Don't worry about being able to read old legacy data formats. If there's any interest in the data, there's somebody somewhere who will write an interperter / converter / emulator for it. Just look at the 8-bit emulation scene.
"Since the beginning of time, mankind has dreamed of striking out at the Sun!"
This unprovoked attack on the planet Earth cannot be allowed to go unpunished! I say we take a page from the Israelis and build an orbital wall that will prevent any further such incursions in the future!
"This guy probably talks on the cellphone while driving his SUV."
Both behaviors trade EVERYONE'S safety for their convienence. (Granted, the SUV crack IS a stretch, but what country did those hijackers come from again? Where'd they get their funds?)
"Ohhhh, I'm much to important to bother myself with following the behaviors needed to ensure a civil society." This guy probably talks on the cellphone while driving his SUV.
"I suspect after HP or some other large scale manufacturer provides an offer that they can't refuse that these suckers will be available for the general marketplace."
Only after they figure out how to make a $59.99 laser cartridge that needs to be replaced every three months!
Who ARE these people who buy stuff hawked in spams? And where can I get their email addresses?
Seven percent sounds awfully high. If we could just register these people someway, maybe with some sort of tattoo on their forheads, then the spamsters could go straight to the known gullible people and leave the rest of us the hell alone. A win-win situation -- except for the gullible people, but who cares about them anyway?!!
" It all depends on whether you want to kill the people immediately (near future) with the carcinogens produced by coal/diesel/etc or you want to contaminate the land with nuclear waste... Hmmm... "

BTW, I'm patenting that business process model, so ya'll better get your checkbooks warmed up!
And 390 horsepower!
(Or is that the new black? Beige was never cool, but silver may still be cool for a little longer.)
And howzcome these all look like shoeboxes? Why isn't anyone doing something in a format similar to by reciever / tape deck / VCR / DVD?

Yeah, I see no problem there.

Everyone knows chicks dig pipe stress freaks and crystallography weenies!
They should be wasting time on my $pet_project!!
[*]Technically, it all belongs to the cats anyway.

But you can't use it to make all the parts that you need to build an sell VersaLaser knockoffs. DAMN. Not quite there yet!
I think you MEANT KC == Boogie Man.
(Nice picture there...)
You're welcome.
What?!!! I'm being to fucking subtle?!!

Give me a call when they can win the 24 hrs at Le Mans.

Worked in France!
