If life were a movie...

So you know how when you're watching a movie and something stupid happens with a computer, this is either:

  • A person saying something dumb about how it works.
  • They type some command or run some software that just doesn't make sense.
  • The computer gives some weird error that just doesn't make sense (or that it wasn't given enough info for it to give an error like that).

    The attempt to burn a disc failed.  The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.And of course you think “that doesn't make sense” or “people are actually going to believe that now”! I know I'd think something like that if I saw a message like this one, “The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media” , I mean how crazy is that? You've never really get a message like that, right?!?

    My Powerbook (12 inch, 1.5GHz, superdrive) gave me that message today and I just couldn't believe it. I had to try two other CDs from the same package and then go try them in another burner (which worked fine). I stuck another CD in here and it worked just fine, how bizarre?
