There are many "container" architectures sprouting up. LXC, with last year's release of v1.x and introduction of "unprivilieged" containers, nested containers, overlayfs support & snapshots and now recently CRIU... is a great toolset.

I think today many people utilize either realtime chat/IRC etc or email lists or even facebook to share or exchange info on how to do things, solutions to bugs or misconfigurations etc.
Look at YouTube and how immense the number of training & how-to video's are there now on anything from OpenStack to LXC.
Computer/Electronic waste is already such a huge problem that whole companies exist whose existance is to ship that waste to 3rd world countries where they are more or less dumped to contaminate water & soils.
Since from everything I've read Graphene is nearly indestructable.... "It would take an elephant, balanced on a pencil, to break through a sheet of graphene the thickness of Saran Wrap [cling film]."

SSDs are great but some vendors are experiencing a very low MTBF rating in some of their products. If you are going to rely on one for your system then I'd spend a few minutes comparing reported failure rates among your selected choices for an SSD vendor & the specific product you have in mind. Some of these SSDs are failing at a higher rate than even the mechanically based spinning platter drives.
The dual drives I have seen (assuming this is what the vendors/stores call Hybrid drives) seem to me to be a shill. The do embed an SSD but they also make the platter HD piece a 5600 rpm drive instead of a 7200 rpm drive. So its faster with the SSD component but much slower with the platter side of the unit. Not sure I'd pay for that when I could just add an SSD to my system and leave my 7200rpm drives in situ.
I believe there are companies that are using the excuse of the Affordable Care Act to lower benefits and thus save costs. If AOL hadn't used the excuse of the AFA then it would have been some other excuse.
I don't suppose anyone saw the interview withe AOL CEO? Jeez that was an aweful looking work environment. There must have been a thousand people all sitting in from of keyboards on row after row of very long tables. The only interaction a person seems to have are to the person left or right of themself. I also noticed nearly everyone seemed to have their lunch in front of them (evidenced by take-out bags, a dish etc in view).
Many tech workers any more are being asked to work like senseless drones at their jobs.
I don't know where AOL employee satisfaction ranks but I see that AOL is NOT listed in the top 100 companies to work for in 2014:

SolarCity installs solar panels on your house for free and then you pay them for your electricity at a greatly reduced rate from what you used to pay your local electric company.
Solarcity tho' is not licensed to do business in every state yet but it is in a lot of States... check if yours is.

You might be able to utilize something like AWS S3 storage which is low cost for the storage but AWS will also charge you for I/O to/from S3. This can become very costly if you transfer alot of data into/out-of AWS S3.
Remember with a Cloud provider you have to pay to transfer the data IN and to transfer the data OUT.
Have you priced what a faster internet connection would cost you?
Or a 2nd Internet connection just for this video traffic?
Look beyond the Cable MSO's also, what is a FIOS based service's top speed?
You mention you BMP images being ~5MBytes (I assume mb = Meg Bytes and not Meg bits). Your current Internet is 100Mbps so one of your images takes 40% of your entire internet connection when being transfered (5MB x 8 bits = 40Mbits).
It takes an image every 3 to 5 seconds.
It seems to me that your problem may be more the bursti-ness of this traffic that cause you problems not necessarily the amount of data. Your internel "work" network is being hit every 3-5 seconds. Assuming your internal lans are 1Gbps ethernet this still shouldn't be a problem unless its your co-workers complaining that their "internet" access is too slow when 40% of the BW goes away every 3-5 seconds while transferring the image.
Lastly, you might want to make sure that your network Routers are not dropping pkts during those bursts because that will just be retransmitted packets which will only exacerbate your problem.
Ok.. Congress can't come to grips with regulating guns but they can printers that happen to print guns.

No wonder Dell's business is drowning... Windows actually costs Dell an OEM license. Linux costs them little or nothing.
if anything the Linux versions should be $50 cheaper.
I installed Splashtop on Ubuntu
then
installed splashtop clients on my Windows 7 and my 2 Android tablets and on my Samsung Skyrocket android phone.
I could not get the connection to work. I'm technical but there is little to no documentation available online other than
a few FAQs. If you need help you have to submit a ticket online and I suppose you wait until someone gets back to you via
email...
I guess I'll wait 6 months and let it bake and then try it again.
Hahaha... this made me laugh.
My father-in-law had undergone a medical treatment for colon cancer where they implanted a dozen small pellets of radioactive material around his tumor.
Well he & his wife drove to Canada on a trip and crossing the border INTO Canada was no problem.
However, upon trying to re-enter the U.S. at the Border some radioactive detection system went off, an automatic barrier went up in front of their car and soon a dozen armed police were surrounding their car.
Needless to say a 78 yr old man and his wife were a bit shaken by the experience and my father-in-law was questioned for an hour and their car searched/scanned before they were permitted to continue.
I am grateful that our Border can detect this kind of stuff down to the microscopic levels because a terrorist would certainly have more on them than what was in my relative's butt...
Good thing my father-in-law is a totally funny guy and his retelling of the incident had me in stitches for hours.
Documentation always suffers for most software and x2go is no different I guess.
x2go's website has been both in migration to a new site, a new platform all while the x2go server/client architecture has been under a rocketing development of new features & capabilites in the past 12 months or so.
Best advice is to join either the x2go user or x2go dev mailer's until the new website gets more updates.

in my experience usually meetings fail for basic fundamental reasons...
1) no agenda
2) no agenda sent in advance so people can come prepared to speak to and understand issue(s) and goal of meeting
3) due to #2 most of the meeting becomes a learning session of Q&A to understand the issues at hand
4) no review of previous meeting action items -or- progress to complete them so the wheels start spinning
5) meeting minutes aren't recorded by someone
6) action items aren't put into meeting minutes

I have an ExoPC which is ATOM N450 based. Being Atom cpu Ubuntu 11.10 installed easily and required NO chroot.
I've looked for quite a while and as far as my searching has found there are no ARM based linux for tablets out there "yet".
Ubuntu 12.04 (april 2012) is going to support OMAP4 ARM devices. Tegra2 cpu included so alot of the current flock of ARM Tegra 2 Tablets should
be able to run it and any derivatives (mint etc) when that is released next spring.
There's also been alot of work by Canonical/Ubuntu and others that you can find at www.linaro.org
I'd like to know how many of these sponsors have EVER had a job where they were expected to
- work 4-5 weeks or more straight with no breaks
- consistently be on-call 24x7x365
- sleep in their office or cube and eat takeout for days
All this will do is make it even easier to put even more pressure on people. Even some IT person making $75k-125K/year needs time off, time with their families/kids.
Take away any restraints and Corporations will just flog their mule-workers to death until they get sick, quit or get divorced instead of hiring more people (which would be a good thing for employment in the U.S.).
Then the corporation will just outsource the job to some 3rd world person that will work like that... and in this economy sending even more jobs overseas really helps the U.S.A. ! NOT !
I wonder if ANY of those Senators bothered to even talk to IT workers about their lives and work environments.
Microsoft is so far behind in cloud/virtualization that they'll have to start paying people to use 365.
What's the old saying...
"Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"
The "cloud" has very rapidly evolved and Open Source is a gigantic force there.
Look at AWS EC2 and just check how many AMI's are linux based...
My search shows of ALL AMI's on EC2
-- only 820 are Windows
-- 5,762 are Linux (ubuntu, debian, redhat, centos etc)
Since AWS is by far the largest IaaS Public Cloud... what does that tell you about what's being adopted in "cloud"
As an IaaS it is YOUR responsibility to design security etc into YOUR servers on EC2. I think the title of this thread is misleading in that it makes it sound like AWS is at fault for implementation of someone's poor practices.
"Amazon's Cloud is Full of Holes"
That's like saying Intel's processor's are Full of Holes because people do stupid things using machines that have them.

From Intel's AppUP website here is a writeup/guide about how to create a multi-boot environment on the Atom based ExoPC
http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/blog/2011/07/07/creating-multi-boot-exopc-tablet
This shows how to multiboot Ubuntu, Windows, MeeGo on the ExoPC.
NOTE: the ExoPC is exactly the same h/w as the European WeTab tablet. BOTH are made by a subsidiary of ASUS.

cloudstack is a cloud orchestration toolset/api that supports multi-tenant cloud provisioning & services. it appears to be a fairly complete architecture but is also in a transitional phase as they try to implement support for further cloud hypervisor environments.
They are contributing to OpenStack and from what I understand will include OpenStack as an component of CloudStack's future development.
Here's a good writeup & summary:
