Is it possible to conserve books and works of art through iradiation?

Irradiation (e.g. strong x-ray or gamma) may be harmful to microorganisms working at the destruction of the object, but it won't halt chemical processes outside biodegration, and may even harm molecules. Ultraviolet light will harm pigments and surfaces. Modest amounts of infrared irradiation may help to dry an object to prevent molding, but other methods like freeze-drying are preferable.\n\nFor a very narrow cause of damage, irradiation may help. In general, it won't.

Get off the Internet and open a few books?

Take the disk and open it up. There is a way to open them up from the little silver circle. Theres a brown plastic thing inside that keeps all your data. Just get rid of that and you will be fine. You can cut it up or burn it. I dont think there is a special way of recycling them unless you just want to format the disk (which will erase all data anyway) and then give it to someone who might want them. A lot of schools have a need for them so you might want to give them to a school near you.

If you have WinRAR you should simply be able to unrar all the files into a temporary location and re-compress them into a cab file.  WinRAR supports both archive types, but I don't think it will do a direct conversion.

A good idea is perhaps reporting it to a local museum. It's not a moveable artifact, of course, but they usually have old records and information and may want pictures or whatnot.

yes, if we want to go back to Hilter's Germany in 1938.  All dicators burn/ ban certain books to keep their people in ignorance of what is going on in the rest of the world.  I believe that reading is our best defense against dicators.

Well since paper supposedly bursts into flame at that temperature, then yes.  Unless you have some kind of super fire proof bible.

As long as you make sure that nobody else than the people you would borrow the book get a copy of the scan it can be seen as fair use.\nDo not put it at any publicly accessible place - like a web server, a shared folder, etc.

Recycle it, or turn it into sculptures you can sell to people who find it "artsy."

Yes but the range you require would not be possible. Gamma rays spread out. You cannot reflect it into a fine beam.\nSo it is very difficult. However if you invent one .I would strongly advice u not to kill all...(or for that matter any) humans using it:-)

I Hear you can put an ad in your local newspaper to take old computers off someones hands for  a minimal fee,so it does,nt end up in the landfill, & then you can recondition it if you have the technology for that thing.

Yes, you could, if you made sure you weren't breaking local and state fire laws, air pollution laws, took responsibility for the remains (which are still yours, and thus your responsibility), and didn't break any laws regarding the proper disposal of automobiles or toxic substances.  In addition, you can't use your insurance, as this would be fraud (you torched it).\n\nThere may be other laws to consider, but you could always donate it, even to a movie maker for destruction by fire!

My research says it will be returned to the Egyptian authority after it is preserved. It was taken illegally from Egypt, kept in a shoe box and sold to the highest bidder.So legally it still belongs to them.\n Whether it impacts our faith is up to us. whether it affects the Catholic church? Who can say? I believe we have a voice to "Cry in the wilderness" about the way the Catholic church keeps alot of the ancient writings hidden from public knowledge. Maybe if we "Cry" loud and long enough the overwhelming volume will open the dusty vaults and let the light of knowing the truth in. Seek and you will find, much of todays Christian belief is questionable. How much is defined by what the Big Bad Catholic church has hidden from us we can only guess. Jesus axtolls us to 'Heed not that we be deceived.'It scares me to no end how we have already been so deceived

I don't think so. I have discs of backup data that I have stored for over 5 years, and they still work fine. Most likely, if your disc is 3-5 years old and isn't reading, it may be scratched, have a damaged read sector, or simply not be able to be read by your current drivers ... for example, older discs burned under Adaptec software (later renamed ROXIO) may not read properly if your computer doesn't have the UDFReader software.\n\nTo all intents and purposes, as long as the disc isn't damaged, it should have the same "shelf life" of any commercial disc

Please be thoughtful to donate them to a University,or a Sheltered Workshop if they are listing anything for sales on line. \n\nAny not-for-profit organization would be blessed to have this donation if they are currently working with computers.  \n\nIf you find a Sheltered Workshop, give them the idea to take in donations of books that are rated R and not for resale at Good Will and list them on Amazon.com  Very kind of you to donate them.
