before we get to the g-spot, could someone tell me what this vagina you all keep talking about is?
People like flashy stylish objects as proved by Apple product line.
The problem with Bing is it's a flash useless object.
If they make it flashy and give excellent search results then people will start using it.
I didn't start using google because it was "cool". I started using it because it actually let you find what you were looking for. If another search engine comes along which give better results than google i'd start using that instead. But Bing so far atleast is not it.
Google created a great search engine. Matching those features is not enough you need to surpass it.
-use something like paper disk [http://www.paperdisk.com/] to print the data on paper made with a plastic. or maybe laminate it ordinary paper.
-Write the decoding algorithm using a very basic language like c and leave a printout of the code along with the encoded data. Even a hundred years into the future, people will be able to find C manuals. Even if no one uses it they will be able to either write a new C compiler or translate it to their language of choice.
-Your biggest problem would probably be about the data itself. once the extract the bitstream how do they decode it to information. Hopefully people will still be able to decode jpegs, mp3s, and text documents. if not you will need to give them algorithms to those as well. (but for 25 years i think this should not be a problem)
