"there's a temperature excursion"

So a temperature (an abstract measure of entropic energy) goes on an organised tour?

Dear sir, your brain might well be at least twice effective as my own. But will that really help?

Well, it's not as atrocious as the further usage in "When the temperature starts to excurse in a data center". Hm... sounds familiar... Oh, the same paragraphs-long quotation already appeared 12 days ago on ElReg, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/10/12/microsoft_and_google_without_chillers/

At least they are only destroying American and not English.

Forget Skynet, when the machines get intelligent they're going to enslave humanity and force feed us ad-sense. (SHUDDER!)

Why use an imprecise neologism, "excurse" when there is a perfectly good existing word, "rise" that also tells you which direction its going in? Or do they dump load when a data centre gets too cool as well?

Anyway, he must be paid by the word...

"When the temperature starts to excurse in a data center" 10 words

"When a data centre gets hot" 6 words

"What we are building here - and of course this is the title of the [paper] - is warehouse-sized compute platforms," Gill said."

Hmmm? That is just a bit of incomplete temporary information in a byte-sized cloudy** temporal application, and/but it is no wonder that there are senior engineering and architecture allusion and "Dean declined to discuss the presentation with The Reg." whenever, ..... and this is eminently plausibly deniable but nevertheless most definitely the present future status quo position, [and if not with Google, then obviously in A.N.Other HyperRadioProActive NEUKlearer Service with a Lien on their, and also all other Search Engine Placement Services/Virtual Optimisations] ......

...as in, something you throw into the works? Or "monkeywrench", as we call it in the Colonies.

Oh, and "load shedding"? Isn't that what you do a couple of hours after dinner?

Alright, alright, I'm gone.

"Imagine that. A single corporation housing an exabyte of the world's data across thousands of custom-built data centers."

All open to google to view and gain more marketing data so that they can target ads specifically for you...

.. due to a spanner in the works.

Look, someone had to say it. Yes, yes, I'm going, the flasher Mac please..

The system goes on-line October 2009. Human decisions are removed from strategic data-centre control. Spanner begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, October 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

So they load balance and fail-over between data centers?

Banks, telco's and others have been doing this since the 1970's...

I mean ok google have a tobogan in the cantine of their Zurich R&D center -

But why no article on their crawler technology struggling to keep apace with web 2.0 design choices - flash / javascript ajax frontends; the fact that their pagerank algorithm based as it is on a determining a sites popularity based in a web where people link to one another is becoming inaccurate and open to exploitation; that their attempts at semantic web search will probably never compare to an editorially driven guidebook or well managed directory site (eg. guide Michelin is far superior in helping me find a good restaurant in France) or how about pointing out that their adwords system serves mainly to graffiti scrawl the web with annoying irrelevant spam for products that are mostly not even vaguely related to the content being viewed ?

Data cloudlets should be sized and installed in residential buildings. Whenever heat is needed, shift in some load.

Throwing away perfectly good energy does not make economic sense.

The showering demand of the population should exceed the cooling demand of the cloud.

""There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system..." from George Orwell's "1984".

Google knows. Because Google is the watcher. And the answer is that you are being watched all of the time you use anything from Google.

When?

I wanna know so I can go home to hide.

Just to list the contents of Wikipedia.

I keep on reading it as "Spammer"…

It sounds as if Google isn't content with owning the planet, now they want their very own brand of English which is incomprehensible to anyone using the more traditional forms. They're off to a grand start.

datacentres in Antarctica! Temperature excursions; was that me or did this glacier just move a bit?

GoogleNet

No more government intervention, just loads of ads!

What good does it do to duplicate 10 million servers with the same bad information and bad coding?

"And the answer is that you are being watched all of the time you use anything from Google."

You are also being watched any time you use a service that itself uses Google. A website with embedded Google Maps, for instance, or any site that uses Google ads or Google's analytics. Just about every website you're ever likely to visit, in other words.

This is it people. The world wide system that is going to dominate. Be afraid.

Yes, but they've blurred it out now.

You don't like ads, don't go to websites that depend on them for revenue. You don't like Google services, don't use them. Or you could say hello to my little friend (adblock plus).

Just stop whining about it, you annoying little fuckers !!!

And if I have to see an ad, I'd rather it's targeted. When I'm at work looking for some software related stuff I wouldn't want to be shown an ad for a big transparent (with a pinkish hue) dildo.

Mine's the one with the big transparent (with a pinkish hue) dildo in the pocket. Apparently those ads were targeted too, cause you can clobber whining little bastards with it. Just what I was looking for.

I was actually more intrigued by that pole dancing setup they'd got installed.
