Comments on: A rough transcript of Richard Clayton’s BBC interview http://philwilson.org/blog/2008/01/a-rough-transcript-of-richard-claytons-bbc-interview a geek commodity Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:27:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: groc http://philwilson.org/blog/2008/01/a-rough-transcript-of-richard-claytons-bbc-interview/comment-page-1#comment-1213 groc Sat, 02 Feb 2008 10:25:28 +0000 http://philwilson.org/blog/2008/01/a-rough-transcript-of-richard-claytons-bbc-interview#comment-1213 now for some reason this reminds me of a documentary I watched recently about Nuclear power stations and the near meltdown years ago in Cumbria/sellafield/windscale - whatever. The main problem was that the contractors and developers - under intense pressure from the Govt. built stations that were too big to kept safe in the event of any emergency. You can see the same weird "macho" thinking still at work here - they want *all* the data - *everyone's* data all in the one super-duper-sized database. Of course if they get what they're pressuring for - that too will inevitably go into it's own spectacular meltdown. God - these people are slooooow learners. now for some reason this reminds me of a documentary I watched recently about Nuclear power stations and the near meltdown years ago in Cumbria/sellafield/windscale – whatever.
