Lovely. Here's hoping there's a DeHavilland Hornet sitting in a barn somewhere as well.

Even though the Ariane 5 has a decent record I am so nervous about this launch! Makes you wish they'd built a backup just in case...

I agree that they accumulate, but not necessarily that they don't break. I've recently recycled a 600e (working), a T30 (working), and a T61 (motherboard dead). There was a massive build quality difference between the (brilliantly solid) 600e and the T61. I'm hanging on to an x61s for the time being, since it still works and it's quite small.
I still love the design ascetic of these laptops and I wouldn't be surprised to find myself buying one in the future.

I must say, having switched from Google OpenID 2.0 to Google OAuth2.0 for authentication on our site I raised an eyebrow when I belatedly read on Homakov's 2013 blog[1] that OAuth2.0 was never intended for authentication, only authorization for certain discrete resources. At least with Stack Exchange doing it I'm in good company, but - if Egor is correct - it raises the question what's really a good choice for authentication nowadays.

You get all the benefits of a mature and very full-featured RMDBS.
Neo4j is a great database, and I use it myself for a project that involves lots of deep hierarchies. But it has a fairly sparse feature-set where schema enforcement and data integrity checking are concerned; you basically have to add all that stuff yourself at the application level which can amount to a lot of work.
