    Yeah... see, actually, government has the good habit of not having backup when they need to answer accountability question, fraud, etc.

    Some people might say they erase it by "accident".

    I think they are just careless with the data, or clueless, actually. So I would not be surprised.

    All of this, wrapped up in a cute gift box. Ready for 21 December 2012. Cheer, less than 3 years till we unwrap it!

    These roaming black holes are the legacy of old civilization from other planet... testing their own LHC, before being sucked into oblivion.

    And someone, somewhere, must be watching and laughing.

    Well, I really doubt the 2k for 2500 pixel. Unless this is some black and white picture... with no shade of gray whatsoever.

    1) Take a bunch of poor student
    2) tell them there's a naked woman doing a strip tease somewhere in this "movie".

    So, they photograph a 50x50px square half a billion time in a split second.

    But...

    How would they store it ?

    I mean... Are they going to compress on the fly a billion tiny image ?

    I didn't see anything about that in TFA.

  9. Re:Car Analogy Missing on Bandwidth Fines Bad, But Not Net Neutrality Issue · · Score: 0

    You are mixing QoS and net neutrality.

    Net neutrality, in a car analogy implies that the car is made for one type of pump only. You have to pay, or the pump owner have to pay, to put gas from another pump inside your car. Thus making you dependent of a company.

    Or they sell you a radio in your car, but you can just listen to a specific frequency only, blocking the other one around (Unless they pay, too)

    Not really, since European and Canadian do the same things, or fail to do it, actually.
