Supporting evidence:
* I am shacking right now, would I be doing that if someone else was here with me? No.
* You need to explain the sanity of everything you do to the other guy. No ugly hacks.
* Everything can be discussed and the best solution (which may not be your own) can be chosen.
* When motivation drops the other guy can "take the keyboard" for a while and the work keeps progressing.
* There's is simply no way to "cheat". You're both keeping track of each other. Nobody leaves too early, nobody plays games instead of finishing the project.
* It's more fun. You can joke and have fun while coding.
I came to this realisation now, working on my first comercial project. I have a part of the code base to myself and I'm not even a tenth as productive as I would be when programming with my lab partner from school. I try to be, but it's just not possible to keep a self-discipline even coming close to rivaling the discipline that teamwork provides.

I can't host it for very long, so if someone would grab it and throw it up on a mirror, I'd appreciate it. It's a very small (7.5 meg) clip taken in Fraps, but it's very cool. Crank up your sound when playing it.

I have a user who can barely turn on their computer and needs help (she lives 8hours away). It would be very painful for me to try and explain how to "invite a friend" via XP's remote assistance so I was hoping to be the one to initiate the session and just have her accept it but it seems XP only allows you to "offer" inside a domain correct? Is there any way to offer/initiate a remote assistance session outside via email?

I have gotten some constructive criticizm on the conga line and I want it to be as useful as possible. If nothing else it helps minimize all the referal posts, right?
Ok, so would you guys prefer:
1) Leave it the way it is, first come first serve
2) Randomize it so it's different on every view and everyone has a fair chance.
3) Order by number of referals left so those closer to completion get them.
Please let me know what you think and I'll change it if necessary.
