From Footnote 1:
[...] If we were to use the full dynamic range of 24bit and a listener had the equipment to reproduce it all, there is a fair chance, depending on age and general health, that the listener would die instantly. The most fit would probably just go into coma for a few weeks and wake up totally deaf.

Great points. Earlier today I read an AP story before seeing this (now COB Friday). While I have not gone through the posts at TC, the AP story appeared to have checked/ covered/ summarized both sides http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=990515
Interesting Arrington said neither has rights to the product. Just pointing out from an independent AP source instead of TC.
Arrington: [CruchPad] paying a lot of bills... $400,000...
Rathakrishnan: CrunchPad did not contribute code or funding... never agreement on terms of an acquisition... neither funding nor buyout were materializing...
Arrington, November 30, posted on TechCrunch that Fusion Garage and its investors had suddenly decided to dump the CrunchPad team... neither side owned rights to the product.
Rathakrishnan on Monday refuted Arrington story and introduced JooJoo.
Arrington filed suit to block sales of Fusion Garage JooJoo.

Taking 'information heavy' to mean large data size/ volume. File system can be seen as a basic database. When data access paths are not pre-defined e.g. URL, slug, tag, etc., a systematic way to organize and query is required. Three examples: (a) not knowing what user may query, text indexing today almost index every words. (b) given predefined access path, NNTP have used mostly files. (c) mail servers have both. IMO, in general, addressing domain specific requirements, database systems (relational, logical, network...) are not slower, harder to update/ backup. As pointed out in another comment, disk IO is slow. Both file and database systems feature various ways to speed that. Understanding requirements, then architect, design, and choose a solution stack carefully.
Even having read a few popular science books a few years ago (50-year DNA anniversary), it's been too many years since AP Biology. Could you/ others please recommend a few titles (articles, books, titles), at the AP Biology level, on (a) proteins and RNA, (b) genes and DNA ? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for pointing that out. The choice of a single source file is a great C feature. The author appears to have started from a few hundred lines in 2006. Grew that 10x, to a few thousand. Curses/ ncurses bring back good memory of various mail and news readers. I bet a few of you tried curses/ ncurses. IMO, character user interface has its efficiency; prefers CUI to icon bars, ribbons, etc.
