I'm actually sort of with the Troll on this one. I mean, definitely do use the cloud, it's a fantastic idea. But don't ever trust it fully. Trolly asked "how much will this cost?" and I'm not sure what he meant but that question is exactly what you need to consider when depending on the cloud. The fact is, the cloud is always running on money somewhere (servers that need upkeep, etc.) even though we don't directly pay for it individually or ever see any cost. So if/when its supporting money goes away, the cloud dissipates and your files go away with it.
Definitely do invest in an external hard drive. You can get 1 TB for less than $100 and if you only need a few GBs then it's super-cheap.

What I meant was I have no real clue about how the system works: do you pay a subscription fee, membership, download software etc? How do they finance it? And instead of Googling and finding out I decided to display my ignorance and laziness for all to laugh at.
Must go Google it now. Maybe. Still, I stand by my asseration that I would never trust a shadowy someone I have never met or conversed with with all my files. Even my own FTP server has all the files on it backed up to various hard drives here, just in case, just in case. "Too big to to fail"? Never believed that, nor should you. Look at Oron and Demonoid...

This is becoming a serious problem in my life. One of my friends literally calls me constantly, I'm not the kind of person to have 2hr long phonecalls. I prefer getting all the information and share mine within literally like 2mins. The other week I was on the phone to her for 15mins and my phone went dead, so she calls my house phone and I speak with her for 1h45m (that's like my phonecall record) I told her in this copious amount of my time I was going to my mate Peters with my brother and about 3 ****ing hours later she calls me again to talk? What am I seriously supposed to do about this. I absolutely love spending time with her but I'm actually avoiding speaking to her because I know I'll get roped into an 18hr phonecall. How am I supposed to tell her gently to stop ****ing stalking me?

My vocabulary consists of "mmm" "mhmm" "yup" "yeah" "no" on the phone to her.

So my friend calls me last night. Apparently he signed his kid up for UFC classes and his kid is a good 4 inches taller then him and outweighs him by 40 lbs easily. So apprently his kid broke his nose last night and beat the **** out of him. He called me thinking i'd rush over and beat his kid up. I said you reap what you sow, good luck with that. Honestly this guy is usually drunk by noon on weekends so he probably mouthed off and insisted on fighting his kid and got beat up. Good times.

He asked if I would come over and talk with him. LOL I said sorry bud i'm busy at the moment. He tried to bait me by telling me his kid said He could take me. I said you must be so proud and told him maybe next time. His kid is scrawny and small compared to me. I would never entertain fighting anyone much less a teenager. I am under the strict philosophy of defending myself when need be, otherwise I will never be in a fight.
