  1. Have a weird situation. Was wondering if anyone could provide some possible insight. But, I believe, I'll have to get a replacement disc. I bought a comic book collection that was recently released on two data DVD-ROM's. It was a 2 disc set, where Disc 1 is fine. I even ran an image read on it. But, Disc 2 is the nutter. Windows returns it is blank! So, I decided to dig into it a bit and eventually loaded DVDInfo to have a look. Media Information Region information N/A not a DVD-VIDEO Media code/Manufacturer ID N/A Pressed DVD Format Capacity 3.04GB(3.26GB) Book Type DVD-ROM Media Type DVD-ROM Data area starting sector 30000h Data area end sector 1852E0h Linear Density 0.267um/bit Track Density 0.74um/track Number of Layers 1 Basically, all it's returning is the disc format size, that it's a pressed DVD-ROM, AND a Data area starting and end sector? So, I created an ISO from it. The read was too quick for my taste so I figured something was up. However, the size of the file was roughly on par with the listed format above. Over 3 GB. So, I mounted the image to see if there was data on it, but, Windows returned it was a "Blank CD" on the virtual drive! So, what could possibly be up here? Is there actual data on the disc and there isn't a table of contents? Or what? The ISO read part is what gets me. Granted, I'm not an expert in this field but if it's reading something to the ISO and the ISO is in the 3 GB range, that would seem that there is data on the disc that I just can't get access to. So, is there a way to get to it? Suggestion box is open.
  2. Thanks to a certain, friendly magic dragon! Speaking of Genesis, received my R1 DVD on Saturday. (2008 will mark the 20th anniversary of when I first saw it on PBS. ) Ah, there is a reason why it is considered the greatest Doctor Who serial of all time! It still holds up today. And, to have Tom Baker finally on a commentary... sweet!
  3. So, the Daleks and the Cybermen did appear in the same episode, July 1st?
  4. Saw some wider exposure for the 9th Doctor season on American TV last night. Was rather surprised to be a Best Buy ad for the July 4th R1 DVD boxed set release on a station other than the Sci-Fi Channel! I think it was on FX.
  5. I looked at that earlier, theres a preveiw on the beeb's site if you havent seen it already. Only short, but looks good. Click here. Cool! I don't recall seeing a preview link when I first saw this post, which is where I learned of it.
  6. Wouldn't be the first time it happened on Doctor who, either. The Brigadier died back in the Dalek Master Plan, to name but one.
  7. Strange, I received e-mail notifications from two different e-mail addreses on this subject. The normal forum@imgburn.com and also from forum@imgburn.com.uk-forums.net
  8. any word on how Faith and Hope are doing Hope had turned into Hore last I had Herd. As for Faith, I think she also teamed up with Charity for a country folk duo.
  9. Speaking of Invasion, I can't believe the BBC is actually using one of MY ideas! Supposedly, in November, original series story, The Invasion, is going to be released on DVD. And that the two missing episodes will have Cosgrove-Hall (Danger Mouse, Count Duckula) animation synched to the surviving off-air recordings to replicate the missing episodes.
  10. whose Charity his mistress or a stripper at the local titty bar,his favorite hooker ,do you have any pics Speaking of which Charity always means something different to each individual. For Charity was remembered, as she was by all the other boys in my 5th grade class, as the only gal who had developed boobs by then.
  11. Written by Stan Beer... PERFECT! ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
  12. I had wondered. My guess is it's a cheaper/lesser form of champagne?
  13. BabyCham! Of course! They had to work in a nickname for an old girlfriend of mine. My first, actually. I liked the one in the list relating to GUINNESS! Perfect logic!
  14. No, it was a Mac laptop, if I recall correctly. The best point to make is why would a vastly superior alien race have developed computer based language that is not only human readable, and thus compatible, but, is also American English.
  15. No. I can see some logical reasons for it. The primary one being an evolutionary change. That over time, human female cycles were gradually altered so that they were on par with the lunar cycle. Thus, a woman had an easy way to gauge when she would be best receptive for pregnancy, or avoid it, by simply looking up. A physics one could also be related to slight gravitational variances as the moon changes position. Thus, as the forces waxed and waned, less would hold up an egg, so to speak, where it can stay in a corporeal state.
  16. Oh, it would fix them, all right... by killing them along with the rest of us... well, the rest of you who are sane. I believe there is supposedly actual verifiable statistical data that crazy calls to police, etc. do increase on full moon nights. Your old girlfriend, in addition to being a psychiatric ward nurse, was also 70% water.
  17. Ah, but, that was a COMET! Anyone who believes aliens are coming on COMETS to get them is a deluded fool! Unlike those who believe in the one truth of the Asteroid Venusians. When my friends get here, we shall be in paradise, where we shall partake of the holy sacraments of the blood and body of that which sustains us:
  18. Well, I HAD been warning you all the Venusians were coming, remember! But, you didn't listen, did you?! All I can say is I'm just waiting for my friends to get here and we can have some special beer made from very fine ingredients, billions of which are available for processing here on Earth. My friends call it Soylent Beige.
  19. And, you thought Independence Day was just a bad movie that turned out to be a good popcorn movie! It may turn out to be... MUCH MORE! Asteroid 2004 XP-14 is going to pass within moon's distance of Earth probably on July 3rd. It should be visible from North America then. I would not recommend welcoming any visitors with open arms...

    Happy birthday to both! I recommend taking kev's avatar and placing cake and icing, holding a candle each, over both nipples!
  21. I didn't know why, either. Why some apps could make DVD's that played, like how Nero was one of the earliest one that could, and other's didn't. Now I know! And, knowing is half the battle! G.I. JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOE!
