Can reading a book the wrong way end up with you or the people around you suffering direct serious injuries? Can a kid come across your book and accidentally kill his buddy when they're reading it together?

I'm not saying you can't have your gun, I'm saying it's more dangerous to be in a house with a gun - the same way it's more dangerous to drive in a car than work from home. Some people find the risks acceptable.

I think many will follow when the first mayor cloud-outage or data breach has occurred

Or they may move to the cloud when their P3 running the in-house services fails and they don't have a proper backup system, or gets hacked.

You have to remember that not all businesses have the money for proper infrastructure, security, and staffing, so if the cloud can do all of that for cheaper, and reduce the points of failure to only the internet connection (though only failure to connect to it, not data loss), they're going to see that as a major benefit over managing their own system.

I know we've had some downtime when a older source control machine went down and there were no spare power supplies on hand to fix it (small company).

I was watching Iron Man on TV not too long ago and saw a similar thing - but even better they put all these "DVD extras" in the middle to give away the next scene and explain the previous one - entirely ruining the story of the movie.

The best part was when they spent a while explaining how a scene was done and how the actors felt, then had to cut the scene to save time on TV.

Breaking the movie up that much just makes it not an enjoyable experience.
