Unfortunately that does not work nicely. On a multiuser Linux system everyone can see your password by looking at the process list. Here's a proof of concept:
If somebody gets root access to the remote ssh server they can take over your local desktop, at least if you use "ssh -X" and not "ssh -Y -o 'ForwardX11Trusted no'".
Perhaps in theory but that's not very realistic today. Malware on a phone can easily leak a lot of data without anybody noticing, that won't happen with your mind.
If you run gnome programs from icewm you may experience odd problems. For example epiphany opens PDF files in GIMP
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=526958
since icewm-session does not set XDG_DATA_DIRS or know much about freedesktop.org standards.
I tried to do this with the meego calendar but then noticed that it doesn't come with source code. That kind of makes it impossible to port it to debian.
Trust isn't black and white. I can trust that if I turn the GSM part off it will stay off. I can also trust that it won't be able to record samples from the microphone when I am not making a call.
As somebody who has used freerunner since 2008 daily I can say that for me the largest problem is the lack of stable touchscreen friendly FOSS applications. For example I'm currently using the debian "dates" package as my calendar but that is going to be removed since upstream has abandoned it ages ago. I can't take the calendar from meego since it does not come with source code. I could take the android calendar but unfortunately after that it'd be difficult to run non-android applications.
Perhaps Tizen will write me an HTML5 calendar application that I can then use with chromium? Unfortunately chromium is not very touchscreen friendly either. There is the chromeTouch extension but it does not come with a free license (I mailed the author in 2010 but got no reply).

No need to set it to "0.0.0.0", you can just remove all IPv4 addresses from all interfaces and only add IPv6 addresses if you want.
ICMP runs on top of IP so I'd say it is a higher level protocol.

One way to improve reliability is to have more than one phone tied to the same number.
Packets in packets was interesting idea.
How much energy can the iPad battery hold? The article talks about 200 Ah (3.7*V*200*A*3600*s = 2.6 MJ?).
A while ago I had to explain how USB flash drives are mounted on desktop systems so I made a screencast that shows how you can use systemtap to figure that out: http://lindi.iki.fi/lindi/screencast/what-happens-when-you-mount-usb-stick1.ogv

Isn't D-BUS an example of how the mechanism can be separated from the GUI?
How do you copy files to/from USB flash drives? fstab with user option, limited sudo, pmount or mcopy?
If you open d-feet you can see some of the d-bus services that are offered. Here are some examples: org.freedesktop.Notifications implementing http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/index.html org.freedesktop.secrets implementing http://code.confuego.org/secrets-xdg-specs/ org.gnome.ScreenSaver
If it works for USB hard drives I'd like to get a pcap capture of the USB traffic.
How does it actually repair the drive? I googled around but found no clear explanation.
For this reason I often use a cable-style USB hub with my laptop. It means I don't need to worry about the connector nearly as much.
Where do you get this 1.5 GB requirement? 3.4.4 seems to have an RSS of 80 MB immediately after startup.

Yep, "free phone" is always relative. There's non-free software running in the GPS and Wifi parts too.
It has some bugs that I'd like to fix and I'd also like to distribute it as part of debian. Need a permission from the author to do that.
gta02 radio firmware was not open either.
