I'd like webdav type solution where the data is only available when you have a connection and the machine is authorized, a bit like the iphone app.
Your point about encryption is also valid.
Of course when someone steals your laptop which is syncing to dropbox, the data is theirs.
You can unlink updates to the stolen device but the data is gone. I'd love a remote wipe facility.
I think it's a bad mistake for Ubuntu to support KDE on equal footing with Gnome; for the Linux desktop, the best thing is if people standardize on Gnome for now. I thought the point was to make Linux more poular rather than less popular. Restricting the choice of window mamager would certainly be a step backwards IMVHO and would limit the appeal of Linux for many.
Personally I prefer KDE but I'm not going to force anyone to use it.
I get it - you are running some application that requires Solaris but in a cruel twist of fate you are going to try and run said application on X86 Solaris rather than real Solaris.
Good luck with that.
This whole thing stinks of tryting to keep alive dying technology. Solaris is dying and the only way it is going to survive is if the GNU Solaris project takes off, Solaris Kernel and Debian userspace - nice, otherwise it will be niche OS in two years.
That gives the impression that Vmare is a great product, I'd debate that. I find it a PITA alot of the time. XEN isn't the only kid on the block, Qemu works really well too.

Townsend pleaded guilty. Anyone know when his book is out?
Total overkill. Here is how to get a 250 Gb Raid 10 storange free of charge 1: Get 125 Gmail accounts 2: Get Google filestem 3: Job done
The Guardian is the online newspaper of the year but doesn't get a mention in that article - speaks volumes I think.
