  1. The YYYY first format is popular with a lot of websites because a lot of relational databases begin that way. It makes it easier to handle things on a yearly basis and for tax purposes to be able to isolate yearly files.
  2. What exactly is happening in this step? By that, I mean, in particular, what caches are being synched and what are they being synched to? Zero? I believe the text is what is returned by a drive when, basically, the Synch Cache command is issued to a burner, and that that command is for finalizing the last open track on a disc. But, I was wondering what caches are being synched, or is it some kind of generic text that doesn't really mean what it says.

    nec 3500 firmware

    Unfair bastards! Tricked me! There are, strangely, TWO sites with listed firmwares. I had bookmarked this one: http://www.de.nec.de/softwareoverview2.php/id/557 and have been using it for a year or so as an alternate site to check for updated firmware for the 3500. Then, they go and actually use THIS for the new firmware: http://www.de.nec.de/softwareoverview2.php/id/1333 WHY can't anyone use consistency?!
  4. LUK, I found this site http://www.majorgeeks.com/download1667.html Is that what you were talking about? Also, if I can't trust the Intel site, where should I be looking for the updates? Where do you look? Also, should I be looking somewhere else other than Intel's site for any new BIOS versions? The last one I found was back in June. Thanks!

    RPC1.org?

    Has RPC1.org been redesigned/partially down for the last day? The search doesn't work because there only seems to be the forums up over there now.
  6. Don't feel too bad. Confuses the Hell out of our thinking even as Americans, too!
  7. I thought of DVDReMake, too. But, I thought its splitting ability wasn't very precise, though. That it was more of a guess based on where you placed the cursor. I also though you could do a split but you'd have to remember that the number of chapters would "double" while the number of Chapters on the menu would remain static. Something the user would have to remember/know ahead of time/keep in mind/figure out.
  8. It is a good question. I don't know if anyone else other than US and its territories employs that style or not.
  9. I would have thought by now I'd have made my allegience quite clear. I am a firm supporter of the Doctor Octopus for King Of The World campaign. I do support eight legs, but, not of the arachnoid kind: the cephalopod kind!
  10. One of these days, I need to give PGCEdit a throw around and see what it's all about.
  11. Without creating new video streams with new chapter points in them, which would mean creating or recreating the menus to accomodate them, I don't know of another way to do it. It might be possible to use IFOEdit to go in and change the Chapter markers, but, I'm not very familiar with IFOEdit. I would think the Chapter information has to be somewhere in the IFO's, because they control how the player deals with the combined audio/video stream, since it's a single unit.
  12. Yes. It is. And, it's wrong. For once, I do think the American way works better. For instance, for Days 1 through 28, all the months have those values, so, the month to come first makes more sense in ordinal precedence. Plus, since all the values for the months also appear in the set for all values for the days, it can easily be confused to have to think back and forth between countries. So, best to choose the system that is better. And, for the reasons I have stated, I believe the MM/DD/YY system (Actually, I prefer the YYYY system, having been one of those programmers who actually thought of the problem that would be called Y2K myself back in 1992. I personally adopted 4 digit years. )
  13. http://cbs4.com/watercooler/watercooler_story_053092249.html Feb 22, 2006 9:19 am US/Eastern Spider-Man Robs Comic Book Store Peter Parker Again Sought For Questioning By Police (CBS) LOS ANGELES With great power comes great responsibility... unless greed overcomes one's better spider-senses. A robber wearing a Spider-Man mask was caught on surveillance video Tuesday stealing a set of rare comics from a store in Culver City, Calif. Among the issues stolen were Fantastic Four #1, X-Men #1, and the comic in which Spidey first appeared, Amazing Fantasy #15, valued at around $2,500 an issue. The man walked into the shop around 11:30 a.m., but store employees thought nothing of a customer dressed in partial costume, reports KCBS-TV's Suzie Suh. "He's wearing a Spider-Man mask, he must like super-heroes," said Alan Gardner of Dream World Comic Books. While browsing the store, the man took out a hammer a smashed a glass display case housing some of the store's more expensive items. The villain grabbed several comics and fled on foot. Store owners said they have store surveillance videos showing the same customer coming into the store on Sunday. Police are reviewing both sets of videotapes. Check the link for actual video!

    LIGHTNING_UK!

    You've gotta know what's coming next! In the words of the CHOSEN ONE, Binky The : Happy birthday! Happy birthday! Whoopty doo! Whoopty doo! May it be pleasant! OPEN UP YOUR PRESENT! Just for you! Just for you!
  15. Depending on where you live and/or how where you live records the current date format, something that won't happen for 100 more years will occur. If your area lists the month first and then the day in its short form for listing dates, at 01:02:03, the date and time will read 01:02:03 04/05/06! Now, NOT just that, but, notice these attributes of the number series: the first three sets add up to the last number in the set (01+02+03=06) the first three sets when multiplied together also equal the last number in the set (01*02*03=06) the first 5 values added together equal the same value when you add the last three together! (01+02+03+04+05=15=04+05+06) This means something!
  16. No, I haven't done my Day 2 checks since I'm still tracking down the latest fucker error in my system. The Beeb's sites for old and new Who are part of my Day 2 list of sites, and, I'd probably find it then.
  17. I thought it had just recently been released on DVD. By recently, I meant in R1. Just over a year ago here. Those maggots were the Trashigs if memory serves me correctly?
  18. Unless they're Neuticles. http://www.neuticles.com/index1.html
  19. Wasn't that when Jon Pertwee took on the giant, green maggots?
  20. Robot Chicken, the story goes, gets it name from a menu item at the restaurant where it's creators, one of them being actor Seth Green, conceived of the show. If you're familiar with Twisted Toyfare Theater from Wizard magazine, it's the same premise, creators, and writers, but, they've animated the toys. It's a 15 minute really short sketch comedy series.
  21. Yes... just back away... a little bit further... where I planted the mines... yeah, right there... just like that...
  22. Don't know if the UK has gotten Robot Chicken on any network, but, the Season 2 premiere episode featured a nod to Doctor Who with a kid in school giving a demonstration of what TARDIS stands for. He had a toy police box and generic Tom Baker type doll as props. Unfortunately, the sketch ends with someone stepping in, pointing, and shouting "NERD!" I would had ended it with an addendum where one of those Denys Fisher Cybermen dolls comes in and snaps that idiot's neck! Or just tears his heart out.
  23. And, to think, a simple lead cylinder will last longer than a CMC disc!
  24. You won't. ImgBurn does not support multi-track images yet. Hence, CD-Audio images are not supported.
  25. Don't know, but, I would think that if it did run, it would not have any of your user defined settings, since there would be a different Registry on the system you're inserting the pen drive into. Plus, I don't know if ImgBurn writes a default Registry entry if it runs and one isn't present. I would think LUK took care of that but, I don't know.
