One month ago BMW called back worldwide 580 X5 3.0 with manual transmission. When touching the clutch slightly, the car accelerates at full throttle, even is the gas pedal is pushed only a little.
Last year I drove a volkswagen passat (model above Jetta) with the very fine 1.9L turbo diesel. It has a 62 litre fuel-tank and most of the time I drove 1200 km before refueling. That's 49 mpg for you. Only on some smaller trips I got above 60 mpg (3.9l/100km).
But on the other hand, it has more space than some of your typical SUV.:-)
As is backup, archiving and reliable storing of important information. Isn't it?
I've used a 640MB 3.5" drive with 30+ disks for some years. I think it's one of the most reliable way to store information.
At least more reliable than two IBMs in a RAID-1, a CD/DVD backup to cheap media after two years or a magnetic tape left on a loudspeaker or TV.
And it (was) even way cheaper than ZIP. IIRC after the 10th 120 MB ZIP disk, MO was way cheaper.
ZIP worked out, because iOmega made the drive and was (at first) the only media supplier. That's not possible with all these official ISO standards around MO.

I'll be impressed if anyone manages a flying model start destoyer. I mean, it doesn't have to hover or anything, just fly like any other model plane.
Counterpoint: AMD64. Intel has been pushing a non-backward-compatible 64-bit architecture for years now.
[and is now using AMD64 as well]
No, point proven. Intel is so powerful, it can easily kill its own top produtcs as well.
Just like IDE drives have outsold SCSI, but you don't see that going anywhere, do you?
:-(
Yeah, just try to buy any SCSI CD-ROM burner or DVD drive, not to mention DVD burners. Optical IDE drives oldsold SCSI drives and SCSI went away
As long as there will be no "New Battlestar Galactica 1980^W2010" in 6 years from now, it'll be fine with me.

Confusion startet long ago with the introduction of the "1.44MB" floppy disk drive. Which is actually:
1.44 * 1000 * 1024 bytes
Now that's sick.
But it's all solved through Gibi bytes and HD makers
explaining the use of the SI for _years_.
They already did: They are called microBTX and picoBTX. See the PDF...
I assume, that the only archive is on harddisks which might fail, be deleted or else.
Then the only archive is offsite on a poor 120GB IDE drive.
So if you accidently delete your backup server, there is no archive or backup at all?
Only the removable 120GB harddrive that just fell on the floor?
If you only use online disk space for backup. Where do you get your backup from, when all the online disk space is accidently deleted or destroyed?
