Serves Sony right for bullying us into giving up Linux on our PS3! I'm sure this would have eventually have happened but it makes me smile that it happened so soon after they specifically took away the Other OS option to avoid their console getting hacked. Talk about bad karma.
Um_atrain is correct Ultra VNC is exactly what you are looking for. It is exactly designed for what you are trying to do, I've personally seen it go right through a router with no port forwarding.
I totally agree with you. This article did not explain how bee's fly in any way. I'm curious if they really did explain it but the author of the article just didn't bother to report on that small tidbit of information. (Even though thats what the entire article was about) This article rather irritates me.
