Buildings with no windows trouble me

Mark is using Posterous to post everything online. Shouldn't you?

Ever see a tall building in the middle of a city that has no windows? It's all brick, or concrete. There's one in Tribeca that seems to be owned by AT+T. Creepy. What's in there? Wires? Computers? Is that our "critical infrastructure" that keeps the United States running and out of the Stone Ages? Does Bruce Willis have to protect us from terrorists going after the stuff in these buildings, like in Live Free or Die Hard??

Buildings with no windows are more secure-both from a physical and an electonic perspective. That is all that should be said in this forum. Set your mind at ease. The resemblance to an inescapable tomb is merely coincidental.
