Nope, there are, at least, two.

There is one thing to keep in mind, folks. In American Idol, people can, and do, vote numerous times for the same person. The American President isn't picked that way. In fact, he's not picked by the people. But, in some cases, people can, and have voted multiple times like... no, no, that would just be a cheap shot.

It should stay years off, probably. Who wants fiber optic cable inserted into cows, anyway? What's the best having an Internet connected cow can offer? "PING! YOU'VE GOT MILK!"

Are you sure that wasn't a commercial for a recent Hugh Grant movie?

There are supposedly 6x and 8x rewritables out now, though, I've not seen any in stores here, but, that doesn't surprise me. In fact, in stores, you have to make sure to check the speeds on the boxes. Because, the stores still have 2x stock they want to get rid of.

As for what I would recommend, well, just don't get any CMC. Other than that, what I've found that works well for me because I can get it easily here in town as the ones from Office Depot, which are Riteks with their badge on them. However, picky players like the Playstation 2 have had some random skipping problems on playback, but, the kind that are truly random. Meaning, you can rewind back over the brief pause and resume play and not get it again. Unfortunately, there's no real recommendation to make. You have to just find what works for the hardware you have. One of the real problems, IMO, with writable DVD's of any kind. Despite there being a book standard, very few hardware manufactures and some disc manufacturers just choose to ignore them and slap anything together. On the DVD+RW side, though I normally prefer - to + in general across the board, I've found Maxell and HP DVD+RW discs played without problems in all the test hardware I currently have.

Oh, like how Sakai-san, apparently, thinks anything can be made into ice cream?

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!
