"Though research on the safety of manual transmissions is scant", I insist my evidence devoid but highly emotional claim must be true.

Before the flint, people were far less prone to create wildfires. Before the wheel, no one ever killed another person by shoving a bagel down their throat. Before the printing press, well..

While I haven't tried Crouton, I've been able to get quite a lot of Development work done on my Chromebook thanks to tools like Cloud9. If you opt-in to the dev channel for ChromeOS, updates start coming in much faster (and generally very stable at that).

Just look at the site: davidgcohen.com. The email (and subsequent link) is a pure ruse. No one with any technical competence would email such a person.

I asked the same question of TorrentFreak a few years ago:

to Christopher Hi Christopher,

No, I never heard of something like that, but I like the idea There is http://www.coralcdn.org/, but that's not a complete solution

Cheers, Ernesto

Have you seen anything of the like?

Sadly, I haven't seen any substantive leaps since. Even TPB's recent cloud move is entirely predicated on moving a single, virtual instance about.

Edit: Personally, I see this as the most important problem to solve for a free Internet in the next 20 years. Distributed DNS against distributed content is going to be critical.

Yep.
