Thanks for the update, Matt.
Three years ago, only one corporation had bunkered down.
Capitalism continues to drive the development of IT systems, and IT is already
protected better than the human life that engenders it. Doesn't bother me... I
prefer artificial intelligence to natural stupidity.
Here's the article from three years ago.
Network News - 23rd September 1998
http://www.thebunker.net/net_230998.htm
One company is so serious about data security it has bought an abandoned
nuclear bunker in southern England. Its aim is to store corporate data on
secure servers 300 feet underground. London - based A.L. Digital has purchased
a former military facility, which it said is as impervious to electronic
eavesdropping as it is to the electro-magnetic pulse of a nuclear attack. The
centre has been set up to cater for companies wanting to house their most
critical data in a safe environment.

Useless hypotheses, etc.:

Everything that can happen has already happened, not just once,
but an infinite number of times, and will continue to do so forever.
(Everything that can happen = more than anyone can imagine.)
