Yes !!! And what if your data is legal in one jurisdiction traverses a region where that data is illegal? Think privacy/health/etc. I wrote a bunch of posts about these issues over the years.

You have to be worried about where your data is stored, what you are computing with it. No single provider can provide you with everything. You *need* multiple providers. And getting a common API would be wonderful. -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics, Inc. email: [email protected] web : http://scalableinformatics.com http://scalableinformatics.com/siflash phone: +1 734 786 8423 x121 fax : +1 866 888 3112 cell : +1 734 612 4615 _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
