Tape has always had a limited life-span and is too easily damaged to completely trust with high-value archival data. Instead, archival on tape usually means "we're not quite confident enough to just delete this crap".
Maybe the cheap crap. I've pulled 7 year old data off of SuperDLT tapes.
Enterprises have been doing this with tape for 30 years.
In fact, modern tape technology probably has a higher "volumetric" density than BD.
Damn, you beat me to it...
But will it run Linux??
Are you in the habit of being an asshole?
Resolution is measured linearly, not quadratically.
Why? The surface of the Earth is two-dimensional (three, if you want to be picky), not one-dimensional.
Or 4x the resolution (a 50cm square being 4x as large as a 25cm square)?
Just ask the Germans what happened to their request for their gold stored in the US.
Are there any "THE GOLD IS MISSING WERE DOOOOOOOOMED!!!" sites that are not scaremongers?
Ask Slashdot. Instead I'd go to forums where actual field ecologists -- the ones who actually go out and sample water, etc -- to see what they suggest.
and prove that the IP they have is going to right place.
Eh? It's gmail. The need is to associate a gmail account with a person, not with an IP address.
And doing that depends mainly on how much PII the person tells Google when he registers the account.
The majority were a buncha eggheads who thought it was cool they'd found someone willing to fund them,
And willingly worked 12,000 "undesirables" to death.
put the blame where it belongs
Square on Frank Malina's shoulders for wanting to do something else.
so I imagine they came to a similar conclusion at some point.
Twelve other Societies and the FASEB also have the same Bethesda address, but different phone numbers. Maybe FASEB is contracting out administrative functions?
How many Societies for Experimental Biology does a country -- even a big one -- need?
kb == kilobits
Thus, it's 12416 kilobyte-pairs.
