John from FL writes: Is there one brand of CD that is considered better than others? Also, would a DVD be better to record information on? This is a question not a lot of people think of because they assume CD/DVDs will last forever. Guess what? It's not true! Regular CDs and DVDs degrade with time and exposure to the elements. So what do you do to keep them as long as possible? Let's start with what you can do with regular CD/DVDs.
So what CD/DVDs do you want to buy if you're concerned about long-term reliability? When looking for archival CD/DVDs, you should pay attention to what the reflective layer is made out of and what dye is used. This information can be found in the manufacturers specifications for the disc. The best discs are made using gold as part of the reflective layer. You can identify them by the manufacturer indicating just gold is used. They can be found online for $2.00 a piece in packs of 25. These are rated for 300 years of storage in archival grade storage conditions. The second best style of CD/DVD are gold/silver hybrids which will mention both gold and silver, and can be found online for a bit cheaper (usually $1 to $2 per disc) in smaller packs. The lowest quality of archive discs will be silver only. These are better than traditional discs, but not by that much. Usually these cheaper discs are sold for under $1.00 each. Each of the above types of reflective layers can be made using different types of dyes. The best type of dye to look for isPhthalocyanine, the second best is Azo and the worst performing is Cyanine. As far as CD vs DVD, there isn't a difference in physical media that I know of in terms of lifespan – though by nature of there being less information stored on a CD it may be better to lose less of the "total" if you have 10 CDs and one goes bad versus all the information on one DVD. If it was me, I still might just make 3 copies of the same DVD – just in case. ~Tim Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!
Android Back-up Tips If you want to update the firmware of your Android phone, it's important to back up your contacts and apps. Everything else is individual, like sms messages, calendar and notes. In fact, you have the option of syncing your contacts, calendar and notes to Google already, so you don't have to worry about that. Still, things can go wrong if you rely too much on Google for syncing everything – and then again, what about backing up and restoring apps? Here are a few ways to go about backing up your Android phone before you press the panic button. STEP ONE Get the rest here! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!)
OpenOffice.org Writer: Selecting a Picture That's Behind Text Have you ever decided to put a picture in the background of a document? You inserted it into the document, resized it, maybe lightened the coloring and the changed the wrapping to have the text in front of it. (Right-click the picture, go to the Wrap sub-menu and choose In Background.) Sounds good to me! Well, it sounded good until I realized that I needed to edit the picture some more… I've clicked, double-clicked and even tried a triple click to select that picture and for all my efforts I got absolutely nowhere.

I found the site because I was looking for the history behind the phrase "square meal" because I was discussing it with another English major and we debated its origin in America. After checking that entry out I realized that this would have been a perfect teaching tool earlier in the year when I worked with several students for whom English was their second language and discovered that phrases, idioms, and colloquialisms were the hardest for them to master in their writing (either in the actual paper they were writing or analyzing what they had read). I really wish I would have had it then, because it would have made a handy one-stop reference that they could use when they got stuck. Navigation is straightforward on this site – There is an introduction paragraph and then an alphabetical listing of phrases for you to choose from. Click the phrase you want to learn more about. For example, click the phrase Cold Turkey – you'll go to its page and discover the Meaning and then how the word originated under Origin. You can receive multiple references of the word, how it has evolved over time, the first time it was in print, and even other hypothesized meanings under origins. Then you can click the link at the bottom of the page that will take you back to the main phrase index. It was really neat to see how all these phrases originated and whether they are used outside of the USA. Go check them out today! http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/american-phrases-and-sayings.html ~Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com You Gotta See It to Believe It!
