Happy Birthday G as for the beer on keyboard I saw one at CompUSA thats totally encased and you can roll it up sounds like the perfect present its waterproof

My club DropZone is only up the road for there at Hinton, around 18 months ago we had a trainee doing their AFF level 1. He opened his canopy at 5k and proceeded to visually locate the DZ, what he locked onto and then headed toward was RAF Croughton about 5/6 miles away as the crow flies. By all accounts he lined up and executed a perfect landing on the main runway only to be met by wailing sirens and fully armed, weapons drawn MP's. He was stripped of his rig, spread eagled on the tarmac and handcuffed at gunpoint, then duly led away and questioned by the Military Police. 3 hours later when they were satisfied that he wasn't a threat to security was he allowed to contact the DZ, the CCI who was one step ahead of the off target lander dispatched a vehicle with the jumpers instructor on board to the base to help smooth things over. Needless to say he got back safely and still holds the club record for the longest off target landing and is still known affectionally as " Captain America " within the parachuting fraternity....... he's lucky he didn't land on an antenna out by the reciever site ,I spent two great years there getting loaded in Banbury ,well everywhere I guess and lived in a really old converted tavern in Long Crendon near Oxford still remember the address 21 High Street it was aptly named the local was only a few doors down

and very eloquently I might add

and help with buttons ,snaps and zippers ,handcuffs and such

like someone didn't have a buzz on when Dr Who was written

must be some good stuff ,puff puff pass

Leave it on Automatic and let shrink take care of it ,if the file is too big shrink will compress it , if it will fit then shrink won't have to do anything and will encode it .When you hit backup there will be a Select Target box and a drop down menu. you can select ISO to hard drive ,after shrink encodes/compresses, open the drive where its stored (shrink will give you a heads up where its stored ) then open IMGburn and find the ISO under Source (please select a file) and burn it For media I only reccommend Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim quick Guide for Shrink Open files, select folder (dvd name) click on +sign Video TS folder opens click ok Shrink analyzes the File (a couple of minutes ) main window opens ,click reauthor ,drag and drop Main movie from left to right and then click backup ,SELECT BACKUP TARGET look at the little arrow on the right click on it and select ISO Image file click OK and Shrink creates an ISO . Like its been said its illegal to break the copyright on DVD's whether you own them or not, this is what led to the demise of DVDD but the above guide will work to do home movies, clips also after the proper proccessing

the discs you are using are about the biggest POS there is we see so many posts with people using CMC MAG dye and its no wonder they have issues .While you can burn them with another machine is irrelevant its this comp you need to worry about ,CMC discs shelf time is very poor and they become unreadable very quickly.The drive doesn't like that disc which is strange considering that they are both sold under Memorex .Get some other discs Office Max has Verbatim 16x discs on sale for $15/50 I think the sale is still going on Not to knock your drive but its not on the top 10 list of good drives most here are using Pioneers ,Nec's,Benq,Lite On's ,Sony .Its a search for the right media for the drive and most here use Taiyo Yuden ,Verbatim and even Ritek but they are not what they used to be

I think it was 1919-1920 that women got the vote the Indians were 4 yrs later ,it was all put to rest by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 when the Voting Rights Act was passed that put an end to the individual states impliminting qualifications barring people from being able to vote.

hell I think it was 1924 before AMERICAN Indians got the vote and they were here first,and still in some states they were denied the vote New Mexico denied them that right untill 1962 ,if ever a group of people was fucked over by the government it was them ,sent to reservations where the land was so poor you couldn't grow weeds much less food

:happybday Happy Bithday C may it be the best one yet but the wife can't know

AHHHHH...now THERE was a group...I have all their 8 trax..... too bad they had intermarital troubles I was stationed at RAF Croughton when they won the Euro Vision Song contest . Do they still have The Old Gray Whistle Test some great music on that show I never missed it 2 thumbs up

I've lost half of mine. Lucky I still have half left. Although, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. surely you're not calling yourself a half wit

Good News being in South Florida its definetly a different country here

PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109 1.58 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD-R DL I'd say the first thing would be to ditch the DVD-R Dual Layer discs and get some Verbatim+R Dual Layers they're the only discs that work for sure

very true Shamus its an AMD800 and it would need to be flashed but I'm not buying one. I have enough HD space in my puter for my needs 160 gigs in 2 drives .The post was just some info for members in case they might want to expand, $50 for a 200 gig drive is a steal .My other puter is a 2.2AMD with a couple of 120Gig Sata drives that is sitting on my living room table waiting to be finished ,braided lines, dual PS,re-routing of all the wiring to hide most of it for a real clean look ,all I need is time which is in short supply right now and an OS .The 800 has been flawless since I built it only crash was when I installed some memory that I thought was Micron and turned out to be fake when I pointed it out to the vendor I got my money back ,he knew what he was selling ,counterfit crap

Glad to hear all went well RicohJpn has a good rep, dont know where you live but if its in the US Office Max is running a sale on Verbatim 16x +R and -R great price $15 for 50 I'll pick up 100 maybe 200 , boils down to .33cents apiece can't beat it

I have an NEC3500 that burns both perfectly the 3500 is considered by some the best at burning -R media never had anything fail to verify with them and all still play fine check out my first post again for a deal on maxtor HD's

what errors ,what media, a log of the failed attempt would help

lol, there is something to look forward to. a real buzz kill

Office Max has a great deal on Verbatim blanks a choice of + or - 16X for $14.99 for a spindle of 50 Looking through the adverts in the Sunday papers I also found at Office Depot Maxtor hard drives 200 gig on sale for $50 after rebates a great deal also

A bit of both I think bill. most are in survival mode just trying to get by and feed families pay bills etc and dont have time for the crap that politicians throw their way ,some are of the mind that it doesn't matter who gets elected you're going to get screwed anyway so whats the use .The Govt. counts on that, here in the US only 65% of all eligible voters vote and then some candidate gets elected with say 55% of that vote so its not like its the voice of the majority that gets him/her elected .Then they're called world leaders ,I wondered if any of them has taken a good look at the state of the worlds affairs at all, this kind of leadership we can all do without

I'm starting to get access violation at such an such address in kernel 32.dll when I try to use the que function in IMGburn any ideas ?

oops

he's off conquering galaxies at the moment but will be back in that second he spoke of earlier ,now I know why he picked up the extra second he thought we wouldn't realize he's missing because we are all following standard time ,going to have to keep a closed eye on him
