  1. Mornin' polo;...hmmmmm... I'll have to check mine out when I get home this afternoon. I think I still have a few -r's lying around somewhere.
  2. Sorta makes the whole erase thingy happen really fast then......
  3. I'm sure that makes jasp feel at ease.......
  4. Your burner does not recognize your media...regardless of how many successful burns you have made on it... Get some Verbatim DataLifePlus or Taito Yuden's. Newest firmware at RPC1.org is YS0Z
  5. ERRRRRMMM...don't think your drive likes that bargain bin stuff mate....
  6. dontasciime; The best I could find is the fact that IBM tried to make 2.88 a standard and it bombed. Their site no longer offers them for sale so I would imagine you'll need a legacy retailer and you'll pay out the wazoo for the discs. I did find a retailer, who also had a broken link to the discs here in the States, but they were advertised at $76.00 American for 3 discs...musta been a 1985 pricing thing.... How did you come by a 2.88 drive? Picking through the boneyard?
  7. Well, so much for 'Don't ask...don't tell' then isn't it lfc???
  8. AWWWW Kev, you just had to go and rile him up didn't you????? Now he'll be back with all those jokes and quips and stuff!!!
  9. Prof; Welcome to the Forum. Do you think you could post a copy of the logfile? Since I loaned my crystal ball out to the local nomadic gypsy tribe I have great difficulty trying to figure out what you did. Also, we can't help with Shrink, that's not what we're about. However you can find them online through the use of another magical program called GOOGLE... However, if you point ImgBurn at the files and use the build mode, you should get a satisfactory result...if you did your other processes correctly.
  10. I don't believe so....
  11. Ernst... What was there about my reply to BelowSky that you did not understand??? We do not discuss ripping or ripping methods on this site, there are plenty of other places to find out the what/where/how of it.
  12. If you ave straightened out your DMA and firmware problems you still have a crap media issue snarebear... It's only seen as 2.4X media so 2.7 is faster than than the drive sees it.

    Google

    A software prototype that Google is developing will allow the company to listen in on the ?ambient sound emitted from a TV,? in order to simultaneously send tailored information and advertising to your computer. The new technology will gather background sounds, like those coming from shows on the TV, through a PC?s built-in microphone. The software breaks the audio sample into five second snippets, creating a digital fingerprint. The fingerprint is matched to a similar one in a database, and then shows online content related to what it found. The personalized software could include advertising, search results, or a chat room on the subject. Two research scientists on Google?s Research Blog explained the benefits of the software, saying, ?The system could keep up with users while they channel surf, presenting them with a real-time forum about a live political debate one minute and an ad-hoc chat room for a sporting event in the next.? In a recent Technology Review article, Google?s director of research, Peter Norvig, said that the software will eventually show up in Google products. According to Google?s Research Blog, company researchers presented a paper detailing the software prototype at the Euro Interactive Television Conference (ITC), which took place in Athens this past June. Due to issues of privacy invasion, it seems that civil liberties activists could have strong arguments against putting this technology into practice. However, according to researchers, the fingerprinting technology in the prototype makes it impossible for the company to eavesdrop on other sounds in the room, such as personal conversations; the only personal information revealed, Google says, is TV-watching preferences. "Some people did get the impression that we had an open microphone that was going to listen in on them. Clearly, that was not what we were doing. We are transmitting a key that can be matched but not reversed.? Norvig said, in the same Technology Review article. According to their paper on the subject, which was presented at the Euro ITC, Google researchers contend that their goal is, ?to combine the best of both worlds: integrating the relaxing and effortless experience of mass-media content with the interactive and personalized potential of the Web, providing mass personalization.?
  15. I agree Grain, I thought they were produced in 'batches' or "production runs" for quality control purposes and then are packaged for the differing markets. It would be of no value to the manufacturer to produce one type for single, five, ten, twenty-five, fifty and hundred disc cakes or wraps. The logistics would quickly become unmanageable with the labor costs skyrocketing out of control as the production lines were changed to meet separate demands.
  16. Just finished watching the Christmas and New Earth episodes, Tennant looks like he'll make a good Doctor, just take a little getting used to.
  17. So he's Scotts then????
