Courtesy of The Register, I followed their link to a company called Delkin (the data Belkin?) who are touting their premium Blu-Ray disks (BD-R) with a lifetime of 200 years (and 100 years for their DVD-R disks).
Now, this all sounds wonderful; a “guaranteed protection over time” (whatever that means) for your [...]
You will remember that I recently posted a comment about migration costs, specifically with relation to Incipient.

In a remarkable piece of coincidence, two WWII unexploded bombs were found today and caused air traffic delays. The first, at Stratford in east London, temporarily closed London City Airport.
