I'm going to have to place a biased vote for Las Vegas. That way I could drive down and watch my Linode's behind a pane of glass like a nursery in the hospital... gootchy gootchy koo!

Followed by a little brisk gambling to make next months bill...

Expand Freemont!

I am guessing Oregon, Australia and Germany.

You could even bet on the Linodes. "How many Linodes on the glass datacenter?"

I'm going for Australia, but then I'm personally biased to one :)

Not true...I am roughly 450 feet farther away from Earth's core than is Miami.


To be really pedantic, we can't actually send IP packets to the Earth's core, so the latency would technically be the same to all locations on the planet's surface (i.e. infinity).

Pity it couldn't be Guam\Hawaii or a similar island

Close to Asia\Australia [another biased user :) ] with decent connections in and out of them

Ahh but if there was a pipe going to the core the packets would go faster because gravity would pull them down quicker...everyone knows that :wink:

I have a feeling that the magnetic core might be bad for electronics.

Ugh, the asymmetric latency would screw up NTP. And you'd have to make adjustments for relativity, too... No thanks!

I really hope we get one with better latency to NZ... i get 200ms to fremont which isn't bad but 100ms would be great.

No way! NTP can handle it as long as it's consistent.

We need an Asia data center.

I preferred Taiwan, but Japan or Korea is okay for me!
