Take a look at the first post on the top of this page.

I got to thinking of a theoretical scenario where I might not be able to restore my system after a catastrophic failure coupled with failure of the restore media. For instance, I keep some last resort before full reinstall from the bottom up of Windows standard CD images on an external hard drive of the monthly image backups I schedule for my system. These images are also burned to rewritable discs each month as a form of backup. But, I was thinking what if, someday, I find I can't restore my system the normal way because even the rewritable CD's were too damaged. The only way to around this is to restore from the factory default restore CD's, install a burner app, burn the discs in Windows, boot out, and restore the newly burned discs. Doubles the time needed for a system restore in the worst case scenario, where time is important. But, with a DOS based burner, I could put it on a bootable CD or on the partition on the external HD and boot from a bootable floppy. Would reduce downtime by half.

I still want to use ImgBurn and will but, I was wondering. Is there a DOS based image file creator and burner for CD disc images?

Title says it all. Ralphie's dad from A Christmas Story, Darren McGavin, who was also cult favorite Kolchak The Night Stalker, died on February 25th. He had been ill for a while after a heart attack or stroke a year or two back.

Sounds like one you'd get in your Inbox from a penis enlargment spammer.

YES! I wondered about that, too!

A leeter? Doesn't that weigh one kilogram?

I think I know what he removed. A full and legally binding confession that he pulled off that multi-million Pound robbery in the UK recently, didn't ya?

Could it be that whatever the link is is a file type you have assigned to ImgBurn? Such as ISO or IMG?

It was on the local news tonight. A local man was burning trash in his lawn. From there, the story gets strange. The news just listed it as the man at some point "lost consciousness and fell into the flames, setting himself ablaze." As strange and even hilarious as this story is, it, unfortunately, ended with the man dying of his burns. As tragic as it is, still, though, I can't help but think this guy deserves a Darwin Award nomination. http://www.wtvw.com/news/default.asp?mode=shownews&id=1862 Spottsville man dies from his injuries by Kelly Quinn Fox 7 has learned that a Spottsville, Kentucky man burned in a fire has died. David Miles was life-flighted to the University of Louisville hospital burn unit Friday. Witnesses say he was burning trash in his backyard when he apparently lost consciousness and fell into the fire - leaving burns over 90% of his body. The blaze burned out of control and caught a building on fire. It took Spottsville fire crews over an hour to contain the blaze. Miles has succumbed to his injuries. Notice "Spottsville man dies from his injuries by Kelly Quinn" Now, of course, the meant the story itself is by Kelly Quinn, local news co-anchor. But, the way it appears, it's like they're saying Kelly Quinn CAUSED the man's injuries.

Yeah, it may be hard to believe, but Victor Willis, the first cop of the Village People, is a violent, dangerous, wanted fugitive, profiled tonight on America's Most Wanted! Anyway, Willis has been in and out of jail since the early 1980's after his career as a solo artist went nowhere. He has a cocaine habit and has stolen for it in the past. In fact, during his interviews for E!'s True Hollywood Story of the Village People, he was interviewed from jail. This time, he failed to show up for a hearing about his most recent drug and unlicensed weapon possession busts. Yes, this dangerously violent and unstable man MUST be caught in the name of national security. He is a master of disguise, able to seemlessly blend in with sailors and police officers. A criminal mastermind of the highest order, he frequents YMCA's as his fronts. He was in the Navy. He was last seen near Fire Island and Sodom and Gammorah. He has been linked to a known Manhattan woman. He fancies himself to be a macho man. Please, if YOU'VE seen this crackpot, do not hesitate to call your local FBI or CIA branch. If they can't get Osama Bin Laden, maybe snagging Victor Willis will be a feather in their cap to distract you away from this oversight. "Hi, uh, that Village People cop guy! I've seen him! I know where he is! I saw him on TV the other night! He was disguised as a cop! He's hiding out at a YMCA!" http://www.amw.com/Fugitives/brief.cfm?id=35412 What do you know? Listed as last updated on my birthday!

Yeah, I killed Don Knotts! Just 2 days ago, I had brought him in up in an e-mail topic on Scooby Doo, because of his two appearances on The All New Scooby Doo Movies. So, naturally, he had to die because I brought him up.

Cheeky!

It should be interesting to see how/if Sci-Fi edits the show. I am particularly looking forward to Dalek, where I believe someone said goddamn. Sci-Fi skirts the issue on Battlestar Galactica by using the term gods damn.

As long as we're being politically incorrect here reminds me of a sketch I came up with off the top of my head the other week. Man goes to see his Japanese urologist about his prostate: "You have a plobrem with youl plostate. It is glowing." "It's glowing? What, I swallowed some barium or something?" "No, no, no. Glowing. It is getting biggel." "Biggle? The British comic strip character?" "No! Biggel! Youl plostate is glowing! Getting biggel!"

Wha? Wherediditgo?

He's been busy lately with his cornography collection.

Commercials for the Sci-Fi Channel reruns of the first season of the new Who have started. So, the network is giving the show some exposure, which is always good news. Starts in just about 3 weeks. So, when does the 2nd Season start?

In my best Brooklyn accent: "Hey, why don't you Feldhanh my Shaunti, eh?! EH?!"

The software might have been told by Windows that I selected the X close button for the entire ImgBurn window, but, I only pressed OK in the Successfully Completed window. Then, took my hands off the mouse and was trying to get up to go do something else only to be surprised by the opened Cancel window. I only noticed it as I got up and saw it had opened as I was standing there, staring quizzically at it.

Well, after meeting with him, he hit me about the head with a whiskey bottle, stole my wallet, and made me swear to secrecy about it! OH, NO!

The funny thing is the last two. The last one requires a user name and password! The other one is just outright rude: FORBIDDEN! But, maybe, gasheating online IS forbidden?

I've put this in Support because it's not a bug that I know of. I've not been able to reproduce it, but, I am posting what happened so that if anyone else encounters it, they can reply. Because, you never know. Strange behavior after a burn. When I clicked OK to the Operation Completed Successfully box, a dialog immediately opened up asking if I really wanted to Cancel. I selected No because I didn't and the box just closed. I've not had it return since that one time, so, my guess is it was just a one time fluke of some kind. The kind I am famous for in these forums.

Of course, King Bush II says he had no idea of this whole deal until after it was started. Two problems here: 1.) he is speaking true, and it shows that the man who claims it is his holy cause to keep America safe from terrorists doesn't even know a goddamn thing that is going on in his own administration 2.) worse, he is lying about it and doesn't give a damn about what really happens as long as some money goes somewhere.

And, finally, a real reason for the wine. Gives new meaning to the concept of eating of the body of your master.
