    ... for anyone who thinks that its hard to memorize a word that uses symbols nto letters ...

    Actually letters ARE symbols. And we use these symbols to write down words and sounds.
    It's not that letters as we know them (the alphabet) are the one and only correct way write down a word or sound.

    I'd rather shut down all applications, turn off my screensaver*, and watch the progress meter and wait.
    * - yes, these are the recommendations that came with a 2004 Toshiba laptop regarding making CD's.


    The reason why you're supposed to turn off your screensaver is because the initial launch of your screensaver may involve disk access (having to load the screensaver drawing code and various settings). Disk access during a CD burn usually results in the data buffer being emptied a bit which may result in an empty buffer which is fatal.

  4. Don't use IE on Microsoft Advises to Type in URLs Rather than Click · · Score: 0

    That wouldn't really help anything. Crackers will always exploit weaknesses in the programs that used the most. If mozilla were be the most popular browser then it would have the most exploits.
