http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Matrix or some other well documented data format. I think there will always be digital imaging devices like scanners and cameras around.
Maybe even include decoder sourcecode in OCR friendly print. You're planning for 25 years, but who knows:-)

You're kidding, right? I mean the current state of affairs doesn't even seem remotely sane as is... to me... In no time it'll be safer to shoot someone and steal a CD than to copy it, I tell you.
Don't mess with sugar, use the blue (rougher) side of a pencil eraser.
It takes a whille but it works.
Sugar on my gadgets sounds like a really bad idea.

Where's the 'confusing' moderate option when you need it?
