The "fossil record" is not that detailed. That phrase generally refers to a researcher who looked at a few (three to a few dozen) fossils of a certain era or similar species.
I am not aware of a database full of detailed fossil information. If there is one, it has data from the past 100 years of fossil studies by a relatively few experts. Back of the envelope... 100 years * 365 days * 1 fossil/day * 50 states * 10 experts/state * 100 countries = 1825 million fossils maximum. That sounds like a lot, but if spread over the 245 million years to the age of the dinosaurs (ignoring all the time before that), it's only 7.4 fossils for each year.
Now, if you had 7.4 samples of animal and plant life worldwide for each year in the past 10,000 years, how much could you learn about whether species had vanished or flourished? How much of anything could you learn based on one random plant or animal from each continent each year -- even if it was alive rather than a stone shadow of a skeleton? As dogs are much less than one percent of all plants and animals, you can't expect even 100 dogs. Could you know if collies or poodles survived? If one sample was taken from each continent, you would have 10,000 penguins, so you might be able to learn a lot about penguins.
So it is hard to know how most life was affected during past magnetic changes. Even if everything was crawling around with blisters on their backs and only plants which were in the shade of the dead neighboring trees survived, how much of that might show in the fossil record? Particularly as everything is closely related to what has already survived several magnetic changes every million years. A million years ago there were primates, and there will be primates after this magnetic change -- whether our one species happens to survive or not. We haven't been around long, and are only likely to show in the fossil record because we've become so numerous that a handful of us might get in situations where we get fossilized during each millenium.
(No, I'm certain there are a lot less than 1825 million fossils which have been studied.)
In related news, early trading in overseas markets shows the stock prices of map and textbook publishers have risen, while investors seem to have less trust in compass manufacturers. As paper and human skin can stop some types of radiation, the value of paper manufacturers and cloning companies also rose. Unemployment rates decreased due to a sudden increase in people applying to work in mining industries, bowling alleys, and within the shielding of the world's nuclear plants.
Environmentalists point out that the weakening magnetic field and atmospheric heating over the past 200 years coincide with, and is obviously caused by, an increase in evil industrialism. Protest marches are planned from New York south to Washington DC, then south to New York.
California legislators met in emergency session today and passed new automobile magnetic emission legislation. The magnetic fields of automobiles are now required to be aligned with the Earth's magnetic field and of opposite polarity so as to stress the existing magnetic generator to stay in the present configuration. Experts estimate it will only cost $200 per car and safety is worth the investment.

In medical news, herbal supplement manufacturers point out that natural iron supplements contain particles which experienced past natural reversals, and thus will train your body to help it deal with future changes.
Entertainers point out that they've been working for decades under hot, bright, lights and filming around the world until they don't know which way is up.

Tomorrow's weather forecast is for increasing temperatures to one-hundredth of a degree higher than yesterday. A gentle wind from the sunrise direction will change to stronger gusty winds from sunriseport, and chance of scattered thunderstorm shields in the area. As always, when a thunderstorm is within view with the sun behind it, take the kids outside to play in natural air and rain until the storm has passed and it is time to seal the house up again.
In sports news: The World Championship of Bowling in Cleveland today was won by a newcomer from Kenya for the third year in a row. He believes his country has produces so many winners because their bowling alley construction program placed them deeper than other countries did. Sources say that oxygen enrichment of some national bowling training facilities is widely rumored but not yet proven.

"...deny (403) web page retrieval from clients requesting THE SAME FILES more than once or twice per second."
If your logo is at the top and the bottom of the page, that's two references within a second. But if the browser is caching images, there will only be one request to the web server. So in practice that shouldn't be a problem...unless the browser checks if the image file changed for the second reference?
I believe you meant "in wanting to not contaminate Europa". Your phrasing suggests that NASA should be wanting to contaminate but did not have that want. Actually NASA is aware of the risk of contaminating Jupiter's moons and is destroying the craft before they lose control of it. Abandoning in orbit is not safe, as something adrift in Jupiter orbit could be flung anywhere due to the many forces there.
Is that the story where the transport tubes have parabolic paths? The train is simply released, so it accelerates downward along its guide rail...then decelerates as it goes up the matching slope beyond the lowest point.
They don't resign because having sex with an intern is perfectly legal.
D.C. Code: Statute 22-201 Adultery:
Whoever commits adultery in the District shall, on conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding $500, or by imprisonment not exceeding 180 days, or both; and when the act is committed between a married person and a person who is unmarried both parties to such act shall be deemed guilty of adultery.
Having sex with an intern is legal if both participants are married to each other. If they're both unmarried, that's fornication rather than adultery.
In a quick search of the DC code and the Constitution for the State of New Columbia, I don't see the President having special powers other than being Commander in Chief of the New Columbia armed forces.
...yet again, Europe is going to be WAY out in front of the US.
Interesting how "someplace else" is always better. In the USA, new products and unusual ideas refer to a European origin. In Brasil, the origin is the USA.
In France, where do they say a new herbal cure comes from? In Japan, what origin do radical clothing or ideas claim? How about Australia...other than from the other side of the country?
Whatever the penalty, the mere conviction is enough to affect government purchasing bans. For Halloween, I pointed out the "must debar" rule to a state department Commissioner. What did you do today? (The public hearings should be interesting)
I think most of Microsoft code is of little interest. I'd be satisfied with the "IP death penalty" be used when MS fails to have an open interface: When they hide, a court expert will evaluate and release to the public domain the entire package which contained the obfuscated interface.
