Presumably, then an atom of Carbon-13 could encode the English alphabet, or some trans-uranium element could be used for eight-bit binary data.
Radioactive storage anyone?
Rather than ask people to NOT donate, ask them to donate to YOU, so you can set up a 'ComiPedia' where things WON'T be deleted.

What do you mean too old?
Half your luck if you're thinking about retiring at 50.
Some people keep working all their lives.
Not that 50 is too old to be a programmer, or at least I hope it isn't, because I'm 50.
I now telecommute from a rural/coastal setting, working as a consultant/programmer to a few firms, and make a very decent living.
Highly recommended.
Just like it's vehicle manufacturers who kill and maim on the roads. If you can't or shouldn't drive then don't. Same applies to programming. Many programmers are optimists - poor misguided fools. If you write software, try to break it before you release it, or don't bother writing it in the first place.

I mean, that's how it's done, right?

Great idea, but has it been patented by M$oft?
Time-critical messages can easily be handled with......... a telephone!
You can get working ones from Stuff Central

Just remember - the cuntstomer is always right, even when expecting the impossible.

Floating point numbers are an approximation. So why would you use them for an exact answer? Duuuuhhhhhh
