I've used GoTo Meeting and also setup custom VNC servers to do the same thing with skype for voice or IM chat along with it. VNC works pretty seamlessly in mac and ubuntu.

I agree with the other poster regarding "enterprise culture". Also, boilerplate code is not risky code and doesn't take a lot of time to generate.

I have never found the act of typing code to be the big time sink. The big problem is devising the algorithm for what you are doing, properly selecting libraries and understanding how maintainable the approach you are using is (patterns). M

Yes, I feel that everyone should learn these things. Why not? It's like two weeks of work at most to understand basically what is going on in hardware. I'm pretty sure they teach these things in high school or even grade school these days.

I'm deliberating lumping basic hardware and software literacy together. Everybody should understand the relationship between secondary storage, ram and the CPU. Everybody should understand that a computer program takes pieces of data in RA

this grammar error always amuses me - people that say I could care less generally not only could but SHOULD care less...

I really hope these issues have not persisted into 2009. I think basic computer literacy up to introductory programming is equivalent to literacy of the written word : not difficult, but revolutionary and absolutely necessary.

Elastic IPs are about having the same functionality as static IPs, every instance has an IP per the previous link I posted. Every time you connect a new network device to any typical network, it gets an IP. I'm not sure how that relates to

Why don't you make a small contribution to a larger project, perhaps a widget for the ubuntu UI or a plugin for pidgin or gimp?

I'm really having trouble with this. My understanding is EC2 provides an internal and external IP for each instance : http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonEC2/dg/2007-01-19/in... as well as a semi-friendly DNS name. Each of these machi

I agree that it is difficult and I have been there myself. The thing is - if it's a typical work relationship, it's theirs to do with as they wish, even if you built it. That is the difficulty of doing creative work for hire. I think it is

Most companies are about making money and most jobs offer very little ownership. They're hiring you to get something done on THEIR project. When we get emotionally invested, I think it is typical to want to see things done our way. If it's

My point was just in questioning a $4/million figure using a 0.10/hr instance. Why don't you run benchmarks against a reserved high CPU instance for 100M pages crawled? I was never contending that you cannot offer cost savings over custom c

ranting and anger are never appropriate in the workplace. They have a job that needs to get done and money they are willing to pay, either you can get that money or you can't. Don't get so involved in a job, save the emotional energy for yo

They're inflating the cost difference. Cloud : $0.10 / CPU-hour for "large scale" crawling. There's no reason to use a small, unreserved EC2 instance for large scale anything? I have a small reserved instance I use for git and bugzilla and

This project seems shockingly ambitious. I think anything that you get, you will have to write quite a bit of manual stuff for your specific use cases. I think quite a lot of work has gone into the Netflix Prize and the discussion of this h

As other posters have said, it's a genuinely hard problem that touches on natural language quantification. You can find an excellent resource on the relationship between english words here http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ . You could manually

I'm not really clear what you are trying to do with these models, but agent based modeling may be related : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent-based_model This may be a useless comment, but I would also recommend you focus on the software

What is an object, anyway? An object is a piece of data in memory, a set of fields and a set of pointers to other pieces of data. It's a live object in a small, closed world that is consuming a portion of a finite amount of resources. Consi

Of particular note in the outdated camp is that Java completely overhauled concurrency in 1.5 http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/concurrent... and they're using all of Java 1.1...

Agree with the majority of negative comments here. I think this is also a noisy signal for a couple other reasons. If the random topic is in some group's area of expertise, they're going to destroy the demo even if they are not the most fit

So, the contents of the usb are public and thus need to be encrypted, why not trade IP addresses for FTP servers on Tor?
