可以给电脑白痴解释下什么叫云计算么？
@Beya云计算的定义是按需分配计算机资源。比如现在很流行用一个程序通过互联网把无数个终端小电脑整合起来形成强大的云计算机，为一个或者多个任务服务。
@S呵呵，你ms说的是分布式计算的概念吧，云跟这个还不是太一样，据我了解，云一般不用终端小电脑的……
@Fiona云计算本来就是种高级的分布式计算。云计算还包括的一个重要特征（上面没提到），就是能力的伸缩性……
@S云计算确实是分布式计算的一种，不过跟当初分布式计算提出的概念还是有差异，以前是为了利用pc的空闲能力来解决大型计算的问题，而现在云计算是为了降低对pc硬件资源的要求，把很多程序的运行放到了云端，那么云端的要求其实蛮高的，据说是有很多大型机房的建设，会不会利用pc来做分布式计算我还真不知道，呵呵。这是我的理解，也许out了……
@Fiona上面我的确写了“云计算的定义是按需分配计算机资源”
@Fiona😯
@S为什么叫“云”（Cloud），就是因为不需要你知道云层里面的东西是什么数量是多少，只需要知道云能做到什么。
@S还有云雨之欢神马的。
HA！就是天才。我想到的是翻手云覆手雨。也不错哈！
LG经常眼珠子发着绿光嘟嘟囔囔云计算，已经被我呵斥了无数回了。
