Could this be translated as "billions and billions" or "billions upon billions"?
- dendory 13y agoLiterally it says billions of billions, but in context it most likely means billions upon billions.
- mortehu 13y agoWhy? Petabytes seems like a more likely order of magnitude than gigabytes, doesn't it? eta: From the article: "capable of managing dozens of petaoctets of data, in other words dozens of millions of gigaoctets"
- stack0v3erfl0w 13y agoNo. The correct translation is "billions of billions"
- bnegreve 13y agoActually 'zillions' is probably the most accurate translation.
