You're not kidding. I've priced three drives at roughly $200. I and the local IT guy will probably spend twice that amount in fiddle-faddle before the damned things show up on my desk.

I nominated One Direction and Bieber thousands of times. Destination[^].
I did it for the benefit of all humanity - I'll accept my Nobel prize later.

They would board the B Ark then?

Hardly. Even the telephone sanitisers have standards.

I suppose one could rent a Hertz trailer and hook it to the back of the ship for them. Duck tape the seams to hold the air supply...
We do rather need the phone sanitizers lest we repeat history.

If you provide air, they might try to sing - vacuum is much more suitable, if we wish to avoid Galactic Arms Limitation Treaty infringements.

"Duck tape the seams" surely you mean Duct tape, unless unnatural have been afoot (in which case you can go on Ark C with the Beliebers and Wand Erectioners)

It wouldn't matter if I said Duct or Duck, there would someone who will point out the other.
For your reading pleasure... Duct Tape[^] I say po-tay-to you say po-tah-to, six of one and half a dozen of the other. It has been discussed a number of times in the lounge... [^]

Wow, feeling betrayed by people saying duck tape and finding out it really was duct tape and they were too dumb or lazy to correctly say the term. (I'd heard the term for years, but never had occasion to buy it until much later and then found out how it was spelled.) Then I asked why it was called something else and no one had an answer for why they were all saying it wrong. I felt surrounded by ignorance and dumb for falling for the poor pronunciation. Now I feel dumb not finding out the entomology of the word before this. In my defense I found out the "correct" use well before the web was generally known about.

For entertainment, we're going to lock Bieber and One Direction outside the airlock door. If we video it, we can keep ourselves amused for hours afterwards. You'd never get bored replaying that video.
