czei: Sure, a big storm hit and the power went out. Shouldn't Amazon's EC2 hosting service have predicted that might happen and have, maybe, I don't know.... A BACKUP POWER GENERATOR?

"Amazon, you bojo! EC2 hosting services don't work over severe storms! Unless you got POWA!!!"

Gunny Walker: Global warming.

Ugh. I sometimes forget that people frame every discussion about the weather by classifying every event as proof for/against global warming. It's a shame, because there's actually interesting stuff going on right now in a totally-not-related-to-global-warming fashion.

It's like if you wanted to talk about the kinds of food you like or don't like, but all anyone wants to do is classify every ingredient into "fights cancer" or "causes cancer".

Skeptics of what? The Fahrenheit temperature scale? It's hot-as-balls outside right now.

Global warming.
