Not necessarily. Corporations are a special kind of thing. They are cultural organizations, thus they represent (to an extent) people. Thus acting in any way toward a corporation is as much acting toward a thing as it is acting toward a group of people.
X11 tru, but not even what makes timing so different. it is windows taking care of its gui (or at least much of it) in process with the OS that really changes things.
x11 has to go through system calls.
Basically they have a good idea what a gravity wave will look like when it comes from a particular object. They are simply looking for a similar 'signature'.
You can't actually focus the detectors for this, they just interpret what is detected.
If the fact that there are more than one of these detectors confuses anyone... They are simply (or not so simply) used to filter out the vibrations coming from our own planet. The detectors should see the waves coming from space the same way. Any differences (above a tiny margin) are considered to be coming from earth.
So, I guess you could say that they focus, but rather than focusing on a particular object in space, they focus on all objects outside our planet.
I wouldn't use hard drives for back up in any scenario. They are really unreliable. I'm sure we all have a few drives that *just died* lying around. That's why you need something that has the storage mechanism separate from the storage medium.
So, use tape drives for short term. Don't worry about massive data as it is likely to not be changed the next backup around. There are many apps out there that will backup only what actually changed. After the first backup, you can just leave the tape in the drive and automate it.
Then every year copy your tapes to DVD's, as at least these will last few years and put them in a place outside your house, like a safe box or something. Burning is a hassle, especially with lots of data, but once a year is not that bad.
This will only last you a little longer though. So you will need to copy those DVD's onto other media/formats.
In 10 years, chances are that it will be a challenge finding a device capable of reading your backup format/media. Even DVD's will not last that long. They will be replaced by drives 1/10th the size and 1000 the capacity. Not to mention the file systems will likely go through a big change as well.

blah... read process as space. i meant system space. too many thoughts at the same time.

It looks to me like they didn't just write him off. He just didn't want to wait a week or two, so he took it against them.
