For smaller businesses (even up to a few hundred employees)
I interpreted "smaller businesses" to mean not the kind of company that has large dollar contracts worth worrying about to the level you're suggesting?
Do you really think anyone in their right mind is going to trust your "she'll be right" attitude if large dollar contracts are amongst the documents being migrated?
I agree with you that no organisation with a decent cashflow/income (that would have data worthy of serious protection) is going to swap out their infrastructure every 6 months to save a small amount of money like that. I interpreted his example as a thought exercise, not a real life situation - this is the kind of IaaS project that would be done by an organisation currently storing their most recent "server" data shared off a $79 USB drive connected to the receptionist's PC...
I like the thinking behind the example - it's a business case option, balancing risk versus reward. I can imagine a large organisation having used their internal dev team to leverage Wave since its release to meet a specific business need, who may now have saved themselves millions compared to deployment of a full commercial product. Now they'd have to scramble to build a replacement or find something else - if the savings had been large enough it might have been worth it.
Only very small shops, or massively large organisations, would contemplate something like this (and only the small shops would actually do it!).
There is also one other thing I have seen come out of these kind of children, less emotion. That may or may not be a good thing.
It's good, and bad, depending on the context.
My son is 7, and his diagnosis (at 2 years old) was PDD-NOS, not Aspergers exactly but he is certainly on the spectrum.
I feel bad sometimes when I see that he isn't interacting with other kids in the way they would expect him to, he pretty much weirds them out. On the flip side, my nieces and nephews (who are in a similar age range) are going through all sorts of mess right now, trying to fit in with their social group, not dealing well with not being accepted or liked.
I love the fact that most of that peer pressure BS will go straight over my son's head, he doesn't give a shit if someone likes him or not, and doesn't feel pressured to conform (even when it's me, telling him to clean his teeth...sigh).
Sometimes the weaknesses are also strengths.
At least on the way to the asteroid belts, there won't be any murders!
You can't guarantee that unless you only send a single person... especially if you send an international/mixed gender crew - or a married couple!
What are you going to do? Get a bald headed guy with a British accent to play him? I got news for you
pal, baldness will be cured in the 23rd century!
Take one meter. Make a cube of that side, a cubic meter. Fill that with water near the sea level and you get a volume of 1 Liter of water. Which happens to have a mass of Kilogram
Your argument is absolutely spot on - just wanted to mention that 1 cubic metre of water is 1000 litres and weighs exactly 1000 kilograms (one metric ton)

FYI - for all you imperial measurement lovers out there, a metric ton is 2204.62262 pounds... awesome.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
