"Bro, who's your favorite Captain?"
Jackson: "Picard."
O'Neill: "Kirk."
Carter: "Janeway."
"CHAKA!!"
Quality over quantity.
There you go. Everyone immediately thinks of Red from That 70s Show but this man knows how to act. And he proved it in Year of Hell. He presented a real sense of loss and grievance when talking about his lost family.

The fuck! This makes me sad.
Just like how if you put a shattered CD in an apparatus, you can still use a laser reader to recover any data on the undamaged sections.
Though, because data is recorded in a circular pattern at high speeds, you won't get much. Or what you get will have lots of corruption. I wonder what pattern of storage these plates use? If it's similar to SSDs, then large files can be nested in a very small area of space - increasing the chances of recovery.
Well, not really.
So AIM was built on an existing chat protocol called OSCAR. The same protocol used in other services. So people eventually figured out how to make chat clients that could log into many different IM services on one app.
This was not sanctioned by AOL, but they allowed it at first. Then they decided you HAVE to use the official AIM client to talk to people on AIM. The third-party developers ignored AOL, so they entered into a tug-a-war match for a while.
Because AOL was using known software to make AIM work, there was only so much they could do to keep their client working while also blocking everyone else. Eventually it became too much of a hassle, so AOL relented and third-party clients kept working until the service was shutdown.

They even made a series of movies about it.
I remember the mini-war between AOL and third-party IM clients. There were days where AOL would send 15kB patches to AIM multiple times a day to break compatibility with the other apps. And they would then fix it within hours.
In the end, AOL gave up.
May your portfolio flourish this commercial season.
