This is not actually possible. Those crazed fuckers want data on everything there is no way of storing that much data. Storing my own data for a year would be difficult probably requiring a whole Hard disk.
I dunno if it will happen soon but once you have the ability to replace bits of the body then there is no reason to die of anything but brain damage (as its far more complex). I don't mind been in a vat if I live to 1000.
I have built model rockets in an educational setting and we didn't use kits we designed and built them from scratch. Mine was a multi stage with I think D engines, I was doing the stage separation with selotape and interlocking bits of balsa so it always went off at a bit of an angel when the second stage ignited. It was all very fun stuff. I almost destroyed a porchse 4x4 (burning rocket after failed stage separation) and crash landed in a basket ball game.
I used to have a whole room full of old computer junk. The trick I found was to throw away all the packaging and just put everything in a wardrobe and pile the pc's ontop of each other. There was so much packaging it filled about 1/8th of the room (in volume) when removed from the hardware. Also sell the more modern stuff, I recently sold two outdated (to me) graphics cards on Ebay and got about £60. It may be worth getting into a habit of selling gear asoon as you have finished with it to maximise money. As for electronics get the cheapest electronics storage cabinets and buy 4x as many as you think you need and spend a week sorting all those resistors.
people will riot when they have no bread which will be the result if this is allowed to continue. Already the standard of living has fallen in America in my lifetime and will continue to decline if progress is not made. You end up with a rotten old empire that keeps going only under the inertia of previous generations slowly declining into anarchism. Go read Asimovs foundation. (which should be public domain by now but isn't)
most 3.11 software dosen't run. Your case is VERY much the exception to the rule. Also most DOS games need real DOS but along came dos box and sorted that. Why couldn't MS make dos box?
I think that says alot about vista adoption in your area as well. When I see someone running vista my opinion of them instantly lowers as someone who is abit of a push over as they haven't formated yet.
I have an x1950pro I am in no hurry to upgrade due to the lack of decent modern games; or more accurately games that fail to surpass their predecessors (crysis, c+c3, oblivion). My pc plays anime donwloaded off the net and I like the stories better. Films are a dead medium they are not making progress, they tell the same stories with even more annoying camera work (Bourne identity I look at thee). I would rather relax when I watch something and for the story to be relatively happy instead of "gritty and realistic".
I was confused about the total recall reference but then again I have only read the short story the film was "based" on. Why do PKD's stories always get butchered when transfered to film?
Once people see you running linux they get curious, my crappy laptop running debian gets more looks than all the shiny apples. Slowly converting those around me aswell, also I increasingly find that lots of software is linux only or works better in linux. Also programing is much easier in linux at least for my hobbyist C programs.
"The way storage quality has been nose-diving in the last years" I disagree totally all my modern drives are working whereas I used to plagued by hard disk failure. For example are any modern drives as bad as the deathstar? in the past 5 years I have had 0 failures but in the 5 preceding that I had about 8 drive failures. Small sample size I know but to me hard drives are getting better.
well at least one of those is done by free software "Multimouse technology" see multi pointer X that has been available as a patch for ages and now is in the main branch. Also learning to read is not as hard as people make out I had learnt before I entered school. Free software is inherently better than any of bill's proprietary bullshit and he should accept that now he has no share holders to keep happy. At one point he was the richest person on the planet, but that didn't give him wide admiration he was reviled as a monopolist who used unfair practises. Acquisition of wealth as the driving force for progress is an indirect and inefficient method.

why would I need protection if I were dead?

The newton clause (he kept calculus locked up in a chest in his office for approximately 20years) he was a little nuts.
your paying for support and guarantees certain things will run oh and the shiny art work ;)
I sewed it to the corner of your towel
Just guessing here but sleep more?
"antivirus software" the election machines or the counting machine is running windows. Raise the charges to high treason.

yeah but he uses the profanity so well, why can't all press releases be like this.
N64 was also pretty bad for having to blow on carts.

because cokes cool? it already tastes like shit.

replying to myself because I just RTFA; how can a man who uses 16pt font wasting 2/3 of the page involving lots of scroll comment on usability.

Eg. man emacs
