Kaenneth evidently thinks that a megabyte is a big bite of a food-eating competition at the county fair—perhaps 12× the normal size of a bite of food.
Or perhaps Kaenneth evidently thinks that a megabyte is a 12-bit byte (megabyte), completing the set 9-bit byte in Multics & FPGAs (magnibyte), 8-bit byte (canonibyte), 6-bit byte (minibyte), 4-bit byte/nibble/nybble (microbyte), and 1-bit byte/bit (nanobyte).
*THIS* is exactly what would happen in the aftermath of enacting McCain's plan.
Why are the Republicans like McCain for Big Government & populist heavy-handed government regulation now?

By the dictionary definitions of "hand" and "-free" and "driving":
If the smartphone's map functionality is hands-free, then permitted. If the smartphone's map functionality requires even the slightest single touch by a human "hand" while the driver is "driving", then prohibited.
Why did the Python community drag its feet for so long on officially registering its brand-name? For the cost of approximately one hour's of lawyer's time, the low trade-mark fees 8 years ago would have been the cheapest solution to this situation. Now many many hours of lawyers' time will need to be expended to rectify the situation.
[C++ is] the only mainstream language I know that supports both very low-level and very high-level programming style.
Apparently you don't know Ada2005 and Ada2012. Ada2005 & Ada2012 have richer low-level capabilities than C++1998 and C++2003, although once LLVM's clang and GCC's g++ and Microsoft Visual C++ all support all of {N2239, N2427, N2748, N2752, N2547}, C++2011 will then conceivably have greater expressivity than Ada2012 regarding concurrency-atomicity declarations. Ada2005 & Ada2012 is capable of nearly all of C++2003's major high-level capabilities, except meta-template programming because Ada's generics are not themselves Turing-complete as a functional (sub)language via recursive generics-/template-expansion, as C++1998-&-later's templates are. The more that I utilize C++'s meta-template programming, the more that I consider it a botched kludge straight from Hell, so Ada lacking meta-template programming is a Good Thing. Conversely, Ada has a rich amount of reflection via its tick (i.e., apostrophe) suffixes on identifiers; reflection is what meta-template programming is often used for in C++ anyway.

You mean SRAM (static RAM DIPs) back before in was on-die within the processor. SDRAM is synchronous dynamic RAM DIMMs. SRAM and SDRAM are entirely different.
Indeed, one major telecom company is named for its railroad easements: SPRINT, the Southern Pacific Railroad Intercontinental Network of Telecommunications, although the latter 3 letters are likely:-) a backronym after Southern Pacific Communications Corporation (SPCC) changed its name to SPRINT.
Most of the long-lines right of ways (RoWs) are along railroads, not public lands. The 2nd largest amount of RoWs crosscut underneath private property, such as underneath high-voltage electric transmission lines where the legal-infrastructure for the RoW was already in place for the electric grid.
Evolution doesn't work that way. There has to be selection pressure. Bacteria that live in concrete but thrive in a lower pH would be selected against - the "thrive in high pH" would outcompete them.
I am glad that you live in Fictionland A) where all concrete ever made worldwide has precisely the same pH and B) where not a single one of these bacteria will ever leave human-made concrete to go live in ever-so-slightly-different natural limestone of various purities & imperfect compositions (hence widely different pHs, varying from concrete by small increments and varying from each other by additional small increments, creating a progression of different niches to select the fittest variety of bacteria for each niche pH over a wide spectrum of pHs).
Meanwhile, the rest of us live in the real world where your allegedly-impenetrable barriers are quite porous and where opportunity for evolution to fill a spectrum of differing-pH niches actually does exist.
Selecting on a pH range is not a foolproof kill-switch. Many things in this world have the same pH. Plus, how wide of a pH range does this species select on? Do calcium deposits in bone fall into the same pH range as the bacteria's selectivity? If not, then by how much do the pH ranges differ? How much is the bacteria's pH-range selectivity susceptible to drifting into other pH ranges over tens of thousands or millions of generations of evolution in coming years and decades? pH-range selectivity is not sufficient for impeccable safety.
Bacteria burrows into bone, squeezing bone marrow into an ever-tinier passageway, for a new disease mimicking leukemia or aplastic anemia. Bacteria burrows into joints, for a new cause of arthritis and bone spurs. I hope that the genetic engineers built a foolproof off-switch into this one, or perhaps this bacteria commits suicide in the absence of rebar.
Most of those of us who have taught other people for decades 1) that the "su" command stands for "switch user" not for "super user" and 2) that root is the proper term and 3) that anyone who uses the term "superuser" is displaying a certain degree of ignorance have given up. Perhaps you should too.
On a system with 32-bit characters because ISO9899-bytes are 32-bit on that processor, for octets you will have to define your own types or include someone elses.
There, I fixed that for you.
DSPs are the typical processor with 32-bit chars. On DSPs, as per ISO9899, if chars are 32-bit because bytes are 32-bit (because 32-bit bytes are the smallest addressable unit of memory as each memory address is incremented by one), then short and int is 32-bit as well. As per ISO9899, none of {long long, long, int, short} can be smaller than a char, because by definition that smaller-than-char thing would nullify the claim that 32-bit bytes as chars are the smallest addressable unit.
To be even this thin, it seems like either A) the electronics would need to be embedded in the glass or B) the back of the glass would need to be the printed circuit board itself

Just like the bits, the names want to be free. Open source the naming of planets to wrest proprietary control of naming rights away from IAU.
