If you are developing something for a general audience, I would highly recommend against Silverlight as you immediately cut out Linux users.

Well 6 million watched the Olympics on NBC, which used a silverlight player. So at least 6 million. I've never seen exact stats, but you can be pretty certain that it is pretty small still.
Also, there is an implementation of silverlight for linux called [moonlight][1].

If you want an ASCII-based approach, take a look at integrating [FIGlet][1]. You could make some custom fonts and do some font selection randomization per character to increase the entrophy. The kerning makes the text more visually pleasing and a bit harder for a bot to reverse engineer.

IDE's will probably be "off the cloud" for a long time, if ever... powerful customizable editors like Emacs will also probably stay "off the cloud" for a while. |
There's no reason that many corporations will move to an online system simply because of security concerns.
For example, One of the greatest assets of Outlook is to go offline and continue working. Sure Google Gears has similar functionality, but then you're trusting Google with your corporate security. |
I can recommend DBPro which is part of Visual Studio Team Edition. Have been using it for a few months for storing all parts of the database in Team Foundation Server as well as for deployment and database compares, etc.
Of course, as someone else mentioned, it does depend on your environment and price range. |
Video editing and other resource intensive tasks will probably stay off the cloud for a long time. |

Imagine a sector of data on the physical disk. Within this sector is a magnetic pattern (a strip) which encodes the bits of data stored in the sector.

The rough estimate version of this issue that I learned is that 32-bit floats give you 5 digits of precision and 64-bit floats give you 15 digits of precision. This will of course vary depending on how the floats are encoded, but it's a pretty good starting point. |
