... of a trailer for a comedy, I think it was called Soccer Mummy or some such, but anyway, these type always punch into that I Feel Good song by James Brown when they shock you with the comedic twist.
There are a couple of faqs here that talk about some common problems, and how to fix them if you are willing to open the box and void warrenty.
I have 2 ps2s and I have encountered 2 problems that cause disc read errors.
One is where the disc is not secured tightly by the spinning mechanism, and therefore does not spin at the correct speed. This is easy to diagnose as the loose disc will create a loud buzzing sound. I added some duct-tape to the spinning mechanism, and now it grabs the disc perfectly.
The other is the more common dirty lens, and is much easier to fix.
Not for the faint hearted, you all know how these things are put together, no extra space, or slack on cables/ribbons, and things are almost kept together by tension and by overlapping peices 37 levels deep, heheh.
Wow this got modded up to +5 while there were only 55 replies to the article, that's fast. Either you're popular or there are a lot of pissed off MS fans out there.
It is important that when we wave our flags and cheer when Microsoft is laid low by the latest security flaw that we not close our eyes to the very real vulnerabilities in the Unix/Linux system.
Is there really flag waving and cheering going on? Perhaps joking and laugher. Also Linux vs. Microsoft(leaving Unix out for now) is not comparable to say Rocky vs. Apollo Creed, but David vs. Goliath. Microsoft does not need you to defend them, they have billions of dollars and a monopoly. We do have to stick up for Linux because we are Linux, and there is nothing close to a monopoly or billion dollar bank accounts. Now that I think about it maybe cheering is ok when the bully takes a blow to the chin, it happens in the movie theatres.
As for this year's stolen source code, Slashdot never reported this but it was taken from a Linux computer at MainSoft. Whoa, I was under the impression that development(of the version of the 'stolen' code) was taking place on a Linux box, and the source code was leaked. It seems you are implying that somehow that Linux box was cracked, and the code stolen?
Ensign Jones: *hits communicator* 'Captain, I have received reports that there may be a bug in certain ship software, is Holodeck 1 running?' Captain Picard: 'Why yes, it is running.' Ensign Jones: 'You'd better go catch it!'
Ensign Jones: *hits communicator* 'Guinin, do you have Klingon Prince Garduk in a can?' Guinin: 'Why, yes we do' Ensign Jones: 'You'd better let him out then!'
I was going to challenge the Insightfulness of the parent, but realized if you can pay for all of that stuff and not have a job there must be some insight somewhere.

I had that job, I hated it... seriously Nothing against /.
Hmm, I tried it and got same results as the GP.
I am doing so now, and with a huge font for kicked-back reading. Very speedy too. BTW, I would not have to do this if /.
cooperated with dillo.
