Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
I hate the term “cloud computing” because it denies the duties and responsibilities of network operators and software and database managers.
It’s like a George Carlin bit: “I didn’t breach the data. The cloud did it! It was out in the cloud! How did the government get my private data? It got it from the cloud. The cloud gave the government the data . . . .”
