It's better to use DVD+R as a data disc than DVD-R :mrgreen: . Most of the time, when I burn avi files using DVD-R as a data disc, the data verification fails :grumble: . That never happened to me when using DVD+R. But I find no problem on both formats when I make a DVD-Video :bonk: .

For me it is the opposite. I find +rs a very inconsistent media. :pout:

Hmm......guess it depends on the burner :sweat: . Even though it says that it is compatible for reading and writing both formats, still it's either the + or the - that will be more effective, not both. Well, at least that's in my case :mrgreen: .

Just read that Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku, who commanded the Japanese attaack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, attended Harvard University for three years (1919-1921)...

Fascinating. :)

I love Wikipedia. :mrgreen:

There are two states in the US that have not recorded temperatures above 100 degrees.












Answer: Alaska and Hawaii.
Alaska reached 100 in June 1915 (Fort Yukon)
Hawaii reached 100 in 1931 (Pahala)

I guessed right about Alaska, but I never thought Hawaii was the 2nd one. :confused:

Me neither. I think the tradewinds and occasional showers help keep temps lower. But the humidity sure makes it feel warmer than 100.

Yep. That must be it.

I guess they have constant temperatures like the places near the equator. Still weird, since they are sitting on a few volcanoes. :headscratch:
