"The Cloud" is just somebody else's computer that you can't go and kick when it inevitably falls over. The traditional method of making a computer functional again is called Percussive Maintenance. Therein lies the problem: users of cloud services can't maintain their own servers.
My solution is to
have a remote-controlled boot, connected to the Internet via a separate connection, that users can take control of remotely, guide to their server, and give it a swift kick.
Or I suppose you could give them a pokey stick for hitting power buttons instead.

Gives new meaning to "reboot". |

Should absolutely be included in your cloudy service. |

I for one welcome this new Internet of Bovver ... |
|
| |
Ouch. I said I welcome ... ouch! |

The traditional method for repairing a malfunctioning television was always to pound it with a clenched fist, but any remotely controlled impact delivery system is approved. Can the deluxe option offer some kind of haptic interconnectivity? ie you put on a special digitally aware boot and kick a cardboard box around in the privacy of your own home - have this crumb - mine are worth double everyone else's - (note* I am the only person on the HB able to award double croissants!) |

We now know that any idea with fewer than two votes in a particular direction, you haven't voted on. We can also tell those with fewer than two in a given direction, you didn't vote in that direction if you voted. |

Sometimes I use my double vote, but sometimes I just use the single one. It depends on my mood - like I might decide to feed someone to the dogs, or I might decide to feed them toasted marmite sandwiches. |
|
| |
An open pit full of snarling, half-starved sandwiches is a feature no house should be without. |
|
| |
Just make sure they can't get out. |
|
| |
And who among us wields the Double Bone? |
|
| |
This is a violation of the “One man, one bun” tradition. Also, if true, the “One man, one bone” rubric is toast. I see the beginning of the end of true democracy here. |
|
| |
Who’s to say that one may not have 5 buns per vote, or 100? Or who already has them and has chosen to wait for the perfect time to crash the entire system? |
|
| |
All votes are equal, but mine are twice as equal. hahahaha |
|
| |
I think a starving sandwich is thin and dry with minimal contents. It snarls through a hard crust. Its sound is raspy, like the sound of toast being scraped. |
|
| |
So if I read this idea correctly, there's nothing to stop a rival service (or aggrieved user) from kicking the shit out of your servers? |
