....: go work for or get your fuel supply from SOMEONE ELSE besides BP.
It does not work that easy. All major brand suppliers make the owners sign long term contracts (5-10 years). If it would be that easy, there would be no BP station right now in US.

Amazon EC2/S3 vs. traditional Webhosting? 3

Tasha26 writes "I was recently asked to name a good webhosting site (and the friend didn't want GoDaddy for some reason), but then I wondered how an Amazon EC2/S3 solution compares (in price or advantage) over traditional web-hosting? Maybe there's a study on it or someone has experience of running a site from Amazon. I looked at the Amazon pricing but it turns out to be a structure: I/O connections, bandwidth, S3, EC2... even if you don't use S3 but your Firefox S3 app. pings to it, you get billed. Too many variables for a straightforward comparison. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks."
