    She doesn't play games on her Win32 laptop as it is now. Of course the fact that she hates using it might be part of the problem.

    Here's a hint, we (telcom designers) don't put them up in the air for your benefit, they're much better protected in conduit, underground.

    They actually had a "could be fallout 3" project in the works but it got scrapped right before everyone got shitcanned.

    Hopefully these guys will get finished one day soon. Till then I'm having fun on Icewind Dale 2.

    Unless I'm totally missing the point, Thunderbird 0.4 already does this. Seriously, click the little "speech bubble" besides the Message Attachment icon in the main email window. It puts your emails into the appropriate threads.

  10. Re:DirectCD actually used? on Company Claims Patent on CD Writing · · Score: 1

    You know, you may be right, I know Nero's InCD doesn't have that ability.

    However, if that is the case, Roxio's either taken the capability away or it's a hardware limitation. I have an *old* (for 2x & 4x highspeed drives) gold Memorex 74Min CD-R that was made with DirectCD. The burner was a circa `97/98 HP.

  11. Re:DirectCD actually used? on Company Claims Patent on CD Writing · · Score: 1

    The 12x was for CD-R not CD-RW (4x), sorry. I was using Padus DiskJuggler, and it took just as long to erase a non-DirectCD formated CD-RW as it did a DirectCD formated CD-RW. YMMV.

  12. Re:Creatively Selective Enforcement on Company Claims Patent on CD Writing · · Score: 1

    Nero's InCd works rather well, but if you aren't using CD-RW media, why even use packet writing?

    Jaysyn

  13. Re:DirectCD actually used? on Company Claims Patent on CD Writing · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter, they both work fundamentally the same way with the exception of the CD-RW media actually being able to be erased.

    i.e. if I format a CD-R for DirectCD I can use it exactly like you would a CD-RW including erasing objects in the file structure. The only difference is when you erase something from a CD-R you don't get the space back. The TOC is updated & the erased object is no longer in the new TOC, but it is still physically on the disk. Feel free to pick this apart if my example is incorrect.

  14. Re:DirectCD actually used? on Company Claims Patent on CD Writing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well if you use CD-RWs a lot, like I do, then it's a pain in the ass to reformat (45 min in my 12x burner) a CD-RW everytime you want to use it again. With packet writing software you can just erase the CD-RW or quickformat it (2 Minutes in my 12x).
