Of datacentres and supercomputers

I came across this article about the snazziest datacentre in the world, built 30 metres below downtown Stockholm, designed to survive a Hydrogen bomb, and with artificial waterfalls and real plants, this place rocks. Take a look.

While we are on the topic of Europeans doing crazy shite, the MareNostrum supercomputer at Barcelona is actually located inside a chapel. Go figure.
