Or simply stimulate the nerves in the spinal cord to simulate all that.

Re: OT: ILM\'s new computer systems
Really when you think of that, its not all that big. Its like a 15o gigs by the standards of only five years ago. So in five years they will have to upgrade again.
Say what is it called once you surpase 999 TB's?

The next prefix 10 x bigger than tera is peta, so it must be 1 petabyte (1 PB)
Now, it is 1000 TB = 1 PB, or is it 1024 TB = 1 PB ? |

Re: OT: ILM\'s new computer systems
Technically, one petabyte is 1000 terabytes, and 1 "pebibyte" (PiB) is 1000 "tebibytes" (TiB).
