12 exabytes of unique information… 12 exabytes of unique information…
Humanity had created about 12 exabytes of unique information by mid-1999 and would double that vast quantity by mid-2002, researchers from the School of Information Management and Systems at the University of California, Berkeley, predicted two years ago. There is an interesting article in the Financial Times about the vast heap of information being churned out by the networked world. An exabyte is 10 to the power 18 bytes, or a billion gigabytes, or 50,000 times the contents of the US Library of Congress.

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.
