Huge Data Center Looks Like a Circuit Board

1sockchuck writes to share a look at Digital Beijing, the data center for the 2008 Olympics. The huge (1.05 million square feet) building was designed to resemble a circuit board from 2 sides and a barcode from the other 2 ground-viewable sides. Looks like the nighttime view of this monster is going to be pretty impressive.

    It is fixed in value relative to the dollar.
    The Yuan is not pegged just to the dollar, it is now pegged to a basket of currencies, of which the USD is a component. (The Euro, Japanese Yen, and South Korean Won are the other major components).
