...I run most everything not specifically designed to run native on my win7/64 host, in a sandbox instance of xp32/NT/*NIX/whatever. It's really not difficult: install a virtualising engine such as VirtualBox or VMWare, create or download a machine image, and get on with it.
By the way, 32-bit end-user versions of Windows (ie, desktop systems) do not support more than 4GB RAM+4GB swap in native mode. You *may* be able to bump it to 16GB using 4GT and 64GB with PAE (4GT requires that the system already has PAE support), depending on the kernel and system release. There's a slew of tables here.
ooh, you're good. A US gallon is 128 fluid ounces. An Imperial Gallon is 160 fluid ounces. So which standard are you going to measure against?
A pound is... Troy, Avoirdupois, Tower, Merchant or London? Which standard are you calibrating that scale to? It means the difference of up to 25% of mass measure.
Which basic unit are you talking about for byte? OK, the most common usage and the standardised form is the octet (IEC 80000-13), but the original BCD format consisted of four bits (IBM 1956, often referred to as "nibble" or "nybble"), only later to expand to ASCII (7 bits) and 8 bits (EBCDIC).
AT&T's standard may well be proprietery, but if they're sticking their thumb on the scale that's just theft and shouldn't be tolerated. The only way we can be sure is that they release their measure for scrutiny that we might measure it against what's actually going on.
Too Good To Be True. It used to be that an inventor gets a patent then approaches a company to market the product. When did it change to crowdfunding (whatever the hell that is - sounds like tincup begging to me) with a promise of no return beyond being first in line for a product that right now only exists as a sequence of numbers on a spinning disk? Excuse me if I come off as arrogantly skeptical, but that's what life has taught me - if you leave yourself open to be shat on, then you will be shat on.
you have mechanical protection in cerebrospinal fluids and a network of intracranial fibroblasts (a sort of scaffold for the brain), for a start. Thermal control by way of the circulatory system. Pain management by way of pentobarbitone-analogues and other chemicals produced by the body to reduce the risk of permanent damage following traumatic brain injury by putting the host organism to sleep.
Do not ever put any critical system, such as board records, in such a precarious situation as there being a single point of failure. Because it *will* eventually fail, and then you're screwed. By all means, use Google Docs, but as a *backup*. Encrypt everything you upload on there. This is for the security of the data, not to prevent the right people from accessing it - so you could safely write the decryption keys on post-its for the purpose. Your working directories should be local and duplicated, not running (hence relying on) Google Docs, which is every bit as vulnerable to outage as any online service. Now you have three copies - two mirrored live and a failover which is offsite. Standardise your data. Use whatever method you choose for this, but it should be robust and human-readable as well as software-searchable and fully indexed.

there is no express Right to Privacy in the US Constitution. Period.
HOWEVER...
Ninth Amendment states:
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Tenth Amendment states:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Government is strictly limited to doing those activities which are specifically authorized to it by the Constitution.
Everything else is left to “the States, respectively, or to the People.“
Constitutionally, the specific right to privacy does not exist. It is a privilege granted by local Statute. Data Protection Act, wiretapping restrictions, US Postal Service regulations and limitations, the Copyright Act and the Federal Reserve Act are but a few examples of Statutes that bestow privilege on certain types and methods of information, but for that information only - nothing in there even about personal privacy.
All that said, there is an ancient Anglo-Saxon saying from the time of King Alfred (9th c.), which goes "A man's home is his castle". This is in fact part of the Code of Alfred and about the closest you'll get to an actual Constitutional statement about the absolute right to privacy. Back then, if you even turned up outside the walls of a fort uninvited or unannounced and flying the pennant of an alien House, you stood to be run through, and deservedly so. In England these days we have as closest analogue, section 4A of the Public Order Act 1986 which provides for intentional alarm, harassment or distress but still no specific *right* to privacy. People have tried to apply section 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998 in civil Law but this Act only applies against Public Authorities, which are immunised from prosecution (civil or criminal) under HRA by section 71 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 which provides complete immunity if said corporate body turns evidence in *any other proceeding*.
Wait... I would like to know: 1. How he (Obama) can legitimately claim responsibility for just ten percent of the current deficit (CBS' 60 Minutes, 23 September 2012), when in fact he is responsible for fully *half* of it (the last four years and six TRILLION Dollars on top of the 2008 deficit ALL HAPPENED ON HIS WATCH. BUSH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT); 2. What he (Obama) thinks he has done to reduce the deficit in the last four years. SIX TRILLION DOLLARS OVERSPEND IS NOT FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE! Any ordinary citizen would be doing time for FRAUD if they tried anything like that; 3. What he (Obama) intends to do to reduce the deficit in the next four years? Spend more money that doesn't exist?
Mod me down, go right on ahead, I don't care any more. Nothing like the facts to get in the way of a good argument, is there?
At least Nixon could count (see my previous post concerning national budgets)! What did he do so wrong that deserved impeachment? Lost an eighteen minute bootleg! That's almost worse than sticking your dick in an intern's mouth!

rape is illegal. The consumption of class A narcotics is not.
UNIX preemptively multitasked in 1969. Kinda predates Amiga.
The earliest example of a protected memory model using separated memory paging I can think of is OS/2 (1987).
