  1. Have you tried using TweakUI's icon repair thing? Also, try going into Internet Explorer and deleting the disk cache.
  2. So, they replaced her with one willing to press her bumps against a Dalek?
  3. Apparently, even worse in England: a merchant banker.
  4. He's right. The 64 is for 64K of RAM. Had a whopping 1.02 mHz processor, too. (NTSC) For $599 upon release, you got a whopping 64K of RAM in a "machine." Actually, I had the C128, so, it had 128K RAM.
  5. Well, I say berserk only because it was so unrelated to anything he'd ever done before and his advanced age made me think he might have lost his mind. It was almost as big a 180 as when Pat Boone went punk. As for the music video and song, I forget what it was. Was definitely in the 2000's. And, it may not have been jewels but there was a video with Cash pouring out a goblet of wine near the end over his life's successes or something like that. Sounded like a Reznor song, a bit self indulgent, biting the hand that feeds it, etc. Cash was old in it because he resembled more... well, there's no other way to say it, he looked more like Pope John Paul II. Okay, found the video here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2...dfeed&hl=en It is Hurt and about 2:56 in he starts pouring out a goblet of wine over what I believe is supposedly to represent his worldly goods and how they will amount to nothing at the end of his life. When I saw this the first time years ago, I just thought he had lost it in his old age. Now, I think it was more losing it from a fear of his own mortality.
  6. And a whopping 32 bits, too! Man... I can remember working on things like the TRS-80 and those Texas Instruments and Commodore 64 ones that connected to the RF on the TV.
  7. Oh, is that when Cash went berserk and started covering Nine Inch Nails songs and making weird music videos where he's pouring out goblets of wine over large piles of jewels? It's the only explanation I have of that odd Cash piece that plays over the opening credits of the remake of Dawn Of The Dead.
  8. Spencer's Gifts catalog used to offer that for a long time.
  9. OMG! THAT REALLY WAS HIS BRAIN! I saw that lump in the first picture, and thought that was what it was... but, eventually just convinced myself that was a colored pipe...
  10. Remember the words of MST3K: keep circulating the tapes. When I saw the Village People perform in 2001, I... accidentally... had a microcassette recorder in my shirt pocket... that had been in my briefcase... and somehow made it's way to my pocket... and got turned on just before start... From there, it was just a simple matter of connecting a 1/8's male double ended cable into the earphone out for the recorder and then to the sound card mic in and make a CD. So, again, that leads me to think this initial question was just one of someone making a digital copy from an analog source. Now, the funny thing is... they never questioned why someone was bringing in a briefcase into a Village People concert?
  11. I don't know if it's something that should be considered, but, I've noticed one case that made me wonder if some check should be included for it. When folders of the same name from different sources are placed into a image, say, C:\WINDOWS and D:\WINDOWS, where both C:\WINDOWS and D:\WINDOWS contained different file names. C:\WINDOWS is added first, so, D:\WINDOWS contents are ignored because the folder names are the same. As in the past, this may be that great a consideration because the image building is supposed to be quick and dirty, e.g. not a facing GUI driven Nero clone, as I think was the terms once used. But, I thought I'd mention it in context of this post.
  12. Yeah, I'd have to say the recordings he made may be digital, but, the SOURCE was still analog. An old trick from the early days of, pretty much, all digital formats that have ever been. It's still digital, even if the source is just a real time, etc. conversion. Like how "letterboxing" may really just be framed borders placed over the video, etc.
  13. Yeah, as for Memorex, I wouldn't give them the chance to restore their name just to take it away again after they know the ruse worked. Let Memorex try to be an example to the other manufacturers out there... IF people were well informed and, well, could really do that much to stop it, I suppose.

    If you composite in an image of a mouse doing something here, I'm off! :&
  15. Everyone, it may not be my place to say it, but, I want to. I was the one who started this. In private exchanges to Pain. I spoke out of turn for reasons he knows well enough now and understands. I think. I just wanted to say I (Don't think I did.) did not mention any names, just a generality over things that I shouldn't have brought up, in context. I've been pressed pretty hard for a long time, too long, and, I'll leave it at that. And, I took it out on some people for some things that didn't deserve it. For that and for it coming out here, and for my taking the box, so to speak, to come clean, again, so to speak, I'm sorry. To all parties involved.
  16. I still think it depends on the region of origin. It seems that R1 RITEKG05's, though not the best, are nowhere near as problems as the R2 RITEKG05's seem to be. I've only had 5 or less that were problematic a year later, readable, but, required different drives to read different parts, and rebuild the image.
  17. I wish there was a similar buy back program offered by/for CMC!
  18. Combined with the Randomizer and the Dodecahedron, that makes for a powerful combination!
  19. Navy Lark? That was just Pertwee's negative reactions from reversing the polarity of the neutron flow of the Mind Probe.
  20. I thought all fairies were considered evil in Britain. Well, up until 1966, wasn't it?
  21. Christopher Eccleston appears to have signed on to appear in the series Heroes. He may end up playing the serial killer. Another reason to like Heroes... even if it shameless rips off J. Michael Straczynski's Rising Stars comic book.
  22. So... does this image depict the first Idiot's Lantern in Doctor Who? There's just something about the "look" on that Cyberman's face, coupled with a lantern on top of his head...
  23. Now, there are some random/rare cases of drives versus the disc you're using where the drive didn't properly quick erase a disc and those drives need to fully erase the disc at least once. This is usually fixed with later firmware that better supports the write strategy the disc uses. Unfortunately, the only way you're going to find out is by actually doing it and encountering it. In general, though, you're best off just leaving it on the Quick Erase ImgBurn will do before the burn. Then, if you encounter a burn that repeated fails or a verify that fails, try the Full Erase and see. e.g. Ritek 6x DVD-RW and 8x DVD+RW current write strategies don't seem to be tolerated well when burned by the current firmware in the NEC 4570. It will burn them properly the first time and then require Full Erases most of the time to reuse them.
