Yes, exactly.
I do a lot of so-called "cloud" computing, but since I have my own hosting account, and wrote all the software that I use, I'm not locked in. I have had several occasions where the hosting company had a server go down, and that was an inconvenience to be sure, but I solved the problem by mirroring the account on another server. If someone starts dropping nuclear bombs I may be in trouble.

Avoid lock-in Posted Oct 8, 2008 23:18 UTC (Wed) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] Yes, like failing servers will be our biggest trouble if someone starts dropping nuclear bombs... You do realize that DSL lines would probably go down, right?
