Say Goodbye To Your CD-Rs In Two Years?

Posted by timothy on from the mine-mostly-still-work dept.

Little Hamster writes "According to an article on cdfreaks.com, a test done by the Dutch PC-Active magazine showed that among 30 different CD-R brands tested, a lot of them were already unreadable after twenty months. This is shocking, and makes me wonder how should I backup my data, photo and music collection."

    I live in New Mexico and have multiple fast internet connections. for the last few I days have found it almost impossible not to time out when trying to reach slashdot. It usually takes four or five tries. not having this problem with other web sites. I get this on all computers,ISPs, and browsers. Anyone else experiencing this?

    I realize this is off topic, but I dont know where else to bring this up. and I cant imagine this is an isolated problem. what's going on?

    I really do wonder how this guy offended any moderators.
    I honestly used to believe that moderators were supposed to be moderate.

    I have the answer, people are fucking with the system, someone creates multiple accounts and posts round the clock, and harvest mod points and screws with his/her foes, it is just pathetic how people spend their times, I have been systematically hit by an "overrated" and "troll" moding for the last month, I just smile when I see this, it makes me feel important that someone will go through all this trouble just to mod me down.
