A preacher wanted to raise money for his church, and being told that there was a fortune in horse racing, decided to buy one and enter him in the races. However, at the local auction, the going price of a horse was so high that he bought a donkey instead. He figured that since he had it he might as well go ahead and enter it in the races, and to his surprise the donkey came in third. The next day, the racing sheets carried this headline:
"PREACHER'S ASS SHOWS" The preacher was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the races again, and this time it won! The paper read:
"PREACHER'S ASS OUT IN FRONT" The bishop was so upset with this publicity that he ordered the preacher not to enter his donkey in another race. The headlines read:
"BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHER'S ASS" This was too much for the bishop and he ordered the preacher to get rid of the animal. The preacher decided to give it to a nun in the nearby convent. The headlines read:
"NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN" The bishop fainted! He informed the nun that she would have to dispose of the donkey. She finally found a farmer willing to buy him for $10. The paper read:
"NUN PEDDLES ASS FOR TEN BUCKS" They buried the bishop the next day. The headline?:

if you don't mind cutting on reliability, go ahead. just don't complain if you lose your precious data.
DV tapes have a much higher failure-rate than backup-tapes. the consequences on your backup can be much worse than a short glitch in your home video...
i could imagine, that -converted to digital data- just reading this stupid comment, produced 1Tbit of data...
think about the whole sensoric data from your eyes, the deep database access produced by your interpretation of individual patterns (read: letters) and following the endless ramifications, spreading through completely unrelated structures, changing your overall state of mind (read: anger rising)... you can't fill that in 1 TBit of data...
aaargh, if i only hadn't wasted my mod-points on promoting some irrelevant, but well written comment this morning!!
this is one of the worst comments, i have seen in a while and i would not have a problem with concentrating on demoting here...
it reeks of misunderstanding of not only the parent's post, but of general facts of live. and even though the author implies, that he is a natural english speaker(which i'm not), the grammar and style is very poor.
anyway, the comment is pretty long, and i'll leave it to other people to pick on the several errors and lies. my time is wasted by writing that much, already.
I used to breath out in one spot, then dash to the other side of the driveway.
"i don't know, mr. officer, he... he just came running 'cross the street! i... i had no chance to react! omygodomygod... and this is my first month as a busdriver...":)
Who is IBM going to hire? The smelly, snorting, pale guy who can't relate to anyone, or the equally qualified, good-looking (or at least clean/not fat), sociable, interesting guy?
by any chance, i'm a pale, but good-looking guy! i'm snorting at the moment, but this will be over soon. *snort* i'm sometimes sociable, but don't try to make myself especially interesting. oh, and i can relate to people, but not to everyone. especially not to BLACK & WHITE people like YOU! got it?
although you maybe just tried to be funny, posts like yours ruin what would be an otherwise good and interesting discussion. this is my opinion.

the point of a worm is not to cripple the machine as long as it can be used to infect other computers, right?

but i like it simple.

how do you define data in a human brain?
