THe problem you're having is because its an ATI card. ATI don't give a shit about linux and their linux drivers suck. period. Go buy a cheap nvidia card instead.
Assuming you're using a noob-friendly distro like ubuntu, so are already in a windowing environment, you don't need to worry about command lines. Just look around the menus and find the CD Burner app, just like you would with windows. If you don't already have a CD burner software installed, use the software updater to download one for free. You don't even need to know where it comes from on the internet. Before you diss Linux for this, Lets see you get a decent CD burning package installed (legally) under windows as easily and cheaply.
Assuming you're a noob and you're not running a windowing environment, you're probably running a distro thats not suitable for your level of ability or needs. Just install ubuntu instead of whatever you're using. See, unlike windows, there are many different distros of linux which means different types of users can get better tailored solutions. Microsoft just forces everyone to work their way which is a massive compromise that doesn't really work for anyone. So with Linux you need to identify your needs and not overestimate your own abilities to find a distro that suits you. This degree of choice is a real advantage, not a disadvantage, even though people brainwashed by windows will often argue and not understand that.
What kind of moron holds a party during a movie? If someone held a party during a movie I'd paid money to see, then I'd want them dragged away too. That said, this copyright thing is absolute bollocks and getting worse by the day. What theater chain was it? I'd like to send the company an email explaining why I'm never going to give any of their theaters my money again.
I really dont (ever) want to cheer for Microsoft. I mean they jumped right onboard and we're one of the pioneers of the whole "patents as a weapon" thing. Actually I'm pleased they got hit. What goes around comes around.
What was in the employment agreement you signed? If you already signed an employment agreement that says they can demand you to be on-call for nothing then its your own stupid fault.
An employment contract should be an agreement between equals. Think of yourself as being a supplier of services to your company, not a subservient slave. In return for your time you get money. More time = more money. No successful business in the world does anything for free, so why should you?
If you are asked to do anything at all beyond your existing employment contract (i.e. in your own time), then you should first have the option to say yes or no witnout predjudice, and then be appropriately compensated for the extra effort ON YOUR TERMS not theirs.
A lot of tech companies are used to forcing employees into doing extra work in their own time at short notice and for no extra pay, and a lot of employees cave in. Those people are sending the message to companies that its OK to keep screwing us. Immediately the cavers stop being the companies bitch and grow some balls, the companies will treat us all with more repsect.
>> the guy that gets the voice-mail and has to respond in an hour or so, that's pretty much "off-duty."
Wrong.

When will you yanks learn that just throwing guns at a problem always makes it worse not better.
When you bring guns, they just bring bigger guns. And bombs and missiles. Just remember, pirates aren't going to give a crap about the same rules that limit what firepower a legal vessel can carry.
You start firing back, the pirates will just tool up with bigger guns and perhaps with RPGs etc. They will also reduce risk to themselves by shooting first instead of giving the crew a chance to surrender. They could just adopt a strategy of sinking boats first then taking whatever survivors a.k.a hostages are left from the sea.
You're right to care. Because unfortunately labels really do affect the way that most people think about and treat you, especially upper-management types who make key decisions. They generally don't have the first clue about individually what the people below them actually do, and rely on labels to help them make policy decisions affecting groups. i.e. if everyone is called 'IT', a 'downsize the IT department' directive makes "lets do without some PC maintenance guys" indistinguishable from "lets fire our top brains"
Did you even bother reading the thread at all before accusing the wrong people of being pricks?
Go find the original reply and you'll see its actually an American claiming that all English food is bland. Which is a fucking laughable generalisation give the US's own record of crap bland food far exceeds anything native to pretty much anywhere else in the world.
>> prompting us to seperate ourselves from society rather than controlling it.
Interesting. The church I go to (also Christian) thinks separationism from society is exactly the wrong direction, and is part of the current problem of why people mistakenly see Christianity as wierd, alienating and elitist.
Our church tries hard not to protect and isolate ourselves, but to break down divisions and be an active and positive member in our greater community. We feel the way to make God known to others is through example and to let them see his spirit at work by helping them.
>>> The government plans to keep all DNA samples for up to six years, except for terrorism-related investigations, which will be retained forever.
This is true even if the person is found not guilty. All this means is that to get what they want which is records of everyone's DNA forever all they need to do is claim some fake terrorism-related possibility at the time of arrest.
Even for non-terrorism arrests, we only have the government's word that they aren't keeping the records past 6 years. The UK government have frequently proved they routinely lie about stuff like this.
>> I lived in England for two years. When? in word war 2?
>> Skip traditional "English" food, it's bland and tedious
Thats really funny coming from an Yank. I'm a Brit living in US now. There's a lot of things in the US thats better than the UK but food is definately not one of them. Compared to the UK there's absolutely no real variation of choice here when eating out for a reasonable price. Its all the same chains everywhere you go. Endless amounts Chillis, Wendys, Applebees, etc in every direction and they all serve the same bland crap as each other. Macdonalds and burger king and wendys etc etc are all American in origin and are the ultimate in bland. Most Americans espeically in the mid west think anything even slightly spicy is way too hot. They put so much sugar and/or corn syrup in EVERYTHING in the US you can't hardly taste the actual food.
>> Outdated Amiga Guy - I remember when we grew up in a hole in the road and our ol' dad used to come and kill us before breakfast.
You had a WHOLE hole to yourselves AND had breakfast? I hate snobs. Our dad used to wake us up 4 hours before we went to bed just so we could work 28 hour days. Life was hard but we where happy.

The original post is so not-true, and with the mention of Windows 7 I'm guessing the original poster is actually a Microsoft troll.

Anyone other than me also see a blatant contradiction here?
Dammit. They obviously put code in Windows that injects malicious apostrophes just to subvert written attacks against Microsoft.

I've just removed the watercooling system on my PC so the internet weighs 10KG less now.
So its exactly 498,438,559,980kg now.
That still wouldn't help online multiplayer games.
