1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 gigabytes.

But you're wrong even with a long scale. In German the long scale is used. It would be billiarden, english: billiard, or 'one thousand billion'

So you're wrong either way.

EDIT:

for all saying "OLOLOLO U FAILZ CUZ BILLIARD IS WIHT BALLZ"
It's milliard and trilliard, too

woah

Isn't one quadrilloin a bit overkill?

This doesn't surprise me. Echelon has been going on for years now and everyone knows the NSA has been doing this.

Storing that much data is utterly useless as there's no efficient way to analyze it all.

Whenever I pick up the phone and call someone, I will start singing "Somebody's Watchin' Me".

"This one facility will burn through as much electricity as the entirety of Salt Lake City."

They're the goddamn goverment.

The people who stop people from invading your privacy.

I was about to post this.

It would literally destroy the country's economy and resources just to have it running.

But only then will we be truly safe.

By invading it first?

Mmm. I love the way our tax dollars go hard at work, don't you?

I mean seriously, could there be anything stupider than this? What do they expect to find in the USA...

Do terrorists even use computers?

We're talking bytes bro, a terabyte is not one and some zeroes, so two terabytes do not equal two and some zeroes. Er, well, they are and they aren't. Binary fucks shit up.

SI prefixes are defined as powers of ten, regardless of the unit. If they changed according to their units, they would become meaningless, as their entire point is universality. Therefore powers of ten are recommended by pretty much every standard.

For those struggling to imagine this.

Holy crap.

Do we really need this?

More importantly isn't this kinda'... wrong?

Please use standard form.

Holy shit, I almost forgot about that, It's been so long since I've been in the UK, I need to go back

No, it goes against our laws of physics.

I call bullshit. They can't make yottabyte storage. At least at these days technology, they just can't.

1 yottabyte, shit. I wonder if that could store the entire internet on it (as in all of the data from the internet).

Edit: according to wikipedia that could store the entire internet! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yottabyte

TODAY I'LL BE LOOKING AT THE RAPTOR X, 150 YOTTABYTE HARD-DRIVE.

Interesting. I wonder if they download the internet, then could get arrested shortly after for possession of child pornography and a ton of other messed up things.

I dont think so

You guys talk like there is a limit on porn.

No Kill Like Overkill.

Put that in Raid.

Read the Constitution. There is no "right to privacy" and they shouldn't be. The government doesn't look at average schmucks like you.

Unless you're suspected of something, then you'd better hide.

yottabyte. it sounds like terrifying. it exudes a wrongness. it sounds as if it were wrought by elder things.

No....
It's a thousand British trillions (a trilliard?)

LOL.. The NSA can listen to messages anywhere around the world.. Don't believe me? Research it, it really isn't that hard to do. How do you think they listen in on terrorists and shit?

It's just a cover story for the 'Loop', an artificial simulation of entire galaxy.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

And the Americans have the nerve to say Britain is totalitarian?

Unreasonable? What's unreasonable about looking for people who want to destroy us?

uh

downloading everyones everything ever is pretty unreasonable to me

actually i could probably sue and win in the supreme court

1. They aren't "Downloading everything". They keeps tabs on suspected terrorists/killers, nobody else.

2. People have tried to sue and lost miserably.

You are.

But we are too, that's why the countries are like brothers.
