If you want to use X forwarding, you're probably not going to be happy with the results. Machines on the same gigabit switch can even have poor performance just loading or refreshing a file manager. There may be other ways, and there are always remote desktop-type layers like NX.. Discrete On T

It's due to libcurl, noted in STORM-809, and supposedly fixed (in the autobuild repo)? If someone can verify that, maybe you can build it and solve your problem, otherwise you'll have to build your own libcurl to drop in. Another alternative seems to be maintaining your own DNS server/cache, but th

USE_PREBUILT_LIBS doesn't make absolute sense either if you consider the fact that your system's libraries are "prebuilt". This would imply that the inverse of the setting would cause supporting libraries to be built from source or some such. I would make it something like "USE_LINDEN_LIBS". Dis

Possible cover-all solution: use Mercurial's "eol" extension. It's worked pretty well for me so far, and handily autofixed all the DOS endings in a particular fork I looked at in one go. It works much like the autoprops configuration does in Subversion; hopefully with less pain. Enable it (should

I would assume that, to be more detailed, your code would either not allow connections to the LL grid, or you would have to decline the updated ToS/TPVp, thus not agreeing to be bound to it but also preventing you from using the LL grid yourself. On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 3:58 PM, Tigro Spottystripe

It's possible to willingly agree to liability and wave whatever protections you wish that are normally under the GPL, which seems to be what the TPV asks you to do.

You can find grids exactly like you want already, but they have online concurrencies that can be counted on one hand and are slow as molasses, plus no one makes any content there for exactly the reasons you would like to use them. It would be narrow-minded to think that open source is the only bus
