Because the light speed limit and the size of the universe proves creation to be a lot older than the 6,000 odd years claimed by some religious zealots.
The advantage of, say MP3s, as far as I'm concerned is the much smaller space that they take up. Imagine a stack of 45s (one song per side for our younger readers) -what were they, 7 inches? And fairly thick in their cardboard sleeves. I'm not going to work out what size stack it would be, but several thousand tracks on a pocket sized device sounds far more space efficient.
Tape isn't the same as vinyl - have you ever tried to record your own vinyl album without a recording studio? It added home recording.
However, I do agree with the sentiment, there is a lot to consume these days. All we need is a tricorder!

... I don't think that ~5 billion people could be wiped out by any single event that left the planet habitable afterwards...
You don't work in the PR department for the dinosaur government do you?
Relatively successful? By my assessment, you must be incredibly prolific - a large proportion of the comments on Slashdot ard by Anonymous Coward. I can only assume that you are some relation to Noel?
But surely it would also be easy to check what you'd done - not by searching the whole library, but by comparing with relevant matches. this could be a boon to finding plagiarism!
I saved the 'welcome' email for exactly this reason. And when I checked it today, it said 'this message can not be located'! I know it was Dec 2, but it doesn't tell me which year!!
I can't actually remember (and I used to work at the BBC as a transmitter engineer!), but I'm pretty certain that it was in hex. Here's a site for 'enthusiasts'. I'll leave you to wade through the details!

If the language is dead, there can be no problem with copyright!
How about, after 6 months in Beta we rename it Betta!
I did a search for Apple Computer Inc Cupertino CA and I got an Infinite Loop ...
Let me guess - a, d, m, i and n?
Instant thought (which I'm sure you've all had too!): Isn't that what all creative artists (writers, painters, programmers etc.) actually do?
Plus I guess we can assume that the punishment of locking him away in a room is also not healthy?

I'm okay then. I'm married!
Aah, so that explains this site then!
