disable all local storage and store encrypted user files in remote "data havens"
Does m-o-o-t(hat) plan to ship a T1 connection with their distros to handle all of this remote data access? Or do I have to start buying floppies and ZIPs again?

If I ever heard someone say this, I'd smack the moustache off their face.
Lisa: By that logic, I could say that this rock keeps tigers away. It doesn't, but you don't see any tigers around do you?
Homer: Lisa, I'd like to buy your rock.
I'm sick and tired of the government masking their efforts to gain more control over our lives with a moral crusade. The responsibility for protecting our children lies with parents, not with the police. I'm sure we all learned at an early age not to "take candy from strangers." If they want to make sure our children our safe, make people take parenting classes in school.
If you're holding out for voice you're gonna have to wait for it to be acceptable to use it in public, too. It's bad enough with cell phones these days. If I ever get stuck next to someone on my redeye who insists on using his voice-enabled Palm XII while I'm trying to sleep, I'll listen just long enough to hear him dictate his password and then bitch-slap him unconscious.
The thought of not having to wait for my machine to boot is extremely appealing.
Yeah, if you like booting to the BSOD. I worked in a department with a bunch of crAptivas. 90% of the time the auto-resume choked on itself and I ended up having to wait for it to boot on top of the time it took to wait for the monitor to warm up to the BSOD. Maybe IBM should get their lousy existing OEM products working before they starting playing with new (old) technologies.
Who cares if it can address all that memory if it has to take dirt roads to get to all the addresses. With current memory bandwith, it would take about 30 seconds to see it all.
There's a reason why NASA still uses computer equipment from 15 years ago - the new technology just doesn't handle the rigors of space. We all hunger for bigger better faster more, and rigorously tested product does not equal cutting edge. So suck it up and pay your $500 for 'guaranteed POS' or go dig your Commodore 64 out of the closet.
It's all well and good to recognize that the benefits of this e2e paradigm will probably outweigh the negatives, but it's obvious that in this new age of technologies it's not always the best man that wins. By the time someone gets around to Building a Better Gnutella, the judicial branch will surely have caught up with it. If the government can't regulate it, it doesn't stand much of a chance.
There has to be a way to implement some manner of encryption between my brain and the keyboard in which the neuron pulses are jumbled and re-constructed via a random mapping once it reaches the keyboard. I'm no neurosurgeon but I think some sort of device could act as a scrambler for my brain. Add some {Beer, Chronic, Quantum Leap Reruns} and there you go.
Sheesh. I hope I never have cause to be this paranoid.

If you'd been to a TMBG concert, you'd know.
And who came up with person man?

Yes. Verizon sucks. Oh, wait, I forgot that Verizon sucks so much that they had to go and buy up all the domain names that say so. My bad.
lol. i agree: i'm often accused for being extremist, but almost never for being humorous.
Did anyone ever conclusively prove that power lines caused brain tumors? If not, I think we've found them a volunteer...

Thanks for the lesson in IPv4 and humor. I humble before your AC-liness and beg for my license back.

nope, in the movies it would have to be 555 000 000 001...

I'll take my Gravis gamepad over most console controllers any day. Who's the idiot who designed those bastard NES *square* controllers, anyway!
