[opensuse-factory] rw cd's liability
I just want to warn others than RW cd's are really not liable. Actually I have some (handfull) of RW cd's I use for several years, now. However I use then quite few, no more than 10 or 20 writing each and now I have writing failures. It's easy to verify this using K3B verify feature, so use this... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Put them under the sun for some hours, the ultraviolet erases them completely - else, you get new mug trays ;-)

I always verify CDs or DVDs I write. I don't trust them. Important things I burn twice. :-/ - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

The unreliability of RW is a long known issue, but this sun trick is new to me :) At this time of year here in Finland it won't work, though, I'll have to wait for the spring. That time I'll put the computers aside anyway as I take my motorcycle out, so there's plenty of time for them to be in the midnight sun :) Would a solarium do? :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org -- Vahis Sometimes I reply to top posters.

And to me too - I have a friend that does some very wild things now and then. I haven't tried it personally, though.

Ah, yes, true... outside temp here is about 22 centigrades now O:-)

Try it as a last resort, anyway, when there is nothing to loose ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
