A bit bloomin' rich coming from Turnbull, who is doing his best to hobble the broadband system we need for the cloud to make any sense.
Turnbull: Box-huggers are holding back cloud
Dimension Data has announced it will soon offer a government-only cloud hosted in Australia's capital city, Canberra.

Understanding Turnbull
The first thing that you've got to understand about Turnbull is that he's a c*nt.
The second thing that you've got to understand about Turnbull is that he's a self-interested c*nt.
The third thing that you've got to understand about Turnbull is that he's a very patient self-interested c*nt - he's got a long-term plan, and he knows that people have short memories, so all he's got to do is be the most acceptable man at the right time and he's in.

I trust my linux boxen.
I choose to not have external access to my home machine for security reasons.

Corporations just can't let go and allow properly distributed peer to peer.
They would loose control of everything and give up control to the masses.
I don't trust corporations.
