Re: CD-RW disks
from Collins: I've been using the CD writer drive that came with my HP pc for a couple of years to write CD-R disks with no problems. It's a TEAC unit [...] Now I'm trying to use the few CD-RW disks (TDK 4x to 10x capable) which came with the computer, and I'm getting errors. 'cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 [...] Does anyone have a clue? Wy back when I was trying to use cr-rw because at that time there was a buck to be saved, I had disk failures often enough that I never came to think of the process as something I could rely on. I did a bit of literature review, tho none of my own direct research. The consensus of what I found was that the phase change of the alloy used in the rewriteable blanks wasn't entirely reliable or stable. You can imagine the pleasure which might result from spontaneous phase reversion.:-) The synthesis was to the effect that one should use rewriteables only for data that they wanted to lose and that the game of trying to protect against that inevitable data loss wasn't worth the candle. I never did find a credible contrary opinion. R -- http://www.quen.net Fix reason firmly in her seat and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion.

Re: HELP!! Partition table issue
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Actually, my main reason for not liking CD-R's is the amount of data I'm working with. Sometimes I get 500-600mb wave files, and I end up using an inordinate number of CDR's on a single recording project. Once I get them When (not often) I have something I care about and I don't trust the hdds, I master the raw file (the program I use will split a file on the rare occasion it's that humungous), and/or at various mileposts, then at the worst I have some work to do over. edited up they're smaller, but I don't always get the chance to do that. It's looking like tape drive, or what about DVD burners? 4.7GB seems like a good size, and I wouldn't mind making movies in the future ;-) Media only come in one size (too small:) and dvd blanks were too expensive last I looked, some time ago. But, eventually...sigh; The drives are getting cheaper quickly, tho, but the format wars aren't over yet.

Re: SxS Distro?
from Andrew Mathews: points to consider and/or include such as Skippy's current efforts. I *do* think it's worthy of more discussion and analysis and would like to hear more opinions. I'm genuinely curious how what has been discussed here so far would differ significantly from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org and the alfs and blfs offshoots. Anyway, the feature I need most is a genuine idiot proof (it'd have to be good because I'd be using it myself:) way of knowing in detail what mods occur when I install/change something and reverting with certainty to the previous state. For the latter, I've done partition cloning/reversion also for some considerable time. It's a good way of climbing out of the pit but often doesn't help me much figuring out how I got that far under a pile of something that deep that smells _that_ bad. And it only works if I revert the same partition that I changed, fancy that. R -- http://www.quen.net Fix reason firmly in her seat and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion.

Re: OT: Feds want to drop protection of privacy regarding medical data
from David A. Bandel: It can be argued that your medical records aren't yours at all. That those papers are the property of the physician, not you. If you write Strikes me that this spotlights the crux of the matter. That crux is not that it might be debateable whether or on what basis the records are the property of the physician or to the patient but that they do NOT belong to the Office of the President. Yet, incredibly, it is that Office which is taking unto itself the right to make the final determination as to the propriety of the use/disposition of that property.

Re: open source tax software
from Joel Hammer: If you really need Turbo Tax, use it. I will, of course, use anything that meets my needs (some conditions apply:), including tt. Would you trust some noname tax software? Actually, I would, and do, trust open-source anything in preference to proprietary closed source crap (even good crap) especially with an intuit license (imho, one of the worst anywhere, including even m$ in some instances). Quick Tax, frx, (which looks in fact to run on top of internet exploder - I'm trying to get this sludge off my system, not add more), requires 'activation' and contains, among other terms which I find grossly offensive, a term to the effect that intuit gathers 'information about your computer during the activation process'. They're, afaict, very non-specific about just what info that is. It also depends to a degree on whether one wants the program to do one's taxes or to help one do one's own taxes. ymmv Use win4lin if you must. Sure, good advice, and I appreciate, but for now anyway when it suits my needs to use a windoze app, I'll use it in windoze. I do mine with staroffice. Also good advice, I did mine with excel one year. I do have open office 638 (running well under windows, allowed me to trash word and excel and maybe more) and I've been looking kinda sideways at that. The sheets would, in theory, run on both windows and linux. R -- Don't steal.
