Actually I saw Lister make this shot in 1991.

Why cloud?

If I'm building and selling an app on someones app store, I'll have already hired a hosting provider, you know the guys that were cloud before it was cloud.

"A system the customers want?"

Hell prior to a few years ago a cloud was in the sky, not a server in some far away place, some marketing pinhead spoke with a forked tongue to convince people they needed something they had never heard of. Promise the world, contents may differ from images. Real world results may vary.

Gouging, storage costs are less than a dollar a gig these days, you are paying both for that space and the host providers bandwidth to support your use. Gouging.

You seem to be confusing an actual server with a re-purposed computer that corp would write off due to EOL that is re-purposed as a storage server.

So at home while I could never afford that $24k server, I could setup my own data storage server with tons of space seeing how drives are cheap these days. You can even build in redundancy as well as hot-swap if you really wanted to.

While the cloud provider might have better bandwidth, the non-techie may not.

What you trade in physical hardware you make up for in increased bandwidth.

Yeah just incompetent asses left that can't be fucked to wipe their own asses.

Our death will mean theirs.

What good is all their money and power when there are no proles to do their dirty work? It would mean they'd have to do it.

Apparently you don't understand why we have 3 branches of government, it's for that very purpose.

Obama has probably put civil rights back a few decades.

Those affected should be able to sue, there needs to be accountability.

As a US citizen residing in the US, I agree. It's time other countries told the US to fuck off.

Our government is way out of control, and has been for some time.

That possibly doesn't apply to black holes, as their mass is ever changing based on what they consume.

Interesting mechanism thought to limit the amount a black hole can be consumed. Current thinking is that a black hole consumes, giving off energy in the form of jets and we get a quasar. A black hole will consume, and consume and consume some more, but they eventually consume so much that the mass of the black hole and the mass of the matter they are consuming begins to force objects outside of it's pull away from it, think toilet flapper that stops water after a flush. The black hole continues to consume the matter trapped in it's gravity emitting the energy until it's consumed all of the material in it's grasp. It's then thought to go silent or inactive. It's still there waiting for material to fall into it and it'll begin feeding again. This seems plausible otherwise what would stop black holes from consuming everything?

This is the current thinking around black holes at this time.

More proof you can trust your data in the cloud.

Yeah right.

No but it's bad enough pub for the school board that a legal threat over a suspension for something the student rightfully owns may need to be done.
