KB rather does not like how this year is starting out...

Don't get me wrong--I've had some good times, and my parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary, and I'm stoked we have a new president. (A little concerned that there's this sudden influx on publicly broadcast prayer, tho

There's prayer at every inauguration.

The inauguration/prayer debacle

[venerable_sage]

Yeah, but this one was a little over the top, just reducio ad absurdum. Did you see the compilation montage that the daily show had with all the prayers? They had everyone there from the pope to rick warren, and they honestly shouldn't have had those two on the same podium. In fact, they should have given rick warren the hook , strapped him in a gurney, and hauled him off to a far-gone asylum for evangelists (such a thing should exist, and it shouldn't be liberty university or regent). Can you tell that I'm an atheist? But honestly, with respect to Christianity, as I do have respect for it (although I could never understand its teleological existence), with all those prayers....it's like Jon Stewart said, "Has it ever occurred to you guys that God will eventually get annoyed?"

Sorry, this is just coming from the perspective of a secular thinker. I have nothing against religion, it's just that when it becomes drawn out and iterant, it tends to lose the fabric of its structure. And that tends to daunt me....
And besides, rick warren is freaky....

Hey KB

I know nothing about cars, but it sounds similar to a problem I had with my old car, only it'd shake and turn off as soon as I'd turn the ignition. And the problem with it was the fuel pump. The whole thing needed to be replaced, and it cost like $800 and probably made me cry a little. Not trying to freak you out or anything. For alls I know, it could be a gajillion other things. I didn't get the all-knowing car genes that three of my siblings seem to have.

Very helpful tips.

Hello.
Thanks for your reply Nephilim:my burner is a sony dvd+&-RW DRU 500Afirmware was 1.02f but I upgraded it today to the latest 2.01amedia is verbatim DVD+R 1x-4x the burn speed I dont really know. I use Nero 6.0 and just upgraded that last night to 6.6 the Nero is set to max. I think this drive is not designed to nurn over 2x but the new firmware is supposed to allow it to burn at 4x. Maybe thats what the problem was. I was thinking it was the compression on larger files. Thank you so much for your reply :)
