Fun fact: the "megaflop" is an obsolete unit of storage capacity, equivalent to a million 3.5" high density floppy disks, or 1.34 terabytes.

@foone We need more of these ridiculous units. Like for example a "megapunch", equal to a million IBM punch cards, or around 80 megabytes.

@foone @NanoRaptor I've always found it ironic how "Secure Digital" is a great name for a format that really sells it, but the way that it's "secure" is actually super anti-consumer (DRM).

Not that said DRM ever really got used much.

@arstechnica So we're breeding heat resistant bacteria that can digest plastic.

What could possibly go wrong?
