Why are you here?
It ain't the money. A network engineer, yours truly -- I rake in about, what, 85 grand a year? You can't buy a decent sports car for that.
It ain't sex. Hey, being here won't get you laid. Oh, you're a dental hygienist? I'm a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert. -Hello?!
What about fame? Our failures are known. Our successes...are not. That's the company motto. You save the world, they send you to some windowless office, give you a little lemonade and cookies, and show you your medal. You don't even get to take it home.
So it ain't money, it ain't sex, it ain't fame.
What is it?
I say we are all here in this room because we believe. We believe in technology, and we choose technology. We believe in right and wrong, and we choose right. Our cause is just. Our enemies...everywhere. They're all around us. Some scary stuff out there.
Which brings us here... to the server farm. You have all just stepped through the looking glass. What you see, what you hear -- nothing is what it seems.

H1N1 is believed to have been initially spread from a rather unkempt pig farm in Mexico, hence the swine flu. However, it isn't the fault of the pigs that the place was so nasty, it was the farmers.
So a more appropriate name would be the Dirty Mexican Flu.
Recently authorities have identified patient zero as a pig farmer from Tijuana, Mexico, one Marco Sanchez. Rather than slander all Mexican pig farms, we shoud call it the Dirty Sanchez Flu.

I have a big, fat bottle of provigil thanks to sleep apnea and an unquestioning doctor. With provigil, 48 hours is easy. After 48, I get bored. I typically take it during long poker tournaments or long drives, otherwise, it sits in the drug cabinet in the bathroom.

A Look At Google's Newest Data Center 75
miller60 writes "Google doesn't allow the public inside its secret data centers. But a recent groundbreaking event at the company's new South Carolina data center provided glimpses of the exterior of the facility, which shows a design that has evolved since Google's Oregon data center made front page news. A new feature: an open, lighted area resembling a parking deck (containers?). Still missing: moats filled with sharks with friggin' laser beams on their head."
