As every technology literate reader will know, there is little to learn about the cloud computing service-based model of IT delivery from 14th century Sardinian legal codes and laws.
\nAt least, that\u2019s what I thought until I spent a break on the island this weekend and read about the \u201cCarta de Logu\u201d citizens charter of rights, which was laid down somewhere around 1392 by everyone\u2019s favorite late medieval Italian legislator and warrior Marianus IV of Arborea.
\nThe Carta de Logu provided the rights for Sardinian women to refuse marriage and to own property.
\n\u2026 stay with me, we\u2019re almost there.
\nThis decree meant that many Sardinians had an option to buy land, but the men were still fairly bullish and machismo about the way the law was implemented, so many of the women\u2019s purchases had to be confined to coastal areas rather than the interior land, which was rich in farmland and livestock grazing.<\/p>\n
