Buy an e-SATA dock and some 1TB 2.5" hard drives. The $/GB might be a bit higher but it's a lot more convenient. The 2.5" drives fit nicely in a safe deposit box for offsite storage.
They could deploy a set of parallel domains like "v4.netflix.com" without AAAA records, then add a profile setting so that affected users could be redirected there without impacting anyone else.
I am not going to turn off IPv6 across all of my devices just because Netflix can't figure out v6 geolocation. For dual-stack customers, why not simply locate them with a v4 query and then let that user session send in IPv6 requests from anywhere?
Did they look at Direct Use of Pressurized Water Reactor Spent Fuel in CANDU? You can pretty much grind up the "spent" fuel from a LWR, pack it into new pellets, then burn it again with a heavy-water moderator. Those reactors can also burn un-enriched uranium or thorium.
FWIW, I tried changing "echo vulnerable" to "whoami" and it didn't work. In fact, it segfaulted!
Maybe a path issue? Try it with/usr/bin/whoami (or wherever it is on your system).
On the system I tested, I do get a segfault but only after it has run the command. It's definitely not limited to built-in commands; "/usr/bin/man bash" worked just fine.
Let's also not forget that North Korea successfully launched a satellite into a stable polar orbit (higher than the ISS). That first payload was a bit of a dud, but they have a proven ability to send a package over any part of the Earth's surface.
In this case, the fuel cell is powered by butane. Butane is not readily available, in pure form, in large, easily transferable quantities all over the world. Gasoline, however, is.
Automotive propane is also widely available, and should be equivalent to butane as far as a fuel cell is concerned.
Dallas Semiconductor once had a product called the "Crypto iButton", a small Java CPU + a hardware RSA engine and tamper-resistant memory. With appropriate plugins you could set it up as a security device in your browser and then authenticate remotely using SSL client certificates (with the private key never leaving the iButton).
Not directly related to your post, but take a look at http://nassp.sourceforge.net/ . It's an add-on to the "Orbiter" spaceflight simulator with models of the Apollo spacecraft, including an emulated guidance computer that runs actual AGC code.
Many years ago I had a summer job at the TRIUMF cyclotron. When you stood above the main magnet (on top of a thick layer of concrete shielding blocks) the field was strong enough that you could hold one coin vertically and stick another one onto its bottom edge.
The stray field was too weak to affect credit cards or hard drives, but it did do interesting things to the CRT monitors in nearby offices.

I'm looking at Blu-ray burners for data backup.

Am I too late to join this party?
Yes. Moose out front shoulda told ya.

How long can a lithium ion powered drone stay in the air?
97 minutes, 6 seconds for this one.
Airplanes also work.

Windows cant power the laptop up.
Technically, no. But Windows (or Linux) can program a wake-up alarm into the RTC chip. See for example http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ACPI_Wakeup .
That was a merciless thing to do to a clam.

Just a reminder that the terrorist pilots entered the US through Canada.
Nope.
Does the rock also keep tigers away? Because if so, SOLD!
The words 'Elon Musk' and 'Loop' make me think of the Lofstrom variety, not underground tunnels.
Ferdinant Magellan did it in 1520.
No, Magellan only made it as far as the Philippines and then he was killed. It was Juan Sebastian Elcano who completed the voyage.
Last I heard, Canada was still OK with it as long as you pay taxes on any applicable transactions. I don't know how long it will last.

Some other iButton products are still available, but the Java cryptographic ones I'm talking about (e.g. DS1957) were discontinued.

Maybe he just prefers SuSE?
Several years ago, I ported SuSE onto my PowerPC iBook G3 because I liked it and it was the distro I ran on my main desktop machine.
("porting" in this case mostly meant bootstrapping a build environment and working around a few bugs. The source RPMs already had PPC build targets.)
Last time I checked, my DVD player did not take 45 seconds to boot up, its instantaneous: just like a TV or VCR
DVD, sure. Try a recent Blu-Ray player.

Without any of this, I have no idea if this is shocking news, or merely expected.
It's just a publicity stunt. The actual science has been done already, in much greater detail without any gnomes.
And just how, pray tell, do you think they measure the mass of the bars Mr. Nitpicker? Some elaborate physics experiment?
Using either a beam balance, or a force-measuring scale that's locally calibrated with a known reference mass.
