Comment Re:Private cloud (Score 1) 141

Cloud is big data tables distributed across geographic locations to ensure not only optimum uptime but optimum response time. If you just have a server farm in Dallas, TX, that's not a cloud, no matter how big your data tables are. But if you have them in every locale (not necessarily same city but local as far as bits go) to each office accessing it, and they all share/propagate data intelligently across the big tables, that's a better definition of a corporate cloud. It's just that this kind of architecture is difficult and expensive to do, so it's usually done by 3rd parties.

Comment Re:Bush did what? (Score 1) 351

Bush != Republicans. Bush is a republican. All of Al McHogan is dead, but only some of the class of dead people are Al McHogan. Listen to people talk, and it is not an unfair generalization that they (a) don't understand science and (b) don't support science. However this can be said of democrats. The issue, is that they pursue policy that is diametric to science... which most democrats don't. The party affiliation does not equal a specific politician.

Pre-teen is hebephilia, but it's just as illegal and just as despicable. Your brain doesn't fully develop risk analysis on average till you're 25. Cause and effect is tough for a pre-teen's brain. They are not equipped psychologically or physiologically to handle that. Sexualizing minors is a problem on the internet. As an older guy, even those under 25 are young to me... not because of an age gap of a decade, but because their minds are still developing... not to mention the lack of experience that comes with being so young. Things were different when the average life expectancy was 40, but we don't live in those times anymore. Women aren't promised to men at age 13 and immediately expected to have children. That kind behavior is considered more barbaric than the medical technology of the time.
