You might find that an advantage, but the genes only care about reproduction. Maybe if perfect skin helped you take care of younger relations, then it could be selected for.

It's quite likely that it would have some consequences (our bodies are very complicated systems), but it wouldn't have been subject to selective pressure if it only has a major affect after child-bearing age. There's no advantage (in terms of gene replication) in a 60 year old having perfect skin if they're not going to be having any more offspring.

If Sony were at all concerned about the safety of their employees' private data then they would have taken steps to protect it BEFORE they were hacked. Sony have an abysmal history of computer security and this latest travesty is them trying to close the stable door after the horse has bolted in an attempt to stop their chickens coming home to roost.

Rihanna's "We found Dove in a soapless place".

I think you're confused about isolator/insulator. Wires are commonly wrapped in insulation (e.g. rubber) to prevent them conducting. You can also put insulation into your walls to reduce heat loss.

An isolator is typically a mechanical switch that would completely disconnect an electrical circuit.

Do you mean like the Call of Duty series?

When you write $100.000 do you mean $100 or $100,000? I can't figure out why you've got three zeroes after the decimal point unless you're using it instead of a comma.

If the disks were members of a RAID set, then you'd have to steal them all at the same time otherwise you'd have inconsistent filesystems. With a bit of skill, you could probably read some data, but you'd be better off transferring data over a network as that wouldn't involve physical access to a server room (which typically have some kind of monitoring cameras installed).

However, if you had two AIs and one of them was focussed on replication, I'd imagine we'd end up AIs competing for resources.

Don't forget leap years - 365 was quite accurate the last time Microsoft forgot about February 29th.

I'm disappointed that they edited out my original comment: "Office 365 (maybe an optimistic name)".

Yes, they used faith rather than science, even though they were supposed to be conducting scientific experiments. Just because they were doing it wrong doesn't mean that you can extrapolate that to people who do it right.

In addition to your other reply, the feature film RED (with Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich etc) was based on one of his graphic novels.
