[Gnu-arch-users] the network is the computer (where's the OS?)

So, you get a nice virtual computer if you combine the I/O and 
compute capabilities of standard browsers with a host-independent,
globally distributed, transactional and secure file system.

Revc gives most of the file system and UIOS (remember that?)
spells out most of its API.

A nice os for this emergent Internet-as-computer can be built
out of a message-passing infrastructure.  UFLDR (remember that?)
is a nice router/buffering-system for messaging infrastructure.

The performance characteristics of this environment are weird
compared to workstations but useful nonetheless.

There's *so* much to do in this direction.
