Just one quick bitch ...

(...) I totally havve this netgeek stufff, but i'm assigned to Product Process due to other aptitudes I have not hidden well enough. (...)

Ah, so it's not the right job (?). If so, I sympathize.

Well, yeah. that's why I put this here, instead of the "something good" thread. This is good and I don't want to jinx it (in the way that you might if you checked a horse's teeth too closely, after it was given to you) but it's not what I wanted - it's not what I have worked so hard towards - it's not where my interest lies - it's going to make me drink (kidding).

Glad someone understands.

I was challenged in what I was studying, but this type of job is old hat, to me.

[Pyraxis]

Yeh, here's to you getting in as a techie as I get into games as an artist.

[renaeden]

Glad someone understands.

Sorry that I didn't.
You get more money and that is a bonus while you wait for the job you want.

Thank you.

renaeden is wise.

[Pyraxis]

Do you mean me? What prejudice are you looking at?

Fucking X.org keeps causing problems for my graphics driver.

WTF!?!

I found a CD that Exact Audio Copy can not rip for some reason.

!




It's from the "Vienna Master Series" 

Inscripted as follows:


Vienna Master Series

GEMA

Made by PILZ CD, Germany 1988.

CD #160231, Franz Schubert, Streichquartet d-Moll op.posth  "Der Tod und das Mädchen"




(It also states in the margin, "keine Ausleihe."  - web xlator result = "no check out" -  WTF!)


Windows Media Player will not even recognize it as a disk.
Winamp can rip it directly to MP3, supposedly, but it only finds the time breaks and the resulting tracks are blank when you try to play them.
EAC produces an error dialog box, simply stating: "Error creating file." with one option to click, "OK."
ISO-Buster shows nothing but audio tracks.

BTW, it plays normally on two of my DVD players, all three of my standard CD players and even the kids' boomboxes.

Some kind of copy protection, from the sound of it.

If the disc has some sort of copy protection, even though it sounds like it doesn't, perhaps something like AnyDVD would help as it also removes any possible copy protection as far as I know.
