I'm tired of people calling unuseable optical media "coasters."
But I guess it's a pretty good, economical description.
As long as people don't say it as if there's some sort of ingenuity or cleverness in what they're saying, it's probably fine.
That's kind of the root of my annoyance at trite expressions. When people USE THAT SHIT and parade about as if they are behaving authentically.

I read Dragons of Eden and he jerked his dick about Pong at the end, so I was like "Geez, this guy's not smarter than me at all!" |

It's hard for me to describe how angry I was at myself when, in a moment of laziness, I said "you owe me a new keyboard," and Big Fagot immediately (and rightly) called me on it.
I had only seen it ONCE up to that point! I thought it was safe!
That's when I realized that one can never be too vigilant when it comes to these things. If you spot something that makes you go, "haha, that's kind of clever," don't repeat it in some other apt situation, ever, when it ends up being the first thing that pops into your head. Just don't do it. That's how these things get started. |

Peter, you should read Nightfall.
Anyway, the proper backup media is tape. |

I should put who4.avi on a tape and shoot it into space.
Along with a note saying Chris is responsible for it. |

Fucking tape?
Get real!
What is this, 1954?
When you do the research, you come to the depressing realization that every type of storage media that has yet been invented is surprisingly lacking and fragile. There's basically nothing that you can count on for more than 20 years.
But tape sure as hell isn't the answer!

Also, Sagan's writing isn't dated. You're retarded Peter, and cannot identify dated or non-dated writing. You have the reading comprehension skills of a small autistic child.
Computer DVD drives are generally better than the TV ones. I suppose they have to be better quality to read arbitrary data. |

That's what amazes me about my Apex.
It's typical cheap-ass "front table at Costco" electronics, yet it reads discs that I have tried and failed to read on SEVERAL DVD-ROM drives. |

Sagan's writing is dated and *says bad things about you*.
I guess what's riling you is that I must be impugning his commitment to rationalism and the scientific method? Because that shit went out with platform shoes! |

Whatever. You'll keep saying unsubstantiated bullshit that has no basis in reality regardless of what I do.
It does make me a bit upset that you have nothing more than a superficial understanding of the written word. |

Buying external harddrives is cheaper, plus the last longer than CDs and DVDs. They also hold more. |

Cheaper?
If you know where I can get a 470 GB external hard drive (or 5 94 GB external hard drives) for $30 I'm all ears! |
