Thanks for this article, Roger.  Something that this has got me
thinking about is data disposal.  We have already had situations in
the past where state governments have disposed of computer systems
with privacy-sensitive data on them.

How do people propose that data will be adequately destroyed in the
cloud?  How do you know, really, where your cloud service provider is
replicating your data to?  How can you ever hope to rein it all back
in?

Cheers, Ben
