I have a system; a laptop and a desktop box, keyboard and mouse is shared via Synergy as well as a headless server for storage and services.
The "Desktop" folder on each machine (both Ubuntu) is actually a link to a samba share in my home dir on the headless box. Each night at 24:00 the two client boxes copy the "Desktop" contents into a backup folder. Everything that is data for work or requiring backup (pics etc) is mirrored across the 3 machines.
Redundant backups with no single point of failure.
The 6 monitors thing sounds cool. How do you have it arranged?
You can get into a suitable VPS for development for less than $10 per month. Use Virtualmin (GPL) for your control panel, and the Virtualmin installer will set up perfectly functional LAMP stack for you.
I have an account there, 8 sites that get a combined 5000 avg hits per day, all dynamic sites (Joomla!), and have not had a problem.
When you need more, they also offer dedicated servers for $99 per month.
Keep an eye on lowendbox.com and you might be able to fish yourself a $2/month non-US VPS server that has the necessary resources for Privoxy and a caching DNS server.
From what I gather (remember this info is all secondhand) some people in former first-world countries (USA anyone?) use TOR, Privoxy, livecds, etc. to research the sort of things that might throw up a flag.
Do you want me to send "unsolicited" stuff to your IP address?
You make a very good point.
If you want to totally fuck up someone's day, boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD, get a free email account through TOR, grab a few kid porn pics off 4chan and then email them to the person you don't care for.
Then a lot of fake-churchy NASCAR trash with badges and guns can pretend to do something, your enemy gets a real bad rep in town, and you get to have a laugh at their expense.

Those people need a second monitor.
Once you go "deuce", you never go back.
Bravo, my man.
And, if you are self-publishing, you should put up a few of your songs in the public domain via BitTorrent.
While reading these comments I became curious about your music, and went directly to a torrent site to see if there were any samples.
Nothing but crickets, man.
Nothing but crickets.
BuffaloVPS has a decent deal going for VPS.

Breaks are for playing with toys.
Between breaks, well, mostly we try to do work.
YMMV
True dat.
Keep your fucking cellphone in your pocket, or better yet, leave it at home.
Nothing worse than having an assistant or coworker who spends every free second texting everybody and their brother.
How the fuck are they supposed to stay focused at work?
Newer Ubuntu is all bloaty and whatnot.
The last stable version was Hardy Heron.
We still run it on client boxes.
Sorry to see it come to the end of the support period. :(
Good reading on the very subject:

From your link:
... In this paper, we show that linkability allows us to trace 193% of additional streams...
193 percent?
Really?
The idea is that, moving forward, let's not have to sit down.
Agreed.
Now companies can get a lot of fat fucking desk jockeys to work from a treadmill/stairmaster via iPad.
Everybody wins:
the company, because fit (not fat) people are more motivated
the employee, because it sucks to be a fat fuck
the rest of us, because we have fewer ginormous blobs of grease riding around Wal-Mart in those little electric LTPs (Lard Transportation Devices)
That is an excellent process.
+1 Internets for you, sir.
Here, have some chicken.
It sounds like you went to an excellent school.
Kudos :)
The seeded-by-aliens bit isn't nearly as far-fetched as the "dust man and rib woman and talking snake eating apples in the garden".
IMO evolution is the most likely, but the aliens thing is at least plausible.
There is more than one religion.
Are you going to also teach Buddhism? Pastafarianism? Hinduism? Mormonism? Satanism?
Or dare I say it... ISLAM !?
Probably not.
Go be fake-churchy FOX News trash elsewhere, please.
kthxbye
I usually bow out of stories like this, but must make one comment:
Anybody who thinks time is important as a metric is seriously missing the point.
Mainstream news is crap.
The proof?

Then again, the above-linked information didn't come from FOX or CNN, so it must be false.
FAIL.
So what you mean roundeye, pirated XP machines no good security?
Yu Dum.
ROT13 twice?
NPR has been worthless for years.
The spin is easy to see. Not as blatant as a Murdoch entity, but obvious enough.

Only the smart ones read the EULA.
The fake-churchy NASCAR trash couldn't be stuffed.
