How To Verify CD-R Data Retention Over Time?

Peter (Professor) Fo writes "I've recently had two CD-Rs reported to me as faulty which are just 3 years old. This is worrying — I suspect the failure rate for this batch could be 10%. When researching CD longevity there is old and unreliable information; pious 'how to cosset your discs so they last 100 years' blurb; and endless discussions of what sort of dye to use, don't use cheap media, burn slower (or don't), but not much by way of hard facts besides there's a lot of data loss going on. Does anyone know of a generic utility (win or *nix would suit me) that can map sector readability/error rates of CDs? I'd like to measure decay over time in my environment with my media and my other variables; and I expect others would too."

Experience Web 3.0 via Truevert Green Search Engine

When it comes to search engines, Web 3.0 or semantic web means systems learn the contexts of a word to be able to perform more targeted queries; no more hit or miss result.

True to the sense of Web 3.0 and clean technology, Truevert is a Web 3.0 search engine dedicated to the topic. So, for example, if you type a query for "solar," you're not going to get results about solar eclipses, you'll get results for solar energy instead.
