Another one of those large random posts...

Not-so-secret nuclear bunker

This video contains phrases such as '2 exabytes' and '1 to 10 terabits per second'. You shouldn't need any more persuasion to watch it. Emoticon - wink.png

Is there a connection between this and this, or is it just coincidence?

Look at the projected population of Ireland. If things has gone differently, Ireland could have had a population similar to England today...
This article fails to mention that the end of the long-term population decline in the west of Ireland is caused almost entirely by the recent and ongoing influx of Polish people. The article also discusses where the blame lies for the Great Irish Famine. I don't blame anyone - random things like famines and pandemics happen. However, it is not unreasonable to say that England has benifitted recently from the lack of people in Ireland - imagine how much Ireland could have challenged England's power with a population of over 10 million.

Clearly I'm starting to dream already - I should get to bed...
