Time to Purchase a DVD-R?
Evanrude asks: "With DVD writers having significantly come down in price over the past year more companies are coming out with their version of the DVD-R. My company has a large file archive of documents and data that don't necessarily need to be stored on read/write media, but need to be kept online. I want to accomplish this with online DVD storage but is this the right way to go? Who has the best value with the most features of all the DVD-R's on the market? What are some things to look for and things to avoid when purchasing a DVD-R? Is it even time to purchase one, or should I wait another six months?"
Well at least they had enough sense to abandon the totally moronic system.
Lets see,
12 inches = foot
Oh, but 3 feet = yard.
Mile, oh, that's 5280 feet, or 1760 yards, or 63360 inches.
So, lets see,
1cm = 10 mm
1m = 100cm = 1000mm
1km = 1000m = 100000cm etc...
Which seems more simple?
(Even more whacky, was the GB monetary system. Pounds, schillings, pence, etc! Sheesh!)
So, the only brain dead country still using a totally limp measurement system, is the good old US of A, who didn't even invent such a stupid system. Perhaps we should also start believeing in a flat earth too! (Gah, as an American, we can be such stupid fools - english measurements, electing GWB and his Jack-booted cronies etc!)
