bottom of second bullet - it is just a location thing. (aws.amazon.com)

Responses:

gotcha. Jax, if Northern California makes sense to you (as you said on bwhatever), then Northern VA is equivalent. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 10:30 9
- To people in the other 49 states, I'd think "Virginia" would suffice in location. California is 800 miles N to S. Virginia is 200. - JaxSean Apr 21, 10:57 4
  - Apparently it means something to network people. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:11
  - It's totally a "you gotta be here" thing - Will Hunting Apr 21, 11:03 1
    - Seriously, have you SEEN state politics? I don't want to be associated with that freak show. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 11:12
  - (Like, would "N.W. Virginia" be in the northern part of west virginia, or northwest virginia?) :) -- nm - JaxSean Apr 21, 10:58
- also, from wiki: "Northern Virginia's data centers currently carry more than 50% of the nation's Internet traffic." -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 10:33 3
  - ...and vehicle traffic! Well, it feels like it sometimes. -- nm - samara Apr 21, 10:48 1
    - hi sam!!! yeah, especially lately. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 10:54
  - *recomputes targets* -- nm - Skynet Apr 21, 10:35
