You can also use Fring on Android to make Skype VoIP calls for free.

Because underage children are known for their acute sense of morality and appropriateness and do not need guidance of their elders at all. I think you need to look up what school is actually for.

A school has a duty of care to students, part of this is monitoring their internet communication to ensure nothing is happening which could potentially be of harm to the student. Perhaps this is overkill for college students but it's definitely required for younger children.

Either you misunderstand the question, or the OP misunderstands the capabilities of the X root window and display limitations.

Anyway, I ran like this for a long time, first with two monitors then with three. I tried several solutions and ended up writing an ugly hack for some X library which allowed me to specify viewports in a config file. Eventually that broke due to changes to multiple monitor code further upstream, so I ditched my two 17" screens and got a better videocard and a massive 24" LCD - problem solved.

I haven't experienced multiple monitors on ATI under Linux, but at least with nVidia's pathetic dedication to the platform (and insultingly stubborn tech support) it was a painful experience and I wouldn't recommend trying.

What rubbish.

Handwriting science is about pressures applied through the stroke of the letter and the directions those strokes come from as a person moves their hand and holds a writing implement a certain way. The shape of a signature is easily copied and has been used by school children to forge absent notes from their parents since forever, how the signature is written is something largely unique to the individual's hand.

If one wishes a "cursive-style" signature there is no formal education required to form a few letters without lifting your pen. For your purposes of producing a unique mark, it's arguably better for a person to do this with no prior training, as they will not conform to the same guidelines as everyone else does. What seems like a natural joining stroke to you may be odd to me and vice versa.

Speed of cursive vs printing is arguable, and handwriting (mine anyway) is always more legible afterwards if I print. Taking notes down fast is useless if you can't read them afterwards.

Have your lawyer write up a legal letter which says that for any confidentiality-bound practice like lawyers or doctors, you recommend they do not use Google Apps as they are likely in breach of their own privacy-related responsibilities. Have the end user sign the document before you will do business with them. If they won't, then walk.

That way, when they get busted to the tune of millions of dollars for the sake of a couple of hundred bucks of office software, you can't take the fall.

Unsurprisingly, the answer to managing many documents is to use a document management system. There are several commercial and free products available, both linked here and on the Wikipedia page for Document Management Systems.

I've worked next to the team who administered Bentley ProjectWise in a previous engineering job, which is expensive but definitely suited to your task. There may be other good options out there.

I cannot BELIEVE you are getting modded down for this. Best post on Slashdot, evar.

> Besides...getting it off the newsgroups is less traceable.

It sure is! You only have to sign up for a binary newsgroup service, supplying them your credit card info and identity details.

OR, intentionally getting a new girlfriend with the same name as the last one ;)

But they're anti-Microsoft jokes, it's my duty as a Slashdotter to mod them from +5 to over 9000!

Goddamnit, I never have mod points when there are good comments!

Awesome, now they'll have more content than ever to mark as "not notable" and delete!

I live 15 minutes walk from work, and I still want more hours in the day. I used to live a 3 hour round commute away, no idea how I managed that for 9 months!

I've worked with people who did 4/40 work schedules, and said it was great.

I'm a big personal fan of the 4-day working week. An extra hour every day for an entire day off? I'd love the 9/80 option at my workplace!
