Re: Cloud Computing with Octave

[Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso]

The marketing term "cloud computing" is a bit stupid, not to mention nebulous:

I'm not exactly sure how this is forbidden, from AIUI, EC2 is just a
rented computer somewhere. You can ssh into it and run your Octave
code there, but you can just as easily also run it in your local
machine. I don't see the advantage of running it in some arbitrary
remote machine in the US. Are no other machines available to you to
run your code? Have you managed to get it running locally at all?
