In a 1000 years even if they don’t have the drives, as long as they still know roughly how it works maybe they will photograph it with a microscope and read the tracks in the M-Disc from that. Then they will have to decode it also of course

I told a friend one time, what if there was a web site that had opening hours. He said, you can already see the opening hours of all the stores and stuff on Google Maps. I said, no, not a website like that. I mean, the website itself is ope

The difference what I put as a) and what was written in the OP blog post are a couple of things. 1: In the blog post they wrote: > this website vanishes in February. Despite the fact that it's registered and paid for until 2040. So

Note that the posted link talks about .uk.co, which currently does not exist but I guess may have in the past. Where .co is the ccTLD of Colombia. Different from .co.uk.
