I seem to only drink Kirin at sushi restaurants so I don't expect to rushing out for it. However, if this was available for my favorite beer then I might give it a try.
I think the a la carte model is fine. I have been unplugged since 2007 (take that Anonymous Coward), and I have used a mac mini and a boxee box as my entertainment devices. I like the on-demand aspect. However, I do watch less TV because once I have finished the program I set out to watch I turn it off. I do not get sucked into the shiny program that comes on next.
Depending on how the data is written (with nice file marks), you can forward the tape fairly quickly. Sure, copying it from a hard disk is pretty quick, but the idea of tape archives are just that - archives. Don't expect to use it as extra storage like a hard drive.
I am glad there is finally proof. I wasn't quite sure that the PRC would be censoring websites. Now if we can just get proof of that moon landing thing...
I am shocked it took this many posts to find the link to the parrot sketch. What is up with Slashdot today? Oh well, there will [should] be 50 more below that one.

It's the 100 year anniversary. That is why all the articles, re-releases, hype, etc.
I see what you have done here. Nice.

Actually, which will prevail? Politically motivated scaremongering or corporations manipulating safety data to prevent a drop in stock price.
Does this mean I can't use my "BUT WHERE IS MY FLYING CAR?" question any more?
Actually, most people who use tapes in an Enterprise environment use tape libraries that will shuffle the tapes around like a juke box.
This one holds 48 tapes. quote - "The TS3200, featuring Ultrium 5 tape drives, has a capacity of up to 72 TB native (144 TB with 2:1 compression)."

Good times indeed.

Just wait. Next year will be the year of the Desktop!
No 3G access? Some days that would seem like heaven instead of a wasteland. I suggest we section it off and make a campground.
