And there are rather simple solutions which already allow you to do this, such as VNC or something. Inbetween the increased security risks seen with this type of software architecture, the CPU and memory overhead of this, and limited ways to do things, it doesn't sound like a good idea.
What would be the point? You can still access MySQL and stuff without the limitations of a web browser and javascript... it's just one more layer of operations, impeding performance in the long run.
Your comment is semi-irrelevant, they're only using 1 meg of traffic in writing a letter using software as a service once, but a bunch of people opening openoffice over and over and over again? That adds up to be even more bandwidth.... and could you imagine the requirements for the database?
Isn't that just moving the application from one linux box(the client) to another(the server)?
I mean, no sane person would use Windows to host something like that....
But on a more serious note, a lot of OSS developers don't have the money to smack down on bandwidth and machines just to host their projects - where as Google and Microsoft can afford it.
The first clue that the above is bullshit is the site's title. "legit, legal" torrents are seldom distributed as ISOs. If you're thinking that it refers to Linux ISOs, think again -- there's already a site [legaltorrents.com] specializing in "legit, legal" torrents. Notice that there are few if any ISOs to be had there, and no Linux distros.
That's great, but notice that we do have alot of linux distributions, and alot of independant content.
Listen, I understand why the owners of ISOHunt think they need to keep chanting the "legitimate" line; it's to build a case that they didn't have intent [wikipedia.org]. But we don't need to be their stooges. We know exactly why ISOHunt was there. Let's not kid ourselves.
Can you name one reason we shouldn't be considered "legitimate"? We comply with DMCA notices as required by law, and we don't actually host any of the end-result files. We simply index torrents.
We're even working with independant artists. A few months ago I worked with the artist Kazy to release a higher resolution music video through our site as a promotion for his youtube contest entry, was that not legitimate? Kazy seemed to think it was.
As an owner of an Inspiron e1705 with a core 2 duo T7200, and an geforce go 7900gs cross flashed with the 7900gtx bios and overclocked while attached to a WUXGA display, I can confidently say that I love my laptop, and because of the dual 8 cell non-exploding lithium ion batteries it still has great battery life. Although it's a little heavy, it's still nothing like what laptops used to weigh! Hell, my first laptop weighed more than my desktop.
The tracker still reports your upload/download stats and your IP, regardless of if it's a private or public tracker. If it didn't report this, then you wouldn't be able to actually use bittorrent. All peergaurding will do is stop known abusive IP ranges from sending your client crap data.
The window manager showed in Jurrasic Park is actually real, it's fsn. There's a linux port, fsv at sourceforge.
As you'll notice, the view does make it possible to tell that you're in a *nix enviornment.

But I thought we had p2p search engines...
No exploits, eh? Ever search on milw0rm.com? Quite a few exploits there. Do you monitor any security lists at all? BugTraq?

Quick, pull the plug, they know this decades root password to the constitution!
Oh now you've done it... dude you better pray he doesn't pull out the DMCA on you!

Uh, the defendant's lawyer is going to have fun attacking the chain of evidence there.
Are you sure being on slashdot isn't the stress test?
Anyone ever see "Idiocracy"?

Can we get this man on the task of finding the "any" key? I can't find it anywhere...

What do you mean by more stupid?
... and sacrifice mobility.

Sorry, but GoogleBot isn't a web browser, it's a web spider.
Hey, SCO! You're supposed to submit your evidence during discovery, not several years into the case! Stop wasting our time and give up already.

You still need the CR/LF to end the line after that close bracket, so really it's two characters... you should demand a pay raise.
It's not true until you edit wikipedia to say it is! GET MOVING!
