Dumped for two reasons, prob'ly: (a) to keep costs down and (b) to build-in obsoleteness (or, more approp, have-to-buy-again-because-I-scratched-it).]]>Feb 29th 2008 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/Feb 29th 2008 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/Feb 29th 2008 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/
Looking at the translation they do mention they use very solid dye called 'AZO-DYN (Dine azo)' that's suppose to last extra long, so that's the pivotal thing then.

Damn, usually when I have critical data that I want to last for a really long time, I crank my burner up as fast as it'll go.]]>Feb 29th 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/Feb 29th 2008 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/Feb 29th 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/Feb 29th 2008 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/Feb 29th 2008 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/
When my great-grandkids unearth my CDs of family pictures in 100 years, will they still be able to read them? Will the CDs (or DVDs) still be readable? Will there be devices to read them?

Personally, I believe that until the fall of mankind, there will ALWAYS be a device that is capable of reading CD/DVD. Those who archived on Jaz drives and SuperDisks might be screwed, but CD/DVD have been standard media for 20+ years. In the future, it might not be a mainstream device that is every computer, but there is just too much media out there to EVER completely stop making some sort of reader. Now, the real question is, how long will YOUR discs last? Will YOUR great-grandkids be able to see our wedding photos, or the pictures of you puking your guts out on your 21st birthday?]]>Mar 1st 2008 10:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/29/mitsubishi-develops-corrosion-resistant-dvd-rs-for-the-long-haul/May 22nd 2008 8:08PM
