Amazon AWS is estimated to use between 1.5 million and 5.6 million servers. Each server probably has at least 2 hard drives in a RAID. Although, that estimate is almost a year old, now, so that could have increased a LOT.

So, you don’t think anyone’s surprised that Radio Shack was selling a 15 MB hard drive for $2500 in 1985? 30 years from now, our grandkids wouldn’t even bother picking a 16 TB thumb drive off the ground because it isn’t worth the effort.

“My parents never smiled. Because we had brain damage! My wife and I never smile because our children are loaded with it! Oh, my parents smile now, whenever they come over to my house and they see how much trouble I’m having. Oh, they have a ball!”

There’s a reason why sex is seen as sinful... Look at the demons it…

Late reply is late. Asserting your rights is not a privilege minorities have in this country. The likelihood of being charged with something (they’ll make shit up if necessary), beaten or killed raises exponentially as ones skin gets darker.

So... I’m assuming he’s not getting the PETA vote... WTF, dude! Dragons are endangered!

Armadillos HAVE to take taxis to Bond Street because philately will get you no where.

I work for a big internet company and get targeted for spear phishing several times a month. Passwords are like deadbolts. They’re great unless you simply invite the bad guy in.

And strong passwords are great... for now. How long until even the most complex passwords are easily hacked? Distributed brute force attacks…

This heavily depends on the initial starting temperature of the alcohol, yes? If the bottle is chilled or room temperature, chilling it down to 35 degrees will dilute it a different amount, right?

Yeah, like MitHC had a point.... The point Dick was making was that he could write a book whose plot points were based on (effectively) a roll of the dice and people would think it was a masterpiece because it was so ‘deep’.

By far, the worst book I have ever read in my entire life. The only fitting cover would be a…

You have to stir it up then stick it in the fridge... It doesn’t truly stop separation, just slows it to a manageable crawl so that you don’t end up with the clump at the bottom.

If you absolutely insist on leaving it out, you can store it on it’s side (assuming the lid is oil-tight) so when you go to stir it back up,…

That’s the whole purpose of keeping it in the fridge, though, right? Solidify the fats so they don’t separate after mixing it all together.

Go to Home Depot and borrow their paint mixer machine? I’ve never found anything that works better than an electric mixer, though it is almost always a messy proposition.

Philadelphia is like New York after it’s girlfriend dumped it and it got really, really drunk.

California thought they had plenty of water at one point, too.

Why not? It’s a rational policy.

So much love for protein... We get plenty of protein. What we REALLY need is an infographic that tells us what 10 grams of fiber looks like since that’s the single nutrient that no populations in the US are getting enough of.

And why a call-out for calories in peanuts but not peanut butter? Peanut butter is just mashed…

I don’t know why people keep trying to make this ‘point’. Veganism/vegetarianism is not a privilege. Meat is a luxury, not a necessity. There are some areas where you simply eat what you have access to, so being able to decide not to eat an available food is a luxury, but then you’d be saying that not eating broccoli…

I’m with you... This is a theft of the city’s water supply. In Phoenix, where it gets WAY above 100 degrees, you’d get arrested if you opened a fire hydrant. Hell, you’d get fined if you did this with your own hose spewing out water that you pay for. Just another example of New Yorkers’ entitled, arrogant attitude.…

Good grief... He makes her look like a freaking giant.

Also, she has got to be the inspiration for Trunchbull.

I’ve been using my coding skills to better America for a long time... Other people call it voter fraud. I call it patriotism!
