I wonder if M$ will do a "Me Too" and float some of their own ships with M$
Data Centers on the high seas. Hmmm, let's see, how about floating them off
the coast of Somalia!?! That is fairly close to the next international
growth center! And with no real government M$ can do all kinds of strange
things with their fee structure, avoid paying taxes, license fees, etc., if
they are within Somalia's coastal limit. What could possibly go wrong?!?

No idea on the cooling. It must be a lot just to fill a trailer full
of racked servers and SAN storage.

I'm going to patent my data center on the moon.
What a stupid patent.

Patent it on the dark side of the moon - the cooling problem will be
solved by its own.

I'll set up some solar panels on the light side and run some power cables around to the dark side.
