Back in the past PC Anywhere was the first choice for every remote technician. Than came similar software such as Remotely Anywhere that are easier to use and can doesn't require software to be installed in order to remote control (they have used a static HTML image map in addition to their Java Applet client). Later, services such as Microsoft Remote Assistant, Skype screen sharing (read only), logmein and TeamViewer started to provide easy access to remote machines, sometimes by proxing requests in order to make it just work without configuring port forwarding on the two sides or manually submitting IP addresses. I've not used logmein too much, because I prefer not to work remotely on Windows computers or Windows at all, but I am not sure if the sunset on logmein free service is bad after all. Soon we will see different products and better technologies (HTML5 WebRTC anyone?), and I've not seen too much innovation in logmein in the recent years. The usage of new technologies will advance us more to the moment we could host a service similar to logmein on our own servers and provide similar service to our own or to technicians in our area.

Because we should keep the SQL injection for the next release, and XSS to the one after.

Let's see who doesn't filter this character, so it may break some systems.

I still remember the days we had document processing programs running it text mode and the text color was an hint about the decoration the text would have when printing instead of allowing to print text in colors, which is not what you'd expect from such programs today There is no problem to have side by side document processing software, so one the left you'd continue to type in Markdown (or any other text markup language of your choice) and live preview on the other side of the screen, but I am not sure if most people would find it useful and easy to use. Most people prefer software like Microsoft Word or LibreOffice/OpenOffice Writer, and will never understand why others (we?) ever prefer to code documents instead of write them. Instead of using markup, I'd suggest to use LibreOffice but configure hotkeys for everything so we could write documents without leaving the keyboard and using the mouse or trackpad.

Agree.

I am not sure if Bitbucket haven't just copied some of the functionality of Github.

Markdown is gaining popularity again thanks to the environment and community around GitHub. That said, I afraid that most people still would prefer wysiwyg systems, as it easier to use than 'feel like a programmer' when using weird codes such as HTML, MarkDown, bbcodes, MediaWiki etc.

And What with the English Oxford usage for the "Googling" and "Gogleable" terms? Have Google already demanded them to remove it as well? Last time I checked it was still there. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/google?q=Googling

In fact, open sourcing voting tools will push them into active development and maintenance mode, as other countries could opt-in to use these tools by themselves, and it could also help to push forward democracy around the world.

rdesktop is old and outdated, but the basic features work well with recent versions of Windows, including redirecting sound and disks and automatic logon. The problem is with new features and bugs that never got fixed.

Now we just need someone to update rdesktop to make use of the new Remote Desktop features of Windows Vista.

Am I the last person on Earth that still believe that OSX and Windows are not meant for use as a server?

Isn't that the same company that never considered ActiveX as an harmful technology even that it used most of the times to attack users who left IE ActiveX features turned on?

If they won't fill the government demand to host google.kz inside Kazakhstan, will they lose the their google.kz domain? Because it might worth few bucks to typically host the site in a server farm located in Kazakhstan and than redirect everyone to the international site. This way, they won't lose their domain and will fill the government demands.

Thanks Microsoft for not pushing Silverlight plugin to every Windows box and enabling it on both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Thanks YOU for creating Operating Systems not controlled by Microsoft (such as Linux).
