Small, clear, holds a lot of data.
A billion years from now an alien archeologist will find that hidden behind a brick in the ruins of an ancient house.
And it will wonder how people could possibly need that much porn.

"13.8 billion years"


Uh, our sun is due to expand into a super giant and then burn out into a white dwarf in about 5 billion years so there won't even be an Earth by then so these glass storage devices better be off-planet by that time!

Well... considering the plans for the hyperspace bypass have been posted locally for years, the Vogon constructor fleet may show up much earlier than that!

Say, how IS your tolerance for poetry? I'm going to grab a towel.


POLITICS, WAR, ECONOMY, CONTROVERSY! and other heated discussions and debates in the PWEC sub-forum at the bottom of this forum main page. See you there!

Imagine how many posts you'll have by then!

Anyways so I wonder if this technology can be applied to other applications like processing?

380 TB won't be enough to archive his posts, even if he doesn't make it to Kurzweil's singularity.

I'm still working on perfecting the perfect synthetic physical and cognitive copy of myself so that I can still be posting at that time. I need to consult the Westworld and Battlestar Galactica manuals further though.
