Yamaha To Withdraw From CD-R/RW Business

An anonymous reader writes "What's going on. When I first heard this I thought it was a bad joke. They make great burners! 'Tokyo, February 5, 2003 - Yamaha Corp. decided at a board meeting to cease sales of CD-R/RWs for personal computers and to withdraw completely from the business by the end of March 2003.'" Does any other company make burners that can burn an image on the CD?

    Virtually all CD-ROM Burns will take make a CD from a file, as long as you have the right software. All the Burner software under Linux does, so does EasyCD Creator, and Nero under Windows.

  5. My son's bris went well by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I want to thank all you slashdot members who recommended me a mohel in California. This day was the happiest in my son's life as he made the covenent with G*d. The circumcision was a happy time in our family with lots of celebration.

    When the time came to preform the ritual, my son cried because it was slightly cold in the room, but the circumcision was completely painless because my mohel said that circumcision is completely painless for infants because they don't feel pain.

    I would definatly recommend having a warm room because my son doesn't like the cold because he cried for 6 hours afterwards but I *know* he was overjoyed at joining the covenant with G*d. I must say his penis looks much better circumcised then uncircumcised. I'm sure his future wife will thank us for joining this allowing my son to have a brit milah.

    Anyway, I must tend to my son's sore and red genitals for a few days by putting vasaline on it so no adhesions form. I won't have time to post messages to my slashdot friends for a few days.

    I would recommend anyone who has any doubts to definatly have this ritual or proceedure(for gentiles). It reducess the chance of UTIs, cancer of the penis, and STDs such as AIDs. G*d knew what he was talking about.

    Thank you, I'm so happy. BTW here is a link so you can see how easy circumcision is:

  6. Mod Parent UP! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I am glad to see that some people still take their son's health seriously. I'm glad that some people still take the responsiblilty to have their sons circumcised. This proceedure should be mandated by every health department so to cut down on problems with males that can costs thousands in the future like penile cancer for example.

    Babies don't feel any pain AND therefore the proceedure is done without anestesia to control costs and improve safety for the child. Most MDs still are not using pain relief even though the AAP recommends it because it is NOT neccessary do to the fact that neonates CAN'T feel pain.

    The male foreskin is also used as artificial skin for burn victims and for face creams that reduce wrinkles. So this proceedure helps baby boys from getting infections, plus their foreskin is put to good use in skin grafts and facial creams that reduce wrinkles.

    Europeans in the "Old Europe" (As Rumsfeld puts it!) would be wise to introduce mass circumcisions on all newborn males to prevent disease and increase skin tissue for skin drafts for burn victims. Mod me UP as well.

    BTW: NOCIRC members don't reply because you ARE STUPID and are NOT qualified to interpret medical symptoms,
