    Auditable screen sharing/chat?

    I'm trying to integrate a few offices, and everyone is screaming for some sort of distance collaboration software that includes whiteboarding, screen sharing, possibly video/audio. Skype/netmeeting are the obvious solutions, but I'm also in an extremely regulated environment where we need to...

    graphics guru help? Vectorize this?

    So I've got Illustrator but have very little experience with it, and had an idea to put a Grampa Simpson 'Fightin' Hellfish' sticker on my newly painted race car. Unfortunately the best image I could find online is a little lower resolution that I'd like, and thought since it's a cartoon it...

    DNS server on AIX causing weird pause for linux clients

    So I'll spare you the big messy details of this benchmark topology I have set up, but an interesting issue has cropped up and I'm wondering if you guys here might have some ideas. Even some new ideas on debugging would be interesting. I'm using BIND to distribute my workload via round-robin...

    Buddy spun out at the track this weekend. Video so he can never live it down.

    Group of friends went to the Mid-America Motorsports Complex in Iowa last weekend for a track event. I feel it's my duty as a friend to make sure as many people as possible are aware of the only real driving mishap I've ever seen him make. Luckily this is also the one I have on tape. Spin is...

    So I'm trying to get a VERY high throughput benchmark going and we're eating through bandwidth like it's going out of style on our LAN. Trying to figure out a network topology that maximizes the number of Gb links into my cluster so the load drivers have as much room as possible, but I'm...

    Just Curious.. multi session ssh program that remembers state?

    It's been something in the back of my head for a long time, so I figured I'd see if anyone else knows of a program that solves this problem. I manage a few clusters of Linux/AIX servers and use telnet/ssh primarily from windows in order to manage them. Currently I use Putty as it's a nice free...

    [HELP] Best B&M available digital camera for ~$250?

    I'm deferring to those in the know here in trying to find the nicest $250 digital still camera that might be avialable locally at a store I can pick up today. Long story short, I got married on Saturday and had one lined up as a gift so didn't bother buying one to take on the honeymoon. That...
