Hi !

http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/

.......AWS Hosted Public Data Sets provide a convenient way to share,
access, and use public data within your Amazon EC2 environment. Select
public data sets are hosted on AWS for free as an Amazon EBS snapshot.
....Common use cases for these public data sets would include
scientific research, academic studies, and market research. Our goal
is to provide easy access to commonly used public data sets like the
human genome, astronomy data, and the United States census
information......

The implications of this technology are tremendous !

......For the first time in the history of human kind, regular people
from home can do the sort of high performance computing that had been
previously limited to major governments and corporations. If we are
truly in living in the information age, then you can think of this as
the information age on steroids, or information age 2.0.......

Welcome to the future folks ! And thanks to Linux and virtualisation !
