Back dat dataz up!!

I buddy of mine's recently lost all the data on his hardrive. Important stuff. Music Quarterly Reports and the like. No problem, I wrote back, just send me a blank and I'll load it up with about 50 gigs of Quarterly Reports. Hell, most of it, I got from him, anyways.

That what where my mind is, whenever I read stories like this:

"Mars is unlikely to sport beachfront property anytime soon, but the planet has enough water ice at its south pole to blanket the entire planet in more than 30 feet of water if everything thawed out."

Mars. It's like a backup hard drive.
