The practise was known as 'boilerplate'. Smaller newspapers would buy printing plates from larger newspapers and only add their own title block and a few local stories. That doesn't mean plagiarism though - it was a sale.
I would have said it looks like the empty quarter in Arabia, but I cannot see a single plastic bag, car tire or Coke bottle anywhere, so it has to be Mars after all.
In Canada, every half decent city has one or two places that recycles electronics, and if you want a cheap computer, then you can go there and buy one for about $50. The city dumps also accept fridges, batteries, tyres, computers, paint, chemicals and whatever for recycling/safe disposal. Best Buy, Staples and others will also take old electronics and toss it in a corner, then call the recycler when there is a truck load.
It looks like Nokia realized that their purpose is to make and sell phones that people want and can use. Which OS the stupid thing is running doesn't matter. What matters is whether it works or not.
Plug all the disks into a USB hub. Ensure that each one has a unique volume name eg bak1, bak2...
The old skool way is to make a little tar script and use volume spanning.
Otherwise, configure all the disks as a single JBOD and run DejaDup.
There is no water shortage. The earth is awash in the stuff. It is an energy shortage that makes reverse osmosis unprofitable. We should build more nuclear power plants.
...meanwhile, all nine provinces of South Africa got snow at the same time and severe flooding in the Karoo desert. Obviously this must be the start of the next Ice Age and it is clearly all due to Man Made Global Warming...

I live in the Arabian desert. It looks exactly like those Mars pictures. Except for all the blown in garbage.
Yup, everything doesn't look green in a forest. Your brain fixes the colour balance immediately.
So you won't ever want to use an electron microscope, IR, UV or X-ray camera, since those don't look natural either...

Hmm, I find Mons Veneris so much more interesting...
I think Moses was the first guy with rectangular tablets with rounded corners...

Yeah, more likely 1700000 furlong per fortnight.
Yah, apparently those two blond Swedish honeys were very nice...
The DOJ wants crooks to rush out and buy iPhones instead of Android phones, so that they can track and eavesdrop on them.
Hmm, making a RAID array from punch cards would be pushing the envelope... or is that pushing the paper tape...
In Soviet America, you need pre-approval for a signature campaign.
The ability to compress and stream music proved to be far more important than high fidelity sound. So a better sound device is kinda pointless.
I guess that the same people who don't want networking in X are the same people who uses VNC on Linux because they don't know better...

Hmm, I think only Argentina let Germans into their country in 1945.

Yeah, but Chronus, bookworms and the Catholic Church can still destroy your books...
Next thing you know, someone will post a 'straight line' tutorial for Gimp.
hundred thousand - hmmm - so all you need is 1 million likes to show a profit, which is generally how spamvertising works.
So now we have caffeine hopped sharks that never sleep. They won't need lasers on their heads.
The remote delete feature is the dumbest of dumb feature I ever heard of. That alone is a good reason not to use Apple products.
