GOOD GOD! The phrase M_o_n_t_y__P_y_t_h_o_n__s_k_e_t_c_h. without the underscores IS the cause?!

Still can't reply to that one thread with the simple phrase <DELETED PHRASE> Testing it here.

I would wager my English is better than yours! I'm the one who, thanks to idiots raising the curve, scored 130% on my English mid-term in 11th grade.

I tried Back, Refresh, Add Reply, Fast Reply, etc. it always does the same thing. I didn't use anything out of the ordinary, unless M_o_n_t_y__P_y_t_h_o_n__s_k_e_t_c_h. without the underscores, of course, is considered somehow a character combination that's a potential security issue. I tried it just with those 3 words and the period at one point and still got the error. And only on that post.

Receiving intermittent errors trying to reply here: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=3067&st=20 So, I tried a post to Test and a reply to it. Worked damn fine, naturally. So, I tried more tests in the thread. Got ONE time it accepted a test that it won't let me edit or reply to. Maybe someone can tell me what a 403 Forbidden error on accessing /index.php means? Is it just a temporary database error and I should try again later? Or something else. Cleaning out the cache doesn't help.

I just got through a hundred cakestack of Sony's and only had 2 that had to be reburned. That's a 98% success rate. Not bad IMO. As for the RW logo, I do believe, yes, that they chose it to trick just that many more people as they could into picking up their brand and getting the license fee for themselves.

Not in the Royal Navy, I am reliably informed. They're too busy dealing with outbreaks of cannibalism.

A knocking shop?!

Why? Did the other thread go... tits up?

Well, you've come to the right source. I consider myself the world's unofficial expert on Frankenstein. Frankenstein had no assistant in the original novel. He had to do the job on his own for obvious reasons. In Universal's first Frankenstein movie, Frankenstein had a hunched over assistant named Fritz. He even had a cane. Fritz was played by Dwight Frye who would, interestingly enough, return in the sequel, Bride Of Frankenstein, as Dr. Proetorius's assistant. Ygor was a shepherd who the villagers attempted to hang and broke his neck. But, he survived and per the usual customs with hanging, if the victim survives he is "cleared" of his crimes; it is viewed as the will of god. Ygor was played Bela Lugosi and would return in the sequel to Son Of Frankenstein, The Ghost Of Frankenstein. In that film, he manages to trick both the Monster and a surgeon (Played by Lionel Atwill who was in every one of Universal's original Frankenstein cycle except for the first picture.) into putting his brain into the monster's body. So, interestingly enough, Bela Lugosi ends up playing the monster in the sequel, Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man, where Lon Chaney, Jr. who had played the monster in Ghost, appears as Larry Talbot. So, what happened was a case similar to how public conception has equated the name of Frankenstein with his monster. That though the creature never had a name, people call it Frankenstein even though that's the name of its creator. A similar situation has occurred with Igor. Because there was a hunched over assistant in the Frankenstein movie, and Ygor was assisting the son of Frankenstein in the movie of the same name, and Ygor had a hunch deformity, people have equated Fritz with Ygor and both together. Since most people's interpretation of Frankenstein comes from the Universal movies, they have it printed in their memory that Frankenstein had an assistant named Igor. And, in popular culture, the word Igor has come to have that connotation. When you say Igor, you immediately think of someone's hunched over slave, taking orders from a mad scientist.

Ah, but, Igor (Originally Ygor.) had nothing to do with Dracula. Ygor first appeared in Son Of Frankenstein. The closest thing Dracula would have had to Ygor is Renfield.

Ah, okay. You had a good reason. Now, I finally know what it was.

Ah, THAT explains the strange garbled nonsense that occurred in the recording I heard!

What was her name originally in the first broadcast of the radio play?

Oh, I thought it was being said he was a sparrow.

THE Tennant? David?

Of course, the third worst in the universe.

Personally, I think it's a slippery slope. I, for one, can't stand it when anyone smokes. I don't want anyone smoking near me. But, guess what? There's no such thing as a non-smoking area. When someone smokes, everyone is, unless they do it outside. The irony is smokers KNOW it's annoying because they annoy themselves and each other. But, they're hooked and need their fix. So, what they basically say is to Hell with everyone else. As far as second hand smoke goes, it's a gray area, like most things. There is evidence to support that it causes damage just as much as there's not enough evidence to support the opposite claims that it kills you. But, how CAN it be healthy? If we were meant to breathe in smoke, we'd have been created with methane filters. And, it's easy to create tobacco/nicotine dispersion systems. BUT, the bottom line is that would eat into the profits, when it's far easier to just wrap it up in paper derivatives and ignite it. So, personally, I'm all for smoking bans. BUT, legally, how can I really support it? I believe people should have the right to smoke if they want to, but, what about those of us who don't like it? The smokers won't congregate into sealed rooms or outside, and businesses won't install sealed rooms and filter systems because it eats into the profits. The best thing said here, though, was the comment that people SHOULD be smart enough to NOT smoke in front of the kids. As I said, it's nowhere near healthy, so, why do it in that instance?

Actually, I didn't get the joke either from just reading it. But, it was easy to figure out for obvious reasons.

Technically, the microwave principle was discovered when Percy Spencer discovered his melting peanut candy bar was caused by a magnetron. However, he was using it in conjunction with active radar.

The RW logo is the DVD+RW Alliance Logo. It was created entirely as a means to not pay for the DVD Logo license. Of course, if they made a few sheckles by charging to use THEIR logo, so be it. Now, here's ironic thing. Remember the introduction of DVD? It was touted, at first, because they had taken active steps to produce ONE format, to purposefully avoid the Beta VS. VHS war. So, after DVD-R comes out, some groups get together to collude to charge extra for no real reason. Save a pittance but charge even MORE than they save to come out ahead. And, in the end, the few advantages + offers is not worth it in terms of compatibility with players. So, yes, the RW Logo is applied to both DVD+R and DVD+RW discs.

What I find strange about it is it's a government place... yet, they can still smoke in their own offices? It's an unfortunate law of physics brought into play about smoking: regardless of where you smoke, unless it's outside of the building, there is NO non-smoking area.

Believe it or not... I still have EZ Media Creator 7's Creator Classic installed for burning MP3 CD's. Other than that, Nero 7 for some other rudimentary CD functions that ImgBurn doesn't handle. And, ImgBurn. I also have Alcohol for burning multi-track images.
