Build a virtual PC on Rackspace, whichever OS you wish, Fedora or Windows Server 2008 R2 among several others, and remote to it. A dollar a day buys you a whole lot of power, and you can buy it by the day.

He has been informed he will need 5% of members to agree for there to be a vote put forth. At the same time David Schlesinger (on the Gnome Advisory Board) has agreed on a vote. Stormy Peters claims she doesn’t agree with this but then gives everyone instructions on how to achieve this goal. She mentions that roughly 20 members are needed to agree.

StonyCreekBare writes: I am wondering what slashdotters have to offer on the idea of Linux based security systems, especially DVR software. I am aware of Zoneminder, but wonder what else is out there? Are there applications that will not only monitor video cameras, but motion sensors and contact closure alarms? What is state of the art in this area, and how do the various Linux platforms stack up in comparison to dedicated embedded solutions? Will these "play nice" with other software, such as Asterisk, and Misterhouse? Can one server host three or four services applications of this nature, assuming CPU/memory/disk resources are sufficient?

eball wrote just now of the Combined Community Codec Pack, and on a page on their site is the only set of API-level media player reviews I have ever found.

The reviews all start at the API level, and I hope that some more Windows developers out there start to work to the standards recommended; if they do, things will get much better.

Google is #1 in a terribly competitive market, utilizing conceivably the largest non-governmental single enterprise in existence, having kept a number of powerful old-school competitors at bay for quite a few years now. And it is OSS-based. And IBM is #1 in many unpublicized markets...and is also very OSS-oriented.
