When Spun Really Fast, CDs Explode
Anonymous Coward writes: "Ever wonder why cd-rom/cd-rw drives are not getting any faster? Wonder why they heat up? This page has a rather amusing experiment where they put various CD's into something that can spin up to 30,000RPM and found that most cd's explode at just around 28,000RPM. Oh and they seem to like using Corel CD-ROM discs for their experiment." Update: Yep, it's a dupe...

Most prostitutes don't allow you to kiss....err..or so I've been told.
Yep, that's right. I spun my sister around when she was teeny weeny, and I ended up wearing the contents of her tummy. I apologize for not recording the RPM it took to do that.
Do you really think if you just have your way with someone as soon as you get her clothes off and then fall asleep immediatly afterwards your going to be hearing about "i wanted you to kiss me"? ;)
it's funny though that i have posted 333 comments and your the first one to point that out... maybe computer nerds ARE desensitized by nuke nukem...

I wonder if you can get more Karma by plagiarizing the highest scored posts from the previous story...
The obvious, although impractical solution, is to find out why people want to destroy a bloody plane they are currently flying sending everyone on board to a fiery death.
Yes, I know the answer is 'Terrorists hate Americans', but why? If we are doing something to piss them off then stop it.
Or we could just sedate all passengers before the trip. This would save $ (no more flight attendants, no more little peanuts)
Also, anyone know why they bother with oxygen masks and seats that may be used a floatation devices? My understanding was that when a plane went down the death ratio was most likely very high.
Yes, I know the answer is 'Terrorists hate Americans', but why?
Because we are the near-monopsony buyer of oil, the Middle East's chief export.
Because the majority of us don't practice Islam.
Because we defend the State of Israel.
It makes the terrorists want to use CD shrapnel to hijack an airplane.
Will I retire or break 10K?
Oh great. Now CD players will be banned from planes.
I doubt it. The RIAA has enough dough to buy Dubya, just like the tobacco industry did...
