I believe the asker didn't mention a price issue. Availability is one reason to redundantly "split your eggs into more than one basket". Cloud outages happen from time to time. If one vendor is unavailable (temporarily or closed down indefinately), you want your files to be available from another vendor.
Great, now we're gonna have drunken people driving drunken cars. -- Wife: "I smell alcohol. Have you been drinking again?" Husband: "No dear, it's the car." -- Police officer: "Sir, I'm going to ask your car to drive in a straight line and blow some fumes into this exhaustalyzer."
You may read and write those languages, but I bet you don't speak them.
My wife is illiterate WRT these languages but she sure speaks them. She normally passes me an array of methods to call, each with references to the child instances to apply them on. Of course most calls don't get executed since MyStack.size() evaluates to 1 and the overflow exception is ignored.
Also judging from technology's progress it should be only about a couple of decades before you can walk around with a pocketable, battery powered neutrino I/O device.
Here's the associated math: First we have to find the rate of reduction in size for neutrino communications systems. That would be an equivalent of Moore's law as a general guideline for scale reduction. This is the hard part. Just for argument's sake, let's say it turns out to be half the size in 18 months.
The rest is easy. A bunch of really smart guys find innovative ways of staying on this projected track and within 24 years you would have a 60mm neutrino transmitter and a 76 gram detector. I'll take that for a first pocketable version.
If the bandwidth drops at the same rate, then sending the word "neutrino" across would take 0.1 seconds (TFA mentions 2 hours currently). Not amazing, but enough for text messages. It would probably take another decade to deliver video.
Bottom line - IF industry gets serious about this technology (and the half-size rate turns out to be 18 months), we could witness a brain-implanted chip capable of communicating our thoughts without physical barriers by 2050. You may call it telepathy.
Google has become the new Microsoft. Microsoft... well they're still the same... while they're still around. FaceBook hasn't even gone through a do-no-evil phase.
Why stop there? ask for contacts. Better yet, use laser to etch the device on your natural lenses. Next thing is bio-engineering your genes to hook your brain directly to Google.
Here in Israel all our news comes from tapping media in the US who get it from the UK from hacking cell phone voicemail systems.
In the Middle East all the news comes from (mis)qouting news from Israel which comes from tapping media in the US who get it from the UK from hacking cell phone voicemail systems.
Voicemail systems in the UK are full of news items left by relatives in the Middle East.
As opposed to wise-ass remarks to this post, including mine, your suggestion is actually a good one. Did you suggest it on their site?
"Zeus had Argus slain by Hermes [who] first put all of Argus's eyes asleep with boring stories." (Wikipedia) In case Panoptes wins, I suggest installing a boring story alarm.
In TFA, NRAO director Fred Lo is quoted: "The new name should clearly reflect the VLA's leading role in the future of astronomy, while honouring its multitude of past achievements." I guess the achievements are the VLA's guest appearances in Contact and Independence Day. I therefore suggest:
Here is a cool idea: Build an Unmanned News Reporter and have it controlled by a gamer for live coverage of conflicts, disaster struck areas and other dangerous locations.
What surrounding air? Aren't we talking about propulsion in SPACE? I think they mean some form of wireless transmission of energy. If I understand correctly, the trick will be to efficiently convert that energy to motion on the receiving side.

Congressmen have already decided on creating the Department of Science. They're just looking for intelligent designers to do the job...
Next thing they'll be asking for a law against spam filters in email services.

I run Win2k ...
Firefox has detected an old version of Windows. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade Windows to the latest version.

I'm impressed. Back in DOS days I worked for a company that did pretty cool stuff with tiny TSRs. I haven't heard of any reactor usage for that SW.
On the lighter side, I guess BG will sign up with the reactor manufacturers to deliver all Personal-Reactors with MS-DOS only. ;-)
Does it run Linux?
Don't be ridiculous.It runs DOS.
There's no need to panic, it's fool proof. They've appointed General P. F. to take care of that.
I would start to worry when I see an Azure Cloud over Korea.
How can an intelligent designer make a mistake? Such a claim is blasphemy ;-)
"To err is (ape + genome copying mistake). To forgive is intelligent design."
I don't know if the media is biased against MS or not . I know I am.

The title says it all.

. . . but boron nitride.
Got that? It's night-ride, you boron!
This is a bit creepy: notice that on the Agenda slide, the first letters of the lines spell ODBC QC. Does MS have any hidden agenda?
Those 20ms shaved off the previous route could make for a super-fast sting operation against those using the old system.

I didn't know the Java 7 r1 bug/flare was that powerful...
