no I don't agree on that at all. Being brought up by someone else: can you prove it could? I can provide ample anecdotal evidence that being brought up by anyone other than natural parents breeds psychopaths (R V Stafford 2010 where a 24yo out of the care system and just out of prison on parole for arson reckless immediately attempted to murder three entire families, including his own, by petrol bombing their homes in the middle of the night: R V Bacon (1994?) 18yo just aged out of the care system jailed for six years for raping a baby. Did either of them know any better? I think not, beyond feeding and clothing kids in care aren't given a moral compass, in fact their so called foster carers don't give a fuck about them beyond keeping them alive to collect the £400 per child per week Government stipend. Social workers will lie to foster carers, and foster carers will lie to charges. I have documented evidence of this, there is also ample evidence in the public record).

because the enemy of Syria is in fact Qatar's allies, like the US, the UK and Turkey.
Qatar want a gas pipeline to Europe. Turkey doesn't want it passing through its Eastern desert region. Qatar already has installation rights guaranteed by US occupation forces in Kuwait and Iraq. Syria told Qatar in not so many words to politely fuck off, they're not planting a pipeline through some of the most fertile arable land in the Middle East, so Qatar asked its allies (the US and the UK) to install a pretext to aggressively insert a policing and occupation force (the next inevitable step) into Syria to quell destabilising elements (AKA ISIS/ISIL/TNGAQA (The Next Great American Quad Acronym)) which will already have established as a threat to stability in the entire region. Oh, look, that last step is the only piece of the puzzle still not in place.
OK, commence to calling me a tinpot fucking nutjob. Just remember who the fuck told you so.
the BB was a thin (hence uber flexible) magnetic film in a cartridge IIRC. About the size of a magazine. They were touted as the big thing before optically guided magnetics came in (or even "true" MO like MD/HiMD), cheap hard drives (relatively speaking, 40MB was the size of a canned soda machine when these things hit the market) as a step up from floppies because spindle wear aside, disastrous failure was practically impossible. Head crash? Not a chance, the mechanism used a (then) 250 year old principle which states simply that the faster a gas moves between two solids the higher the static pressure, hence for a gas trapped between a nonmoving head and a spinning disc, the gas is moving, dynamic pressure decreases between the two solids (pulling the flexible disc towards the stationary head) yet with the increase in static pressure the head at a working distance of 1 micron will never actually touch the disc. Pretty much the same principle behind ground effect aircraft.
interesting, and I sit corrected, except that the LS120 is in fact magneto-optical. The design of the LS120 SuperDisk system came from an early 1990s project at Iomega. It is one of the last examples of floptical technology, where lasers are used to guide a magnetic head which is much smaller than those used in traditional floppy disk drives (ergo, "magneto-optical"). Iomega orphaned the project around the time they decided to release the Zip drive (which used a similar mechanism) in 1994. The idea eventually ended up at 3M, where the concept was refined and the design was licensed to established floppy drive makers Matsushita (Panasonic) and Mitsubishi. Other companies involved in the development of SuperDisk included Compaq and OR Technology. (via Wikipedia, source: Panasonic). The NeXTcube disks were MO removable hard disks, similar to Iomega Zip in the way they functioned* which is necessary for random access (otherwise you'd be sat there for hours waiting for a complete disc rewrite every time new data is committed).
*LS120, NeXT MO and Zip use lasers to guide the magnetic heads using optical tracking on the opposite side of the disc. While lasers aren't used to actually write the data, this still qualifies as magneto-optical.

Johnny Five had a storage capacity of 400MB. More than enough to digest the entire contents of a library and still wanting more.

My favourite is the LS120 since the drives are physically compatible with the standard 1.44MB floppy. Still got an LS120 drive, it's in a short tower with my two zip drives (1 100MB and 1 250MB), my 2GB Jaz (only used twice), my 8GB Colorado DAT and my DC300 DAT. The 5.25" is in its own box since it's a half height unit and it looks silly in the tower with a hole above and below.

"But it's to protect the children!" Bullshit, try shutting down the child traffickers accounts on facebook and ban advertising for foster carers for financial incentives - in fact, ban financial incentives for looking after other peoples' kids and instead try helping the families instead of making shit up about them. The best place for a child is with the family he was born into, NO EXCEPTIONS. If his entire family is dead, THEN you can talk about adoption, otherwise it's not adoption, it's trafficking.
"But it costs the artists money!" Bullshit, musicians don't make anything on CD sales (the last person who did died of a drug overdose, his name was Michael Jackson and he sold millions of records - not even the Beatles made money selling records until after they split up and Lennon got his face shot off). Musicians make money on concert footfall, and then they're paying royalties to their LABELS. Actors and filmmakers are paid in advance of publication, and their contracts stipulate no royalties - only the producer gets any royalties since it was he who stumped up the capital for the project in the first place!

I had "Kim Jong Putin" floating around up there for a while, but decided not to use it. Damn.

what's not a myth is the pay gap. Pay people what they're WORTH not what the Law says you can get away with. Cunts.
