  By obsolete, does that mean public release / up for grabs?  I need tostockpile some stuff....

wth are the asterisks? 

Asterisks are the *****. I like that name, Asterisks. This keyboard doesn't like the shift key so yeah (I use CapsLock).

We'll probably use the Gigas from R1...
And its names will come from Tolkien's works(unless Giorgio or Davidefind something else).

We were talking about the pre-R1 Gigas, which is a stretched Sath mesh with guns placed everywhere.

And Ive heard horror stories about modern DVD's lasting no more than 5 years, even if they're burned once, read a few times, put in a dark drawer or box, and later fired up again to find that they won't read worth a darn. That, and some discs in extreme humidity conditions might actually split, if they're dual layer.  I've had one commercial DVD do that to me, and it's hella easy to do it to a DVD-DL.  Just be a dumbass like me and drop it on it's edge.  It was like cracking an egg, split right in two!

Another reason to release all those old ships, Woo.

Well, we could use this one as well, if we can have her...  (Mobius, you'll tell me somewhere else that thing about the names...)
The problem still remains the fact that 1 gigas=huge problems, 1 gigas+another gigas (or her sister)=apocalypse...=what can do a fighter against her???

I've already released the old stuff.

I've heard other horror stories about burned CD's and DVD's splitting, warping, or otherwise deforming.  I used to have a magazine article on what causes discs to deteriorate faster than normal, excepting the common causes.  One of the more unusual ones was a case where a CD had warped because it had been written on with a Sharpie marker.  Apparently the ink in those babies is corrosive/acidic and will seep into the disk causing the parts to separate -- even if it is a single layer CD.  Kind of a big problem when a lot of people I know use Sharpies to label their discs.

In support for Woo's not labelling his CDs.



More on topic, where on Fileplanet? The search engine there really only returns new stuff (World of Warcraft, etc.). Any pointers, links, Woo?

[Woomeister]

I'll have to look for the links another time. I don't keep links to 5 year old rubbish.

[Snail]

Understandable.
