I may be able to line the bottom of my floor with GPUs, connected via a custom PCI extension cables into a large (really large) chassis. But if take numbers into account, I have about a 1,000 square foot house. Let's say an average sized GPU is 4" x 12" (just for round numbers). And let's assume that I place 2 GPU's per square foot. That comes out to 2,000 GPUs, and a lot of money.
Think I will stick to wearing slippers in the winter.
You are just completely wrong. I have boxes and boxes full of software from pre-1993 that is readable and that I am able to collect data off of. Just the other day, I booted an Apple SE and read 20 different 3.5 inch floppy disks.
I work on a team which does archiving. We have multiple layers of data storage. First, we keep all copies of media in a library. The media is imaged and stored on a SAN. The SAN is backed up to an off-site NAS. And once a year, we copy the data to hard drives and ship the drives to another site across the country. If you have the capability, put the originals in an archival storage area. I have never known a single archivist to get rid of anything, so you must be new to this community.
As an FYI, there is no such thing as obsolete media, as evidence by this project. And trust me, you can usually find a way to image most old media formats.
I could buy enough of these to cover the underside of the floor of my house and mine Bitcoins during the winter. Then I get radiant heat and useless fake money (which is probably just NSA's password cracker anyways).

A blind monkey with 3 fingers could hit a quadrocopter 20 feet away with a shotgun. Surveillance drones do not fly that low, because they can be seen and heard. They need to be at a much higher altitude.
Although, given an average altitude of 8,000 feet for a drone, this is not an easy shot. Nor is the fact that the drone will be flying at ~100 MPH and winds at that altitude could easily be 50 MPH. It would be a hard task for even the best shot. And that math would be terrible.
I can say that XYZ is an excuse for doing something, but that doesn't mean that XYZ is actually a legally justified reason.
For instance, I can sit around and claim that the 2nd Amendment gives me the right to "bear arms" and go to Alaska and shoot every Polar Bear that I can find. Then bring those Polar Bear arms back to my house and mount them on the wall. Just because I claim the 2nd Amendment gives me the right to have those "bear arms" does not mean that the 2nd Amendment actually gives me the right to shoot Polar Bears.
The Patriot Act authorizes the US government to obtain secret warrants to investigate suspected terrorists. But what they are actually doing, is obtaining warrants for the entire US population. Repealing the Patriot Act will not stop this, because the Patriot Act is not their legal authority to seize these records. The US Government has NO authority to seize these records.
He does use them in the series finale, in the alternate future timeline. Really, I think it was more a plot device to make sure the crew could distinguish him from Lore, and to be brought up on occasion. Like the episode where Riker is taken hostage by an alien on the surface that wants him to be his Dad, and during a hallucination Data uses a contraction, which served as the final piece of evidence that the events going on were not real.
Dune Stillsuits reclaimed all water that was excreted by the body. From sweat to waste products, and even including the moisture from breath. That's why they had the nose plugs.
It's going to be a Kickstarter. And if you pledge $200, you will get a free pair of blue contact lenses, along with your still suit. A pledge of $1,000 will get you a crysknife with holster.

The important facts of the story are simple, millions of people live and travel through this area (lived in the central valley for the first 10 years of my life) and never develop symptoms. A small percentage, small enough that people still live and travel here, develop symptoms that have a small chance of death, a href=http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-204_162-57583038/valley-fever-rates-rising-in-western-united-states/> only 265 out of 18,776 reported cases from 2001 to 2008 resulted in death, a 1.4% fatality rate. Since most cases are not reported, the actual fatality rate is much lower.

I am so glad you corrected the OP. I am really sick and tired of people getting facts about fake things wrong! ./sarcasm-off.sh
Does it require 25 minerals to build these smaller drones? And can I set the "underwater carrier" to auto-build them?

Those drones are also much smaller, so still difficult to hit.
How many Hellfire missiles does it take to destroy Deer Trail, CO?

You mean law enforcement has to follow the law? That's terrible news!

The author of the Patriot Act agrees
Not always. In Dune Messiah, Korba was sentenced to the Death Stills for plotting with rebels to assassinate Muad'Dib.
If the world wanted to have control over the internet naming schemes, they should have spent the time, money, and effort to INVENT the internet.

Does the AI use contractions?

Duh, but they still have at least 2,397 cameras placed on the streets of the city. So "thousands" is correct.
