Let's put it this way--a full-size jet airliner carrying passengers has *never* been lost without a trace. Not ever. Every one that went down was eventually found.
You've missed the OP's point. When a format becomes uneconomic for the mass market, people stop developing for it, because they'll want to do development on something they can sell to a lot of people. It falls behind. This causes more people to stop using it, which causes more people to stop development. The death spiral continues until the format falls so far behind that its continued use can't possibly be justified. Tape isn't all the way there yet, but it's getting there. Look at non-commodity servers (like Sun) for stuff that's further down that path.
You don't need a VTL to keep static, recoverable backups on disk. We do it ourselves, and only keep a few long-term backups on tape. Our save sets on disk are just like save sets on tape would be, except that our backup volumes dynamically allocate and free space as needed. VTLs are kinda dumb, as far as I can see. You give up dynamic space allocation to get...what, exactly?
And the point is that SSDs fill that market need so much better (the fast disks aren't much cheaper, if at all, and they suffer decreased reliability) that there's no point to them.
There were multiple witnesses saying that Mike Brown had his hands up and was not attacking Darren Wilson when he was shot.
There were also multiple witnesses saying he wasn't. The grand jury decided that the he said/she said situation didn't add up to probable cause. What little physical evidence there was tended to support Wilson's version, although it was hardly conclusive.
They are blocking undesirable content into their own country that a majority of the Chinese public agrees should be blocked.
You, of course, have ceritified polls to back up this statement.
As an additional point, this is not a case of China blocking undesireable content. They are blocking a major portion of the Internet wholesale, regardless of what the content is.
No. The only protection is that no one except the corporation is liable for the corporation's debts. You can be found personally liable in a lawsuit, in which case the debt is yours personally and not the corporation's, and the corporation as such offers no protection.
(Youngsters rejoice; if you missed the original Prisoner TV series, you may have another chance- director Christopher Nolan may be planning a movie version.)
Or, y'know, you can you can get it on DVD or Blu-Ray instead of watching crappy remakes.
Point me to where it says that. In the original post, please.

"what happens if you flick the extreme of a pencil, in space".
And in a later clarification:
Either the eraser end or the tip of the pencil
Looking back at it, I realize that I did assume that the "flick" wasn't aimed down the length of the pencil, but I think that's a reasonable assumption.
Because a force vector that does not intersect with the center of gravity has been applied. That causes the object to spin. It's the same principle as reaction control system thrusters on spacecraft.
The answer is that lift is actually generated mostly by the angle of attack (air hitting the underside of the wing, pushing the plane up). Bernoulli's principle usually helps, though. Stunt planes that are designed to regularly fly upside down often have symmetric airfoils and don't use Bernoulli's principle at all.
Correct. The correct answer is that the pencil will start spinning *and* moving away from you. And you will start moving away from the pencil, although much more slowly, since you weigh so much more. You'll probably start slowly spinning as well, depending on where the vector of the flick was in relation to your center of gravity.
You didn't have to even pick a CYOA book. It's a bit gimmicky, but writing an ordinary novel in the second person has been done a few times--Jay McInerney's Bright Lights, Big City; Carlos Fuentes's Aura; Charles Stoss's Halting State, to pick a few examples.

I believe you mean '65. And, yes, they were apparently quite gruesome...

Nope. Because in six years, their backup volume has increased 5-fold. That's how much disk capacity has increased in past 6 years.

Well, of course. If they did anything to interfere, they'd be racist.
Well, who doesn't like eating a nice fried egg while they're flying? Perhaps you meant "yokes". If you did:

Notice the complete absence of yokes. They do get some nice keyboards, though.

You mean Pu238. Uranium 238 is very easy to get, but not very useful.
You smoke cigars *and* cigarettes?
You cannot be held liable for the corporation did. You can still be held liable for what YOU did, even if you did it on behalf of the corporation.
No. The only protection is that no one except the corporation is liable for the corporation's debts. You can be found personally liable in a lawsuit, in which case the debt is yours personally and not the corporation's, and the corporation as such offers no protection.
No, Patch Tuesday is the normal scheduled time. Windows Update is the main channel.
Agreed. I read the headline and thought, "They're not offering it through Windows Update? How are people supposed to get it, or even know it exists?"
Or, y'know, you can you can get it on DVD or Blu-Ray instead of watching crappy remakes.
And what a lovely greeting that will be for their customers who *meant* to call them...

Ah, c'mon, the space hippies were fun. Herbert!
"Headin' out to Eden, yeah, brother..."
C'mon, didn't you enjoy "Expendable" at least a little bit?
