How are they going to store the data? Isn`t this whole library idea about storing things for future generations if there has been a war or other mass scale destruction? So when "future generations" uncover this Babylonian/British collection of knowledge hundreds years later, they can still learn from the remains? What are they going to get from a 200 years old harddrive, covered in dust?

The Brits use the same billion=10^9 as everyone else speaking english
FTFY

yep xkcd solves it all, seriously why use the special chars? If somebody needs to see some data: http://www.lockdown.co.uk/?pg=combi&s=articles#Classes 12 lower case alpha > 8 mixed alpha + numbers + spec chars
