Forty-Speed CD-RW Shootout

Posted by timothy on from the sir-do-you-know-how-fast-you-were-going dept.

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.

    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.

      Why are your teeth blacker than the niggers you let in? Why does your breath smell like dogshit? In fact, why are your niggers better than you?
