I've been using netmeeting for this, and it's okay, but does have some problems and limitations with XP, mostly having to do with stable connections. And it doesn't allow user icons or any other way to differentiate users in the chat window (other than name), which is a feature that several of my users really want.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Cute article.
Switching to Windows: Not as easy as you think
Review of Windows XP written as a typical Linux distribution review.
Iger has made it one of his personal missions to patch up the rift Eisner caused between Apple and Disney.
I'd say rift definitely patched.
Note to self: If Steve Jobs is pissed at me, give him 4 billion dollars.
Note to self: Get pissed at Tom.
No, wait, impossible. Pretend to get pissed and bargain for half price.
awesome.
What utilities exist in XP for comparing two binary files to see if they're the same, and to count the number of differences if they're not?
I'm thinking there's an old DOS utility which still might be in XP....
eta: Sorry, I really should have googled first. It looks like the DOS utiltiy 'fc' wil do the trick...
why do you need to do that?
May I ask?
We have a computer that a consultant set up with VB 6 that we use to compile DLLs for a client's web server (for a employee timesheet system that serves thousands of employees). The computer is dying, so I set up the VB project on my computer. I wasn't sure what all was installed on the other computer (like, the Dot Net framework (not sure if that's even used for the DLL)) so I wanted to see if the resulting DLLs were the same. They're not - oddly, every other line has a single character difference.
The DLL I compiled on my computer seems to work fine on our test system. I'm just extra paranoid about breaking something on the payroll system.
