Central/Western VA, WV, TN, KY... those are all pretty immune to most natural disasters. Hurricanes are all petered out by the time they hit here, the biggest earthquakes are like magnitude 4, the mountains kill the tornados quickly in general, there are no big rivers that cause massive flooding, etc.
There's a style debate about the proper use of collapsing elements in articles as well. I don't have the link offhand.
They have several drawbacks that make them unattractive though (like not translating to paper). The question is whether the benefits outweigh the downsides.
See, all you have to do is get a steel bar and cut it to the precise length, to the 1,000,000,000,000,000th place. There you go, 1PB worth of data in a small space.:)
Yeah, in some fantasy world where Java programs just work.
More realistic is that you get some mess of stuff with nothing obviously executable, and then once you figure out what thing you are supposed to run, it complains about something called a CLASSPATH and refuses to run.
I really hope I'm able to access the data from it. If I can get variable pricing based on peak load in the system, then I have a lot of incentive to time my dish washer, clothes washer, etc to do their work in the non-peak times. It saves me money and makes a more efficient load on the system. Everyone wins. Hopefully they don't screw it up.

Are we really all the way back to hardcards?
I guess fads really do go in cycles.
That's an awful lot of words.
Next time you could just say "SATA sucks".
Maybe one day they will teach economics in elementary school. That would kind of be like teaching slaves to read though.
You are forgetting that Novell is like 100 times better than what MS replaced it with.
Everyone mostly forgets that one.
The macs here in our prepress got a virus once, years ago. They get lots of customer provided files though.
It's rare but possible.
Heh, yeah it's a joke. It's often naively proposed as a storage means.
Hard disk capacity grows in spurts though. In 2001 we had 100GB drives max or so, by 2003 that was 300GB and by 2005 it was 500GB.
But from 2005 to today, we've only gone from 500GB to 1.5TB

This sort of backs up my observations there... things have kind of petered out since 2005.. with a steady but slow growth compared to before.

I haven't had adobe reader installed on my system during any of those 15 years either. The linux version kind of sucked.
...using the coercive power of government.
Yeah, except it hasn't happened yet and there's already been plenty of reasons to not listen to mainstream label music.
The main reason probably being that 99% of indie music really really sucks, and people don't want to have to look for that 1%.
WTF man. You actually get viruses often enough on your personal system and your mom's system that you can draw comparisons?
I think you are doing something horribly wrong. I haven't had a virus in 15 years or so.
WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!
slashdot's caps filter makes this joke less funny
Are there any RIAA lawyers left who don't yet have high level Obama positions?
Yeah, in some fantasy world where Java programs just work.

There's a pic of his wife topless if you read the article.
I don't know, I think comparing studio airbrushed photos of Jolie with candid snaps of his wife may not be the best experiment.
This whole thing seems not very scientific and more like "hey lets play with our toy".
And the courts have struck it down and the laws are all freely available now.
I don't think we should be allowing patents based on the novelty of the problem rather than the novelty of the invention to solve it.
Under US law, the air would be illegal to knowingly possess.
But then, so is Beef (contains GHB).

How would LSD get into the air? People don't snort it, and smoking it would destroy it.
Are you missing my point on purpose?
How about another example: Economic markets.
There's plenty of "no organization" systems that work just fine, without everyone understanding or even anyone understanding everything.

You can get this for not much money.
