If 4chan as a group takes issue with this, everyone down to the CEO of Verizon will be essentially fair game for various levels of harassment. They'll have the address and private phone number of anyone who matters within days, and they, probably more than anyone, know how to abuse such information.
So let me get this straight.
A group of dissidents threatens anyone who disagrees with them with harassment and possible bodily harm (like no one would ever use the home addresses of the CEO, CFO, CIO etc for nefarious means), so that people fear the group enough to cow their every demand? I think we have a name for such people...
And this from someone who hopes the big V goes down in flames.
Library of Congresses are a perfectly cromulent unit of volume. Just because the necessary measurements to derive the value are not easily google-able doesn't invalidate that fact.
In the past, when deriving the conversion from Library of Congresses to BTU's, we've used the assumption that we're talking about the books that make up the Library of Congress, not the building itself. This is because, back in the mists of time, Library of Congresses were originally used as a measure of information in the collection of the Library of Congress.
Screw this "metric system" with it's plethora of different units for different quantities. I strongly endorse that everybody normalize on Library of Congresses for units of any quantity. Just imagine how it would simplify your life!
I'm guessing you have a bag with 104 physical widgets, each with it's own unique RFID.
The reader's smart enough to recognize some of the widgets as being modifiers that can be combined with others - shift, control, alt, function.
Precisely one of the points about Mars and other places outside of Earth. Without reaching to them, life will die out. We're in the phase of first small steps in ensuring it won't.
A idea I can get behind! Upgrade it by adding the character "Betty" to the cast with "Betty" and "Betty". KEEP the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in Space uniforms.
yeah, it'd really suck if Google applied their sizable brainage to solving a problem that would have making MRI's cheap and fast as a side-effect. totally suck.
I haven't verified this, but my father-in-law told me the guy that invented the MRI wanted to develop it as a medical scanner to the point where it was cheap enough that everybody could afford it. Then GE et al locked up the idea and turned it into a profit center.

you do realize that google owns the NSA, right?

AFAIK, this is the only CPU still made in America.

it's not so much the $$$, but what we're accomplishing (or not) with them
Why are you dragging your feet on releasing streetview Mars? Or even streetview Luna for that matter?!!! It's a simple matter of robotics engineering.
I thought the iPad was the iPad-killer.
obviously, you store your collection of 327 musty old boardgames on the shelves in the basement, next to your bed.
hey, if you're going to put a big, scary, noisy eyesore in your yard, it might as well be a designer big scary noisy eyesore.
I completely agree.
Much preferred the classic Apple logo with the gay pride flag right out on front where you can't miss it.
hey, they're running Ubuntu, not Gentoo...
Fiat's not a car, it's an Italian crapmobile.
hmmmm, what's that make Chrysler, then?...
Obviously, DNF, if completed, would have had some sort of feature that generated Higgs bosons.
WRONG!

Anyhow, as a back-of-the-envelope estimate, 29 million books at 1" x 10" x 8" gives us a value of ~50,000 cubic yards. That gives us a value of ((10^7) (cubic micrometers)) / (50 000 (cubic yards)) = 2.61590124 × 10-16 Library of Congresses.

plus, just imagine the cluttered hell the world would become if everybody was trying to use their projector displays on the bus at the same time!!!

Actually, that seems sort of klunky.
