Must have been a fluke, as I can't re-create it. Same image, same disc, same drives. Burned the disc in one drive, then, attempted to overwrite it in the same, which succeded. Then, put the disc in the other drive, burned it, succeeded, attempted to burn over the contents, succeded there. Then, swapped the disc back and repeated the first test again with the same results. Oh, well.

$1 will be fine. Unfortunately, due to the rising costs of gas, I will need gas money to go to the bank to get it. Please send $512.32 so I may get half a tank of gas, please.

Yes! YES! Oh, my god! Some sucker finally agreed to it!

If you want, I believe the image file itself is small enough to send.

Something I only just now thought of after encountering it. Can images written to CD-RW be erased before a burn begins like with rewritable DVD's? After trying to burn a single track, bootable data image to CD-RW that had data on it already but was not necessary, I had to cancel at the start because ImgBurn didn't detect enough free sectors on the disc. Which makes sense since the disc was closed and data was on it. But, with rewritable DVD's, ImgBurn asks you if you want to erase a disc that has data on it or not. With CD-RW, it seems that the only option is to stop, manually erase, and then restart the burn. Can CD-RW be made to do like with rewritable DVD discs, or, is it limitation in the hardware/CD-RW design/software that makes it impossible or impractical? Hence why I've added here to suggestions. If it was just an oversite, then, it makes a good suggestion. If it's limited by whatever, then, that can be discussed, too. Thanks!

In a way. My father was the late Minister Of Scams to the almighty, his majesty King Missassah Mfube Ntamya, former queen of Nigeria before hisher ousting in an unlawfully legal coup. Before heshe was forced to leave office, heshe hid away $80 million ($80,000,000) USD up the urethra. All I need is access to a small seed fee to get at hisher small seeds and get the money. I will gladly give you 15% of this total in exchange, in addition to reimbursement of the few minor fees such as airline travel. Afterwards, though, I will find you, beat you up, and take it all back. But, surely, in the name of the poor, the starving, God, and 9-11, you can help me help you help myself, right?

Why don't you just PM me your bank account details? I can make it worth your while... once I get to Nigeria, that is...

I could use it actually, for that goddamn $87 "reconnect" fee for a simple prescription. BTW, that phrase I used actually has a meaning. It was part of a series of 10 phrases used in 1940's radio to test potential announcers to see how well they could speak and be understood.

"Me so corny!"

I'll show you! "Nine apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic, old men on roller skates with a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth!"

We'd better not give corny too much heat or he might snap, crackle, and pop!

You do realize that these corn people came here in UFOrvilles, right...

For anyone who has seen the last season of the Teen Titans animated series, it appears that the close resemblence of The Brain to a Dalek is intended, according to the producers. The fact that he also has a Tenth Planet style Cyberman voice may also play on that, too.

It gets better! I was going over the tape I made from Doctor Who last night and discovered something interesting the Stargate episode which followed. I'm not sure what the setup was, and, I don't really care. It's not like Stargate deserves any TV time at all. Anyway there's a cob of corn contained in a sealed, glass box. The camera gets a close up of it on the desk and then, most bizarrely... it switches over to a special effect I swear was lifted from the opening titles of the new Doctor Who! The Time Vortex effect suddenly appears and the camera travels down it. My guess this is to mean travelling through the Stargate, because, just as suddenly, it switches to an agregate planet sequence of a man pulling a cart. I've taken to calling this Corn Gate: CG-1.

corny should get a kick out of this one! Was watching a TBS rerun of Bosom Buddies, a sitcom featuring early work of Tom Hanks. At one point, after Hanks has revealed he and his friend are actually alien lima bean life forms the other makes the demand of humans, "Take us to your corn people! We wish to make succotash!"

I have to admit, I had never heard of Sapphire And Steel until Big Finish Productions started making their own.

Yes, for some bizarre reason, we got the Doctor Who movie first. Had NBC made its version with Spielberg, I would guess we would have gotten that first, too. Also, on the initial Doctor Who DVD releases, we got things R2 didn't. They've stopped that practice, but, we in R1 do benefit from the R2 releases because the R1's usually have the errors on the R2 releases fixed.

Hey, what is up with these rumors of a revival of The Prisoner? Possibly set to star Christopher Eccleston? "I am not a number! I am a free Doctor!"

Only Season 1, which is still premiering on Friday nights on the Sci-Fi Channel in the US. Tonight is The Empty Child. Also of interest, May 14th is the 10th anniversary of Fox's Doctor Who movie, aka The Enemy Within. Well, I should say, the 10th anniversary of the date it was first aired. The UK saw it 6 days later, I think.

You gave me mine!

Echo... echo...

I've heard the best cure for double posting is one colonoscopy...

I do have one! It's travelling back through time and trying to tell you people about the upcoming Venusians and their grand corn plot!

Actually, no. The doctor told me it would be one fixed price for an office visit to get a new prescription, but, after paying that fixed price, tried to send me another bill later on. Uh, uh. So, I still have a few left.
