I'm looking to make a bootable CD, not make a cd with a file of the bootable image on it.
But, try right clicking on an.iso, going for 'send to' then 'CD drive'
It's almost the same procedure for Ubuntu.. It's Right click and "Write to CD" which does write the ISO to the CD. Write to CD is not the same as copy to CD. One makes a bootable CD with lots of files and directories, the other puts one.iso file on a data CD.
I hope nobody has windows (the physical, see-through kind,

Which part? The burning an ISO or malware freebe?

I'll have to re-check my wife's XP machine. I tried to use it to burn a Ubuntu ISO and couldn't find any way to burn an ISO with the provided (by Dell) CD application. I had to hit a shareware site to get an ISO burner. I thought we had SP2 installed, but if it's built in SP2, either I couldn't find it or we don't have SP2.
From a search online I find no refrence to the built in ISO burning application. I did find that it is a toy as an additional downloadable add-in.
Cedega , TransGaming's flagship Linux portability product, allows Windows games to run on Linux seamlessly and transparently, right out of the box. With Cedega installed on your computer running Linux, you can simply insert your favorite Windows game CD, install and then play that game just as you would on a Windows system.
After all, anyone not buying Vista would still buy XP, so what motivates spending $5bn?
Due to the disparity between the OEM copy included on new hardware and the retail price, my older hardware has upgraded to Ubuntu instead. Not everyone not buying Vista would still buy XP. Apple sales has been doing quite well with the Core 2 Duo machines.
The TCO for MS products has become a problem for many with the required number of batteries not included items such as demo photo editor, demo CD writer, Wordpad (nuf said), and the endless AV patches.
The TCO on Ubuntu has been much lower for me. Scanning, full e-mail, office suite, and photo editing is included. Media codecs, Flash 9, and DVD playback are a free download away. AV is generaly not needed yet.
There is lots of history to show consumers that a MS release is a batteries not included distro. You will have to buy something to add some basic functionality such as burning an ISO to a CD or risk a malware freebe with a free program. (free rigntones, animated cursers, weather on the taskbar, video player, audio player, etc.. bundled with adware.)
It is not wrong to threaten a civil suit against an individual to recover a debt. What is prohibited is threatening to bring a civil suit when bringing such a suit would be abuse of process.
It looks like the RIAA is really pushing the defining line between collecting a civil debt (no contract with the accused) and threatening to bring a civil suit. If you do settle, you get to sign away your right of freedom of the press and freedom of speach in the same settlement. In other words, the settlement includes not only a cash settlement and agreement to destroy all copies.. It includes a gag order agreeing against your will that you will only have nice things to say about the RIAA.
I have downloaded > $3000 worth of music, then I win!
You haven't seen the settlement agreement.. You don't get to keep the music. You also don't get to say anything truthfully in your opinion regarding the RIAA. I saw a link to a settlement agreement.
I do wonder if it caries any weight. There is some thing about contracts signed under duress.. Anybody have any information on this? From what I have seen and the size of the pendiing litigation, this is a contract that fully qualifies as signed under duress.
"If one of the parties can prove that the contract was signed under duress, that is the party's signature was extracted by physical or mental coercion, then the contract is null and void.
Duress is defined as coercion of a party to execute a contract against the free will of that party."
I didn't know that they had weblogs back in Edison's time.
They didn't. When the media propoganda consumerism ran unchecked, they could hide some bad publicity by keeping it a back page item in some town and it would contain their spin.
Now with the internet...
If I leave the distracting middle out of the comment.. it reads better..
For the first time the music industry is having to deal with an informed customer (NOT consumer) base whose constituents can, and do, communicate with each other via blogs, emails, IM, chats, text messaging, and so on.
The wax cylinder thing was for emphasis that they haden't had to deal with freely shared public opinion for a very long time. The public opinion was limited to the local editorial in the local newspaper. Long distance was expensive.

And what they're saying is: We have a choice, and we're exercising it.
If the record labels think their persecution of online customers who include schoolchildren and and disabled mothers is going unnoticed offline, they're wrong.
The WSJ doesn't mention the failure of Organized Music (Sony BMG, Vivendi Universal, EMI ands Warner Music) to accept the reality that it's now in the digital 21st century and not the physical 1970s and 80s and that its business models need to be updated accordingly.
OM's members are in addition being found guilty - and very publicly - of one seamy practice after another and if they believe it'll all just go away, they'd better think again."
This is exactly what RIAA wants, to instil a belief that they are evil and they will sue anyone, and they will win, because they are right. That they didn't care when it was granny or a child. PR does the later part of the job.
Is being right worth the cost of the PR problems of being an unreasonable bully? Have they measured the growing movement to boycott anything major label? Have they done anything to respond to claims of being a cartel with fixed high prices?
I hope they have their PR campaign funded as much as their lawyers. Without a good PR campaign to distract the public from the ugly side of business and get the public back to the Ooooh Aaahhh Shiny mood, they will continue to see sales fall.
Some of us are never going back! Any PR campaign is too little too late. We have read hakespeare's plays and are familiar with The Merchant of Venice. We know reasonable and we know what type of people demand a pound of flesh. This attack on a 7 year old girl (now 10) is what is showing their true nature.
The RIAA is no friend of mine. I don't need them. More importantly, I don't want them.
That's OK. It's better to leave it unsettled than to set a bad baseline. It's not going anywhere unless the spammer (watch me get sued for libel) takes up the case in the UK.
So far, the case is a laughingstock of what is wrong with the US courts. Why validate their decision with a buying of the case for $1.
It is better to prove it is out of their jurisdiction by public shame. A better one is watching what lengths the spammer will go to try to collect. I hope he is stupid enough to bring it up in a UK court. That would be the best outcome.
Surprisingly, it's not the cost that is a barrier to entry. Instead, most say they don't see the value of having a net connection at home.
At lower cost the value equasion changes. Most people don't see the value of having a fishing boat and RV at home. It would be nice to have but the cost is the limitation for many people. At $60/month it is difficult for many to justify the cost against the value. If I was single, I would still be on dial-up. With a family, I can justify the cost.
Considering that Orrin Hatch (R-Idiot-Utah) wrote the damn bill.
which was passed by the Clinton Administration.. Orrin Hatch get's the autorship blame. There is a lot of stuff that gets written, but doesn't get passed.
someone buys the judgement against Spamhaus from the recievers for $1, and donates it to Spamhaus.
Um no. That would validate the court rulling. Big time No No NO! It's better to have the ruling reversed to set precidence and jail the e360 solutions personel for purgery and fraud.
Let's all forward our spam to the judge responsible.
Let's not send him all our spam. Just send him the spam from e360 insight that was relayed through a forign bot (against US can-spam law) since he has openly denied in court he is not doing this.
Let the mountain of fraud evidence stack up on the judges desk.
Then net the judge know by snail mail that Spamhaus can help with the problem of unwanted junk mail by deciding on using their advisory list to filter their own mail.
They are quite down on the list because now they are seen as mostly harmless where the RIAA is doubling the lawsuits. If you weren't a SCO target yet, you can pretty much rest at ease. Even a couple of the SCO targets are sitting on the sideline waiting for a final rulling whether SCO has valid ownership on the code. If you aren't an RIAA target yet, you soon may be. They are still dangerous, active and getting worse.
Recording companies get to engage in strong-armed consumer-alienating behavior, but dodge the consequences because the "RIAA" is there to take the flak.

In other words.. not included in SP2.
I now use Ubuntu to burn ISO's.
I just have to point out that all the free things you talk about with Ubuntu, are also available for Windows, thanks to open source.
What I liked about Ubuntu was discovering them installed and working.
Ever hit a freeware site and try to figure out what is a demo, nagware, crippleware, etc. Having a configured machine ready to run is a nice break.
I do, however, require at least one Windows box (currently XP64) for gaming
