Slashdot Mirror

Spielberg already directed a World Famous Movie of Pong!

Something like this?

I believe this is appropriate.

In the unlikely event that your ISP block access to all sites except Slashdot (which would explain why you decided to come here instead of to a DVD- or video-oriented site), here's the deal:

DVD-R has the best compatibility, closely followed by DVD+R. The RW formats are far less compatible. Media quality and authoring software also have an influence on compatibility. Best results are achieved with DVDs authored in professional or semi-professional software (ex., DVD Maestro, Reel DVD, DVD Studio Pro, etc.), recorded on brand-name DVD-R media (Maxell is pretty good) at the lowest speed. Also, always create a disc image, or burn with a program that is capable of correctly structuring the title set folders (ex., PrimoDVD). Data burning programs (ex., Nero) will sometimes create discs that do not play on set-top players.

Under these conditions you can expect the disc to play on about 80% of current models (some models dont play recordable discs at all). DVD+R will play on about 75% of players, and the RW formats will play in around 20% of players. For data, DVD+RW is the most versatile format.

Sounds like you have an ego problem. The whole point is that titles are meaningless if you don't have the intelligence to go with them. Intelligence is something that no experience, studying or certification will give you. See here for an illustration.

I argue that most people in IT who pride themselves soley on their titles probably have little substance behind them. Think about it. I have a college degree, certifications and a couple of decades of experience behind me, but you don't see me wanting to brandish my title everywhere. In fact, I try and avoid using it since it really isn't accurate. I learn something new every day, so calling myself a "specialist" or "expert" is a misnomer.

I had my intellect LONG before I had any of the certifications or experience. (Keep in mind that being intelligent doesn't prevent one from misspelling, punctuation errors or using incorrect grammar.) This is what truly counts, and what a lot of "name droppers" seem to completely miss: An idiot is an idiot, even if he has a title, certification or experience that imply otherwise. Conversely an intelligent person is intelligent no matter if he works as a janitor, in a factory or doesn't have a college education.

I've seen plenty of examples of this in my lifetime: A manager at an old job was a total buffoon with no clue about anything, but still got big bucks and a "good reputation" because he was good at shmoozing. On the other hand, a friend who worked at the same company was VERY intelligent. He knew a hell of a lot more about the business than that damned idiot manager did. But, he wasn't the manager of the place because he didn't have a college degree. Eventually he broke off, started his own company and put the other one out of business. The best thing is that the other dork had an MBA, and my friend just barely had a highschool education. It's all about the level of intelligence. NO certification or experience will ever change that.

The real point that most intelligent people realize is that, at the end of the day the title doesn't matter a lick when you need to get the job done. Only the brain does.
