I believe the asker didn't mention a price issue.
Availability is one reason to redundantly "split your eggs into more than one basket". Cloud outages happen from time to time. If one vendor is unavailable (temporarily or closed down indefinately), you want your files to be available from another vendor.

Robotics

+ - RC Transformers soon to be mass produced->

Submitted by SpaceCracker
SpaceCracker writes "Singularity Hub brings this story of the Japaneese firm Brave Robotics moving into production of robot transformers: [The robot] uses a game controller as a remote control for operation and has an on-board Wi-Fi camera that can be viewed on a tablet. Furthermore, the exterior parts of the 1/12 scale robot are now made using a recently acquired 3D printer, adding to its awesomeness even more. In vehicle mode, the car can be steered and moved around as a normal RC vehicle. In humanoid mode, the robot is able to walk, shoot projectile from its arms, and do some impressive hero poses."

You may read and write those languages, but I bet you don't speak them.

My wife is illiterate WRT these languages but she sure speaks them. She normally passes me an array of methods to call, each with references to the child instances to apply them on. Of course most calls don't get executed since MyStack.size() evaluates to 1 and the overflow exception is ignored.

I'm impressed. Back in DOS days I worked for a company that did pretty cool stuff with tiny TSRs. I haven't heard of any reactor usage for that SW.

On the lighter side, I guess BG will sign up with the reactor manufacturers to deliver all Personal-Reactors with MS-DOS only. ;-)
