Read up on jumbo frames.

Did these unintentional releases coincide with solar flares or CMEs hitting the station? Did they occur when the ISS was in the SAA?

Nah, that's NCIS's job. Abby and Probie McGee will handle it!

I know you're being snarky with the SAN you refer to, but in all seriousness Synology makes some VERY righteous SANs at decent prices. A have a (now discontinued) 1010+, and it rocks. I run a VMWare farm off it's iSCSI system as well as use it for iTunes and other streaming services.

No financial interest, just a happy customer.

That has been done and abandoned. HPT (head-per-track) drives were popular way back, but were a bear to keep aligned.

Thorium molten salt reactors are quite capable of load-following. In fact, load-following happens as an intrinsic feature of their design and can be optimized for as described in the linked paper which specifically investigates TMSR's as solar fill-in power sources.

You know, to this day I still hear ads on radio and TV mention something like, "Go to our website and enter keyword XYZ" - keyword? REALLY? In 2014????

You're assuming the quote you pasted refers to chip and PIN - it does not. From the same FAQ I quoted:

This site clearly shows that BofA ONLY offers Chip-and-signature cards - their chip-and-PIN section has NO MENTION of BofA.

Dang it, replied to the wrong comment.

I think we're all forgetting that in five years, HDDs may be more expensive due to SDDs taking over the bulk of storage duties and the inevitable redirection of production away from HDDs. HDDs might become 'boutique' or 'retro' items like record players.

Not all, and not even the largest. From the Bank of America site (emphasis mine):

... a bunch of formerly independent cells deciding which 90% get to die in order to form the support structure and who gets to be the reproductive structure.

I'm certainly no expert, but doesn't something like that happen during human gestation? Don't our 'tail' cells die or get resorbed, as well as the webbing between our fingers and toes?

I read all of the original six when I was in junior high/high school. I have not read the final 4. Would you suggest I give them a go?

As for the Dune series, I liked the first book, but they went downhill fast after that. The final one(s) was/were nearly incomprehensible. The only funny thing I got from them is that with Duncan Idaho being a ghola, everyone could have their "own private Idaho".

Call the feds @ the EPA. I don't see anything in Paulding County in GA listed on their superfund search site.

Here's a link to the EPA Superfund site search for 'tetrachloride'. There are 215 results, some of which (chosen at random) seem to have a pretty nasty mix of contaminants of concern.
