Re: cloud fuckers , fuck off
I dunno, they have some useful aspects, like being able to quickly spin up multiple instances to run parallelable workloads. But these should really be transient cases - don't leave stuff up there once the job has finished.
Collaborative working is sometimes useful - multiple reviewers simultaneously commenting on a design, so they don't tread on each other's toes. But that doesn't always work out, and MS has a nasty habit of buggering up my shared design docs and losing all the images therein. So even cloudy collaboration is a double-edged sword.
I draw the usefulness line at long term storage on other peoples' computers. Long term that feels like trouble waiting to happen. If it's not happening already.
