I've been using LogMeIn for both Mac and Windows machines and have had zero problems. Works through corporate firewalls and very little to setup and maintain. There is a free option, as well as paid options which give you more functionality.

Actually yes, I do always carry my wallet with me.

I have to agree. It sounds like you're trying to reinvent the wheel when the problem can be solved by simply carrying your cell phone with you. It's not like it's a 50lb weight strapped to your back.

Best to get your facts straight. My m1330 comes with a grounded 3-prong plug and I suspect mine isn't the only one.

OpenRank is an open source project to create a better ranking algorithm/process. A processes that can not only be used for searching webpages, but for any other item, in a multi consumer-producer environment such as the internet.

The power that a search engine has by being the gatekeeper to the internet is too important to be hidden away and controlled by a small group of multi billion $ companies. This is why OpenRank is important

Processes such as PageRank used by Google to measure how relevant a website will be to you based on the number of links to that site are fundamentally flawed. The importance given to factors influencing a webpage are no user specific

OpenRank attempts to:

Make this process available to all.

Taylor the search results to the taste of the user.

Be completely open for developers, content creators, people searching, everyone...

OpenRank needs your help to make it possible. The project needs all people — there are many ways to producing a great search and many skill sets are needed.

If you have ideas about

How searching for or ranking of webpages, photos, music, books, etc could be better

The result is that if you drag a cylinder fast enough, the fluid gets ripped into several parts, with separate surfaces, which take as long as a few hours to close up.
Nice photos of the experiment are provided for the sake of curiosity."
