We'd probably have records with twenty parallel grooves and reading heads with 40 or more needles.
I'm an old fart. I worked on a Burroughs B3500 back in the 70s. The "Disk Module" was a 10MB cabinet about 4 ft by 4ft by 2ft. It had 4 platters and there was one head per track. Seek time was non-existent but rotational delay was a bitch.
actually the total amount of water would only cover the entire surface with a uniform layer one fifteenth of one percent the total radius of the planet. Water is in fact, therefore, pretty scarce on Earth.

Let's get our approximates right!
A couple = ~2
A few = ~3

Time to stop reading
Are you suggesting that Peter Jackson does not read /. ?
My suspicion is that /. could use this even more...
Good timing. Those meteors were getting pretty rank.
What's a qubit?

Mod parent funny for the Cosby connection.

How many libraries of Congress is that?
A first-glance at the headline and I read "Here's What Your Cat Could Look Like In 2030". In 2030 he's gonna be worm food. Not a pretty picture.

Ballooning
Maybe Comcast will do in-flight wifi instead?
The cable costs alone would be prohibitive.
I choose option 2, just because I'd rather give the money to Motorola (well, Lenovo now I guess) than to TWC.
Motorola cable business was acquired by the ARRIS Group (head end, plant and CPE equipment)
A perfect use for Cloud Computing.
