Might I on behalf of slashdot, convey my deepest sympathies to the people of Sweden.
I have to be off to make a tinfoil hat, because I suspect there will be some people around here who will think this is a great idea and want to see it here.
Bye from Australia...
that's not what "ironic" means. Quoth Wiki: Dramatic (or tragic) irony is a disparity of expression and awareness: when words and actions possess a significance that the listener or audience understands, but the speaker or character does not.
So if they stop making cameras, and other companies take up the responsibility (like turntables), this will probably mean that sometime in the near future when people start adopting digital cameras on a large scale, the price of film will dramatically increase, as it did with vinyl?
Wow, the dawn of a new technological age...which is also what they would have said when film cameras were being pushed.
Fahrenheit is a great scale for normal humans, or most of the population. What about the rest of the world?
For you guys in North America you might be OK with judging 0 as cold and 100 as hot. But if you ever come to a place like Australia, you will notice that we live our summer months at well over 100F, and in winter it doesnt drop anywhere near 0F.
Celcius is a good scale, as wherever you go water will freeze and boil at around the same temperature, or not far off. But the Fahrenheit scale is simply no use to those who dont live in temps from 0-100F.

Sounds like irony to me.
If a shipping container can be a datacentre, this room definitely can.
