Considering how our archaeology works today it will most likely be called "some sort of cult thing", that's what we do whenever we can't explain things. "The people around the time back then worshipped small virtual creatures gathering minerals and gas, supposedly symbolizing their economic struggle. Entire countries have been developed to glorify those little virtual things." | ||

And I'd set the enemy AI to "very easy" and 50% handicap. Then I would go on just to practice my builds and not give a shit about the AI. Except sometimes, I'd get bored and start fantasizing that I'm playing against NaDa or something like that. I frantically micro my units all around the damn map. I'd be like "HOLY FUCKING SHIIIT!!! THERE'S A DOUBLE DROP IN MY MAIN" and I'd run away all of my workers and bring some of my army back. Then I'd be like "WHAT DAFAQ!!! MY THIRD IS UNDER ATTACK!! THAT NADA'S MULTITASKING!!! FUCK!!" and I'd go defend it. And I'd actually snipe my own third with my own units and try to rebuild it elsewhere. The whole time I'd be running my units all over the damn map. In the end, all my units would be dead, my base would be in shambles after all those insane drops going on all game long. (actually just my own units attacking my buildings and each other). At last, I'd muster up what I had and push Nada's base, only to find out he has like 1 marine and 6 SCV's. And then I realize how huge of a waste of time that was. TT | ||

The thing is that the medium, although it stores 0s and 1s logically, in the physical domain it is less digital. If a hard drive writes a logical 0, it only pulls the bit to the polarisation of logical 0. It does so quickly and imperfectly. So if you uniformly write 0s on the entire disk, with special equipment you can still read where you have ~0.1s and ~0.2s giving you an image of where you had logical 0s and 1s before. With enough iterations of random writes, you will able to make the data unrecoverable, though. Or you could be more direct about it by physically destroying the hard drive. | ||
