if you burn an original cd, is the cdr the same quality? or it loses quality?
do cdrs last less than originals?

the cheap ones last less, this was in the news some weeks ago.
The quality depends on the way how you burn them.
now i wonder too

I stuck a Samsung CD-R that I burned about four years ago into my computer last night and it refused to read it at all. Very annoying.

Difficult to say. I have unbranded ones that are still working after five years and branded (Samsung) ones that aren't.

hehe... as long as I don't do a lot of alcohol (several days in a row), it works the way I want it to :)
If I do a lot of alcohol my memory (what happened thoose days) gets fuzzy.
Also, when sleeping enough (you know what's enough for you) you become more aware/concious of everything you do <-- and for me it has improved my shorttermmemory; like what I am doing right now, where did I put that thing, etc.
I guess it's the same for most people (atleast drinking too much makes the memory fuzzy, and sleeping enough makes you more aware of the present :)

Just get good quality ones burn them at a slow speed
good ones in my experience: TDK, Sony, Octron
Bad ones: Traxdata, MMore, Arita, Nashua and those no-brand ones
I've also heard that if they're made in Japan they usually are of higher quality
