I'm guessing you didn't then, jealous or something?
(Of course that's only for the 0.1 seconds before the car went back to the future - the ammount of power it used was arround 35kWh, so you could charge it up using a 13A/240V mains overnight.
Irellevent, kilo was arround, and meaning 10^3, a long time before computers. The IEC decided to use kibi 6 years ago, although kibi isn't an SI prefix. You can't use 1 word for two different meanings in science. 1 slug-pound-foot per bushel isn't apropiate anymore.
Lets assume that a person can process data at 30GBit per second (10 times the rate of uncompressed top of the line HDTV), that's less then 80 hours of information. In a hundered year life span you'll need 12,000 of these. However, the time is coming where that milestone will be reached. 1GB was a pipe dream to consumers 15 years ago, Now 1TB is only a few hundered bucks. in 50 years we'll be looking at 1EB on the desktop, in 100 years I doubt anyone could digest the information on a consumer hard drive.
However what about the stuff we don't see. The average paperback book has 10^26 atoms. Say each atom's information (ignore Heisenberg) could be stored (somehow) using 1 bit, you'd need a Trillion of these arrays. Imagine trying to store a copy of the planet on a HDD? There's always a use for large ammounts of storage.

Never heard of "Cox internet", but then I realised why is posted.
Cox. Cocks. Geddit?
Before then we may have a computer that could design such a plant in its spare time, leaving us monkeys just the job of implementing it.
Fusion@Home would probably have enough power now. Writing the software to design it though - thats the challenge.
You'd have to be pretty damn horny. 'Nuff said.
What, to power my Google-sized storage network of pr0n?

In the UK, petrol costs about 80p ($1.50, €1.15) a litre, or $3 per U.S. Gallon
1) about 20p per litre for the petrol
2) about 50p per litre for petrol tax
3) another 17.5% on top of that for VAT (sales tax)
The bulk of the tax is a set ammount. Even if oil dropped to $1 a carrel, we'd still be paying 60p/litre

how is it possible for something that broadcasts NBT all of the place to be considered "stealth"? :P
It runs windows, 90% of the time it will be rebooting after running windows update (or being infected with sasser) and therefore not broadcasting
You might be being ironic, but you're right.
Of course, in theory:
- the earth is spherical in shape
These people don't think so
- the earth revolves around the sun
not acording to 1 in 5 americans
- we evolved from lower species
Not according to the xian church.
- energy equals mass times the speed of light squared
Amazingly that's about the least objectable theory you listed.

Same reason you get someone else to proofread your CV. A fresh pair of eyes will pick out the problems.
Hot gay penguin action
Got any ASCII of that?
I dont get it. When you employ someone, you pay taxes, they pay taxes. The development has already been taxed.
I use lynx for all my porn needs
Because we all know looking at pictures is bad.
True.
In other news everyone in the world that's seen the news in the last 2 weeks is being arrested.
We need 1.21 jiggawatts!

How many Library of Congresses is this?
50
How many 128kbps MP3s can you store on it.
250-300 million depending on song length
And most importantly, how many floppy disks is this equivalent too?!
700 Million - nearly 40,000 miles when laid end on end, or about 1500 miles when stacked on top of each other.
Specifically, 1,048,576 GB
No, Specifically, 1,000,000 GB. GB == Gigabyte. Giga == 10^9, always. No "in computing it doesn't" crap. Giga is an SI prefix.
fat32, one partition :D
This story is about 1PB of storage, the Lacie is old news, not a dupe
Nah, slashdotters will slashdot the google cache of google
How about the millions of unborn human beings that die when you masterbate?
Of course it was, you don't want the body OR yourself to be counted
