Meh, just go back in time and get Cambridge to accept "at nauseum" as the approved version.
That's how nerds will win the internet in the future.

Well if the science here is correct you can only see who won the superbowl in THAT alternate reality... You don't know for sure who won in OUR reality until, of course, it happens.
All in all this smells like a mathematicians solution to the problem, largely unbounded by real life concerns.
I had the same thought. There's a few realities of storage that are missed here: storage use always increases, disks aren't the only things that fail, rack space isn't free, you usually have staff available already....
This is an interesting idea if your storage is in a place where it can't be reached at all for some reason, but I think NASA and ESA have already done a good bit of research on that.
IIRC XFS/SGIs had this built in that there was just enough juice to flush buffers to disk while everything was spinning down.
That's not long term. That's the normal life of a storage array. Long term is like 8-10 years.

There is no time travel citizen! Go on about your lives.
Meanwhile the military starts researching chrono-troops. Because, you know, Australia has always controlled the world with its benevolent Empire...
What? I was assured that THIS was the year of the Linux Desktop!
My Nexus 7 is used every day while the iPad is somewhere probably with a dead battery. The Mini seems to be a better size for reading, but it's just too large for anything other than a TV replacement.
