For the curious, this is about 8,470,329.47 yottabytes.<p>For the even more curious, a scale to think about from wikipedia[1]: In 2010, it was estimated that storing a yottabyte on terabyte-size hard drives would require one million city block size data-centers, as big as the states of Delaware and Rhode Island.<p>[1]: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yottabyte#Examples" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Yottabyte#Examples</a>

Oh well; you probably don&#x27;t want to be teleported (cloned and killed) anyway.
