hey to each their own. i know i sure as hell won't shell out for logmein or this service. it all depends on your use case. i've already fiddled with my ddwrt router to get an ssh tunnel into my network so all i have to do is set the tunnel and i'm good to go. but for someone who either a doesn't have a second machine,…

yes it's easy, but then you're stuck pulling off your machine at home. i don't know what your upload speeds in a residential neighborhood are, but mine are terrible and I'm going to assume its the same for 99% of ipad owners. Instead of paying for logmein, why not pay these guys and get access to a machine that's…

not of vpn / rdp and not remotely. average ipad user doesn't understand firewalls or network tunnels, let alone methods of securing such traffic. the second you go outside your home network rdp because increasingly difficult to implement and secure.

oh my god... nutella... burnt marshallow, two of my favorite forms of sugar... in a fking milkshake with a hot chic??? o.. m.. g...

if anon is the only one that can feasibly do this, i'd sleep better at night. well i dont lose sleep over it anyway, but china is far more likely. china at least would have the resources / financial backing to pull it off. but even so, the amount of coordination and intrusion and varying tactics required would put the…

"ton of people"? Relative to what?

correct. your actual desktop wouldn't be nearly as good as this, because your actual desktop is connected via your house which has (mostm likely) really terrible upload speeds. Their servers are connected to the net by backbone probably which is why it can even be considered.

those are great questions and is exactly what i was wondering, what are the storage limits etc too?

yea but you have what? vmware? and a server to run it on? and you have to maintain that set up and that server and that hardware and the networking...

its someone else's host machine instead of your own (and you dont have to worry about the networking components)

i think its the stabalization that's so impressive. Look at the monitor in the background when they shake the balloon, i'm blown away by that kind of stabalization.

Stuxnet someone had to breach the network physically. They had to get the virus in there via jump drive. Then my impression was the virus autonomously targeted the centrifuge and it's set points. Changing a set point via DCS wouldn't be all THAT hard to do, and if done bypassing the built in DCS safety measures, could…

i'm in the power industry and can tell you first hand that no company would be as stupid as to set up their critical systems in such a way that they could be compromised remotely. Just like stuxnet, you'd have to first get physical access and then have something to attack. Simply putting something that bricked the…

short answer: it's not. Longer answer: any company that connects its critical systems to a network that isn't physically isolated as well is not following industry best practice and should be sued beyond oblivion, should service be interrupted in such a manner.

This is so bogus. I worked in control systems for power plants for a couple years and can tell you that none of the systems critical for operation are connected to the internet. Even the systems that link generation stations to each other and the grid and power pools are kept on separate lines. Then there's another…

haha very funny love the cleese

i don't get it... a private hunting preserve... so hunting there should be legal... trespassing on their preserve would be illegal no? I'd be surprised if the hunters didn't shoot it down and go get it and fetch the hard drive etc out of it.

hey i live in KS and i take offense to that... oh wait... no nevermind yes its flat and boring as anyone will say.

that's silly. i thought we were talking about sensuous people needed food and drink and pleasure?

yes now that you mention it i'm starving. and very thirsty... beeeeeeeerrrrrsssss after work!
