Quote: So yeah. Nectome is a preserve-your-brain-and-upload-it company. Its chemical solution can keep a body intact for hundreds of years, maybe thousands, as a statue of frozen glass. ...
The company has consulted with lawyers familiar with California’s two-year-old End of Life Option Act, which permits doctor-assisted suicide for terminal patients, and believes its service will be legal. The product is “100 percent fatal,” says McIntyre. “That is why we are uniquely situated among the Y Combinator companies.”

Hundreds of years?
Is that similar to sperm/egg storage location that recently had a failure in their storage system. Much less than hundreds of years on that one.

I just got the same thing happening to me as I spotted your message! 
Hawking dead! No one knows maths anymore!

I saw that as well. I think it might have to do with failed and retried download attempts, so it might be showing the total of all the downloaded data.
This update cost me half a day due to our slow internet speed, canceling it and having to completely reinstall it.

That's C++, not c***
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Oh yes I can! 
Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer.

There is now a putt-putt golf course running through the forest of cubes here.
My cube now sits on the end of the 6th hole.
 Why must they do this sh*t whilst I have a production problem to fix?
|
|

|
|
They are just doing it to PUTT you off 
|

I think you're right. A little birdie told me.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

My situation is even worse, my house is on a golf course (not a joke)
|
|
|
|
|
That was some poor neighborhood planning. Usually, the houses are beside the golf course.
|
|
|
|
|
I was thinking the same thing.
|

Although if it was mini golf and he lives in a windmill.
|
|
|
|
|
Does that make it a green house?
|
|
|
|
|
Indeed, and the greenhouse effect bothers me too

Consider yourself lucky it isn't on a shooting range... Although getting a visit from JSOP could be fun

That'll be the day, JSOP in Holland

If it wasn't a production problem it wouldn't be a problem?

Production problems are a "drop everything and fix it now" kind of thing. People can't do their primary jobs, systems down ...
Other problems, like a piece of software won't install on a machine, can wait.
