Quote from gezmoor :

Call me old fasioned, but personally I have no interest in putting my entire life on "the web" and trusting all my data etc to the hands of people I don't know, working for companies in some other part of the world.

I'll use the internet as a resource and that's it. All other computing, I will always trust to my own physical device located in my personally secured environment where I control who has access to it.

So called "cloud computing" is one of the dumbest ideas ever IMO.

T-Mobile are the latest company to get in to hot water over rogue employees selling customer details to third parties.

Sorry, but I'll never trust other people with anything but the absolute minimum of my personal information.

Could you give an example of 'personal data'?

Quote from Ivo Georgiev :

I think the idea makes sense, but we need a better way to make web apps. We also need a way to integrate the existing ones into the browser. This should be easy, there are already a lot of frameworks designed to get "objects" defined by your apps and then use those objects in other apps. For example, we have OpenOffice defining object "document_edit". If you want to edit a document in your browser, you just call that object, and the same form that you use to edit objects in openoffice shows up in your browser. In Linux, the framework to do this was ORBit, but now it's obsoleted for things that are directly built-in GTK.
Another example would be the WebKit object in Qt. You just use this object in your apps, and it displays web pages.


So the first step into cloud computing /as Google interpret it/ will be integrating existing apps into the browser with a unified framework.

However, I don't see anything bad about using a not-only-browser OS for only browser tasks, so there isn't a big point of a browser-only OS. I feel that Google OS will be HIGHLY overrated!

Also, we are not ready for clouding YET. What about 4 GB games? We still need the same hybrid mode.

BTW, I develop a Linux distro called "Linvo", and I once had the idea of putting the whole personal data/home directory into the internet. Currently, I'm working on the realization, and I have to tell you that there is no reason to be worried about your data, at least in my case, because the data gets compressed and encrypted. Basically, you have a directory mounted via ftpfs, then posixovl, then a compression filesystem (that encrypts) overlayed over the whole thing. This means that to de-crypt your data, I need your password. Which is stored in a md5 hash on the server, rendering it useless if I want to de-crypt exactly this.

And If you use the internet, you have to trust someone. If you don't trust anyone, don't register here, don't register anywhere.

I can imagine we(consumers of home pc's and notebooks)will have a place in our lives for such light weight clients such as this. For example let us imagine that for Google chrome's OS to become of any use it would need to be run on such hardware that 1. is truly light weight and portable for example credit card sized, 2. infrastructure of networks and broadband providers to support the use of and coverage to be increased country-wide ten-fold. A major factor is the BB providers imo, if such a light weight client was available our BB providers could charge for the use of it when out and about as part of our BB package ie. the client is registered and has a unique key to connect to any public AP.

If newtork infrastructure supported such clients and we were able to tie our 'home' data and pc's with such a mobile client, off-board processing could also become a possibility through our 'personal network' and mobile apps.

Two bottle-necks:

Network coverage
light-weight hardware

...it's the only way this OS will be worth while imo...

...how on earth could anyone justify buying a machine and only running this on it? what a waste, unless of course we see some clever integration of this into advertisement channels as a tool to woe the masses, having this run on an ATM or credit card or bus and train tickets would be really cool...

...yeah, so whats the problem?

TBH all you need is to get the three(workshop, office & laptop)on the same network

I assume the internet connection is fed to the house or home office?, is it via wireless router situated in the house, or is it direct lan ethernet connection to the desktop?

Getting the office and shop networked is a piece of cake, you have three options, 1. you hard wire, 2. you situate the wireless router in such a place in the house as to bring the signal in range of the shop either by physically moving it closer, or by purchasing add-on antenna. 3. get a cheap usb network card and one or two long usb extension cables to bring the network card as close to the shop as possible, preferably line of sight.(ad-hoc connection, [internets>desktop]-----[desktop>shop](two seperate networks)

For on the road a mobile broadband subscription for the laptop?...remote desktop to office and shop now possible and depending on your ability it may be possible(someone please clarify???)to map the drive peechtree uses over the mobile broadband network, having one single working folder for peachtree serving all pc's.

The VMM runs in protected and isolated memory space, the two 'machines' do not share RAM at the same time and virus' in one machine cannot find their way to the other simply because they share RAM.

...let's face it. You can't simply say that a virus can't place itself outside the predefined 'space' allocated to the VM because as we all know(or should know by now)that any system can be exploited.

A slightly ignorant statement imo, because I feel that to put as you say a banking system in place and becoming contempt that it just can't happen is ignorant...

i'm no uber viri hacking geek wielding ten thousand VM exploiting scripts, i just know it can be done is all.

May the case be that I didn't understand the OP, ignore this post

Quote from Crashgate3 :

wat

From what I've read there a few way's for it to cross the virtual to physical boundary, ram and network topology being two

Eureka! ! !

Run another \vm in the VM - do this to infinity, and beyond!!!


on a more serious note - viri infecting the VM will also infect you PC as both share the same RAM - *giggles*should have said nout

...maybe the old C: drive has had it. Get this, swap the 400gb drive for master and leave the original C drive out of the equation.

Boot up the live CD linked above and create a ~15 GB NTFS partition in empty space, then boot the XP install disk selecting the new partition as C.

This disk had over 5 years of family photos and movies, and just short of 30gb of family music, along with various games, dvd movies, programs, C:\ images, etc. (Most of this was backed up couple of months ago on external drive, so not total loss).

erm, I thought you said the 400gb was backup and C: was the OS drive - I iz now confuzed(unless the C:\images folder properties was set to be located on 400gb drive???)

Is there an event log within LFS that I can view?

LFS looses connection to host after one minute or so and I need to see network info at time of disco as the network here is busy but I've never had trouble up until now - if I had network info for LFS I can see any conflicts on my end.

thank you.

LMAO!

Would be very annoying on a Sunday morn after a night on the beer to have fifty of them behuaaaaaah !

...and just imagine the costs to the 'users'?
