Are we discussing the cloud or networks in general?

Networks are great for CLI stuff (e.g., connecting with a terminal emulator via SSH to a big *n*x box -- I do my work like this all the time), but the cloud seems to be a less-rigidly-defined means to deal with "big data".

GUI stuff is, more often than not, nasty over a network. However, X11 does a pretty good job at it, IMO.

a little bit of both..

how would you go about setting up a 'star wars' server?

obviously it would just be plain data storage.

but there was speculation that using some online scripting,

you could do some simple preview cleanup of frames. (i think

'none' suggested that)... and submit some of that back

to the site..

also, you could probably submit avisynth scripts,

and have it run remotely on a faster computer.

and see the results.

i only have access to dual core computers from

about 6 years ago.. so anything more powerful

would be great. i'm not doing any heavy duty

editting, but i can run the software for cleanup.

the other guy have much more powerful computers.

i could use more ram, but at some point i'll upgrade

in the future. however, running windows 7 64bit

works well enough for me with 2 gigs of ram.

it does take a long time to render/convert stuff,

but i'm not in a rush. it's better to get it done right,

than rush through stuff with errors.

Oh, I wasn't talking about setting up a Star Wars server or anything like that.

I was just discussing the cloud vs. network dichotomy.

Edit: Also, I recently noticed that you're a programmer, too. What kind of programming do you do? I work mainly with low-level stuff (e.g., C and assembly).
