I'm not trolling - but this is hardly a 'weird idea' as the article states ... I thought of this and did it last weekend :) My flatmates harddisk broke down the other day in his laptop, so I put Ubuntu live CD in, a USB stick and hooked up dropbox. A script later, and he's using dropbox for permanent storage online, and considering not buying another hard disk. Of course he will :P .. but my point is that this seems a pretty obvious progression :)
