    I know I don't want just any car that could up, and on it's own slam into people waiting in line at the movies. I'm sure they'll all be networked together as well so it will be the start of the robot uprising with thousands of cars running people down at random. I saw the documentary of the last time it happened called Maximum Overdrive.

    Sorry, it's the only kind I'm familiar with after watching my room mate go through it first hand. Both the entire night being kept awake, and the next morning. You're right about it not ending up in court, but being accused of rape was not something he took lightly, nor was something he socially wanted to have to explain.

    Not yet obviously, as it's mostly a useless academic exercise. But that is the goal right?

    As opposed to a morning after rapist. You know that kind that was consensual the previous night then a rapist the next morning.

    ssh is a way to access other servers. So long as I can run graphical and non graphical applications on that other server in teh same way I would locally then it's fine.

    How else would I run a Wayland app on the server but display it on my workstation?

    It's not network transparent because I have to actually run it for it to work. I can run an app from my local terminal with the exact same command as I would use on a remote terminal.

    Are you saying that Wayland apps can be run remotely over an ssh connection without a full install and something like RDP or VNC? Maybe I'll change my mind then.

    I would but I can't forward the display and do it remotely without a full desktop install on every server.

    Or, ssh into a development server and run eclipse.

    Or ssh into a new oracle host and launch the oracle installer

    With Wayland soon we'll have to have full graphical installs on ever server rather than just the minimal xlib to support remote viewing of applications.
