It happens in Europe as well. I live in the Czech Republic, and this story would be about my dsl provider. Forget that ADSL here is slow, unreliable and expensive($55 for 512/128), which is mostly because of our monopolistic telecom. Anyway, my connection didn't work the day it was installed, so I called tech support. After a minute or so of music the support guy finally answered in...Slovakian! Not even Czech with an accent. Of course, the languages are quite similar, but understanding them is just as hard, or probably even harder then an Indian guy. After calling them a few more times(the problem wasn't solved), it turned out that all of them were Slovak. What I don't yet know is if their support center is located in Slovakia, or here.
from the 50-page pdf: Physical mishandling of the disc is usually the cause of polycarbonate* layer damage. The polycarbonate may also flex or bend if stored for a long period of time in a nonvertical position. and Long-term horizontal storage, particularly in a heated environment, can cause the disc to become permanently bowed. While the data may still be intact, the disc may not operate properly in the drive or permit the laser to follow the track.
*3.1 Polycarbonate (Plastic) Substrate Layer The polycarbonate substrate makes up most of the disc, including the area that is read by the laser (opposite the label side on CDs). It is present on both sides of a DVD, even a "single-sided" disc with a label on one side. This substrate provides the disc depth necessary to maintain laser focus on the metal and data layers. It also gives the disc enough strength to remain flat. Anything in or on the polycarbonate layer that interferes with the ability of the laser to focus on the data layer will result in the misreading of data. Accordingly, fingerprints, smudges, or scratches, as well as such substances as dirt, dust, solvents, and excessive moisture (which polycarbonate will absorb), can interfere with the ability of the laser to read the data. Contact of any foreign material with the polycarbonate substrate layer should be avoided.
It still works for me, but just in case, some text and the list:

>included a new clippy bmp in that ?!?! :)
no, but this patch probably involves some kernel changes which make it sobig.
Altavista didn't have any portal crap, all they had was an email service. Web and image search and then a few tabs for audio, news and such.

>PS3 Release Not Until 2006
Why 2006, will it run Longhorn?
And I'd rather pay $100 more for a 30GB Creative Zen.
Well at least those tags don't run linux, that would add $699!
