All their data centres will be in coastal California -- a high-risk earthquake zone. IMO, they should have them spread out to other areas of the U.S. to minimize the risk. |

they should have them spread around the world to minimise risk, not just the one endemic to California. |

California is a very big place. An earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area isn't going to affect Los Angeles or San Diego in a meaningful way and vice versa. |

Granted, California is a big place, but it if it's "The Big One" - a megathrust earthquake -- anywhere along the coast up to British Columbia -- will not escape. I'm very aware of this possibility living on Vancouver Island. These suckers happen every 300 to 500 years -- the last being in 1700. |

Well, if "The Big One" hits then there are more important things to worry about than the internet archive. |

I was thinking more in terms of coporate/government interference. |

TA, Hmmm, a very good point to ponder. But IMNSHO, California relishes the image of "#1 tech state in the world," and meddling in the Internet Archive's affairs would seriously jeopardize that. Besides, the Governator has other matters on his plate at the moment. |

gus, this is the state that wanted to put government controlled thermostats in all the houses, nuff said about letting them deal with anything serious. |

The idea came up, the talking heads floated the idea, and it sank like a brick. Meddling with the Internet Archive will meet the same fate. |

> ...the Governator has other matters on his plate at the moment. It's not just California's government you have to worry about. :( |

Quoting:It's not just California's government you have to worry about. :(Viewing that empirically, the worrying should have started 8 1/2 years ago. |

@tuxtom, flame bait. |
| gus3 Mar 23, 2009 11:07 AM EDT |
tuxtom's right. That's when I, in my tiny cubicle, began an inexorable chain of events, of which you now see the crescendo. Mwahahahahaha... |
| jdixon Mar 23, 2009 11:18 AM EDT |
> ...the worrying should have started 8 1/2 years ago. Oh, much longer ago than that. Or are you forgetting the Communications Decency Act of 1996? Or even farther back, the attempts of the government to shutdown the release of the Pentagon Papers? No single country has even been safe from censorship or even seizure. |

McCarthy, Prohibition, the Hayes Office, pre-Miranda, cramming "under God" into the Pledge of Allegience decades later, etc....for a free country, we sure have a hard time actually having freedom. |

TC: Amen, er, unless amen bothers you. Sheeze. tc, that was for others
among us who ain't happy. Remember: No mater how paranoid or conspiracy minded you are, what your government is actually doing is worse than you can imagine. |
| tuxtom Mar 24, 2009 3:26 AM EDT |
We still have Prohibition, tc. Looks like it won't be for much longer, though. |
| azerthoth Mar 24, 2009 11:17 AM EDT |
@TC & TT, more flame bait ... and intentional at that. |
| tuxtom Mar 25, 2009 3:55 AM EDT |
@azerthoth: Case in point. |
