Comment on: Hacker wipes Romania's land registry database

Not at all the same thing - what equipment do you need to read hieroglyphs on top of understanding the language (which goes for digital, too)? If you have the paper and understand the language, that's it. We already can see that accessing old digital data isn't necessarily easy if it wasn't always kept on/converted to current media and formats (will we keep that up for millenia)?And both storage can be broken, needing reconstruction.If I were to give you a 70y old book in English vs some 70y tape with data on - which one is easier to read?
