That is yet another argument for why one company should not become a virtual library of Alexandria for oss.

When Megaupload was destroyed, it was like losing the Library of Alexandria to me.

To put it in perspective, the library of Alexandria likely had 500K scrolls [1].

I live in Alexandria and I can assure you that I am not a trust fund baby.

Hopefully, this will help reduce the problem of the Web of Alexandria that Brett Victor talked about: 60% of my fav links from 10 yrs ago are 404.

To be fair, though, Alexandria is not fair from Arlington, and about the only people who can afford to live in either of them these days are trust fund babies.

The Internet Archive presumably backs up their data and I think they have some older copies in the Netherlands and the new Library of Alexandria in Egypt.

Most of I95 south of Alexandria is rather boring -- hours and hours of trees -- if you're starting by DC it's a little more fun to divert along US 301, passing through horse territory and then rolling through Fort AP Hill.

Just in case something was to happen to the Library, we wouldn want to lose all the knowledge like we did with Library of Alexandria (Although I'm sure we can find all the missing manuscripts in this library:) ) Second, maybe it would be worth adding ability to flag pages/books but also include a flag that signifies that there is nothing really worth reading there.

Alexandria, VA seems perfect for FiOS: highly educated people in the middle to upper class, living in dense suburbs.

Based on being ten minutes or less from a Wegman's, I'm going to guess Fairfax or Alexandria.

There were big libraries, like the one in Alexandria, that were destroyed.
