Samsung SH-S202J is a great new burner from Samsung. It is quiet, fast, and the tray operates smoothly. It works seamlessly with K3B in Linux, burning 4.2GB of data in 6 minutes including session closing.
The first one of these I bought came DOA, but I just let NewEgg know about it, and they shipped me a new working one for free. Brilliant! I highly recommend you pick one up if you’re in the market.
Media Tested
One of the reasons I bought a new burner was the 200 discs I currently have that my old burner is incompatible with. I know now that at least 100 of those will work, since I sampled from a previosly non-working stack for the results above.
- Maxell 16x DVD-R
- Sony 16x DVD-R

Within ten minutes of posting that Ron Paul had 18% of the vote, Cherry Creek news removed all references to Ron Paul from its article. Also, it appears that their results for McCain went from 19% to 11% somehow. This is proven by the snippet found on Google News. Depending on Google News, this may or may not update there.
Here is a screenshot of what Google News says:
And here is a screenshot of the article:
Contact them to tell them to add Ron Paul back into their results. This distortion is unacceptable. How could they have screwed up their results so much? I mean, confusing McCain as 19% rather than 11%? Weird…
Update
After a little more detective work, I managed to reconstruct most of the original paragraph. Most of it is the same as the new one. It looks like they just removed a section about the Echo Boomers, who are supporting Ron Paul 18%. Here it is:
Rudy Giuliani is still the top choice for Echo Boomers followed by Mike Huckabee (28% and 21% respectively), but John McCain moves into third place (19%) and Ron Paul jumps into 4th place with 18 percent of this generation’s support.
So, tell Cherry Creek News to put back in its Echo Boomer results, which are apparently the generation of people between 18 and 30.
Update 2
They told me to “get a life.” Wow - what a fair and honest publication. I don’t know why they won’t add Dr. Paul back into their article after these amazing polling results that obviously show he is neck and neck with Huckabee with young people. Boycott Cherry Creek News.
