Anyone out there using xdmx?

I have been trying to get it working for a little while now, and so far all I've got is all of my screens blacking out and giving me the x shaped cursor. It feels like the cursor is going over to the client machines monitor, but I can't actually see it. Nothing responds after this - I had to hard reboot to recover from it.
I installed xorg-server-xdmx from the repos and was just following the examples on the manpage. I understand at one point Xorg needed to be compiled with the --enable-dmx flag, but when I copied it over from the abs, that flag is already in the PKGBUILD so I'm assuming dmx is enabled by default in Xorg now?
There's very, very little documentation on this that isn't really old -tbh I'm starting to wonder if anyone has used it in the last few years at all
Anyway, if anyone is using this, please let me know how you have it set up so I have something to go off of other than 5 year old ubuntu forum threads

After some research and reading about Xservers, i solved some of my Problems. Slim passes by default the `-nolisten tcp`-Argument to the Xserver, that's why i don't get any Connection to a display, cause no Xserver listening on tcp. Solved. So far.
To run the Xdmx on my Control i'm using a little Script thats looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
startx `which slim` -- /usr/bin/Xdmx :1 -display :0 -display 192.168.78.208:0 -ignorebadfontpaths +xinerama
Im running it on Runlevel 5 when logged in into my Xfce4-Session. The Output can be found here.
Short Explanation: The first 3 Lines are caused by disabling the ipv6 alias in modprobe. The last 3 Lines comes from the `kill -9` (i found no other way to shutdown Xdmx :x ). My Desktopscreen is 1920*1080, Laptop 1376*768 on ip 192.168.78.208, both with 24bit depth. But im not sure why Xdmx output the hole Color-thing there. Any Problem with it?
To me, the Xdmx seems to run without errors. But how to "use" it.
I still see the one with Xfce4 and cant move my mouse over the edges of my monitor to the other Screen. Running Wireshark in background i can see that they communicate, but not very much, about 4-6 packages per minute.
Any Suggestions?

EDIT: i just recognized that it doesn't matter what Displaynumber i give for my Laptop, even with a :5 he dont give me any error. So it seems these Color-things are an error preventing Xdmx from working.

Anyone out there using Jet Exclusive?

I'm using JDK1.3.1_02, so the installer seems like doesn't accept my jdk version. Is there anyway to let me use this jet compiler without changing my jdk version?
Or other recommended native code compiler? I know there's some out there but I wouldn' want to spend my time downloading all and try it out, so might be grateful if anyone out there share their experiences using the compilers.

the latest version of jet support all jdk version.you can download it!

Anyone out there use/own an AirStash?

http://www.airstash.com/presskit/AirStash_Copy.pdf
Thinking about getting one. Seems like (If I read it correctly) I can store all my movies on CF cards and stream them without being near a WiFi access point?

I am using something similar to Air Stash. In fact, probably most modern Android phone can do this as well with ease. So far, I have a HTML media server running, FTP and WebDAV serving all working on my eLocity A7 Android tablet running Froyo. There are a number of advantages though doing this.
First, the tablet has a super fast Tegra 2 Dual Core processor running, so my FTP server running on the eLocity serves files really really quick, like up 2000Kb/s using ezSharePro running on both my iPhone and iPad. When I saw the Air Stash working a while back, it was lagging a bit compared to my tablet. And yes just like Air Stash, you can load up any movies (must be in H.264 format though cause that's the only format iOS devices can play) and music from your SD cards, browse PDF, Word docs using Good Reader (it supports WebDAV and FTP serving natively) and a WebDAV server so you can save your files from Pages, Numbers and Keynote! Best of all, since the files saved are on the SD card, you can instantly share it with your coworkers or clients without having to sync using iTunes or email it.
Part of the reason I skipped Air Stash (was close to buying it) was because it retailed $99 (was $89 black friday special), but I can get an eLocity A7 for $299. The A7 can browse flash pages with ease, watch Hulu like your desktop. I figured for another $200, I get Air Stash PLUS a flash capable tablet.
My setup also allows serving of Compact Flash cards or other special media cards since I have a multi-format card reader which can be attached to the eLocity.
However, Air Stash by itself is a very useful device especially with its built-in WIFI AP (Access Point). I played with one and now I have one better! The latest firmware for the Air Stash will support WebDAV.
Hope this helps.

Anyone out there using InCopy/InDesign with Russian language editions?

Just trying to get a feel for whether this all works the same in other languages? Anyone with experience in such workflows?
Thanks!

Theoretically, it's all the same application. You can even see for yourself how it looks -- http://indesignsecrets.com/change-indesigns-ui-language-with-free-app.php shows how to switch the UI language for the Mac. (I don't know if there is a similar procedure for Windows, though.)
There are a few tiny differences over the different localized versions, but they mainly have to do with making everything fit into the dialogs. As far as the workflow concerns, there ought to be no difference at all.

Anyone out there using InCopy with Russian language editions?

We produce several reports in four languages, and most in English and Russian. Does anyone have any experience of multilingual workflows? Any font issues? Mac/PC compatibility?
Grateful for any thoughts. Thanks.

Right. I saw this thread and I thought I did right, but perhaps not.
The conclusion as I understood it was to give filenames of more than 26 characters with all lowercase ASCII characters. I did this, so I thought I got past this problem. Perhaps not.
Do you mean in the Finder to go through and manually type in a file name and then relink in INDD? (not sure how I would relink if I don't know what file goes with what story). It sounds like a lot of work, but worth it if it saves me days of work.
BTW the software is ME version, but the files are not right to left language files. They are, however, German, French Italian and Spanish (and English) User Manuals, so AM's non-ascii suspicion is reasonable.
Waiting till after the weekend.
Thanks folks for helping.

Anyone out there using mediacom SMTP?

I had this working several weeks ago, but then had to completely wipe the phone clean due to an iTunes melt down. I know I have all of my settings entered correctly and Mediacom tech support has given me the outgoing server number (supposedly 25) and recommended turning ssl off. Incoming mail works fine. If you are successfully using a mediacom smtp server, let me know.

You will have to use 3rd party software, iTunes won't run on 98.

Anyone out there using Oracle Apps for Non Profit Organizations

Can anyone tell me what I need to get started to "market" quarterly guest speakers and an annual forum with 8 keynote speakers and other speakers and workshops, all as a non profit business.
It is non profit 301(c)education - we pay for the travel and accommodation expenses of the speaker/presenters of researcher/scientists, researcher professionals to present their research findings, and pay for the forum coordinator and all other pertinent "business" expenses.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

You have to buy the DVD for 10.6. It's not available for download like 10.7.or 10.8. The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
System Requirements for 10.6:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.

I'd suggest being more specific. What do you mean by "it seems to have thrown windows out of the system?" The Windows virtual machines should still be in the Virtual Machines folder in your documents folder. Are they there? What version of Fusion have you updated from and to?
You might also consider raising your question in the VMware Fusion forum: http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/desktop/fusion?view=discussions&sta rt=0.

HT1711 When I try to play a song on I-Tunes I receive the Message "The Song can not be used because original can not be found" Can anyone out there help me with this?

The iTunes application saves your iTunes Store purchases--as well as any music, audiobooks, or videos you import--to your computer's hard disk, not the iTunes application itself.
The error message you note indicates that the purchase in question can’t be located where it is stored in your iTunes Music folder in order to play it, and may have been moved or deleted.
You will need to help iTunes locate the file. Follow the steps in this article:

The other Allan is being facetious--you somehow found the forum for pre-2006 eMac desktop computers that gets little traffic.
Getting you moved to the iPhone forums.

Is anyone out there finding OSX Lion a disappointment compared to previous Mac OS? After nearly 20 yrs of using and enthusing about AppleMac, I am suddenly not enthused. What am I missing?

You're not heavy on specifics on what you don't like.
Most people have little technical expertise but are wanting more and more, requiring more complex computers, ideally ending up with one from Star Trek where you basically don't have to know anything how to really use a computer and it just provides you with the exact answer you need to a not particularly well-phrased query. If you're missing things like configuration options and the rest, well frankly I think many people are happy not to have to make complicated decisions for themselves such as in which opening do they insert a system installer disc.
