message: Should northern hemisphere seasons be used to date something?  "Summer 2003" should probably just be "mid-2004", if a specific month can't be agreed upon.
:I think it's understood that "Summer 2004" means northern hemisphere summer if it is not otherwise specified. Most if not all of the firms developing this technology are northern hemisphere, and the northern hemisphere contains most of the world's land and population.
::NO!
:I'm confused...why would "Summer 2003" equal "mid-2004"? Wouldn't it be mid-2003, or perhaps late 2003? Was that a typo or are you getting at something that I'm just not understanding? I agree that if there isn't anything important about the season (i.e. we're not talking about the Summer Olympic Games, or the Winter pre-holiday buying rush) that something non-regional should be used to refer to a date that doesn't tie it to a particular area of the planet. --Kadin2048 21:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not change it to Financial Quarters ie Q2/3 2004 or something similar. There is no real need to say "Summer 2004" unless it is specific to the region. --Weyoun6 00:43, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Or some reason the fact that it's summer is relevent, which would be rare when talking about computer storage technology. See Wikipedia:Manual of style (dates and numbers)#Seasons. - dcljr (talk) 00:07, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know the exact capacity in bytes of a DVD+R DL? —Typhlosion 00:12, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this page  Blank Disc Capacity :    4,171,712 Sectors = 8,147.9MB = 7.96GB (8.54GB); so really it's 7.96 GiB ("real" gigabytes) and 8.54 GB ("marketing dept" gigabytes). It makes little sense to express the capacity in bytes since the sectors are bigger than bytes. --Kadin2048 20:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else think the bar should be changed to bold from the red background? Red is way to harsh for a list to simply indicate where in the list the current article is. Just a thought. Chotchki 14:13, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: If anyone goes around and has alook at catalouges, internet shops or high street shop, it is very rare to find a Minus R Dual Layer, some of this I belive is down to compatability problems with the format, I have also met quite a few computers with DVD writers on bearing the DVD-R Dual Layer logo on, what is the point of this if you cannot buy the discs to work with them. Meanwhile it is not uncommon to find their Plus cousins (+R Double Layer) so this suggests that Minus R Dual layer is like Betamax. J2F Duck (talk) 16:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

message: On some of the disc burning forums I've seen mentions of IS media and that it tends to be incompatible with some older DL burners. I've run into this myself with some Memorex 8x DVD+R DL media that my laptop refuses to read and will automatically eject blank ones. I can burn them with other drives and they'll read in them too. Since web search engines are all simultaneously too stupid and attempting to out-think the user, it's impossible to find out anything about this. The Web needs a search engine that is case sensitive and *really dumb* so it will only look for EXACTLY what the user enters. Bizzybody (talk) 08:17, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
