  1. I have CD's that are 10 years old on Burned CDs Last 5 years Max -- Use Tape? · · Score: 1

    They were burned at 2x via an iomagic 2x burner that cost 300 at the time. However I do have CD's with no names that are much younger and haven't lasted. They also just happen to be audio CD's. Any idea on DVD+r's? I'm just getting into burning the family vids on them how long can I expect them to last. I'm planning on keeping ISO images on an offline drive for backup.

  2. Got in quick........ on 365 Nights of Skywatching · · Score: 2, Informative

    Was downloading at 100k now down to 25 and plummeting. Thanks to /. I should have this in time for 2007.

    How about the fact that even 500 years from now the craft wouldn't make any significant progress to even be near Klingon space?

  4. These things don't work on MasterCard To Distribute RFID Credit Cards · · Score: 1
    I have had one of these things for a few months. It was completely futile, no matter how much I waved my card I couldn't get amazon, dell or buy.com to accept the transaction.

  5. Eternal Darkness on Nintendo Patents Insanity · · Score: 1
    Is a nintendo title, and one of my favorite games of all time. It actually is the last game I finished. It's worth the admission for buying a GC alone IMO.

  6. Are we being fooled? on Drug Reverses Effects of Sleep Deprivation · · Score: 1
    Is CX717 the scientific name for coffee?

  7. I'm so disappointed. on HighDef Content to Require New Monitors · · Score: 2, Funny
    I really wanted to see the matrix once again in super HD, and get an even better look at Morpeus's pockmarks. Here's to dropping 3K on a new monitor so I can!

  8. One of you smart guys invent on Beginning Of the End For PC Noise · · Score: 1
    A small noise cancellation thingy that you can stick into the computer case and plug into a normal PC power plug such as a HD plug. I'd buy it!

  10. Re:a great disturbance on AOL Kills Usenet Access · · Score: 1

    I'm more hopeful that the nospam groups will get it back together again. You know for my friends that like to use those groups.

  13. Whoopee doo. on Pioneer Ultraviolet Laser Promises 500GB Discs · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Any excerpts from any links telling if I run a system restore point before SP2 will I be able to go back?

  16. Re:Be smart about bad customers. on Best Buy Says Customers Not Always Right · · Score: 1

    Did you ever consider being honest with customers and having in writing exactly how much bandwidth they would get for the price?

    Probably not, so then you whine about customers that go over an unknown limit being whatever you desire.

  17. Re:Always right....? on Best Buy Says Customers Not Always Right · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You're not a very well educated consumer. At that point you walk out of the store and purchase your playstation 2 elsewhere. Or did you not know that it's available in about a thousand other places

    Best Buy may not think the customer is always right, but you as a customer always has the last say.

  18. I only just bought my IPOD and had to RMA it on Use an iPod Mini to Broadcast Pirate Radio · · Score: 2, Funny

    It should be illegal for you to drive in your car without a CD player.

  22. Re:I HATE emulators on Play Classic Video Games In NY, At Home · · Score: 1
    I have no mod points to help drag this down. This is about as insightful as George Bush attacking Iraq.

    I for one enjoy immensley the fact of just playing the games on my PC. The emulation is more than close enough, especially with MAME. I also can play ALL my old 80's favorites, not just 3 or 4 taking up a whole room in my house.

  23. Re:No complaints now, but... on Cell-Phone Wars · · Score: 1
    Modded to 5? The people chattering in the movie theater are most likely not calling 911.
