That's an easy one. You follow the company's document retention policy at work, but save your own company at home. If you're not a senior executive, no one's going to be searching your house for incriminating documents against the company. If you find yourself at odds with the company legally, you can use the files you "inadvertently" archived as evidence. Sounds like a win-win to me.
The project was killed by Congress, specifically by Congressman Ted Stevens. He used GAO to nitpik the system to dealth on technical details (PKI wasn't really around back then) and rapid development/procurement practices used by the project. The GAO Report is here [gao.gov]. But hell, we did it in six months!
I think the nitpicking might have had something to do with the fact that the IRS and the tax preparation and electronic filing/refund anticipation loan people have a symbiotic relationship. And the industry has lobbyists on the hill. A Federal representative at a PKI briefing (back when the Federal government was a bit hotter on the idea) had said that there will never be free electronic filing available to the public, because they are reluctant to put Intuit, HRB, et al, out of business--and that if they feared being put out of business, they would be reluctant to innvotate with Treasury.

Sounds like there are at least some similar concerns shared between photo archiving and its (sort of) subset, image archiving.
Where I work, various imaging solutions were (before the latest budget cuts) being considered--what several of them have in common, despite paying lip service to "open standards," is that once one is chosen, switching vendors becomes very painful.
Oh, please. Like the people responsible for misusing the H1B program would ever see the inside of a penitentiary even if they were caught and convicted.
"Pound me in the ass prison" is for the little people, not for the senior executive robber barons that abuse this stuff. Most likely, they cop a plea for no jail--at worst, they go to a club Fed with Leona. Give me a break.
We use a product called Portfolio by Extensis. It runs on an NT server which doesn't help the AskSlashdotter in the least. We will probably use Portfolio for another couple years until CCI's MediaStore is ready for prime time.
Will CCI provide conversion tools to migrate from the Portfolio product, or will you have to do the process on your own?
Ouch:(. That advice goes for computers, too. I sold my first machine, an Ohio Scientific Superboard II when I was a kid. It cost me more than the machine did new to replace it as an adult!
. . . be sure to check out Visual Pinball (which emulates the tables) and PinMAME (which emulates the electronics).
There has been awesome work done--the tables and electronics are emulated to the point that they all work together and are as close to the real thing as you can get without stepping into the arcade.
The downside is that this stuff is very much Windows-centric. So that means I have to reboot to get my fix of Circus Voltaire.
Just make sure to post a blatant troll or two when you're at 48 or so, to have room for your posts to be modded up without losing karma when some dickless, jealous moderator (or one who disagrees with you) mods you down as "Overrated," knowing it won't cost him anything in M2.
If you don't feel like trolling, tell someone who pisses you off "Fuck you" at +2. It sends a stronger message that way:).
Not to mention that his "experiment" was rigged to fail. For example, he computed a ratio of users to payments based only on downloads. This ignored the fact that some downloaded the material and never read it, that some downloaded it in more than one format, and (horror or horrors), some didn't find it interesting after the first few lines.
The article correctly points out that micropayments are one way to fund comics, but that people aren't inclined to pay anything for that which used to be free.
Although it's over five years old, this Wired article has a nice summary of the challenges that faced and face the idea.

The reason I tell chicks my dick is 10" (PR) long is that my dick is being marketed against those of Leroy and Stan. This has the effect of Leroy and Stan's dicks being less satisfying at equivalent lengths. 3" of my penis would be more satisfying, for most women, then a 10" Leroy penis. To counter this unfair length advantage, I came up with "PR" (Penis Ratio) numbers to show that my dick performs equivalently to a longer dick. Of course, once women learn to take advantage of Leroy's "architecture" (remember when John Holmes hit the scene?), I might have to push those ratings down.
Why not just use the filesystem to categorize pictures, and some other solution for hierarchical storage or removable media cataloging? Then, when you want to look for a picture, you just search for the directory/category name, and it'll either tell you where it is on the disk, or which CDR (or your choice of removable media) has it.
Of course, this makes me want to go look for Linux hierarchical storage programs.

Exploiting a "feature" in Apple's basic, he set up a program that could "poke" in the values for lines numbered above 65000. Essentially setting up a template with the students name that all programs had to be turned in, looking like. Without "poke"ing the values around (which he didn't teach), you couldn't change those lines.
Damn, we're old, aren't we:)! I think most of those MS BASICs wouldn't allow direct entry of lines above 63999.
Americans that think preserving the fourth amendment is just about ripping DVDs and posting them to USENET are morons. But by the time they figure it out, it'll be too late.

And people will circumvent that by printing the documents to "PostScript Printer on FILE:" for the ones they want to save.

What part of my post said I have recently bought anything from Sony?

. . . guess I just won't buy one. Or any other piece of hardware, software, or media made by Sony.
