https://www.dailydot.com/parse... The "Barbie: I can be a computer engineer" book showed her having to ask the boys in her class to code a game for her because she wasn't able to! Not a great message for her fans.

There were other reactors working in the same plant until the last one shut down in 2000 (14 years after the disaster) so there were plenty of people working *in the same building* for a good long time.

Surely for wrestling there are much more important events such as Wrestlemaina and the Summer Slam? :-)

Why does a driver for a game controller need to be incorporated into the kernel?

Yeah, and monkeys _could_ fly out of my butt by 2050 too. They'd have more chance of powering the grid at night though...

Facebook's android app drains battery, is full of bugs and has a wierd non-standard interface. I didn't think they could make it any worse, but here we go - well done Facebook, you really raised the bar on suck there.

To me it all comes down to categorising the data. Some things need backing up daily, others weekly, monthly, annually and others once and never again. Also some things never need backing up. My first step with backup is to categorise the data when it is stored, then use the right backup strategy. If you don't sort the data properly you end up wasting money backing up stuff that isn't important, and may even miss things that are important. My servers are based at home, close to the desktop/laptop machines, so though I have RAID for important data, everything is vulnerable to fire/flood/theft etc... However, I do have a co-located server based 300 miles away to run several websites I look after. When I looked for the hosting provider I factored in the price for extra storage, and then ordered the server with a fair chunk of extra space than I will ever need for the web servers. I now use the colocated server as a rsync destination - no private data (in case it is compromised), but it makes me feel better that me and my family survive a house fire, the family pictures will too.

Molten Salt Reactors have benefits, but the first one (MSRE) was also a nightmare to decommission (like Dounreay)
