You are right. There's no reason for why you can't 'spin down' a rack of cheap server grade HDs to save power.
What happened to Bernoulli disks anyway?

They resize them first, then compress. A 3~5mb pic is stored around 10% of the uploaded size.

MOOOOOOO! MOOOOOOO!
So let's teach WWII by playing Wolfenstein.

OTOH If it was a pic of a gorilla but labelled 'Black Afro-American' then you would have the same issue.

HA! I'm running Lindows :)

I thought all those with ID >101 have ascended or have had their consciousness uploaded into some kind of silicon based brain!
Thanks for being here for us, guiding the way.

Yeah. If your ISP's DNS server is in a country that is monitoring requests, then:
A: Your ISP can see what you are viewing
B: They would be bound by law to hand over the logs.
By going out of the geopolitical boundary (that's if you can) for DNS, then it's 1 chink in your armour.

Thanks for the clarification!

My memory of Apollo 1 was that the fire had to do with teflon and not velcro. Am I mistaken?

FTA "In spite of how it burned in the Apollo 1 fire, velcro isn’t a significant fire hazard. The space shuttle kept its cabin pressurized to an Earth-normal 14.7 psia with a mix of about 80 percent nitrogen and 20 percent oxygen, and under those conditions velcro is not flammable"

Some are too apathetic to procrastinate. Slashdot is my way of avoiding apathy and is perfect to practise the zen of avoidance.

Well these disclosures are attacks on them. They are losing face because they are being exposed.
Just when they think attention on them is waning, they get hit again and again. They probably do not care but their 'we're the good guys because we fight terrorists' persona is definitely crumbling.
That's not a judgement on why they do what they do. For example, they MUST find out what is happening in the world, so they crack into friendly governments. Just goes to show that the NSA operates outside of normal diplomacy and by their actions do not trust other friendly intelligence organisations or the controlling governments.
I wouldn't be surprised if they are monitoring representatives and senators of their own government. That's scary especially if they achieve self consciousness and try to become our overlords.

Hmmm... Maybe you/GP is right.

You've got to take one more step. These new laws will allow French intelligence agencies to spy on the NSA as well. As you point out though, the NSA are aware of this and the whole 'cold war' thing gets reborn.

Wow! And here, everybody is blaming DICE/SJW/SystemD for it and APK for the cure.
