CD-R Dye Types

I was sitting here and for some reason I thought about the dye they use inside of CD-R discs. I figured that one type of dye must be better than the other types. So I searched for CDR dye type with Google. The very first result had a whole lot of stuff about the different types.

After reading the article at CD Meida World I decided that Phthalocyanine dyes made for the best discs. They're the discs that look Gold on the bottom. According to this (shareholder information?) that I found at the Data Storage Associates' website those Golden discs will last more than 100 years. The average store bought CD will only last 5 - 25 years.

Sorry I just thought that was interesting and wanted to share it. If anyone cares about their CD collection they might think about getting some Phthalocyanine CD-R discs. I'm going to see if I can find any place that sells them cheap.

To ARG or not to ARG?

ARGN: Rookery Tower:
by Dee Cook

A recent post on the Unfiction forums indicates the start of a new ARG called Rookery Tower.

In 1851, conjoined twins, Eric and Richard, were born to a couple who lived on Rookery Hill. Tragedy after tragedy followed, leading to an apparent climax sometime in the late 1800s, details of which are yet to be discovered. Now in 2005, Layla Hardesty has moved into Rookery Tower and is encountering paranormal experiences ranging from a wandering dishpan to eerie knocks to strange messages appearing in her blog. The paranormal investigation firm called to work on the case is also encountering corruption on their web page. Players are attempting to help Layla and Morgan Paranormal find out the story behind Rookery Tower and the apparent haunting by the twins.

This appears to be a solid grassroots game making good use of free web resources. There have been several puzzles so far based on cyphers, misplaced letters, and other means. So far several players have enjoyed email interaction with in-game characters.

This is a fresh new ARG. The best time to jump in is right now, but should I? These things are really time consuming and frustrating. The payoff is usally satisfying though. I'm new to the whole genre as well so my interest is peaked. This looks like it might be an intesting game too.

Ok here is my take on why the box office is dying ..... Lets see Crap Crap Crap Crap Crap How many remakes can you make Ohh Im not sure lets remake this remake of the remake .... Who freaking cares if you've seen a movie once you've seen the movie you know the plot why bother ? Here is the pole :

Question 1: What keeps you away from seeing a movie in theaters?
28%	The quality of movies — most of them suck
26%	All of the above
22%	The ticket price
11%	People in theaters are rude and annoying
9%	The DVD is out in a couple months anyway — I can wait
3%	I hate sitting through all those pre-movie ads
Total votes: 10,652

Im not the only person obviously who feels this way :) honestly you know what part of it is is that celebrity and hollywood have become so out of touch with the real world they dont know a hit when it kicks them in the face and then when it becomes a hit they say ooo i never saw that coming. For instance ohh i dunno a movie that has to do with real life ? Also i have a feeling that alot of people are becoming increasingly offended by these celbrities who feel that they need to open there mouths and tell us there opinions on politics and so on .... If i wanted to hear your opinion i would be paying you for that :) Shut Up And Do Your Job We Dont Care Who You Think Should Be Anything ...............You Want To Tell Us Your Opinion On UnderWear hey cool .. lol Shush ............ Most of you are no more intellegent that the rest of the population of the us and money may give you some things but brains it will never acquire ....... Sooooo anyway movies of today are unoriginal just look at the summer line up Remake Remake Remake A Remake Of Part Of a Bad Movie Remake and so on ..... its no longer about entertaining us its about makeing the almighty dollar and that is it ......... We The People Of The United States Of America Demand
Origional thought we always have and always will perhaps you should climb off those money mountains and rejoin us The Regular FOLK YEEEHAWWWW !
