Earthquakes to Knock Out the Dot Com World?
from the fear-in-Silicon-Valley dept
Every few months someone somewhere writes an article about how an earthquake will knock out all these companies in silicon valley. Admittedly, it is a potential problem, but I do believe that folks out here are more equipped to deal with it than everyone believes.

I keep forgetting
I’m so glad I have Wired, Salon, and a few others to remind me that all technology, the entire internet, and all the world’s smart people are based in the Bay area.
It starts........with the ground shaking
The “end” will start with the ground shaking…weee.
I welcome it.
As for “the Bay”, nice place. I am not sure why EVERYONE wants to move there, I mean, if you consider what it takes to be a .com, Reedly, CA [pop 15,000] would be FINE. All you need is bandwidth. And with housing costs of 400$ for a 2bdroom, wow. I am in [city] and my studio is 400$ w/ a discount. When I get my .com ready…it will be in my bedroom, cheap and easy, just drop the T1 by my pillow. I mean, hiring all your coders, server guys, and CSR people….a bedroom sounds like a great place to start.
