Putting that into context, a circle with the radius of 300 miles produces an area 282743 mi^2 or 732301 km^2. Which is moderately bigger than Texas and about 10% of the area of the continental USA.
And the state of the hardware. Some unknown number of systems on the real curiosity are degraded to the point of malfunctioning; And they have little to no way of exactly measuring what and where.
Seems a little excessive, how much kinetic energy does a firework pack? I imagine you could make do with something closer to a firemen's outfit instead of a suit of armour.
At least the one review I looked at said it was only $1K.

Because that is what main players have adopted. If you are programming your own software, on your own hardware, you could write the entire thing in assembly. If you are programming for your companies servers, or "The Cloud" Good luck with the other alternatives.

Yes, and servers do not get updated instantly. Large corporations in particular are always a few years behind, and if you are writing code that will be hosted on a server you do not own yourself it needs to comply to their latest version of PHP, not the bleeding edge of php development.

I know. They have been adding standard default programming language features for years now. The last time I worked with it a year or two ago I was struck by how you could not even `getArray()[3];`, you needed to `$tmp = getArray(); $tmp = $tmp[3];`. It is a potentially decent generic language with some really retarded areas, that does not seem to be out of the beta phase of its development yet.

It does not have to be useful when it has been given a monopoly over the entire industry.
Also, "With a Standing Government" is goes against the entire point. What about people on the Internet who do not have a standing government?
But, that us not really the point. The law does not expect all of its rules to be obeyed by everyone at all times. It is illegal to run someone over with your car, but some number of people blindly run out into the street, and some percentage of them get run over by cars.
How is that reasonable. You really except that it is reasonable that taken a practically infinite pool of people (the Internet) that you expect all of them to act generally decent to each other all the time?
It is not anything, it just is.
You do a bunch of shady things, insult people, act all dramatic and you end up drawing similar people into your orbit.
No reasonable person is going to say that there is nothing wrong with these people giving these alleged death threats, or that she deserves death threats. But you brazenly scam a bunch of people, and repeatedly insults billions for profit and power and you attract the hate of other bad people.
Umm, well the packet would get sent again. And the packet still took up bandwidth before it was lost in transit.
For example. If a plane takes a trip around the world, from the US, to Africa, to Asia, to Europe, and back to the US. And crashes on the return trip over the Atlantic. It used approximately the same amount of fuel that a plane the made it all the way would have.
If you live in a major city in that happens to lead the world in internet connectivity, sure. Maybe about 1% of the population of the world has available speeds exceeding 12M. But India (half the world) for example has an average of 5M and that is only counting the ones who can actually get internet at all.
Looking on there site, they appear to have actually released a decent selection of qualities and sizes.
For Example:
TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away from Keyboard (1080p) 8.2 GB
TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away from Keyboard (720p) 4.1 GB
TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away from Keyboard (576p) 781 MB
Ya, I absolutely refuse to download an hour and a half of entertainment at 8 Gigs. Offer it in a range of quality settings, because I can garment you 80% of people cannot afford that much bandwidth and/or do not want to wait 3+ days for that download to finish.
Even well into Windows 7, 32-bit continued to a very serious market share of NEW installs. At this point I do not think we are getting very many 32 bit installs at all, but any computer over 3 years probably has about a 60% chance of running a 32-bit OS. XP was the market overlord of a very long time, and continues to have a significant share, and its 64 bit edition was unusable.
I completely disagree. Pretty much everyone is complete shit at statistics. It is a very very advanced and unique field that is continually and horribly bungled by scientists and everyone else. We need statisticians, that said I cannot imagine anyone wanting to go into stats.

That the Title does not read: 'New Model Predicts You're Doom' Or: 'Volcano Going to Rain Death on Eastern America'
I do not understand. Why would trying to sell people things they do not need, SSDs, be laudable?

How to brick a 2.5 billion dollar device.

So you need a judicial order now to stop lawyers from suing people who have paid to use someone patents?

Well as long as they make is clear what they are measuring.
Also packet loss can add a percent of two under normal circumstances.

This. Unfortunately GOG does not have nearly enough industry sway to make them take reasonable prices for their product.
