If you're worried about EMP, I hope you store the DVD archive in a firesafe too.

To be extra sure, write down all the important data on a paper in binary. And possibly laminate the paper after that.

[chief1983]

What?  Compressed HEX.  Takes up much less paper.

[Jeff Vader]

In other words, a girlier solution than the binary one.

I have a long time maintained a view that stone tables with ones and zeros are the way to store data.

Everything else should be considered a TEMP folder.

Stone? Bah, not durable enough.

Diamond-coated iridium (iridium is the king of durability) FTW.

[LordMelvin]

iridium's good, but still not enough. Something along the lines of neutronium would be better, to my mind.

No no no, what you want to do is create your own pocket universe with your information stored in the nature of its quantum values, so you can extrapolate your data from its physical constants. You could manipulate the value of pi to be the binary for the Freespace 2 ISO, for example.

Chinese school children trained to memorize binary code?

Sounds sexy.

[Topgun]

quantum computers 4tw.

[Snail]

Computers are dead sexy.

Hypothesis: Someone already did, this universe is the result.

Test: Run pi as an executable function.

Anyone up for it? I don't have the computing power...

[Topgun]

pi is an irrational number, you can't run it on a pc, maybe on a quantum computer tho.

[LordMelvin]

Dang! Now that's good content protection.

[MR_T3D]

be a pity if he forgot the password, or the key to the box for the pocket universe, or someone stole his universe

[LordMelvin]

Password, password, password, I know I left it under one of these galaxies somewhere...

Y'know, that'd explain a lot...

[Turey]

God forgot the root password to the universe around 50 A.D.?

[Admiral_Stones]

Ya just what happens when there's a blackout?

[LordMelvin]

It's a self-contained storage unit, with an onboard UPS rated for approximately 1.7 epochs. Power outages just disrupt the trans-multiversal I/O subsystems. That's where Dark Matter comes from.

No offense, but don't you people know anything? Geez, this is basic stuff, here.
