I don't know of any long-term backup solutions aside from gold CDs to be quite honest. If they're not prone to bit-rot, they media reader's interface will be obsolete on new equipment. It's doable, but not without first creating bridge solutions and data migration. The way I see it, migrate from media to media as technology progresses, or face an entire migration project later.
I suppose you could archive on flash drives, but I haven't a clue as to what the life expectancy of the flash chips are before bits start flipping randomly (gates change on die).
Low hanging fruit. If a COP sees you burning out at a stop sign/light, expect to get ticketed for it. I know because it happened to both me and a friend of mine.
CDRs suffer nasty bitrot. Usually most CDs made in the past 10 years. I suppose you could have vacuum sealed them, but how many people knew to do that?!! You can get medical grade gold disks, but those you have to special order (not found in your local computer store).
One of my clients geoscience data projects archived in CDRs. It's only when they went to pull them did they discover the bitrot problem. We used Nero DiskSpeed to performa surface scan. You can see entire segments where goes green (good), transitions into yellow (correctible), to red (damaged unreadable) and the back out to yellow and green again. It's the material that oxidizes. Since then, they pulled all data they could back onto disk and tape. God only knows how long that will last too.
Correct. I used to hang out at the Royal Purple Raceway. So it's legal there. But contrast that to say Rankin Road (back in 2000 and prior), it was a massive bust on the weekend nights. Being a public road and all. Police would show upon the hour and cuff racers and spectators alike. For good reason too. Many fatalities occurred there in its long illegal tradition.
I was always under the impression that life started in hydrothermal vents via a process known a chemosynthesis. Eventually some of the cells developed an evolutionary adaptation toward the surface of the water. Photosynthesis is now in play, and the rest as they say, is history. Welcome to the Great Oxygenation Event and all that followed thereafter.
The process seems pretty strait forward. Almost inevitable for any ocean baring planet. I guess will know soon enough should we detect oxygen rich small exo-planets like Earth.
Assuming the Universe is filled with copious "Earths", it's not a guerantee that life will be intelligent. And for the sake of argument, assuming the natives are intelligent, their motives most likely would be completely different than anything we could imagine. Something akin to comparing Humans and Dolphins. Both very intelligent, yet with completely separate ambitions in how they live their lives. Quite possibly, Humans are the only intelligent species looking up and beyond the confines of our own Planet. That may explain the Fermi paradox. We're the only living creatures that cares of such things!
Credential inflation coupled with supply and demand in the market place. If you have more people looking for a job with CS degrees than positions available as an IT administrator, then a CS is a *requirement* as part of the criteria of not having your resume filtered out. HR has to cut the stack somewhere, or so that's their rational. And yes, a CS degree isn't needed to be an excellent IT administrator. Again, just required to get an interview.
The new America: Crushing the middle class, consolidating wealth to the 0.25% of the wealthy, and importing cheap labor and/or outsourcing work. America is starting to become the new Mexico where we have a new have and have-not society. The middle-class is a threat to those in power and wanting to stay in power. This nation is fucked. And we haven't even talked about soon-to-be hyper inflation spurned by insolvency. But that's ok right? Hyper inflation will just create an even larger disparity in wealthy. By design!!!
You have it all wrong Jody. The whole damn point of "Cloud" is to abstract your business from the employees. The end-game in all this is to run your business anywhere in the world while simultaneously outsource your staff to anywhere in the world. Having your company in the "Cloud" makes that possible. So no, this marketing horseshit is only getting started.
SQL, MS Exchange, Virtual Machines, ensuring daily backups complete in a 24 hour period (for large daily delta changes), etc. Yes, I can think of a few important applications for this.
ZeroAccess is particularly nasty. It sets up a P2P network with other infected machines and stores 8GB of crap in the Sysvol directory in Windows. I used Norton Power Eraser to remove the root kit. Because it runs in Kernel memory, the processes are hidden even if you use Process Explorer.
So what happens to the nervous system when exposed to liquid metal? The brain and muscles that work off electrical impulses. Wouldn't liquid metal interfere with this?
Assuming bandwidth is available for both spooling print/plotters jobs and RDP (RemoteFX technologies used too), you could just run thin-clients throughout the office.
As someone that lives in an apartment where about 1/8th the residents own dogs; the owners need shock collars of their own. Quite literally, they let their dogs shit on the sidewalks and parking lot. "Land-mines" galore! One of my neighbors created a morning ritual in which she lets her retriever piss on the stairway.
I'm convinced that if people can't be respectful and cleanup after their pets, they shouldn't be allowed to have children! Further more, the next time I see an owner actively let his/her dog pinch a loaf of the sidewalk, I will call them out on it shortly after recording the video. This video will be sent as an e-mail attachment to management!

My son's birth costed me 6k. The family plan states a deductible of 3k per individual. So my wife and son combined capped out their total for the year.
When I told my father this (because we were talking about this subject), he said he only had to pay $250 for my birth. And that was 37 years ago. $250 vs. $6,000. WTF happened to the industry between then and now?! That's seriously fucked up!!!

Right, but what about resistance (ohms law) of blood vs gallium? Does it matter?

Get rid of the bloat and start coding in ASM. Of course, those developers aren't cheap are they?
Well, radiation does accelerate the process...
