When we are at jokes, here is one on Cloud Computing Security http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjfaCoA2sQk :w00t:

I'm not sure if it's because of my lacking language skills... but all I understood was CLOUDS ...

Is anybody able to tell me what he was talking about?

Well, he's talking about clouds and rain, although he calls the rain "bits" but then, they are "bits" of the cloud, right? Although, I'm not quite understanding about keeping the "bits" from getting moist because those bits in the cloud are water and they are already wet. But maybe he's saying they shouldn't get more moist and that's where the snail mail comes in. :blink:

Does that clear it up for you? :Whistling:

Ok, correct me, if my summary is wrong:

If it's raining a bit from the clouds you can refer to it as "moist".

Normal rain therefore should be named "bytes from the cloud" (=bClouds).

Heavy rain = kbClouds.

Tornado/Monsun = MbClouds.

Right? :w00t:

Side note: I guess it's obvious that SUN by definition will be refused to deliver any hardware for CLOUD computing. :hehe:

Hey! You got it! Glad I could help out with your understanding of Cloud Computing. One other thing I should mention, the temperature of the servers hosting the Cloud Computing is important. Get that temperature low enough, and you go from Clouds to Snow.

Unless you and your clients are prepared for the sudden change, it can cause a bit of upset with your client base, but generally makes the kids happy.

Does SnowFlakeComputing also imply, I wouldn't need a frozen mug to get a cold BIT (German beer brand name)?

Regarding the risk of sudden temperature change: I would actually tell the clients that cloud computing will reduce global energy consumption as well since the data center must not be chilled anymore to avoid the risk of SnowFlakeComputing transformation 😛

I guess I'd get into trouble if I recommended that someone started Lithium treatment, huh?

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Sad when they just won't relent - just keep pushing it. Not good.

Jeff,

Did you really just post:

The actions to take to counter intrusions should always be taken before the attempt at penetration and I'm careful to take those actions.

...? Have you ever been to prison? :laugh:
