A story in The Register points out that little has changed since Francis Bacon proposed combining knowledge to learn new things 400 years ago, despite all the computer power we now have. Scientific (and other) data is still housed in unrelated collections, waiting for some enterprising Relational Database Programmer to unlock the keys to understanding. Is RDBMS still a Brave New Frontier, or will Google make the art obsolete once they finish indexing everything?"

aren't they like the brain creatures... I hear when they finally finish all the archiving and indexing in the universe they will blow up everything that is and ever would be in order to not create any new information... just to save the hastle of indexing that too
