Data farms?
This article on the Christmas Eve Amazon cloud farm outage that shut Netflix down States-wide, makes me think...
Not just about the susceptibility of trusting your data to someone else's server, but also if data server farms are here to stay, why aren't we building them here? Is it the seismic risk? I'd have thought our geographical 'isolation' would be a unique selling point.
The Key/English/Joycean way forward has us selling off parts of our power companies when we could be ramping them up for supplying data farms! - if we lose Comalco - shove a server farm down there to use the power... Hell we could repurpose Waihopai as an up/down link, then we might (as a country) get some real return on the millions we've spent and spend on it...

I find What Really Happened a good Random Factory for thought provocation, as well…
this was their, THOUGHT FOR THE DAY! today:"What history truly records is the inherent irresponsibility of all despotisms and the almost inevitable corruption of all forms of government that are not subject to the control of the people …” – Brazilian church statement
