Cool find - "eyeOS"
EyeOS is a "web operating system", which is essentially a Windows desktop that goes everywhere with you. It lets you make word documents, presentations, etc, all within a virtual desktop. You can make a free account at:

Sure makes OrangeOS look bad 
For you geeks out there, it's a MySQL-driven PHP page which runs on my BSD server in my basement.
Enjoy

Re: Cool find - "eyeOS"
Wow. That's amazing! Have you used it much? It looks like it could be very handy for people that bounce from computer to computer a lot...or use public computers like at the library.
I noticed that when I clicked on the link a second time, it took me right back to my virtual desktop without having to log in again. Is it using cookies to remember?

I find it quite useful when going from school to home. Just wanted to share.
If you click the green bar near the bottom-center (assuming you're using the default theme), and click "End session", it logs you out.

Double-posting is when you post the exact same thing twice, by hitting "Submit" an extra time.
I didn't write it, I just host it. There are several other eyeOS hosts out there as well, but its hard to find a free one. The paid ones have more applications, features, etc, that the host has added him/herself (It's open source).

I'm gonna look for security flaws. 
I just wanna make sure it would be unhackable.

It's all chmod 755
Doesn't matter. If I can exploit Mysql, I get everyone's passwords (I wouldn't use then, I'm not evil 
) My dad works in Computer Science, and he showed me a Mysql hack I could use to hack youtube and get every accounts password. I'm gonna get my friends, and put a comment saying "this was alan" .
