Ok this thing has a Mylar disk right? Well that's what floppies have. A Floppy disk is made from a plastic film which is Mylar. This is covered in a thin layer of a magnetic material. With 3.5" it is incased in a hard plastic shell. This card has a hard plastic shell, sure the article also said that the card had integrated circuitry for encryption, but that doesn't make it a hard drive. SO.... the real question is what technology are they using to squeeze that much data onto a mylar disk that is smaller than the Mylar disk in a floppy drive.
Neil Gaiman has written the Sandman series, Neverwhere, Stardust, Smoke and Mirrors, American Gods, Coraline and a few other assorted works. He, also, co-wrote Good Omens with Terry Prachett. All are fantastic works; however, a number of his works stand out. American Gods is by far his best work to date, and it won the 2002 Hugo. He also received the World Fantasy Award for best short story for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" that is in the Third Sandman Graphic Novel. This was the first and only time that this award was given for a Comic book. His short story collection,Smoke and Mirrors is quite excellent as well. Some of the stories in the collection simply blew my mind. It is my firm belief that in 20 or 30 years Gaiman will be taught in school as one of the classic authors during the late 20th century and early 21st.
...Great... Now not only will I have to worry about what people think of me when my phone goes off, I also have to worry about what they will think of my taste in music. Just give me a good old boring ring and forget the whole d@mn business.
There were in fact 5 missions that landed on the moon. Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17.
Landing Coordinates: Apollo 11: 0.71 degrees North, 23.63 degrees East Apollo 12: 3.04 degrees South, 23.42 degrees West Apollo 14: 3.65 degrees south, 17.48 degrees West Apollo 15: 26.08 degrees North, 3.66 degrees East Apollo 16: 8.97 degrees South, 15.51 degrees East Apollo 17: 20.16 degrees North, 30.77 degrees East http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/history/apollo/flight- summary.txt

Now I won't have to use that cheapo zip zoom card. Cause, we are sure that this tech will have fewer bugs than any old cheap scsi card.
5 *more* missions that is... bringing the total to 6 missions

Seeing as it runs a Crusoe proc, I wonder how much porting you would have to do!
