usually it's your own stupid fault

"The difficult thing with programming isn't usually the syntax but the fact that most people can't cope with the computer doing exactly what they tell it to do."

This gets right at the heart of why programming can be so frustrating, it's usually your own stupid fault.

May be a better option for leverageing paralell computing in a genetic programing project. openMosix doesn't seem to be the most suitable.

NetMeeting in XP

Such a basic question: "Where is the shortcut to start netmeeting in XP?"

But so hard to find the answer just by googling or trying to read help.

The answer, thanks to TISR IT help:

start->run->conf

netmeeting starts and then offers to make shortcuts for you after you set it up.
