oh wow, I am Russian but am part English, so I can feel your pain there too. Russians are criticized for nuking every problem they have, and are criticized for being evil and creepy. Oh well, I like being creepy but not the nuking part. We don't nuke all of our problems, just if we need to. ;) --

I've never heard of this before, but I wouldn't think recyclability would be an attribute when it comes to DVDs. Personally, I want my data to last as long as possible. As for compatibility, while they would probably be fine in a tray loading drive, slot loaders can be tricky. I have heard of
