4K? Huh?
The Atmel megaAVR series ranges from 4Kb to 256Kb code space. The Arduino Uno boards have been running the 32Kb chip since rev 1.

South Africa just did it that way and it works well. First you count the total ballots, still folded, then you count the votes and that way nobody can add other ballots in during the vote tally to make up numbers. No cellphones etc allowed in the hands of the counters, elections officials or party observers during the count.
Got one addition to the process that we don't do. No results should be released from a polling station until every single station has finished counting and certified within the station. Forget this running TV tally and all that crap, if the numbers in each station remain secret until all stations are ready to report, then you can reduce the risk of "finding" additional votes in the trunk of a car.
It's the latter and seems to be confined to the United States at the moment. European and Asian forces seem to get the cooperation they need and African forces, those countries who have them, are way too busy with actual crime to bother with making crimes up.

This is semi-maximum damage and disruption. The users PC's would still work, albeit with no personal data. Given the way SCCM formats and dumps, there is a change of data recovery with any of the post-format recovery tools like EZRecovery, Recuva etc.
Max disruption would be to deploy a DoD-level hard disk wipe utility configured for 20 passes.
This isn't the update server section of System Center (WSUS), it's the machine deployment system (Configuration Manager), and it can quite easily do this if left as-is out of the box with multiple technicians on it. And it can be done accidentally.
Here's the scenario as it likely happened.
We've had two near-misses with misconfigured collections and one hit with a different problem* which cannot have happened in this case. SCCM isn't the most intuitive user interface and if you're being pressured by users or trying to get out of the door for the weekend, you can stuff it up easily.
Our solution was to restrict access to the built-in collections and to build collections per computer lab which are presented as read-only to the technicians. And then gave them a day of lectures. It sort of works.
* The other problem was caused by image dumping with Ghost of an image that was sysprepped, but had the SCCM client still installed on the image. Because of that, several dozen PCs had clients with the same client ID, like the Windows GUID, but separate and not cleared by a sysprep. The technician later built a SCCM image and deployed it correctly to one PC in a personal collection. Unfortunately SCCM populated the deployment list based on the client ID of the PC in the list and hit quite a few overnight. Luckily a lot of the machines in the batch were off overnight. I don't think this is the case because it hit the server too and that would have received a new client install during the SCCM installation.
Just had a look at my local online camera shop. None of the Canon home, prosumer or pro-broadcast cameras have FW anymore and only the Sony pro-broadcast cameras have it, not their prosumer or home devices. Sad.
Except according to the government, they are NOT bypassing the law. Transport for London says that Uber is legal, then Uber is legal no matter what the LTDA thinks.
Why not let SpaceX try and find out for themselves. They know their engines and have tested them for reuse long before they started building Grasshopper and the test protocols for Falcon 9.
The Merlins are designed to stop and start, and have done it successfully on the launch pad with the launch aborts experienced during their test flights. And SpaceX probably has a set that they've run on a static test pad for a full flight profile, then dusted them off, checked the bearings and seals and ran them again. And again. And again.
The SSMEs are excessively complex systems that have a much greater thrust than the Merlins. They need a full strip and rebuild because of their complexity.
More likely PRC will be Hong Kong in 30 years.
There was an article a couple of weeks back around the time the pings were supposedly detected where the Malaysian government wanted to start the process of declaring the passengers dead so the compensation process could start and the families threw their toys out of the cot.
The decision to declare the passengers dead is independent of finding the wreckage and can be done without proof of death, although having the passengers show up alive later can be embarrassing and difficult to correct. There is an agreed upon seven year maximum waiting window, but that can be shortened.
Wreckage or not, compensation will be paid.

Given the number of peers I see on fresh UFC and WWE torrents, 1000 people is probably around 10% of the actual downloaders. Even though he assumed 100% uptake, his numbers work with a 10% uptake which I would happily argue is a fair count of downloaded-instead-of-purchased viewers.
I'll take a bet right now that three to six months from now, Presley or her husband, or both, will be arrested for running a money laundering scheme. I sense an attempt to generate outrage in the public against the DoJ as a defence tactic.
