Google Patents 'Tower of Containers'
- stcredzero 16y agoI call prior art. There's some religious group using a stack of about 6 cargo containers as a billboard within sight of I-45 in Houston. I can't spot it on Google Maps -- it's hard to recognize one nondescript rectangle over another.
- scdlbx 16y agoI think there is a difference between stacking cargo containers for use as a billboard and connecting cargo containers to a spine that provides power and cooling, with the purpose of running a bunch of servers inside the cargo containers. Google did not patent stacking cargo containers, but stacking them in a specific way for a specific purpose, with additional resources.
- stcredzero 16y agoI am a little surprised I was taken so seriously or even seriously at all.
- WiseWeasel 16y agoAnd it's easy on the eyes, too! Who wouldn't want one of these marvels of stalinist design near where they live? Yet more evidence that engineers shouldn't try to be architects.
