Because depending on the size of what you are running PaaS can be very expensive.

Aren't they still applicable to SOPA if they are .com .net .org .us domains such as homeland security taking down domains previous example shows.

At least for this website it isn't your data but it is their data.

They are backing up their curated photos (which seems to pretty much be the whole business as they say in the article).

It appears they are using Akamai services to server their images so hopefully their is some extra redundancy there already.

Other than that it seems like it would be a steal to use s3 as a backup system at this point because from this article it looks like they need to hire another employee to tell them why this backup solution seems a bit silly (I mean having trouble setting up the hardware).

How realistic is it for these things to actually happen though, the only seemingly realistic thing is the DOS attack.

I'm not saying it isn't smart I am just wondering if you have any examples of the others actually occurring.

For amazon cloudfront at the most expensive tier it buys close to 42 GB but then there would be no profit in sending the file 34 times (someone said it was a 1.2 GB file).

It makes sense to me why he is only allowing a few downloads otherwise a few extreme users could take up all his money just by streaming.

It is immature it is dumb but I can tell you this there are plenty of college kids that would live for games like this.

Drinking is immensely popular in many colleges and drinking games are one of the most common forms of college drinking (see beer pong and others).

The real problem is that their really isn't a shop that wants to carry a game like this I would think if there were a novelty shop it might be the best bet (maybe spencer's gifts style) it is just there are so few of these kind of shops that the market reach for this kind of game is limited.
