Polio could be eradicated from the wild within five years (and this has been the case for over a decade). There is easily enough funding (Thanks to the Gates and Rotary International).

The issue is a dozen governments that will not allow their citizens to receive the vaccine.

I got it right, but there are a few thing that will speed up bean cooking. Try using Peruvian (Yellow) Beans. They can be cooked in three hours. A pressure cooker can knock out a batch of Pinto Beans in half an hour.

Hidden in the article is the problem with using a single hard drive for backup. This sort of ransom would be far less effective in the days of tape backup. The solution is to use an online backup with versioning or swap hard drives like we used to swap tapes.

I visited France two thirds of a lifetime ago. The currency was in free fall and there were restrictions on how much foreign money a French citizen could buy. The exchange rate was 7 francs per dollar and shop keepers were giving me 10.

Japanese cameras were twice as much as in the States. French perfume and clothes were one third to one quarter. No one wanted to speak English. I did not speak French. We haggled in German. It was a treat.
