Problem : Optical medialike DVDs finally snuff it . Solution , according to Barry Lunt : really cut up data point into a disc composed of magic hard “ pertinacious ” materials with a laser .
HisMillennial Disks(say that 3x fast ) can be read in unconstipated videodisk drives , despite being made with a unavowed sauce of “ persistent ” materials — he send packing words like Au and obsidian , which makes it sound expensive . Indeed , they cost $ 30 . For DVD . That you’re able to never rewrite . A Blu - beam reading is in the works ( will they cost $ 100 ? ) .
And it might be a lie ! The plastic — his phonograph record ’ weak point , your disc ’ strong point — could snuff it before the magnetic disk reach a thousand years old : “ That credit card may limit us to a few centuries or a thousand year for now . ” Is there a warranty ? Plus , should n’t it be Millennial Disc , not disc ?
Also , will the slot - loading disc drives in the bellies of the invading aliens be able to scan Millenniata ’s millennian discs in 1000 years ? These are the kinds of compatibility questions we should be take up badly today , before they become a problem tomorrow , like with magnetic tape today .
If only there was a way to copy data point to plenty of dissimilar places , so that if it die in one place , it would still survive in another place . That would be really super gravid . [ Herald ExtraviaSlashdot ]
