That's around 250 HDDs a year at current densities, or 600 tapes. That's not a trivial number, but for a large organization like the LHC it shouldn't be much of a problem. You could fit all of those hard drives in about 20 RU with room for redundancy if you really wanted to. That's half a rack a year.
Many diseases have animal reservoirs they can keep a population in if there are no available human hosts around. Sometimes the animal is the preferred host and the human infections/deaths are a side effect. In cases like those, immunization alone won't eradicate the disease, not unless we figure out a way to start immunizing wild animals/insects. For diseases that are human specific like smallpox, there is a chance to eradicate the disease entirely with a global immunization campaign.
That said, mass vaccinations for diseases with animal hosts can still make a huge difference. It's a lot easier to fight a disease when it only shows up in sporadic cases where people live near wild animals. It does mean that we won't be free of Malaria or West Nile for a long time sadly.
The downside of that it that it is too abstract. Kids won't get to be real project managers in class. Not all of them at least. With programming everybody can participate.
What reason did you have to think that a professional politician wouldn't hire professional propagandists? Was Vladimir Putin's reputation too pristine to contemplate such a deal?
This looks a lot more like plain old propaganda. It's not really internet trolling in the traditional sense.
Is "internet troll' some sort of clickbait term? We heard it last year for people who were physically stalking women and it didn't make any sense then either.
Learning any specific language isn't so important IMHO, but learning how to solve problems logically is certainly a skill that more people could use. Learning how to decompose large problems into smaller ones that can be solved individually is also really valuable. Programming itself is maybe less important than being able to think like a programmer. It's not a natural skill, and I meet a lot of adults that are downright terrible at this.
If the laws we have now were in place back then the computer revolution wouldn't have happened. We would still be paying $5000 for IBM Mainframe access terminals.
Or in a slightly less Dystopian view, computers today would look like iPhones, with one vendor having a stranglehold on the platform and completely anemic third party hardware support outside of cosmetics.
Why can't Android devices mount EXT4 formatted SD cards? Or better yet, format them if they're FAT32? Granted you won't be able to plug your SD card into your camera or Windows box, but I don't think that's a common use case for cards stuffed in phones.
They're only talking about it because they're obsessed with latency. Bandwidth over the fibers will be much higher than what you can do with Microwave, and most people would rather have an extra 100Gbps than a few microseconds less latency.
The land was only "worthless" because it had liens exceeding the value of the property. So it was secretly expensive land disguised as incredibly cheap land.
Employees don't really seem to be assets as far as the stock market is concerned. They are an expense that you suffer so the business will still operate. Assets are things that you can sell, like buildings and equipment.
Markets always crash. It's how they operate. People make money not by owning stocks, but by owning stocks that are moving. It's not in their interest to have a stable marketplace. That's why the stock market will always be volatile, because the people who run it need the volatility to skim off their percentage.
Real Estate will always be worth something. Even if we decide that precious metals are worthless (maybe someone invents a Star Trek replicator), land will always have value. At the very least you can farm it and feed yourself and your family.
My experience with lost/rediscovered films like this is that they were usually lost for a reason. Nobody cared enough to keep it safe when it was new, and today it is at best a historical curiosity. More often the film is just straight up boring or terrible and maybe it was lost for a reason.

Bah, you're right. I typoed in 1.5TB instead of 15TB. So you go from half a rack to 5 racks. Still not an unmanageable amount of hardware.
They're crappy speakers in a tube. $325 was a ripoff.

Oh yes, all of those Particle Physicists definitely got in it for the money... Check out that 15 year old Volvo lifestyle!

That's not how vaccines work.
I don't think those came with boxes. You had to personally know the Steves to get one of those, and they were hand built in Job's garage.
If he was going to do that why not do it right from the start? With all of the media fuss now the real lady might show up.

Unless you get your Internet over the air (Satellite or Cell) your provider's caps are embarrassingly small. That's straight up ridiculous for 2015.
Didn't John Carmack get sued for basically the same reason? Failing to give himself a brain wipe after leaving Bethesda?
I wonder how many articles are going to be tagged "penis"?

So the lesson is that if you have a pre-Android 4.3 phone, you definitely need to upgrade it to 4.4 or later. No problem.

Isn't that what Chrome (not Chromium) is for? It's the entire reason I have it installed on my laptop.
