Red Dwarf smegging off.

Never mind my previous post, didn't read closely enough.

Minus the 117,000,000 beats used for excercising...

Leaving you 83,000,000 beats over Joe Average.

Male porn stars.

5 blades used in an array.

If I used raid and built a giant striped array weighing in at only 1 million grams (1000 kg or 2200 lb, less than your average car)...

2.2 million petabytes = 2.2 zettabytes

With a write speed of 1 MiB per day. (I hate it when they started doing the MiB, no more powers of 2)

Think of what we used to put on 5.25in floppies at 360k per disk.

Agreed. I was thinking the same about small shops that do know you and actually help you. How many cameras does a Wal-Mart or other supercenter have in store with time stamps? They could have us any way they want. Why not put pressure sensors in the floor that use timestamps to measure our weight and gait?

Or if you're so worried, buy it all at home or use a faraday cage/sleeve everytime you walk outside?

Now I'm beginning to ramble, but they've been able to track us for years.

Do I like it? No. Is it bothersome enough for me to do anything about it? No.

But then again, sometimes I'll leave the cell phone at home when I go out / turn my cell phone off at home. (no land line)

Little late to the discussion, but here. Get your old style menus back...

The Hobbit has roughly 100,000 words in it.

A picture is worth a 1,000 words.

So at 48fps, the movie should have been roughly two seconds long, right?
