ya this will work.. like the thin clients of the past.. as boardband companies are changing the bandwidth rules and companies are trying to find was to put it's data on the internet because it's safe...

boardband companies! Heck, and I hadn't even thought about them! ;-)

You're absolutely right!
Opening up resources to fundamentally insecure trivial network access - not to mention cloud and SAAS resources without some VERY robust multi-multi-factor authentication for both the device AND the operator is a recipe for disaster. And the ability to remotely shut these devices down in the event of loss or compromise? And that assumes that the link is encrypted and the authentication process secure as well.... so many problems here that anyone using them as anything other than simply web access is simply begging for trouble.

It sure would be nice is someone - ANYONE actually thought communications through in an anything but piece meal fashion.

Yup, wireless cloud computing on remotely hosted servers using SAAS is NOT going to suddenly replace the local server any minute now. Just like it has failed in the past... Not until some VERY substantial issues are addressed.

Virtualized remotely hosted servers are not the answer to much else than centralized admin and hardware maintenance costs. Secure access still offers the same challenges in addition to a few new security concerns with even greater risk upon compromise than the old models.

But you don't seem to read about that in the articles here nor in the -blue sky all is rosy- marketing brochures!

"the Linux-based desktop machine"

...it sounded rather interesting until I reached this point.

Now, were it a mobile device offering hybrid phone/limited PC use, it would be a nice alternative to the gimmicky smart phones out there.

But if it is a "desktop machine", who cares?

Just like what people think about your comment?

Linux meets all of the requirements without the added cost of a bloatware OS like Windows. But what do you know, you're an idiot libertopian corporate worshiper...

So when is Linux gonna FINALLY take over the desktop?

And it can boot to Skype! ROFLMAO! Will wonders never cease!? As after all, that is about the only "application" available for your toy...I know, I know...there is OpenOffice! But the real question that has obsessed Linux developers for the past 15 years that everyone wants to really know is: Just how close is the UI to looking like Windows????? LOL!

But then here we have the anti-US jerkwad who likes Linux only because he can get the fruits of others labor for free. Such a predictable socialist leech.

So tell us jerkwad about the integrated secure connectivity provided by your schema???? But not to worry, as the Germans will simply come and wade around in your computer without authorization - after all, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to hide! ...Sooooo European!

And just how are the Roma going to finally obtain civil rights in your Utopian hellhole? You know, where 20Kplus amphibians die in in the swamp because the temperature reaches a paltry 100 degreesF, while neither the Frog PM nor the victims' relatives can be bothered to return early from Canada or their vacations to claim the bodies! And to think you typed this to the light of a lamp with a human skin for the shade.

Too bad, as I value unpredictable individual freedom over your regimented groupthink security.And heaven knows how there is nothing like a pogrom for security in numbers! Hardly anyone breaks in, right?!

So here's a novel assignment sure to keep you busy for a while: go figure out what a bath and refrigeration are. And, rather than tax your little hive mind, we'll save the concept of putting ice in a liquid to cool it, and why you can't order Belgium waffles in Belgium, for another day...

Translation of FoxFart: blah, blah, blah.......

-----------------------------------------------

Like all such libertopian idiots you just don't have a clue about true value. You believe that if something costs more than it must automatically be worth more. No wonder your way of thinking has screwed up the USA so much. That is why a purely libertopian state will never exist. Its too delusional and stupid. You're also a complete failure as a person as well. I feel sorry for you.

BTW, I just got a new Sony 32" LCD TV with HDMI and HDTV that I'm also using as a monitor. Ain't socialism grand. [smiles] I also have a terabyte of storage to use with my 15Mbit cable connection.

The worse anti-American "jerkwads" that I have ever met are those like you. Your kind hates the average citizen so much that you're all too willing to believe lies about them. You are a true Ugly America that gives your country a bad name.

Ii is your own greed and selfishness that has cause the current mess in America now. The terrorists have nothing on your hatred of America. All they can do is kill you once. What you have done is far worse and will reach for generations to come. All your claims of patriotism are outright lies in face of these facts. May god have mercy on your soul.

If I truly hated America as you do I wouldn't be supporting Obama and his plans to bring you from republican/libertopian ruin.

Anything that you say from now on just continues to prove your incompetence and hatred of your country.

What?

If it costs more it has more value?
The irony is that I never mentioned price once as a criterion for evaluating the system!

And "true value"...LOL! Yeah, tell us the value of a compromised system, genius...

Instead it was the lack of a secure interface and method of authentication with a remote distributed host that were the problems! As well as it being a "desktop" system as opposed to a truly portable system.

But then, reading for meaning never has been your strong suit, as, in your case, it ranks right up there with thinking and logic. ;-))

And dimwit, Bush was not a fiscal conservative and anything BUT libertarian! In fact, his BIG government partisan social conservatism was far too liberal for fiscal conservatives and libertarians to stomach - and hence his incredible lack of support.

But then, you certainly don't let facts confuse you, and just like the rest of your absolutely nonsensical rant, it has nothing to do with reality...or logic.

...Pet a Roma, jerkwad. I guess the notion of taking a bath and refrigeration still confound you...as is so evident by how easy it is to push your buttons. So, how DO you like those German Trojans wandering around in your PC?

LOL!

32" LCD TV??? and with a HDMI???? Holy F***, that's amazing!!!!11!!one!!!! And your using it as a monitor? To poor to buy a separate monitor I take it?
