spamfiltertest writes "CNET asks 'Would you like your digital-storage media to last 20 years, 25 years, 30 years, 35 years or 40 years?' If you're an organization or government agency, the U.S. government and an optical-disc industry group would like you to answer that question in a quick survey.

    Seriously fags, what the hell is wrong with you that you want your collection of shitty quality pirated movies to last you your lifetime? Even your family photos will decrease in value over time. I mean, how am I supposed to keep jerking off to the same old pictures?
