Some sort of Steadicam arm to hold everything at the right height in front of you? You could walk around, even go to the bathroom without missing a tweet.
Probably something to do with file permissions, lazy programmers writing files where they shouldn't. Have you tried running them in compatibility mode?
And these centrifuges of yours will be powered by what? Hamsters?
Maybe the space pigs (are we really going to grow lettuce and tomatoes but have no pigs around?)
OTOH they might use a bit of the electricity the summary was talking about. With no air friction a centrifuge wouldn't need much to keep it going once it was started.
So from my perspective NASA etc nowadays are mainly a waste of resources. They're not really working on the necessary steps for the long term survival of the species in space. They're just sending expensive toys to mars and other places.
I dunno. I think a lot of the stuff they do is a waste of money (the ISS, anything to do with sending humans into space) but they're the only ones doing anything at the moment. That alone is worth $5/person/year.
Never mind the lettuce, what about the cows? How will cows stand up to low gravity? How will they grow enough grass to feed them? The ISS hasn't provided any experimental data on this.
But, since I do have an armchair and since I am an engineer I figure they will ultimately have to try some sort of lubricant or thread treatment, the risk of snapping off the bolt is too high.
If anybody bothers to read the article it mentions "metal shavings on one of its bolts and around the housing" when they removed the bolt and now it won't go back in again.
Looking at a few random posts it doesn't seem like anybody bothered - none of them are remotely related to the problem (ie. the thread needs cleaning).
Applying more force to a damaged thread will probably make it much, much worse. NASA is right to not force it.
Anecdote: This happened to my bike pedal. The pedal has a steel thread and the crank is aluminum. After a couple of months the aluminum gave up the ghost and the pedal fell out. I put some Araldite on the bolt and what was left of the crank thread and screwed it together. It's been fine ever since, maybe they could do that.:-)
s/CRC32/sha1 or md5, you won't be CPU bound anyway.
Whatever you use it's going to be SLOW on 5TB of data. You can probably eliminate 90% of the work just by: a) Looking at file sizes, then b) Looking at the first few bytes of files with the same size.

I don't think you tried very hard.
I got mine from Farnell in less than a week.
I ordered mine from Farnell two weeks ago. They quoted three weeks for shipping. It arrived last week.
You can buy drugs with them...

Both Apple and Sun released 64 bit and 32 bit OS's and got very little of this you cant run this 32bit app in your 64bit OS.
Um, neither did Windows. I don't think I've seen a 32-bit app that won't run on 64 bit Windows.
(Drivers are another matter...)
I guess the sun doesn't work in space...why not create greenhouses and use the sun to grow plants rather than create some overly complex system?
... 2 week lunar night...
...which was even mentioned in the summary!
But really we want pigs. Can't make a BLT without pigs.
You could even exercise them on big hamster wheels to:
a) Improve the flavor
b) Provide some electricity for growing the L+T

HTML bold tags. How do those work?

I NEED USB to work and be 100% solid. so, still waiting on that.
Have you tried the "smsc95xx.turbo mode=n" fix?
(Just add that parameter to /boot/cmdline.txt...)
I received my Raspberry Pi last week so I'm getting a kick out of your misery.
Heretic!
The TCO of is more than the cost of installing it.

Do "full blooded software development" and "PHP" belong in the same sentence?
Yep. I predict a whole bunch of armchair engineers telling NASA how to unscrew a bolt on a trillion dollar space station.
Duct tape, WD40, ... I think I'll skip this one.

a) Looking at file sizes, then
b) Looking at the first few bytes of files with the same size.
After THAT you can start with the checksums.
Did you read the bit about "doing a full compare on any file with the same CRC"?
The CRC is just for bringing likely files together. It will work fine.
Other countries have been doing it for years...
There are MANY Visitors to Africa that would certainly be pleased to not have to worry so much about Malaria.
All we need now is a pill to wipe out the TSA...
seriously?
Why should an insurance company have to make you rich?
Believe it or not, you *don't* have a right to free money in this world.
