When you're at Microcenter, be sure to pick up a retail copy of the hot new OS BeOS. Also, pick up a book with printed linux documentation in case you have a problem with your one computer and don't have any way to go on the internet to check the FAQs.

Raluek posted:My recollection is that +r didn’t close the session, so you could add more data later. Can’t erase data like a -rw, but it’s not one-and-done like a -r it's both. +r had that packet writing stuff that camcorders and such used, and it also had the ability to bitset to dvd-rom. hence the better option if your burner supported bitsetting.

I'm tired of all these johnny-come-lately commodore "programmers". my atari 1200XL is more capable and has a much better software library.

god the father is incomparable, and it is simple blasphemy to suggest that his son, who took on human flesh, could be consubstantial with him. prepare the stake, brethren.

SO DEMANDING posted:went to microcenter today and they still have a massive shelf of burnable media, even these mini DVDs i guess for camcorders?? i haven't looked lately, but a couple of years ago the burnable media shelf in micro center still had a lone hddvd-r disc for the one hddvd-r drive that ever existed (iirc it was only available in some toshiba laptop) gonna have to hang up the modem now so i can burn a $5 cd at 1x speed with the ol' scsi burner while praying that it doesn't randomly fail

This is wrong thinking. NNTP is an internet protocol and yEnc should play by the rules of internet protocols. It does not and that's why it is bad. You can't break building codes to build your house and justify it because you saved a few bucks. "Hey...it seems to not collapse" "it hasn't caught on fire yet!" In particular, there is no yenc RFC and yenc does not use MIME which is the agreed upon standard for encoding binary attachments. Yes, uuencode is a gross grandfathered format, but it is still 7 bit clean. Releasing problematic improperly specified encodings that break internet protocols is not being a good citizen. "it works" is a poor justification. it does not work, and breaks compliant software.

Breaking user programs simply isn't acceptable. We know that people use old binaries for years and years, and that making a new release doesn't mean that you can just throw that out. You can trust us.

SSDs are bad because if they fail (and they will!) your data can not be recovered. this is why a good, dependable 7200rpm rotational disk is the best option in this, the year of our lord, 2020

SCSI burners could do DMA and command queuing while IDE controllers were pretty dumb and needed constant babysitting. if the cpu was busy with something else they could miss a deadline and your disc was coastered.

SCSI burners meant the likelyhood of a bad disk because windows defrag started was 10% instead of 75% also dual-cpu desktops are the future, you can get a 440bx board with two slot 1 sockets for future upgrading for only 50-100 dollars more than a single one. why anybody would settle for a single CPU desktop- especially considering Windows NT 5 and Mac OS 10 will both have SMP support- is beyond me. I hear the G4 is going to get a dual cpu update next summer too

sure, clock-for-clock athlons may beat pentium 4’s now, but this is intel’s first run at their new architecture. how’s amd gonna compete in a few years when we’ve got 6GHz pentium 6’s and they’re still hocking their knockoff pentium 3’s?
