This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

and the thing is, of late he's actually begun to make more sense. Looks like a relapse back into pointlessness and incoherency - back to the Wolfy we all know!

back to the Wolfy we all know!

But is that a good thing?


@Esq

DVD-ROMs can only read DVDs, not write to them.

I'm not stupid, just ignorant.


SS - Sorry, I misinterpreted your comment about the "-" media (there were no quotation marks, and I was confus-ed). Note: I do not consider you stupid or ignorant, old son.

He's lost it. He's not making sense anymore . Say Wolfy, are you going to explain your comment on religion?

No one has really answered me on this so I'll post it again.

But if I record - (minus) I can play it on my DVD-Rom whereas if I record + (plus), I cannot? It is an older Creative PC-DVD Blaster 16x from about a year ago. Just prior to all the +/- debate. Again I have a separate writer drive, I just don't like wearing out a good device on merely reading information when a less expensive Rom can do it instead.

Is it true + has a faster seek time? How big a difference is it?

So you want me to tell you even more about DVD technology!?!? Haven't you had enough?!? Off the top of my head, "+" has a slightly faster seek time but, in practical terms, it means very little. "-" is the most popular format at this stage, particularly DVD-R. Do you want some links? I posted some a few months ago.
