And if I read the pages correctly, NASA's probe still works, while India's stopped working after a year.
thank you, come again...
If I have a problem that can be solved by a $90 tool and the store only offers me a $583 one that not only will solve my problem but also 10 other problems I don't have then I would probably go to another store.
If my customers want me to develop something that should have a development cost of about $90k and I only offer them a solution for $583k that I think will be a better solution then they are likely to go somewhere else. (And probably not come back.)
Overengineering is a huge flaw and a lot of the times it's even preferable to deliver a subpar/faulty but inexpensive product than delivering something that works well but does and cost way too much. (Yes, marketing is all about talking about quality but you can talk about it all you want, customers will still buy the cheapest product that solves their problem.)
The vehicle control-buses alone can generate thousands of messages per second, but if you don't want to go overboard, you might be tracking maybe 64 values on per-second basis. Oh, and naturally you have hundreds of trucks in the fleet, say you're a relatively small operator with 250 trackable vehicles. At bare minimum you're looking at something like vehicle-id, timestamp, flags and data per each item. This would be roughly 2k per row on a naive database, or half a megabyte for whole feet. Times the seconds, coming to whopping 14 gigabytes per day even if they're only in use 8 hours a day on average. In a year, you'll amass 5 terabytes of data.
I work on (part of) a vehicle tracking system, and the volume of data we actually send OTA is a fraction of what you describe there. I'm not saying your example isn't appropriate, but you have somewhat overestimated the data volumes. Then again, we don't send video data OTA - I doubt the mobile networks would be happy if we did so.
Of course, because one of the most popular and influential pieces of literature ever written (and studied in schools) is the same as a piss-take zombie movie aimed at adults.

More importantly, how are tablet uses going to press the Windows key when they don't have a keyboard?
Same way the phones do - with a Windows button.
I still don't know how to exit metro applications.
Did you try Alt+F4? You know, the shortcut that's worked for over a decade and a half (maybe longer)?
In the U.S., Pennsylvania alone has enough privately held weapons to overthrow the government.
I don't think 9mm pistols work very well against Apache gunships.
Add the British car industry to that list too. And no, building Hondas in Swindon doesn't count.

Come on mods, send this to the fiery bowels of Hell from whence it came.
Coward!
Squirrel! :)
About as useful as a barbecue made of ice.
And how are we measuring the size? What sizes are measured for typical 'big data'?
To quantify it's bigness would be doing it a disservice!

Sounds like a poor contraction for "misinformation". How poetic.
How To Kill A Joke 101
I don't see anything wrong with verbing a noun, and I'm British.
Last Saturday, I bought a switch with no lever, but a rocker. That was a double-pole-double-throw. See, not all thrown switches have levers :P
Musta missed that update. Either that, or I auto-unchecked the box without really noticing what it was exactly.
Then explain why all switches are specified as x-pole x-throw :P
I would not worry about a mad physicist building a death star.
Unless he shields all the exhaust shafts.
Anything that does not kill you may eventually lead to a Nobel Prize.
How about 'There's no chance of a resonance cascade'?
Good point, but surely most people use gym = gymnasium?
Good news everyone! NASA will only have to wait half as long to find out if their software upgrade worked!
Now read that in Farnsworth-voice...
You must be using the wrong updaters - neither Adobe nor Java attempt to install third party shite. Not the ones I've used anyway.
