Use WebEx with Linux
WebEx allows you to control a computer's desktop over the network, even using proxies through firewalls. There is a possibility to use a free trial: http://www.webex.com.
Here is a description how to set up Java for use with WebEx.
SLES 11 x64
I could use WebEx under SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 x64 on 2010-12-14 with Firefox 3.6.12 and Java 1.6.0. Later on, after I applied the latest updates, I had to downgrade java to sr8. Here is all I did:
- open a console
- install java 1.6:
yast -i java-1_6_0-ibm
- downgrade java to sr8 as to be seen in the screenshot below:
- install the java plugin
- for every user (in this case root)
- make sure the Mozilla plugin directory exists: mkdir -p /root/.mozilla/plugins
- link the plugin from java to mozilla: ln -s /usr/lib64/jvm/java-1_6_0-ibm-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so /root/.mozilla/plugins/
- restart your firefox twice
- test if it works by surfing to about:plugins
SUSE Linux 11.4
You will have to uninstall icedtea-web and install Sun's Java plugin.
Debian
ln -s /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
Connie: Your absolutely right, that's Brad Dourif. He pyeald Gredma Wormtongue in The Two Towers, and Saavedro in Myst III.-Trekluver: It's good that it answered all your questions, that's what the books were released for. I haven't read BotA, or BotT recently, but I remember that they were really great books. And that's coming from somebody who has had every author I ever start reading eventually ending up on a best authors list. It was funny, I just picked these authors, loved them, and 5 of them end up on a best fantasy authors of all time list( don't remember by who). Robert Jordan, Stephen Donaldson, Tolken, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and.. (hmm, I can't remeber the other name).If you like the kind of epic tales in the Myst books, or if you like Fantasy in general, Those authors are a MUST read. Would also reccomend Jim Butcher, Brandon Sanderson, Orson Scott Card, and Simon Green.I read a lot of books (typically at least two a month) and I can tell you that these authors are extremely talented./end rant

You know the whole thing about Avatar's story as being done before is altaucly kind of a lame criticism. Yeah, similar stories have been told, so it's not like it broke any story telling barriers but let's face it, there are literally, what, a dozen or so (18, if I remember correctly) different types of stories in the world (by this I mean; man versus God, man versus nature, man versus man, etc.) Despite this there are still thousands of stories are in existence. Take Romeo and Juliette- that story is everywhere but with different characters, slightly different plots and slightly different endings. Guy likes girl, guy loses girl then maybe happy ending or maybe sad ending; depending on the writer, culture, moral lesson to be learned, etc. A handful of stories turned into thousands- the point here folks, is that it's not the story itself but the journey the reader/ watcher/ listener sees/ hears/imagines. And no, I'm not saying you have to like Avatar, you can hate it or love it as much as you want but don't hate it or love it JUST because of the story is like any other thing out there. There are after all some stories that don't click well for some people and by the same token there are some stories that click well with others.
