Best move the servers out of the office where I work then, the building shakes when lorries drive past.

Interesting, Mitch. I wonder if we'll see changes to 'domestic' cases as a result.

[pctech]

I think it'll be mainly in data centres and corporates Rik.

Hmmmm, interesting theory I could put to the powers that be at work as our main server based business application runs like a dog most of the time.

[Rik]

Shame. Let's hope that, eventually, it spills down to our levels.

It doesn't mention the effects on a single drive through. I wonder if they are similar?

[Technical Ben]

Could just coat the floor in this stuff. (I do not recommend any supplier, just the first google link). They use similar stuff on submarines to make them silent apparently.

[Gary]

Maybe that's why I cant read books and write so well these days, as I have the shakes?

[Rik]

We can give you two coats before lunch, Gary.
