Survey Reveals a Majority Believe "the Cloud" Is Affected by Weather
SmartAboutThings writes "In a recent survey performed by Wakefield Research, it has been discovered that the majority of the surveyed Americans are quite confused about the notion of Cloud, when it relates to Cloud Storage/Computing. The most interesting fact is that 51% of the surveyed persons thought that stormy weather interferes with cloud computing!"
Surveys suggest most surveys are wrong :)

Or when the rain provides enough interference that you can no longer poorly piggy-back on your neighbor's WiFi.
My sister opened a computer store in Hawaii. She sells C shells by the seashore.
Don't trust the clowd clowns with your data!

In a saner world, we'd just ship all hipsters to Seattle, and be done with them.
Om, nomnomnom...

I certainly won't. Thanks for the tip. One other thing, how do I distinguish clowd clowns from regular clowns?

I was told once by the cable crew who came to fix my cable, that because of squirrels eating at the cable, water had leaked in. As it was a 3 pole run,, some stupid amount of *gallons* of water poured out of the cable.
No, we'd nuke it from the cloud.

I had a cable guy try to tell me that the plasma in a plasma TV was the same as the plasma in human blood. I gave up trying to explain it to him as he was pretty adamant about it. I can only imagine how he thought the manufacturers got it.
Can you really think of a situation that would require you to trust any kind of clown?
Eating at McDonalds?
Elections?
*headdesk* Dammit both are evil. Let me think.

Fuck the cloud. All my data is in Heaven administered by God! Nothing can go wrong. Everything is where it should be. Simply perfect.
Rationalizing disk failure won't bring your data back.
Just wait three days.

I worked in a Fortune 115 company where the VOIP went down, and along with it all incoming calls. Root cause was Squirrel. Yes, the cute furry toothy bitches.
Official explanation was: squirrels had gnawed off the insulation. One particularly unlucky squirrel had successfully penetrated the insulation, fried itself, and everything around it.
Traditional squirrel fry was held, a good time was had by all. Also, 2/3 of this post is true.
