laser rot

Used most often among laserdisc collectors, "laser rot" describes a progressive condition that causes the video and audio of a laserdisc to become distorted and/or unplayable. The deterioration of audio/video is usually attributable to manufacturing defects (though it has also been attributed to improper storage by users), and tends to appear most frequently in specific batches by specific manufacturers. Early MCA DiscoVision titles and mid/late Sony USA releases are most prone to laser rot. For the most part, no matter the reason for the "rot"- inclusion defects in the glue, exposure to the elements, impure substrates- the deterioration of the audio/video is due to corrosion of the aluminum reflective layer, and LD players using shorter-wavelength lasers can often read through "rot" that stymies other players.

Rot on laserdiscs usually manifests itself as multi-colored "snow"/speckles in the picture frame, and tends to be worse at the beginning and end of a LD side, corresponding to edges of the LD itself. Once laser rot sets in on a LD, it worsens over time, often rendering the LD unplayable or unwatchable. Typical wisdom holds that laser rot manifests itself within a couple of years of manufacture, though some cases of laser rot beginning after longer periods of time are known.

Similar conditions may affect other optical disc formats, and some people use "laser rot" as a catch-all term to describe failure-over-time of CDs and DVDs, even if the reasons for those failures may not be due to the same defects that caused rot in laserdiscs.

When I first watched my copy of Witchcraft VII, it was fine... and when I popped it in last week, I couldn't watch the sex scenes through all of the snow... damn laser rot.

Rotting Christ

Rotting Christ has been around for longer for Immortal, Emperor, Burzum, plus a whole lot of other bands. Euronymous was actually going to sign them to Deathlike Silence Productions before he died, so yes, they are Black metal (Metal-Archives even thinks so).

So anyway, it's a great greek black metal band with a Gothic type feel to their music. Early Demos were influenced more by Grindcore, before they became a fully blown black metal band. Like I said, They've been around for more years then their Norwegian Black metal musicians so they are highly influential. Lyrics usually talk about Greek Mythology and love which is definitely something new in black metal.

100x better than Dimmu or Cradle.

Rotting Christ has some great albums such as Sanctus Diavolos, Triarchy of the Lost Lovers, and Khronos.

Internet Rot

Internet Rot is when internet searches result in outdated and old information and pages.

Internet Rot examples on Urban Dictionary:

Obamanation: A complete desolation that will cover the United States should our nation be stupid enough to elect Barack Obama as our president.

George W. Bush: He's our current president.

As you can see, these definitions are outdated, and therefore are Internet Rot.

Another example of Internet Rot: Googling for 'make Firefox faster' mostly comes up with articles from 2004 regarding Firefox 1.0.
