I also agree that stallman is wrong. According to him cloud computing is only possible by third party companies like Google, Yahoo, Amazon. It is because they are the ones who provide software services of huge volume. They process more data every second than any other companies on this planet. They need a cost effective approach to process large amount of data with available hardware resource and I'm sure cloud computing is the best option. I don't understand why he is missing the point that cloud computing is feasible more because of open source tools like Hadoop, MadReduce. The important aspect of cloud computing is that it is cheap. If user is worried about security, FREEDOM, or relying upon a third-party software vendor for data processing, well, he can have his own setup. -- Regards, Bhuvaneswaran A www.livecipher.com GPG: 0x7A13E5B0 _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
