  1. That ranks right up there with the most stupid shit I have ever heard!
    No arguments there MJ. :thumbup:

     

    But this next one is not far of it. (Posted by PM)

     

    The Supreme Court has decided that the Ten Commandments cannot be hung in public school class rooms (no matter the context, even if its a class on religious history!).

     

    Guess what's on the wall of the Supreme Court's chambers?

     

    The Ten Comandments!

  2. Surely it's also a religious thing - does the same school stop pupils wearing turbans or the like......

    That's exactly right LFC, since when wearing a Cross around your neck has become 'offensive', because that's what this about, that bit about banned jewellery is just plain bullshit. :angry:

  3. A MELBOURNE teenager banned from wearing a crucifix to school returned to class today still sporting the necklace, in defiance of school rules.

     

    Jamie Derman, 17, says teachers at Sunbury Downs Secondary College threatened her with suspension if she failed to remove the cross.

     

    Her father Gordon brokered a deal with the school's vice-principal today, enabling Jamie to wear the cross with a letter of permission until a meeting with the principal on Wednesday.

     

    "She is at school and she's wearing the cross, I've got to meet with the principal some time on Wednesday," Mr Derman told Southern Cross Broadcasting.

     

    Jamie says the cross has sentimental value because it replaced a lost baptism gift, and she is refusing to bow to school rules.

     

    "Because I have to cover it up, it's like they're saying to me I have to cover up what I believe in," Jamie told Sky News today.

     

    The college banned the cross under its rules on jewellery and dress.

     

    Mr Derman said the school has always had a dress code, but it was only now being enforced by a new principal.

     

    "I bought her the cross at York Minster basically as a replacement while we were on holidays in England and she's worn it ever since," Mr Derman told Southern Cross Broadcasting.

     

    "When you've got 16, 17, 18 year-olds ? they're not kids they're young women ? and they're not even allowed to wear a piece of jewellery."

     

    Mr Derman said moving schools was not an option and he hoped the matter could be resolved amicably.

     

    "If not, I don't really know which way I've got to go after that, whether I've got to go for discrimination or what."

     

    Principal Brett Moore defended the dress code, saying it had strong backing.

     

    "Ninety-nine-point-nine per cent of the students and parent community are in support," he told Sky News.

     

    Talk about going over the top with bullshit.

  4. Thanks to all who took the trouble to post a reply.

    Finally gave in, in spite of exteme doubts, and bought a pack of Verbatim discs.

    Guess what......perfect burn first time!

     

    Cheers

    There should have been no doubts at all, just about every member said the same thing, well done on taking the advice, unlike some others that keep insisting that it's not a media problem. :thumbup:

  5. calweycn,

    Read carefully and learn, don't just carry on with what *YOU* think is right.

     

    My father use to say, "it is not shameful not to know, but it is great shame not to learn".

     

     

     

    calweycn,

     

    The reason everyone denies these claims is that no burning program has control over the 'quality' of the burn.

     

    There's not some magical setting you can adjust to raise / lower PI/PO error rates.

     

    You take a chunk of data from a file, send it to the drive via the 'Write (10)' command, then repeat the process again until you've sent all the data.

     

    With that in mind, I don't see how using *ANY* program could have a direct impact on burn quality.

  6. When you say it won't boot up from cd, is it bypassing the drive? or are you not hitting the "anykey" in time?

     

    As per chewy's post, get into BIOS and change the boot order so it looks at the cd drive first.

     

    Pending on your machine this could be the DEL key, F1, F2, F10 etc.

     

    One other thing you could try, get a DOS boot up disc, then run chkdsk /r at the command prompt.

  7. Just for the record; I'm a firm believer that the Second Ammendment was put in place to prevent the Federal, State or Local Governments from UNRESONABLY attempting to control the ownership of firearms by PRIVATE citizens in this country...sorry MJ. England dates back damn near to the beginning of civilization, Australia came to be what it is today partly because of what the English used it for, America also became what she is 200+ years ago partly because of England and Europe influences in general. We're not perfect, hell, we're not even in the right a lot of times, but we are what we are...and some of that has to be directly attributal to the fact that there are so many firearms in this country. We have the Constitutional law and the guarantee of a means to protect ourselves and our beliefs. The fact that a minescule minority of illegal gun users make the statistical charts frightening does not give the government, or any other group, the right to ban or overly control ownership.

    I fully agree spinner, it's the generalisation that pisses me right off, I mean fuck, there must thousands of firearm owners in Australia, but because a handfull of idiots decide to do the wrong thing, we all get labelled idiots, or at least put in the same catagory.

     

    I have NEVER conciderd my firearms as a mean of self defence, the thought never enters my head, however, I do enjoy getting the odd rabbit for the pot, and or putting the odd animal out of suffering as was the case a couple of days ago where a kangaroo got caught in one of my fences and broke it's leg.

     

    Most legitimate firearm owners are decent law abiding citizens that have a passion for owning firearms, this could vary from a collecter, to a target shooter to a hunter, so I don't understand why we have to give it up simply because some nutcase went bananas.

  8. I really don't care if the stats are true or false, but as I've allways said before, no LAW will make me give up my firearms that I have held for allmost 35+ years.

     

    In my opinion they are nothing more than a tool, held and used in the right matter should not bother anyone, and by asking people like myself to hand them in for a "safer Australia" is absolute rubbish.

     

    One day one of those people just might be glad that people like myself never handed them in.

     

    It is shear ignorance that scares people.
