Orientation is a relative concept.
I used to work in shipping. When you do have to orient for some reason, the longest side is always the length, followed by width and height in decreasing distance.
Oh, and technically it is on the periodic table of elements. You're just looking in the wrong place. Graphene's just carbon graphite.
"...and telecoms companies say they cannot afford to keep more information about their customers..."Records will be kept for up to two years under the new measures.
Would it have to be stored physically? Because if a company restricts itself to storing the data digitally, it's a walk in the park by my understanding. Small buisnesses may have to higher one new tech to handle the database or extend the duties of an existing one (i.e. a pay raise; or not if they're stingy). Larger companies would obviously do the same, scaled to their size.
The digital storage space necessary to store a few extra strings of data per call would be a drop in a bucket.
Again, that's all if they can do it electronically.
I'm a former programming major (dropped out to pursue a major in law enforcement) and I've got 2 working machines of various origin and OS, a laptop, and 3 other machines that I'm actively "working on", not counting the stuff I have or haven't gotten rid of over the years, yet I wouldn't characterize myself as anything other than a novice.

Or maybe there's a software pirate on the lamb hiding in his attic. Cheese it man, it's the coppers!
