Data below sea level ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

You would think that immersion into a climate and salinity controlled water tank on land would be easier, cheaper, and more robust than sending a data center to the bottom of the ocean.

A data center underwater? Better hope to G-d it doesn’t leak. Plus...you will have the Greenies complaining about how adding the excess heat to the ocean damages the marine environment.

global warming anyone?

besides that, what could possibly go wrong?

Would such a pod be EMP resistant? How shielding is salt water to EMP? I mean it does carry current and would surround the vessel like a Faraday Cage.

It sounds like a reasonable effort when the cooling effect of the ocean will save energy. Where I lost interest was their expecting to power it with wave energy. If they have a backup, wave energy would be OK. If they don’t, it’s foolish.

Also, having something a mile offshore connected by cable makes it susceptible to sabotage for sure. Fill a drum full of explosives with a time delay and sink it.

I thought warming the oceans was bad.

Can someone sic the EPA on these cretins?
