Agree. The best thing for these devices is land fill. They have no purpose existing.
The hardware is interesting; it's the OS (Windows RT) that's sinking it. If we could figure out how to install something else, the device might get a new lease on life.
You can jailbreak it. XDA Forums have a list of apps recompiled for it. You can also run powershell and.net apps.
"As of 2007, the best attack which applies to all keys can break IDEA reduced to 6 rounds (the full IDEA cipher uses 8.5 rounds).[1] Note that a "break" is any attack which requires less than 2128 operations; the 6-round attack requires 264 known plaintexts and 2126.8 operations. Bruce Schneier thought highly of IDEA in 1996, writing, "In my opinion, it is the best and most secure block algorithm available to the public at this time." (Applied Cryptography, 2nd ed.) However, by 1999 he was no longer recommending IDEA due to the availability of faster algorithms, some progress in its cryptanalysis, and the issue of patents.[5]"
Not to mention there's legislation that prevents spent rods being reprocessed. Leaving a lot of nasty radioactive waste about when it could be reprocessed into more fuel, and reused and further being a source for fast breeders.
Here in the UK we enjoy almost uninterrupted mains power. No brownouts (a brownout perhaps every eight months which is usually due to maintenance, extreme weather or emergency works), no requirement for external generators nor for a UPS for your desktop PC.
I understand that the power supply in the US is patchy at best, with frequent brownouts. I think you guys really do need a stable source of power. Nuclear is a good way to supply this. Focusing on renewables won't begin to replace this, nor will it give an easily modulatable power supply that reacts to user demand. Sure they take a long time to build, and there's legislation preventing waste processing being done that would wring out more power from the same uranium. So you end up with large waste disposal sites where you wastefully allow spent rods to decay needlessly. That's assuming you still are building old-style reactors. Newer ones have much less waste, more power and frankly are less dangerous.
Solution lots of smallish pebble-bed nuclear reactors to do the heavy lifting, augmented with solar, with the odd gas & coal power stations taking up the slack.

Sounds like what you need is WPA Enterprise :P

Sigh.
Have you a hosts file to prove that?

You can jailbreak all winRT devices.
It's important to keep the RT (WinCE warmed over)
WRONG It's actually windows 8 compiled for arm.
The Game.
You have lost it.
Not using IDEA is a good call.

Pedantry aside, I *so* know what you mean.
I detect someone doesnt know what a HSM nor what one is used for.
Here, have a wikipedia link and learn something today http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_security_module [wikipedia.org]

Lasers can't even penetrate our navigation shields. Don't they know that?
Regulations do call for yellow alert.
...and hot blue alien chicks!
FTFY
Mod parent up.
I almost wet myself. ******* indeed!
They also had dilithium reactors too.

Besides Pebble Bed reactors are the way to go.

Gas Power? Coal Power? Great, Cheap to build but pollute like crazy. Not to mention coal burners actually more radioactive than nuclear power. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=coal-ash-is-more-radioactive-than-nuclear-waste

More horrendous puns in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
I preferred the simplicity of system 7 (or 6) over the faux 3d of windows.
Every thing was really clear.
Anything that moves things back in that direction cannot be bad.
I remember looking at Enlightenment and thinking how bloated that was.
UI needs less chrome, not more.
Metro^WModern UI looks nicer these days, but it still doesn't hide the fact what's under the hood.
They still haven't fixed this:

In fact there's now exploits in the wild now, and frankly it was a stupid idea in the first place.
Also if the bad guys have access to a machine (yes, RDP counts) you lose.
I don't care how locked down you think your system is.
The only secure computer is one powered off and in a fire safe at the bottom of a mineshaft.
I think google has already mentioned that the glass part will be glowing when the device is activated.
This is more than a good enough clue tbqf.
Is it possible it just needs salt?
Apocalypse peppers?
Sounds interesting ... what's the Scoville value of them? 20 million? 40?
Surely you mean his little known novella Rendezvous with Ramen?
Richard Stallman, is that you?
