Just send them a copy of the business plan. (I assume that anyone planning a business would develop a detailed business plan, including goals, dates, detailed income/sales budgets etc. It can be pure fantasy of course, but there really should be one - it's very handy when trying to borrow money)

Comment 117TB? Really? (Score 1) 69

Do they really mean 117TB?

Some quick sums on file sizes for online digitized material:
200K pages - say a generous 100K/page = 20GB
300 reels of tape + 1245 recordings, say 1000 hours of audio at about 1MB/minute = 60GB
72 reels of film, say 50 hours at a generous 2GB/hour (DVD quality) = 100GB
1500 images + [images of] 300 artifacts at a generous 1MB each = about 2GB
Total: 182GB
What are they doing with the other 116.8 TB? Digitizing the genome of every woman he slept with?

Comment A most ingenious paradox... (Score 1) 853

One of the organisations who have clearly "committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence that have the purpose or effect of threatening the peace or stability of Iraq..." is the government of the United States of America, and its duly appointed leader. Does this mean that the US Government is now going to freeze all the assets of the US Government and George W Bush? Could be complicated? I suggest he might want to rescind this order pretty quickly...
