Yes. This is really Off-topic.
You can not be allowed to do this Sir.
you confuse me... ;-P ;-)

..take care now.. *S*

So I just had 'em set it to DAO mode and it burned all 4 discs without a problem.

Science of Cats National Geographic

On June 4 a black bear wandered into a West Milford, New Jersey, back yard, was confronted by a 15-pound (7-kilogram) tabby cat . . .

and fled up a neighbor's tree. Hissing at the base of the tree, Jack the clawless cat kept the bear at bay for about 15 minutes,

then ran him up another tree after an attempted escape.


Finally, Jack's owner, Donna Dickey, called the cat inside, and the timorous trespasser disappeared back into the woods.


"He doesn't want anybody in his yard," Dickey said of Jack in an interview with the Newark Star Ledger.

This is off topic; what do you people do as hobbies when you're not SETIing or glued to BOINC forums? Do you have any other hobbies, interests, or 'outside basic living' activities? Past and current, here are a few of mine;

Dolls house building,

How did you know this was one of my favorites????!!!!!

Gardening,

I'll get those ground hogs if hell comes to high water. I'm persistent.

Tandem biking

,

My ultimate favorite. I can't get through one day without pedalling around with someone behind me yelling directions in my ear. I've tried all the different ear plugs and helmets. It doesn't help much.

Bee keeping,

Keeping a beehive mounted on the back of the bike keeps me pedalling faster. Sadly, it doesn't seem to get me away from the gal on the back seat. She just keeps yapping, "Faster, you moron! Faster!"

Pond fish,

I have these....untrainable. Certainly not tandem bike trainable. I've given up on them.

Walking,

After the bee sting tandem bike incident this is what I've resorted to. Walking.

Half marathons,

See above

Coin collecting,

Couch cushions are my primary numismatic resource nowadays. Tomorrow it may be yours. Think about it....

My two cats,

My neighbor's cats who are quite cute (not quite as cute as my neighbor) qualify me for this category. I'm too lazy late at nite to get off the couch and kick them. Somehow leaving cans of tuna on the kitchen floor isn't conducive to discouraging them. I'm fixing this practice forthwith. Forthwith!

Camera club,

You'd have one hell of a camera club if you photographed my versions of your hobby endeavors.

@ Scary Capitalist : lol!

After keeping bees for over a year I found out I was allergic to bee stings. The next anaphylactic shock could well be my last. Scary! ;)

Thank you Richard. There are quite a few hours of work in that masterpiece. What we do for the ladies, eh? :)

How's this for OFF TOPIC....Machining a V8 block from a solid block of aluminum...

EDIT...I can't imagine the programming that went into the CNC to do this.....

HAAS CNC . . .

Control - flash media

CNC Control Main

Solutions Applications

The Haas high-speed machining option can process at a speed of up to 1000 blocks per second – that is, one block every one-thousandth of a second
(1 millisecond). In order to maintain smooth, fluid motion, your program should not contain any block of code that takes less than 1 millisecond to execute. For example, if your feedrate is 150 inches per minute, the commanded speed is 2.5 inches per second (150 / 60 = 2.5). If you divide 2.5 in/sec by 1000, you will find that, at 150 ipm, you travel 0.0025" every millisecond. You can determine the 3-dimensional distance traveled (D) in a linear block of code by using the following formula (d = distance moved in that axis)

G-Code Verification
The best tip I can give on 3-D surface machining is to get a G-code verification software package. Every CAM system has toolpath verification built in. The problem with this is that it verifies the CAM operation, but the machine is reading the G-code. Many things can happen in the posting process, especially if you are applying the toolpath filter at the stage described above. Every Applications engineers at Haas Automation, Inc., has Metacut® Utilities on their computer. Metacut is an inexpensive software program that produces a solid model graphical representation of precisely what your programmed part will look like.
