A safe location? If even the bank is not a safe location, what do you think is a safe location? What if there's a fire? Somewhere safe where, for instance, it will all be instantly seized if law enforcement happened to figure out where it was? I mean you never know, your kid could be a pot smoker and they could bring drug/currency dogs to sniff around your house. And a large pile of cash would be instantly seized, because "everyone" knows only drug dealers and criminals have large piles of cash, right?
I mean, shit happens. Ask Copperfield. I'm pretty sure he still hasn't had that $2 million back.
I guess you could always have a safe deposit box in a bank. Oh wait...
$200 for only 1 TB of storage is far from impressive.
I think you're missing a major point here. SSD owners do not simply gain the benefit of "storage". The access speed is the important part. Read/Write speeds increase in proportion to drive size on platter drives. Cache helps a bit with this. Increasing the number of heads helps a bit. But that's the major problem. I switched to SSD years ago and I would never, ever own a platter drive again simply because I couldn't take the slow access speed. Storage capacity is fixed by simply buying more SSD drives. Yes it means I have to keep track of what I put where but that's not a big deal.
So if you go around quoting a 5TB drive at $200 as if it was a "good thing" I still wouldn't touch it. I can just imagine how long it would take me to manipulate TB's of data on that drive, let alone copy sizeable chunks to/from that drive. Like someone else said, it would be comparing apples to oranges, or a boat to an airplane. Yeah, you can fit a lot of cargo on a ship, if you don't mind the 2-3 weeks it takes to get to your destination. Or you could pay more and make many, many plane trips in 1/10th of the time.
Hey don't knock $100+/bbl oil. It got a lot of countries a lot of alternative energy sources. Even now with cheaper oil, I don't see Germany shutting down its solar/wind projects. They will still be making electricity for a long time. The trick is convincing someone to make the initial investment.
If it's Trump then I predict a change to a program to send people to Venus. It's a lot closer, is similarly sized to earth, and has a real atmosphere.
Please tell me you're joking, right? Sorry if I missed the sarcasm. I don't consider 500 degree sulfuric acid at 90 atmospheres to be much of an advantage. Anyway everyone knows Trump would be more interested in building a casino on the moon.
Sputnik was never intended as a "slap in the face to anyone". Self centered people tend to think that others do things especially for their own benefit. Sputnik was a mere step forward in technology. It would have been difficult to create an orbital satellite that did NOT fly over the United States at some point or other. That America decided to take it as a personal insult from "those commie bastards" is another thing entirely.
Polymixin use in humans is extremely rare. Guess where this resistance is coming from? Veterinary use of prophylactic antibiotics to boost livestock yields.
The repository includes information on everything we could possibly need to know, such as how to convert sugar into energy, how to evade a predator on the savannah, and, most critically for evolution, how to reproduce or self-replicate."
It's not true. I'm sure there's plenty of "knowledge" still to come. And I'm also sure there's plenty of information that we used to "know" that we don't anymore. Otherwise he would be arguing that we are the end point of evolution and that nothing has ever gone extinct before.
3. a person engaged in a particular field, activity, or cause: a worker in psychological research; a worker for the Republican Party.
4. Entomology.
a member of a caste of sexually underdeveloped, nonreproductive bees, specialized to collect food and maintain the hive.
a similar member of a specialized caste of ants, termites, or wasps.
5. Printing. one of a set of electrotyped plates used to print from (contrasted with molder2.).
6.any of several rollers covered with card clothing that work in combination with the stripper rollers and the cylinder in the carding of fibers.
From here.
A worker is a person who does work. What do you think slaves did in the fields - play charades? Sing? No, they did work. Hard work. You're the one inventing that workers have to be paid. If you work for a week and your boss is an asshole and doesn't pay you, does that mean you're a slave? No. Is an intern who does work for free considered a slave? No.
A Manhattan DA is going after a California based company that has its manufacturing in China and most of its assets in Ireland. Yeah. Good luck with that.
Enforce the law. By force if necessary. Government has no problem using force on you when you brake the law, up to and including deadly force. Why is immigration law different?

Pull 30,000 pounds with a stock F150? You sir are full of shit.
If you use credit/debit cards advertisers already know exactly which stores you shop at, and what time you shop, and what you buy.

But wouldn't that make you twice as likely to be attacked?
and how many times can you read and write the SSD? Indexing?
You're out of date. SSD MTBF's are now better than platter drives. Not the same. BETTER. You think your 7200rpm drive is perfect and will never fail?
Fair comparisons: You can buy this for only $21.50 per mph or this for $1180 per mph. Now which one would you rather have?

I'm so often reminded of the "Tortoise and the Hare" tale when I think about the United States.

Mendel - an Augustinian friar - is the father of genetics. Sheesh didn't you go to school at all?
And Disney can only write the same story, over and over again.

And the best bit is - no teleprompter!
Well of course we can argue that Islam contributed a lot to modern science. The problem is the last contributions were almost 1,000 years ago.

When I was young you could make love on the beach. Now you go to jail if you get caught.

Snowden is simply today's Emmanuel Goldstein.
Break, not brake... damn typo.
So what should they do?
