Ah, nostalgia! We used to play it in high school all the time, building masochistic tracks and challenging each other to finish. Speaking, look what I found in my video game closet:)
When the big switch from CD-R to DVD-R came, I backed up all my 5+ year old CD-R's at 6-7 per DVD. Side benefits: throw out a bunch of unused crap, reorganize, save physical space. And I don't see this changing--whatever technology is next, I'll be backing up my data DVD's to it (again, a bunch of them per whatever the new media will be in a year or two). I don't see this as an inconvenience--on the contrary, you never feel like you're collecting crap in your attic and your data is fresh. So, disc-rot is a non-issue IMO.
is that if the FBI is wasting its resources on this guy (or even wasting its resources on a commercial hacking period), who is investigating the real criminals hacking into something more life-threatening than yankees.com? This is back to the idea of cops sitting on the side of the road pulling people over for speeding instead of preventing someone from getting raped or murdered.

...because long before 40, they realize programming is a commodity and they will soon be replaced by a younger/cheaper/etc. worker.
...and I should really use that Preview button more often! That's Max Payne.
...Mario's about to getcha.
...women still have men wrapped around their finger. Figure that one out.
Translation: spamming overtakes porn in driving computer technology forward. Senators everywhere rejoice.
...sooner or later, Googlezon is coming.

What, being able to fit three dead bodies in the trunk is not big enough for you??
