Comment of the Day -- 2007-03-28

From a blog post asking readers to submit suggestions for the best way to back up a lot of data:

13. My uncle works for NASA. Years ago, he was called in to consult for the government on how to store some important data. Tape drives? CDs? (This was before DVDs.) His response was this: "If you write it on papyrus and lock it in a pyramid, we know it will last a few thousand years. Everything else is just guesswork."
