>4 petabytes – equivalent to 3m CD-Roms... Where are they getting these 1333MB CD-ROMs? Also: that article's overloaded first sentence is NOT going to win any

  Must be those double-sided CD-ROMs?

    I think a double-sided CD-ROM would be too thick for most CD readers to rotate at the correct speed.

  > And what kind of news article has an average sentence length of 29 words The Guardian usually has excellent writing -- and I for one don't mind reading long sentences. If anything, it's refreshing.

    A sentence can be any length, there is no rule defining the maximum number of words that can be used to convey the point, however some experts use a sentence's word count to quantify elements of an authors intelligence, put simply its one way you can spot AI bots operating on social media.

      No it hasn't. I've been reading the guardian physically for years, it's still good. How many is a few anyway? They only broke the Panama papers 6 years ago now

        Maybe time to revisit your assumptions. I'd grant the Guardian was still fairly decent under Rubsbridger, but under Viner its quality has dropped precipitously. Full 180 on Assange, dereliction of their previous general support for international and UK leftwing issues. Nowadays they are a joke, washy liberalism and snapping at the coat-tails of US democrat readers (if any). A taint which also loses readers and undermines the authority of their (better) climate writers, which is a shame.

  They might be using all those Dreamcast GD-ROMs after the system's demise.
