The Risk of a Meltdown In the Cloud
zrbyte writes "A growing number of complexity theorists are beginning to recognize some potential problems with cloud computing. The growing consensus is that bizarre and unpredictable behavior often emerges in systems made up of 'networks of networks,' such as a business using the computational resources of a cloud provider. Bryan Ford at Yale University in New Haven says the full risks of the migration to the cloud have yet to be properly explored. He points out that complex systems can fail in many unexpected ways, and he outlines various simple scenarios in which a cloud could come unstuck."

There are some things that should be an automatic banning of the poster's IP address. Using the N-word for example. Or saying victims of genocide "deserved it". And comparing being gay to an illness. Just because someone has a right to free speech, doesn't mean that right extends to this privately-owned website.
