Unless you want to talk about the proper methods by which to balance the processor consumption versus memory bandwidth consumption of index generation algorithms using doubly linked list sectorization on Opteron processors,
In fact, such hard disks have been built. Conner Peripherals, which was an innovator in the hard disk field in the late 1980s and early 1990s (they later went bankrupt and their product line and technology were purchased by Seagate) had a drive model called the Chinook that had two complete head-actuator assemblies: two sets of heads, sliders and arms and two actuators. They also duplicated the control circuitry to allow them to run independently. For its time, this drive was a great performer. But the drive never gained wide acceptance, and the design was dropped. Nobody to my knowledge has tried to repeat the experiment in the last several years.
From dictionay.com: USAGE NOTE Enormity is frequently used to refer simply to the property of being great in size or extent, but many would prefer that enormousness (or a synonym such as immensity) be used for this general sense and that enormity be limited to situations that demand a negative moral judgment, as in Not until the war ended and journalists were able to enter Cambodia did the world really become aware of the enormity of Pol Pot's oppression.

Dear Microsoft,
I would like to rat out the folks that gave me the counterfeit copy of your software. You can find them at a flea market in a remote part of the Philippines.

So you're the guy writing 24's scripts!
Yes, but can you an article claiming that Cringely is does have something worthwhile? Didn't think so!
For all you culture-dense chaps:

Great, now Al-Qaeda has something new to fight for.
It's not unsubstantiated; it's on slashdot.
Think if he built a server out of FedEx boxes it could withstand the /. crowd?
If you subtract from that 10% the few % of the population that die from cancer anyway, it's not as bad a statistic.
It's like whining over how many died in Operation Desert Storm - a greater % of them would have died in normal accidents had they stayed at home.

Haha, you can't spell "trajectory." You must not know very much!
It used to take your computer 4.762 DBs for Safari to open? What're you running it on, a Tangerine iMac?
Now THIS is podcasting!
Ow.
