shit that makes you want to kill yourself

This is one of the many caveats to the cloud, honestly. I really am a cloud advocate. I think the public / private cloud solves a ton of issues that we had in a pre-cloud world, but I also think it created a bunch of other just-as-bad problems.

The pricing structure for cloud instances is supposed to be and has always promised to be much cheaper and easier to understand than physical devices. This, 99.9% of the time is never true. I always feel nickel-and-dimed to death whenever I leverage the cloud. It truly makes me sad.
The cloud already has a bad wrap, so why do we insist on killing it again? Doesn't quite make sense to me.

I wasn't responding you you, >>6-chan. If I had been, I would have prefixed my post with >>3. I was speaking with >>1-chan; it is custom to omit the citation when addressing the original post (and sometimes the thread in general, but that was clearly not the case here). Are you really so vain as to think that >>4 is about you?
