Forty-Speed CD-RW Shootout
Keefe John writes: "Several months ago, 40x burning became a reality when Plextor got the jump on all of the other optical storage companies with the PX-W4012TA CD-RW. Since then, many companies have been coming out with versions of their own. As with any genre of products, a few stood out above the rest. Namely, the original tried and true Plexwriter; the wallet-friendly Lite-On, and the speed-daemon Teac. Today Techware Labs will be comparing the three drives on their relative merits. Read the full review over at Techware Labs."
frist post!
I could sure use a cluster of these ;-P
Britain is the best country in the world. Yes, we have our faults; however, you won't find a better combination of economic prosperity, freedom and culture anywhere else. This is, quite simply, the best place to live. Just look at our "European" neighbours. Apart from their collapsing economies, they are a lot of offensive pseudo-democracies. In France you even have to name your children from an approved list, for God's sake! In Germany it's against the law to wash your car yourself; you have to go to a car wash. Is Bonn in league with the men who make big whirly brush things? Who knows! In Belgium the police will do nothing to help you unless you are a paedophile serial killer or a corrupt politician (which in Belgium is all of them.) Sweden is so boring that its suicide rate baffles the Japanese, and you can't even afford to drink yourself happy unless your name is Bill Gates. The Irish Republic is great if you're a strict Catholic or an IRA drug dealer, but otherwise to be avoided. Italy and Portugal are one step out of the Third World. Greece is about the same, with the added spice of being periodically governed by corrupt Colonels. Spain's contribution to European democracy was to have been ruled by a Nazi until 1975 and by idiots ever since (although they do dominate the global market in raffia donkeys and plastic "Kiss Me Quick" hats).
It's obvious that the British way of doing things is innately superior to everyone else's. Otherwise, how come the only superpower in the world had economic and legal systems modelled on ours? Let's face it, the Founding Fathers of the USA weren't in any great rush to emulate France, were they? At the time they were allied with France and at war with Britain, and they STILL preferred our way of doing things. And today America is the most powerful nation on Earth and France is a largely peasant economy ruled by a supercillious, but still faintly garlic-scented, class of professional politicians with a massive and unfounded sense of their own superiority.
How can the Brits be the best when thay can't even take care of their teeth? Most Brits have blackish yellow rotting teeth,with breath that smells like dogshit. Even wealthy parasites like the queen and the royal family have disgusting rotten teeth. WHY IS THAT???
One night, after a heavy nights drinking, after getting through the 'I can drink more/faster than you', the 'I can piss further than you', the 'I can belch louder than you', Keefe finally staggered over to his mate Bob and said, 'Screw you Bub, errr, Bob, my website can handle way more hits than yours...'
Bob, missing a great occasion to keep his mouth shut and stagger home to bed, replied, 'Prove it Keith, errrr, Keefe. Dare you to put it on Slashdot..'
And so it went that Keefe, still hazy from the night before, drooling a heady mix of spit, beer and vomit over his keyboard, sent the story to Slashdot, and just moments later, swore he'd stop drinking.
Try NetBSD... safe,straightforward,useful.

What's really ironic is that none of the situations described in those lyrics are actual examples of irony. She is a fucking idiot.
A little too ironic.
