...includes dedupe.
There was a blog entry a while ago where on a 256MB RAM machine someone was able to dedupe 600GB down to 400GB and the performance was fine. This is much unlike ZFS which wants the entire dedupe tree in memory and requires gigs and gigs of RAM.
If they are still collecting on 1.3 of the 26, then maybe it's a sample group of phones, for collecting service quality stats. 1.3MM/26MM happens to be exactly 5%. That's a nice round number.
When I ride the T or commuter rail, the bottleneck is at the doors to get in the cars. One small door on either end of the car, with people competing to get on and to get off.
*My* brilliant idea is to have the entire side wall of the car roll up like a garage door so that people can board and detrain en masse. The problem is with the placement of the seats.
Reading things like "she was lost" and "she's finally sent a weak signal" and stuff like that make me sad and want to send a rescue mission to save this hunk of metal and hydrazine flying through space.
It's worth a couple hundred for me to hang out in the terminal and watch commercial space flights landing and taking off as nonchalantly as though it were Logan (airport, that is). Even if I can't go up, it would still feel good to watch the activity man's nascent commercial space adventures.
I just tried to import my photos from FB to G+ and got a message from startgoogleplus saying, "Facebook isn't responding to requests from startgoogleplus.com". Looks like they put the kibosh on it in near record time.
