While some folks may require access to servers from unpredictable locations, I bet many are like me and only need access from some specific locations. A firewall rule allows you to drop SSH requests versus exposing an open port and putting a sign out saying "SSH here, I dare you to try and break in".
Stealth is better.
If the camera on the plane beams that video to the US, then a pilot reacts to whatever obstacle he's about to fly into and his control signals work their way back to the plane, while the plane is moving at 100's of mile an hour, I would expect some issues.
Technology like this operates under the assumption that ALL users are criminals until proven innocent and blatantly violates the 4th amendment(in the U.S. at least).
I don't see how monitoring assumes all users are criminals. Do police speed traps assume all drivers are speeders?
I got things to work better by tweaking the thread scheduler to deadline, tweak 'swappiness' and some others I don't recall. Took days of research.
It still has occasionally Gnome UI lockups but it's usable now. I didn't treak XP at all to get concurrent processes without GUI lockups.
I'm sticking with Linux for a number of reasons, but performance on my quads is not one of them.
If we take this "pay if you like it" concept and apply it to movies and plays, you would only pay on the way out, and only if you choose to. Downloading a movie or book from the Internet and paying later, maybe, is the same thing IMO.

Sorry to be harsh. I did the same thing. But after reading the electronic versions, I understood what all the fuss was about and went and got a paperback version so I could enjoy the writing and admire the artwork without sitting in front of a computer, and also so Moore and Gibbons received whatever royalties they still get from the sales of their original work. They deserve it.
To be clear, you're saying people should only pay to read a book, see a movie, etc, if they end up liking it?
