  1. Re:IPV6? How about an SLA! on Amazon EC2 Now More Ready for Application Hosting · · Score: 1

    Hmmmnn. I been looking. The DB is definitely no SLA. Looks like EC2 and Storage got one, six months ago.

  2. IPV6? How about an SLA! on Amazon EC2 Now More Ready for Application Hosting · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "More ready" is wonderfully relative.

    "Less unready" is just as accurate, and perhaps more precise.

    Without an SLA, EC2 or SimpleDB, or "Head in The Cloud" is an experimental platform.

    He's also a pretty cool guy. His group sponsors big, security awareness events twice a year for MS customers - and these are real sessions, not PR fluff. Bret is friendly and accessible.

    If he's at RSA this year, drop by the MS booth and say hi to him.

    9 Oct. 1962

    I was feeling sick down and blue,
    Didn't know what in the world I was gonna do.
    Them communist they were comin' around,
    They were in the air
    They were on the ground.
    They wouldn't give me no peace.

    So I run down most hurriedly
    And joined the John Birch Society.
    Got me a secret membership card,
    Started walking off down the road.
    Yoohoo, I'm a real John Bircher now.
    Look out you commies.

    Well we all agree with Hitler's views,
    Although he killed six millions Jews.
    It don't matter too much if he was a fascist,
    At least you can't say he was a communist.
    That's to say like if you got a cold
    Take a shot of malaria.

    I was looking everywhere for them goddarn reds,
    I got up in the morning, looked under my bed.
    Looked in the kitchen, behind the door,
    looked in the glove department of my car.
    Couldn't find them.

    I's looking for them reds everywhere,
    Looked underneath the sofa
    Underneath every chair,
    Looked up my chimney hole,
    Looked deep down inside my toilet bowl.
    They got away.

    I was sitting home alone, I started to sweat.
    I figured they was in my tv set.
    Peeked behind the picture frame,
    Got a shock from my feet right up to my brain.
    Them reds caused it.
    I know they did, them hard core ones.

    Well I quit my job so I could work all alone,
    and I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes.
    Followed some clues in my detective bag,
    I discovered there was red stripes in the American flag.
    Poor Betsy Ross.

    Investigated all the books in the library.
    Ninety nine percent of those gotta be burned away.
    Investigated all the people that I know.
    Ninety eight percent of them gotta go.
    The other two percent are fellow birchers
    Just like me. Truly fair.

    Now Eisenhower he's a Russian spy,
    Lincoln, Jefferson and that Roosevelt guy.
    To my knowledge there's just one man
    That's really a true American.
    George Lincoln Rockwell.
    I know for a fact he hates commies
    Because he picketed the movie Exodus.

    Well I finally started thinking straight
    when I ran out of things to investigate.
    Couldn't imagine to do anything else,
    So now I'm home investigating myself.
    Hope I don't find out too much. Great God

    There are blue status lamps on the new range in our kitchen.

    They reflect to where I do the washing-up, 4 meters away. When I glance at the glasses that I have placed on the draining-board to dry, I am continually catching myself.

    "Look, that one's not rinsed properly, and there's a soap bubble inside."

    Nope. It's a blue reflection, glinting off the Duralex. Gets me every time.
