I run a data center. Disk drives that are left running continuously last between two and three years. Three years is about 36 months.
The odds of a disk failing in any given month are roughly one in 36. The odds of two different drives failing in the same month are roughly one in 36 squared, or 1 in about 1,300. The odds of three drives failing in the same month is 36 cubed or 1 in 46,656. The odds of seven different drives failing in the same month is 37 to the 7th power = 1 in 78,664,164,096.

Oops, I forgot, we are talking about the administration that makes Jimmy Carter look like JFK.
Agreed. I posted that yesterday. It follows the walking and quacking duck logic.
But, if the Lefties had their way they would try and deflect reality by claiming Hanlon's Razor.
Good math but there is one problem. That number only applies if the IRS only had those 7 computers. It’s a more complicated equation when you factor in that they have N thousand computers and those specific seven fail.
18 1/2 minutes of missing telephone conversation was enough to convince a group of GOP critters to talk Nixon into resigning.
What are we talking here—months, years of e-mails between Lerner and six other people?
The most succinct explanation now is the same one this same party drew then: there is a conspiracy to destroy or conceal incriminating evidence, and it includes the WH.
Did you work with a pool of 82 hard drives in making these calculations? That’s how many were included in Oversight’s request for IRS emails(notwithstanding all that should be available via server(s). The FBI would not be interested in pursuing this, since the IRS feeds them, too.
Thats true but these 7 are the relevant computers (i.e. the from and to of her emails)
My first computer, a C64, never had a crash...neither did my IBM, Gateway 2000, Lenovo, Alienware or my custom built computers. But the IRS has a hard drive problem?. BS...
I’m on the manufacturing side of things. Not an IT guy. Certainly not an expert in the field. But, if I understand how these things work, why is it so difficult for the REALLY smart people in DC to get even a basic grasp on how these things work?
somewhere out there a Dumpster Diver has these hard drives

I want the backup tapes ,, sure hope someone saved them when ordered to overwrite/destroy them and just relabeled new tapes to replace the valuable ones.
Not to mention he only "endeavoured to obtain from the Internal Revenue Service... when it looks more and more like ∅ carried it out.
And if Boehner had handled this correctly from the beginning, with a select committee, we could have had Christmas in July this year.
Actually I think I was wrong, given 1/36 failures per month it doesn’t matter how many other computers are. But what it also tells me is that if the IRS has 3600 computers they have 100 disk crashes per month. So are supposed to believe that they are not prepared for this platoon of failed computers every month. Obviously, like the company I work for, our computers are networked and the local hard disk has nothing of value.
The MSM gets it, but they feel it's their duty to protect Obama at any cost.
Issa on BOR tonight. Doesn’t sound positive.
I think it’s even rarer than that. What’s the chance that every computer that contains potential evidence in a Congressional inquiry fails? It wasn’t just any random hard drive failing, but seven specific ones. The odds of that happening by chance are beyond reason.
Can you believe the arrogance of that IRS guy!!! I want to see him behind bars so bad. I’ll have to wait on the Lord for justice in this wicked and adulterous generation.
