you got nothing
That's true, I got nothing. But I can still be touchy, rude, and grumpy while being content-free.
Thanks for reminding me I forgot to include this logical technical argument in my re-cap of the Gavinista's Very Bad

Kryder's Law says disk storage will keep on getting cheaper. Yet it is increasingly looking like it won't, which has baleful implications for cloud storage and archiving.
Like Moore's Law, Kryder's Law is (a) not a law, merely a wonderfully apt observation for a prolonged but not eternal period of time, and (b) borne of an incredibly bold and confident view of technology.
The assumption was that: "If you could afford to store some data for a few years, you could afford to store it forever. The cost of that much storage would have become negligible." Only that is no longer true.

So much for the 'hurr durr cheap hard drives' (AKA argumentum ad Amazon) rational for GavinCoin.
