Who Says Data Centers Aren't Cool?
from the a-little-visual-porn dept
Ah data centers. They may seem like a rather boring concept, but Data Center Knowledge recently put together a rather long list of some of the coolest data center video tours including Google's infamous data center:Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Indeed. But, no one said otherwise. The only mention of colo was in the second video, which is a colo.

Nitpickers Of The World Unite
When a noun is used as an adjective, I thought the usual English convention is to use the singular form, not the plural one. Thus, “car yard” for a yard selling cars, even though they’re probably offering more than one for sale. And “animal hospital”, even though the hospital more than likely is treating more than one animal.
Therefore, “data centre” should be “datum centre”. And “multimedia database” should be “multimedium datumbase”!
So there!

Re: Nitpickers Of The World Unite
also, 'multi' pluralizes 'medium' anyway, so i think there's just some natural agreement going on there.
of course, i may just be feeding trolls here, but this kind of thing interests me :)
more on topic: yes, those data centers do look pretty shiny.
