You asked: "Are there any benefits to IDE burners... over the SCSI counterparts?". The real question is "Are there any benefits to SCSI burners over the IDE counterparts?".
The answer is "no". SCSI may be slightly faster, but not enough to be worth the price difference. My cd-r ( a Philips) burned each iso of red hat 8 in about 3 minutes. A SCSI burner may have gotten that down to 2:45. But if that 15 seconds per cd is really that important, because you're burning so many of them, then you need a cd-duplicator, not a burner. IDE speed is so high that you spend more time setting up the burn then you actually spend burning it.
The only place SCSI is marginally useful is in RAID systems on your server, and even there it's only cost effective if you are running a system with thousands of users.
I have cd-r's that are still good after several years. Of course, I store them properly. Don't leave them out in direct light, don't let them get too hot, etc. A cd-r, properly stored, should last decades.
Heck, I've got audio cd-rs that I burned a few years back that are still fine, even though they've spent quite a bit of time in the car.
He could've gotten whooping cough. Or measles. Mumps is not fun either. I've traveled in places where they have these vaccines. When my father was a child these vaccines weren't available even in the USA. He missed six months of school due to various "childhood" diseases that few, if any, slashdotters have seen. Fortunately he didn't suffer any permanent disabilities.
Not software filters. Hardware. Ever seen an 8" floppy drive for a modern PC?
Neither have I. Since WordStar, and other programs, are probably running on TRS-80 level equipment the data will probably have to be migrated by hand...
One of the reasons for replacing typewriters/WordStar/etc is connectivity. With the current system sending a message from one base to another might require using snail mail, or a courier. Modern systems have this thing called 'electronic mail'. I hear it's going to be the Next Big Thing.
Will stay up for more than 5 minutes. People will stop bitching about the slowness of the searches. No one will say "resection, MLP". Rusty will actually be able to earn a living from the place.
Ummm. Y2K was a serious problem. The reason that very few Bad Things happened was that people did something about it. Mainly buying new hardware and software or spending lots of money fixing the old stuff.
Remember the 105 year olds getting the letters telling them it was time to sign up for kindergarten? That was a y2k glitch. On 1 January 2000 I visited the US Naval Observatory's Time Site and was informed that the date was 1 January 19100.
A cousin of mine was pulling a low six figure salary from 97 through 99 fixing COBOL systems. The bamks/hospitals/etc spent quite a bit of money fixing the systems.
Parrot is a new, dynamic programming language, intended to merge the indubitable strengths of the twin Open Source scripting giants, Perl and Python. Stemming from the Open Source conferences, and culminating in the unprecedented meeting of minds at the new ActiveState Technical Advisory Board, Parrot was conceived jointly by Larry Wall, the original creator of Perl, and Guido van Rossum, the inventor of Python. By uniting the unparalleled flexibility of Perl with the simplicity and maintainability of Python, Parrot is destined to become the premier application development language of the twenty-first century.

Ditto on signing the docs. And then I just enabled dhcpd in the appropriate rc script. Works fine.
from the IBM Linux grafitti fiasco in San Francisco.
discretely.
I think. Maybe it is a 3-d doughnut. It's been ten years since I studied that stuff at college.
No one will pay per-month charges for things they already get free over the air. That's why cable and satellite TV are destined to fail.
No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.

Time Benzedrino. Uhhh. Can't remember the rest.
And if I never see Pippin and an Orc doing that to Bill the Pony again it'll be too soon.
my father has a typewriter by his desk at his home office. So he can type up the waybills for FedEx, UPS, etc.

One of these guys?
Some guy over at kurofivehin, I think he calls himself "UndesirableUsername", said that water transport was The Way Of The Future!
And pigs will be seen circling overhead.
Jamming cell phones in a theater/restaurant/library/etc is illegal. Violates FCC regulations.

Well, not quite, but it has the same flavor.
After working in x86 assembly, I really appreciated high level and minimally complex languages like C.
Where does the vegetarian pirana fit in to the algorithm?
Yeah. Right. Let me guess. It's a one time pad, but one where the unused code groups get remapped/reused, which is just another type of one time pad.
*ducks and runs*
Some sort of snake, perhaps...
