Digital Domesday Defies Doom

Posted by michael on from the obsoletion-defeation dept.

Hulver writes "The BBC Domesday project, originally completed in 1986 and under threat (as reported in this old slashdot story) has had its data recovered. The contents of the laserdiscs have been put on DVD, and new programs written so that PCs can access the data. Interestingly, most of the images and films were not recovered from the laserdiscs, but were instead re-digitised from the original analog films at a higher resolution than the laserdiscs contained. Full details of the recovered data are at the Public Record Office website."

    Michael should be dead now from AIDS. Seriously, someone who takes cock up the ass as often as His Royal Anus should have caught the A train by now.

    Maybe this article should be "Michael Defies Death."
