our owner throw a fit, so it goes back to the only part of the computer she knows how to work... Her email.
Right now we have a Filemaker 4 server and a Filemaker 6 server running two different databases. We decided that 6 was a big enough jump from 3 (which was what we had originally) and had features we wanted, but our last contract will only be for a few months (unless they keep extending it like they have the last year), so we didn't see a reason to upgrade all our remote databases (we use Filemaker on field inspectors to update data in our main server).
We push data from our FMP6 server to mysql every day. Just load the mysql ODBC driver (if you are using windows) or whatever is used on MacOS.
Your co-workers? What if you work at a small company where you are the only IT person? You can't form a strike then... they will just post on monster and get 3000000 resumes in about 3 hours to replace your butt
His picture. That is Jovan. He has this forehead that would blind the studio audience during filmings (and his computer people like me). The whole page reads the way he thinks of himself (after several years, I hope I would know that).
As I remember, Sony is breaking a EULA themself. I read somewhere in the Microsoft EULA for software development tools (I believe it was for DirectX), you are NOT allowed to hinder the multitasking (ALT-TAB) of Windows with any program you make with Microsoft's tools. I might be wrong, but this is how I read it.
So with such a big company breaking a EULA, why should the end-user be held to it?
EQEmu (An Everquest Emulator) was also having a problem with the encryption until our master coder (Go Quagmire!) Found out that it uses a default key if sent the right packets to the client. Since then, we are able to run with the latest client.
I have watched EQEmu grow over the last year, and this Wednesday, we should have our best release yet! We are going on 1 year of releases on Dec 4th, so why dont you download EQEMu and see what it is like to run your own server.

Sounds like you work for EA Games...

Dont forget also that the story says "downloading" when they aren't monitoring what you are downloading, only what you are seeding with bittorrent...
There is a difference here between downloading it and sharing it. I wish people would get stuff right on these stories.
It's almost like what SCO is doing with their lawsuits now...
