hahaha, fun how this thread turns out. But keep in mind: Using R/G/B Lasers won't increase the speed of light, so don't try to debunk BS with BS.

I have read about an indian student 4y ago who invented a geometrical compression algorithm that could save about 80GB onto an image, the size of an A4 document. Never heard back from him

You mean this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Storage

It does work, he just slightly overestimated the maximum density :) There is an open-source implementation (http://ollydbg.de/Paperbak/) that stores ~3mb per page.
