My favorite is Iron Chef Chen Kinichi.

That appears to be the Paramount home video logo... Anyway, have you tried making an image of this disc and burning it to a rewritable DVD for testing? If you get it on both the PC and a standalone, then, there are only 2 possibilities, within reason: 1.) really lousy compression codec/error during processing so that the file itself was created that way 2.) there is a problem with the physical disc, either during the burning process, the dye itself, or the reflectivity of the surface. All of which could be either a dying burner or a bad disc, even in a batch of good ones.

Hey, I kid you not! Pain_Man can back me up. I actually received an error dialog window that said: "Error The operation completed successfully."

I'm no expert, but, as far as I know, Congress never passed any laws, even with the Betamax case. That that was a Supreme Court decision. If it was laws put into the books, then, none of the media companies would have any leverage at all in terms of copying from TV, etc. The DMCA and useless copyright extensions ad infinitum are the only laws I know of that were passed to give the content owners the strong arm they currently have. Which was exactly what they wanted. Something like DMCA passed that was so vague it gave virtual power through fear over everything.

Well, remember, there is a subtle difference between DRM and the remote disabling, which actually was to physically destroy your hardware. Ala with a small explosive charge, apparently. Also, DID the House/Congress even have to okay DRM? Or was it just like so much else of that and just added in their by the respective consortiums to placate someone else?

Well, Jack, since you're so old, treat yourself to a bottle of Jack instead. Down a Daniels and drown your sorrows for another year lost to old age and that race to the grave.

I finally found one that closely mirrors Opera's Sessions enough to be useful. So, that leaves only one major annoyance to get rid of for me to replace Opera with Firefox completely.

Remote disabling of the hardware will never happen. In the US, some crazy guy in the House or Senate, and they're mostly crazy so I realize that doesn't narrow it down tried to introduce legislation to force PC manufacturers to include a hardware and software scheme to allow remote destruction of a PC should it be detected to contain pirated materials of all kinds. Yeah, all it takes is some clever virus to access this and REALLY cause hardware damage across the board, a first for a virus. Thankfully, it was rightfully shot down.

Gives new meaning to the term animal husbandry! :&

Gets worse. Attempts to edit the double post never finish posting. Screw it.

Crap... Firefox posted it twice. First time, it just kept sitting there forever, so, I pressed Add Reply again.

Yes, times have certainly changed. Just 40 years ago, Triffids couldn't be seen on screen without their clothes on.

Well, beats pressing TWO for English. Pressing 1 for English was bad enough, BUT, to have English FOLLOW the Spanish, as it briefly did around here was just annoying!

That sounds more like Dalek doings than Triffids. Daleks have been known to abduct people... but, only for a little while, until the lawyers caught up with them.

I am curious to know if it was the case. Fiend Without A Face sounded right at first, but, the new information does say it is The Day Of The Triffids, instead. I can't REST until I know!

Hey... did we ever figure out WHAT the Hell the film in question at the start of this post was?

Well, after having seen it, I can confirm two Peter Cushing movie style Daleks do appear in Looney Tunes: Back In Action. All of their dialogue is stock sound from Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., though. Robby The Robot, a Triffid, Ro-Man from Robot Monster, the Metaluna Mutant (This Island Earth) and the man from Planet X also show up. Plus, even... one of the fiends without a face! Remember that post? http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtop...nd+without+face

Oh, you already know the drill from me and what I'd copy and paste.

Well, you could knocked me over with a turd... :& Symantec's antivirus application may have a major security flaw in it? Not if Symantec can find it and cover it up, eh? http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/ANT...EMPLATE=DEFAULT http://www.eeye.com/html/research/upcoming/20060524.html

Here's one of two links (Lost the other.) I've found on the story. http://www.courttv.com/news/2006/0524/lewis_ap.html

Who says you'll never use it? Whip it out on dates and scare the life of people! "And, the Chosen One shall have the Chosen Third Nut." Proficey (sic) from the Book Of Testiclese.

Surely, if the ISO is already assigned to be burned by ImgBurn, wouldn't clicking on the ISO in the RAR simply extract the ISO to the TEMPDIR and pass it to ImgBurn for burning?

You obviously didn't see the story about the cat being put on trial? I thought it was for murder but turned out it was just the cat's owner going to trial instead of euthanizing the cat outright. In essence, the cat is going on trial for attacking the neighbors.

I wouldn't call it animus. After all, I wouldn't, say, call for the man's execution, or anything like that. My "problem" with him would be, I suppose, similar to my problem with many in his position: not the man, per se, but those who adulate him and put him up on a pedestal that is far, far too high. Thus, unnecessary. For instance, is it too much to ask for people to not be stupid enough to require a ball player to pop up on the screen and try to instill order amongst the populace? Again, the idea that it seems necessary to almost deify people in order to get others to just behave.
