If it's archive it's highly likely to be your primary data. Same protection *should* rules apply as for active data, replicate or backup second site, or offsite.
Confirm readability of a sample per media unit at regular intervals, re-create from copy (fairly unlikely to have gone bad, but I concede not impossible) - basic good practice.
Nothing lasts for ever, although there are a large number of people who would argue Elvis will.
"Everyone can see Samsung lacks INNOVATION. Don't you have a brain of your own??? Goodness! You suck! I definitely am dumping my S4 straight to the toilet!"
Why buy an S4 if it lacks innovation? You want style (or at least media considered style) and innovation buy the iphone.
Samsung Smart TVs seem pretty innovative to me, although I haven't researched the history because I couldn't care less I either want one or I don't.
Pointless argument, buy the one that you like, if you regret it then so be it. Personally I prefer a device that I can upgrade so the iPhone is out for me, no cause to regret thus far, but if Apple come up with something so incredibly innovative and more importantly useful to me then I might. It's a risk you take when you commit to buy.
More important to me (and I would initially state that no corporates are spotlessly clean when put under a moral microscope) I personally like consumer choice rather than monopolies on anything. Iphone's near monopoly meant they could bully the carriers meaning it cost all of us more to buy an iPhone, the erosion of that position is a good thing regardless of the argument about who designed what. Apple, like all corporates, want to protect market share and felt the best way to do so was lawsuits, undermines the innovation argument IMO, but as above I don't care less, I want it or I don't.
Apple were at one time hip for not being Microsoft, Microsoft being the big corporate bully, proving that Leopards can indeed change their spots. A shame really.
Problems setting up a direct debit with BT a number of years back, tried 5 times, no joy, line disconnected.
Time for some serious action - discovered the email address of the Chairman's Office and hey presto! That still had to be chase, when the special advisor didn't fix it I emailed asking for an *extra* special advisor.
Talk-Talk no better, O2 not perfect but an improvement on Talk-Talk, Sky seemed to think the ADSL could transfer more data than the speed was actually capable of.
Parents have Virgin and that seemed very straight-forward.
