    So why not use water..."

    Well, since the site is already slashdotted (only the title is showing up for me) i'll have to use all the power of my brain to guesstimate.

    Why not use water? The answer is simple really. If you can use such liquids to proform logical computations then it would be adventageous to use a liquid with a VERY high boiling point to prevent all your data from boiling off into steam...

    Hmmm... I can see it now "that data has to be uncompressed into steam, heat it up a bit."
