I have made a slideshow and saved it on to a recordable dvd. The disc works on the computer I made it on (which has Windows Vista) but when I put it on my PC or dvd player it is saying the disc is empty!!!

Is there any way I can get the other players to play my disc?

Someone said 70% of people are Christians.
I'm thinking more like 7%
When you take into account the two largest populated countries China & India are not Christian based countries.
99% of people i know in Australia had church going grand parents, but there grand children do not have any higher beliefes.
I belive as the world has become more educated. beliefs of a holly creator have gone out the window.
amen

I always thought I was just shy but I've been reading alot about social phobia and some of it fits me. I am quiet, I prefer my own company but I suspect that comes from being an only child. I don't make friends easily, I am not scared of people, I can go and do anything I want I just find crowds etc uncomfortable, I don't have panic attacks or anything in crowds I just don't really like them, same with socialising, I don't really like it but I'm not scared to do it. I have a full time job, a wife and 2 kids, most people I have read about who are social phobic don't

What do u think?

i probably will not see him on his birthday, so i will have to drop it off his place. i have been to his place for professional reasons, so i know his address.
if i drop it off, i will have to contact him (via phone or email) to tell him that i will be dropping it off. our relationship is closer than a normal student-professor relationship, but non-sexual in every way. however, i am female and he is male. is dropping off a gift too much? we are not *that* close, but pretty close. on a scale of 1-10, 1 being a normal student-professor relationship, 10 being boyfriend and girlfriend, and 5 being a friend... we are a 4. will that be too awkward?

something compared to or in relation to something, in his mind that meant something absolute. yet to me it seems that that is not the case. Since growth dos not have to be into something know, something already decided. I mean it can be spontaneous growth into unknown.
And change can be understood in relation to the world around you, itself in constant change. Plus the you that once was compared to the you today, is compared with your memory, also subject to change and distortion. The reality of it being only a thought. So I dont see his arguement of stating that is proof.

I am not a philosophy expert so please correct me if I am wrong.

"Change does infer one absolute being compared to another absolute. You cannot say you are taller if you aren't certain you were once short."

but does not an sbsolute mean something perfect, thus static?
then you compare your height with a memory, a thought.
how can that be absolute, where does it exist? my mind? even that will pass.

When it comes to Java networking, I'm pretty clueless. I am aware of ServerSocket and Socket.
I can get two instances of my program running, and one be the server and the other the client. The one with the server I run a client off of as well, and the one that is the client I only run an instance of the client. I am able to successfully connect, but the second I try and read information sent from the server, it locks up. This happens when I use the "read()" and "readLine()" methods.
I am trying to get basic networking just to start--a communication between two JTextAreas between two different users. Basically, I'm trying to get a chat program working for the time being, and as soon as that's working, I'm confident I can get the competitive functionality of two games over the network running smoothly.

Do you know of any sources of a basic Server/Client program with two JTextAreas or any good referances to basic Java networking? Or do you have any suggestions to my issue?
