    20 million gigabytes = 20 thousand terabytes = 20 petabytes. Which doesn't sound nearly as impressive.

    Glad they left the glitches in (April 2013 for example). Fricken scientists and their dedication to truth.

    "swirl" + "interference" = "satori"

    "satori" + "xflame" + spherical coordinates = ^^^
