interesting video, but that aluminum vacuum chamber has one flaw, even though they can pump out all the atmosphere and molecules there is something that can not be pumped out and that is earth's gravitational pull.
only a damn fool with way too much money would pay 160 thousand dollars for it, i would not give more than 50 bucks for an obsolete computer even if it was in pristine condition.
yup, now that Google has their namebrand recognition they dont give a damn anymore as if they left the office with their servers running on autopilot while they are all out vacationing while the revenue rolls in. typical of most companies = they start out with benevolent ideals and once the ball is rolling and the money starts pouring in then it all goes to heck while the owners go out and play rich guy.
if you can not get it back down to earth undamaged so you can re-sell it, it might be worth a little up in orbit to those that can get to it, but it is more of an expense than an equity.
A young teenage girl was about to finish her first year of college. She considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat but her father was a rather staunch Republican.
One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to taxes and welfare programs. He stopped her and asked her how she was doing in school.
She answered that she had a 4.0 GPA but it was really tough. She had to study all the time, and she never had time to go out and party. She didn't have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying.
He asked, "How is your friend Mary?" She replied that Mary was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA and never studied. She was very popular on campus and went to parties all the time. She often didn't show up for classes because she was hung over.
Dad then asked his daughter why she didn't go to the Dean's office and have 1.0 taken off her 4.0 and give it to her friend with the 2.0. That way they would both have a 3.0 GPA.
The daughter angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair! I worked really hard for mine and Mary has done nothing."
The father slowly smiled and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
I would definitely not let a monkey like you get near my computers if some intense file copy was going on and they wanted to start doing other things while that was going on, sure you can do it but that does not make it a prudent thing to do, and the file may copy over just fine, and it may lose a few bits without even reporting any errors and that can happen on any OS, BSD, Linux, Winders & etc...etc...etc...
i just run it and let it own the computer for whatever time it takes = anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, and just walk off, maybe go get a fresh cup of coffee or cold beer depending on where i am and what time of day it is. one thing i dont want is a borked copy because i was too impatient to let it do its job.

GNU is not unix, (Linux isnt either)
that is a FOSS community developed project, not owned and developed by a for-profit MegaCorPirate
but what about frequent fliers, maybe they dont want repeated exposure to harmful xray radiations

and a link to get the NeverCookie, I was disappointed when I got to the part where it is not available yet.
or maybe hopefully in the firefox "addons" dialog box will offer it for download, because I want this NeverCookie and I wont forget it

i always sensed Ozzy was a little primitive, in a sort of caveman kind of way.

you all trust and have much more confidence in computers than I do, I surely don't trust them and have very little confidence in them

it uses mozilla's gecko engine, even more bare bones than firefox, a little rough around the edges but overall an ok browser. (windows only)
