I use this all the time, it works wonderfully. You can also copy your private keys over multiple computers, so you only need one key for all of your computers.
However, you probably want to change keys every couple years. That way you don't have to worry about someone logging into your computers with a 10+ year old key you forgot about.
I don't know about those in the article (never heard of any of them), but here's what I use:
Emacs M-x calc, maxima and QtOctave. Gnuplot for graphs. Often Google or python shell for quick things, if I'm too lazy to open emacs calc.
I'm surprised none of those were mentioned in article.
I currently have two tunnels (one to an out of house server & one to my house), a subnet for my house (I've tested it, I can ssh from an external server directly to my in-house computers without any port forwarding). It adds a little latency (since you have to go through some other router before reaching the ipv6 part of the internet), but not too bad.
It seems like it'd be a better idea to start with something that hasn't been extinct for that long, for practice.
I hope they work it out, it'd be cool to see something extinct brought back through science.
DejaVu Sans Mono on emacs23 here, been using it since I first compiled emacs23!
Non-fixed width fonts just don't work for me when I'm programming. I don't like the random look they have in my programs.
I think the main new part is that this is driven by motors & is made of real materials, when for CGI they can manipulate anything any way they want to. No worrying about piece X breaking, or piece Y not being able to move that way.
Also, for puppetry (and similar), you can make something look enough not like a REAL human, to avoid the "uncanny valley" problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_Valley

I use SIXXS, it's been working great.

Where are mod points when you need them? Parent desperately needs to be modded something OTHER than informative.
Would you believe me if I said that's the last time I post a Slashdot comment without doing proper research?

Please tell me those modding parent Informative were all just joking...
Well, at least they aren't putting it off to November 13th (Friday)
