  1. Re:Those levy values aren't quite right on Canadian Copyright Board Quadruples Levies on Blank Media · · Score: 1

    It's actually over 100% of most CD-Rs available. That sign must have been mistaken, since you can buy CD-Rs for less than 77 cents each. I've seen spindles of 100 for less than $50. Are you sure you didn't get CD-R and CD-RW reversed?

    See here for a price reference. "Blank CDR Spindle 100 - OEM 80 Minute 12X (NA) $49.75"

    I was not even aware that smoke could pass through matter!'

    I think they mean that the matter is like smoke to these particles, not that the particles themselves are like smoke.

    I think as long as you spell it right, it really doesn't matter how you pronounce it. Based on several recent posts, I'm going to start pronouncing it "Zig".

    Actually, if you listen to Linus saying Linux, it almost sounds like lee-nooks. So there ;-)

    Exactly, that's why there can be Infinity the luxury car company, and Infinity the speaker company...

    magazine (mg-zn, mg-zn) n.

    A periodical containing a collection of articles, stories, pictures, or other features.

    periodical (pr-d-kl) adj.

    1. Periodic.

    2. a. Published at regular intervals of more than one day.
    2. b. Of or relating to a publication issued at such intervals.

    So, yes, they're both magazines. One is a print magazine, the other is an online magazine. 60 Minutes is a television magazine. They're all the same basic thing, just packaged differently.

  7. Re:-- No subject -- on DIY Railgun Projects · · Score: 1

    These are definitely not designed to be hand-held. I think they would be more useful as a replacement for the big guns on battleships. They don't have a Mr. Fusion, but they do have a Mr. Fission to power it.

    Exploded, didn't explode, whatever. Either way, it was a badda big boom. Fire, smoke, bits of orbiter strewn about. Close enough for me.

    Uh... Postal, Hitman, Carmageddon, need I go on?

    Nah, could mean they have two hands with 10 fingers each, two smaller hands with four fingers each, plus one more appendage, uh, use your imagination...
