Just because you want something, it doesn't mean you'll get it.
We'll see if $120 Million is enough to make a difference.
The problem with gasoline is that is has such great energy density, about 46 Mega-joules per kilogram.
The best batteries currently are Lithium with an energy density of 1.8 Mega-Joules per kilogram.

SHA-1 runs at 450MB/sec per core on a current generation i7, this is not a CPU bound problem.

It would take about 12 hours to read the 5TB and compute SHA-1 for everything. (assumes 120MB/sec disk)
(5*10^12)/(120^10^6)=41666 sec = 11.57 hours.
After that you have 4M*(256 bytes metadata+20bytes/hash)=~1GB of memory.
Everything fits into an in memory hash table, lookups O(1) proceed at 1 lookup/microsecond.
It takes another 20 minutes or so to delete the duplicate files. project done.
And I have a perl script that does this that I wrote in 1999, email me and I'll send it.

I think your full of shit if you found an SHA collision.
Plesae provide an example.

Study shows women can lower their chance of breast cancer
...
when their breasts are hacked off, but is that really the solution for things?

Wow, makes me feel good working there!
But then, I've never seen EMC act as a patent troll, we've generally use patents defensively.
No, this is not flame bait, but if you have a counter example, I'd love to hear it.

I call your bullshit, but I don't have enough chips, I guess I'm all in.

I probably should have said something more insightful like, hmm, I didn't know facebook and google didn't work on mobile devices,
oh, wait, they do
In fact, I probably use google maps more on my iphone than on my desktop.

Mark Cuban can suck my dick.

I agree, the middlemen is not only unnecessary but are making life more difficult and trying to justify their existence.
I want to want shows when I want them without commercials and I'm willing to pay for that.
I have a DVR on Cox Cable and Netflix on my PS3. Shows that are on HBO and Showtime are available the next day on HBO and Showtime HD indemand so I don't bother recording them. I only use the DVR for broadcast shows that include commercials.

The basic problem is this, broadcast television is an anachronism that hasn't died yet but will soon.
The technology vendors(Google, Apple, Netflix, Hulu, etc ) are lining up to deliver a good content experience because the broadcaster (CBS,NBC,ABC, FOX, etc) haven't done it.

A 9 megaton bomb would not end all life on this planet, nor would 100 of such weapons. Not even 1000.
1000 wouldn't even end all human life, which is probably what you meant.

Troll

More Bullshit! No matter how cheap your cable was, an S-Video cable never bled red into the rest of the image.
The morons at Best Buy are just trying to get you to spend more money, don't go and try to find some logic for what they're doing!

So write your congress critter now and tell them to scrap software patents!

Who knew that the purchase of NBC by Kabletown was really Comcast! Life imitates art.

Jack Donaghy would really be mad!
