I didn't realise fixed instance sizes were a false construct of cloud vendors. Nice little blog post.

That's quite interesting regarding dynamic pricing for on-demand computing. I haven't tried it myself yet but I think I'll give it ago.

Might be worth uploading a standard API/Price RSS feed to GitHub?

I meant an pioneering an open source solution. You are right, there are proprietary (very expensive and complicated) solutions out there that you can use. My point is, when the open source community puts its head together on a problem they usually come out with something that's pretty stable and secure. Both properties are advantageous in file systems and DRDB like storage solutions :-)

For most courses the exams don't stray far from what's already been asked before. Competition between universities has made this problem a lot worse. Students choose courses with high pass rates and favorable grade ratios.

Yes agreed, distributed block storage is definitely the future. Nice to see Linux pioneering this too.

Yes the 14 day trial is a nice touch for Fedora 14! Probably not worth holding out for the next release to get the extra free day :-)

I like having root access, its one of my main gripes with some of the larger cloud vendors I've tried in the past.

PDFs are a pain but they they exist and dare I say it, I'd rather receive a PDF from my Windows brethren than a MS Word document :-(

Having this will make my world just a little bit more convenient!
