How's Skype for you in that respect? Can you share drawings and docs? How about eaves-drop safety?

Eavesdrop is easy in Skype. The company sells the backdoor:

Ok, I wouldn't worry too much about law enforcement dropping in since I don't do any illegal stuff. But the rumors about selling are concerning. Might be just rumors though. I am more concerned about schematics and stuff that get shared during discussions. Not sure whether and how that works though because there is only scant information on the Skype site, and it only lists webcam style video.

Brilliant!

Cue the Phil Allison jokes... :->

Dave.

yeah!

"Phil Allison jokes"? Isn't that an oxymoron?

If you have broadband, your ISP may have a NNTP news server included in your account:

There are two kinds of people on this earth: The crazy, and the insane. The first sign of insanity is denying that you're crazy.

No petal, your the cross posting Oxymoran, Still I expect Phil, will get to you in his own time.

So how did the new job go, as a traffic cone, it's a significant upgrade from a speed hump.

yeah!

Phil? He tried that years ago, and got as good as he gave.

Speed hump? What kind of drugs are you on, or are you talking about your production line hooker?

Blather all you want, then let me know when NASA puts your electronics on the ISS.

How did they made the wires and connection points for the parts? Looks like toasted bread.

Did you they did not show the LED wiring.

Did you notice that the 24 pin connector connects fro the bottom, but we do not get to see the where it comes from.

Old magicians trick, lets you see just enough but not too much.

Not that I really have anybody I need to call, but this Skype looks pretty interesting. So I went to their site, and they don't have a Slackware package and I didn't see any links to source where I can compile it here.

Anybody heard of either of those anywhere?

Thanks, Rich

What's slackware? Some kind of trousers?

Actually, I had first heard of Linux in the 1995 era, so I decided to try it. I was wondering which distro to d/l, and there were so many options, with attributes and stuff that I had no clue about, so I picked Slackware because I liked the name. Linux for slackers - what a perfect fit! ;-P

Mind you, it's not Aunt Tillie-Friendly at all - it's more of a techie's Linux. :-)

Cheers! Rich

I've wondered what the world would be like if a big rock had fallen out of the sky and impacted the Redmond campus during business hours ~April 1, 1995 (before W95 and just before Red Hat's release).

If that had happened, I suspect that Macs and Amigas would have been seen as much more viable contenders than Slackware. :-) (Well, maybe not Amigas... Commodore declared bankruptcy in 1994... :-( )

Probably IBM would then still be in that biz because there wouldn't have been Senor Gates eating their lunch.

That's one reason I can't use Linux. No time to become an OS expert. If I'd fiddle with all them distros and settings and gizmos it would be like Barney Fife and his gun.
