The Cloud: Convenient Until a Stranger Nukes Your Files

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-use-openafs dept.

But that was before he discovered that his Box.com account and all the files in it had vanished without a trace. With tech support coming up empty, Tynan had to put on his journalist hat to track down the bizarre sequence of events that ended with his account handed over to another user, who didn't ask for it and didn't even know who Tynan was."

    "most transparent administration ever"

    Just got to love that whole 'transparency' thing.

    "FARGO – The Obama administration asked North Dakota’s largest health insurer not to publicize how many people have signed up for health insurance through a new online exchange, a company official says."

    Of course this is all Boooshes fault, we all know this.

    And the media just keeps blowing Obama whenever he asks. No one throws shoes at him or even asks him any questions.

    And most of the stupid drones on this super-smart-geek website support this tyranny.

    Fucking fools.
