ddrescue to image the CD. mount the image. copy off files (bad sectors will all be 0). unzip and see what you got. if its a small amount i'd bet you would have something usable if not eperfect.

So I've recovered a lot of damaged DVDs and I think in my research it showed that DVDs also do ECC across larger than the 2048 data blocks (maybe 16 of them?) So when I used ddrescue, I would read in that block size (instead of just 20

I'm responding to "being a mouthpiece of Hamas" that you reject. This is one case out of many where she parroted their line completely without any critical thinking. Hence, why I think its a fair statement. With all that sa

I proposed something else. This occupancy tax is paid by the legal person who has the right to reside in the unit. Either the legal renter (and this would require leases be recorded) or if there is no renter, the entity that is legally al

one can combine the above issue with the force recording of leases to require every unit to pay a "residence" tax that if not recorded as being occupied by someone other than the owner is assumed (even if owner has other place of

I think all leases (or at least rent stabalized ones) are recorded in NYS (I remember being able to get the recorded rent history of my apartment which included the names of all the previous renters), so it is possible for this to occur.

yes, it's bad to bomb hospitals, but before you go all gotcha, war is bad in general, that doesn't mean war is always wrong or evil and what occurs in war is always evil or wrong. If the enemy is using a hospital as cover to fire

yes, I was using Linux back then too :). Linux could do it in 1997 as well. I seem to recall (but we are talking 30 years ago so memory might be faulty) of Debian having a 1 disk install for its first release of 1.1 (and pre-releases of 0

this is fundamentally false. The LGPL was created because of static linking where GPLd code would be in the distributed binary. It's an open question (the FSF has their opinion, but it has never been adjudicated) if the GPL impacts dy

that's not really true. In 2001 I built a single disk linux installation (with a handful of popular nics supported) with X (tiny X with vesafb support) and rdesktop + vnc as a thin client on floppy. I'd be honest and say that qnx

could be more complicated than this. the easiest thing (to me) would be to midufy the License() function so that it sets the Limits "correctly", as these type of things can be in multiple places.

glancing through the code, it doesn't seem like it be that hard to remove limitations such as this. PostHistoryLimit/postHistoryLimit interpreted from License Limits. a little poke here and there and I'd guess the limitatio

a year+ lockup seems insane. 90-180 days would be normal and was still trading above ipo price (not opening price) 180 days after ipo as i documented above. with that said perhaps directors have a different form of lockup, can't say I
