  1. Re:burning images onto normal cdrs on New HP Drive Lets You Burn Your Own Label · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do, that 1's look different than 0's. Its only the difference between written parts (consisting of 0's *and* 1's) and unwritten parts (*nothing* on the disk, not even 0's and 1's. Only unmarked dye).

    What you're trying to do was already done with Yamahas Disc T@2(spoken: "Tattoo"). The story even has a link to an article about this technology.

    So if you want to get sued by Yamaha for patent infringement, go ahead and write your Disc-Labeling Program. *grin*

  2. Re:I'll believe it when... on Fusion In Sonoluminescence (Again)? · · Score: 1

    Maybe he meant "dyeing"? That must be it.

  3. Lucas Arts' Utilities on Funny and Irrelevant Program Names? · · Score: 1

    These are not mine, but the guys at Lucas Arts had the habit of naming their utilities after gross body fluids. The best known being S.C.U.M.M. Sript Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion.
    Others were something like SPUTUM or PHLEGM, but I don't remember exactly what they were used for. One time, they even used a word, someone thought to be a body fluid, but after looking it up, they were so grossed out, they changed the name (if I remember correctly it was the description for very smelly poo a newborn does right after birth or something like that).
