- jpdugan 17y agoSorry. Bit more traffic than our corner of the Internet is used to getting. Working on it.

- jpdugan 17y agoThanks for that. The resizing task at Rackspace Cloud has been at 98% for 30 minutes. Awesome.
- mdinstuhl 17y agoOur central location won't hurt either. I will get behind this initiative but only if it include a provision to add running blue lights up the corners of the pyramid like some gamer's modded chassis.
- Groxx 17y agoThat's a pretty good idea... granted, my city did just rename a street to Google something-or-other (I forget) in an attempt to out-suck-up other locations and I'd LOVE to get it, but that pyramid would be iconic and high-profile. Something along those lines might just win, especially if they went for renewable energy.
- clavalle 17y agoDoesn't the Mississippi flood in spectacular fashion once in a while? In a contest between the Great River and the World's Largest Datacenter, there is little question of the victor.
- rbranson 17y agoNot on the bluff side, fortunately. It would have to basically double in measurement to even come close to jeopardizing the Pyramid.
- seanb 17y agoSo the idea is to turn a large empty building into a datacenter.. How is this interesting or original? Google asks what new business types would become possible given a lot of bandwidth, and you answer "datacenters!" ... Why does this sort of thing get attention?
