Burn the CD on Both Sides

Posted by michael on from the crispy-on-the-outside-with-a-moist-chewy-center dept.

apocal writes "How cool wouldn't it be to be able to burn the label on your cd using the same laser you used to burn the cd in the first place? Well, I guess this technology called LightScribe will be coming soon. 'Suppose you have just created a compilation CD of a dozen or so of your favorite songs. Now you want to make a label that contains the song titles, artists' names, and some personal information and design elements to make it special. First, burn your tracks onto the data side of the disc. Then open your favorite LightScribe-enabled label-making software and go to the CD template work area. Now you do all of your creative design workcompose pictures, copy, artwork whatever. When you are satisfied with what you have done, take the disc out of your drive, flip it over to the label side and put it back in the drive. Now go back to your label-making software, and simply click print.'"

    The reason people are complaining that this sounds like an advertisement is because it is - ripped word for word from TFA. Whilst code re-use is nifty, in print, this is plagiarism, and /. is a serial offender.

    What exactly do the editor's do to earn their crust?

    And it's also a dupe.

    You do realize that new UIDs were still five digit when Slashdot stopped making any effort to not be a captive-audience marketing channel, right?

    I'd bet 50% of the stories on here are submitted one way or another by someone with a vested interest in the submission... and since half of the remainder are dupes, that leaves at best 25% worth of non-advertising interesting news for nerds. (Although if you have a shoddy short term memory like mine, you might not remember the recent dupes!)
