Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Dec 23, 2001 6:00pm PSTI've been searching the net tirelessly to try and find the answer to this. ISDN vs IDSL. Do they ping the same or does one generally ping better than the other? From what I can recall the first hop on an ISDN line is about 20-40ms. Anyone have experience with IDSL? How are the first couple hops? For tons of fun had the power go out for several hours today. That was kinda a bummer. Went out for Chinese food though so that always makes a person happy.
- Apparently 25% of all net users have looked up religion stuff. - Not happy with Verizon DSL? You arent alone. - Microsoft is attacking the Lindows guys. Duh. - NASA is planethunting again. - The government says we've got a shortage of IT workers. - Feds probe hollywood internet movie ventures. Wha?Lastly, cool gadgets for 2002!

but at least
it will have
the back-up
from
the dessert.

Had a LG 12x burner. Upgraded to 16x.
Nero 5.3 does not burn correctly. It will fill the buffer and then burn the buffer (5%) and then crash to the point where I need to restart the system to get the coaster out.
CDR-Win 4.0 claims there is no writer on the SCSI/IDE bus. When I click ok to that message and check the installed Recorders in CDR-Win it shows up as a 16x burner. Wierd.
So I installed Fireburner 2.0. This works fine at 16x and burns perfect.
My thoughts are that the previously installed programs have grabbed data from the registry hardware settings and incorporated it into it's registry listing. I have not cleared out the registry but I'm leaning towards that.
Has anyone seen this or had any experiencing this? I have already filled it with sand.
