Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I just opened my first season Dark Angel dvds to play them for the first time, and my dvd player says Nuh-uh. It's a Samsung Progressive Scan DVD V4600, and we've not had any trouble with it before. We cleaned it with one of those laser-cleaning discs and tried it again, with no luck. The player still readily plays all the dvds we've been playing on it all along. It's just the new DA discs. The screen says "loading" forever. Once in a while it will give a "disc cannot be played. check disc" message. Same deal with all the discs in the set.

The player was a little balky on Disc 5 of the new SPN dvds, but it did play it.

The discs are all from Deep Discount DVD, so supposedly not ripoffs. It's been suggested that new encoding on the discs may be causing the problem. Any ideas on what's causing the problem, and more to the point, how to fix it? Do I need to exchange the discs and hope another set will play? Am I going to have to buy a new player for the new encoding on all new discs?

A quiz that NoiseDesign and Kristin can take together:

Is the logo for hair care or digital audio?

So is it a bad thing that I got them all right on the first try?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hmm... ND must work with a lot of haircare products....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

He does have nice hair.
