Lawyer got close, but no cigar - A tale of cock sucking lawyer
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued and won! In delivering the ruling the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous, however; the judge stated that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be "unacceptable fire," and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the "fires."
NOW FOR THE BEST PART. After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!! With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and sentenced him to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine. This is a true story and was the 1st place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.
有名北卡 Charlotte的律師買了一盒極為稀有且昂貴的雪茄,還為雪茄投保了火險。結果他在一個月內把這些頂級雪茄抽完了,保險費一毛也還沒繳,卻提出要保險公司賠償的要求。在申訴中,律師說雪茄在「一連串的小火」中受損。保險公司當然不願意賠償,理由是:此人是以正常方式抽完雪茄。...... 結果律師告上法院還贏了這場官司。
法官在判決時表示,他同意保險公司的說法,認為此項申訴非常荒謬,但是該律師手上的確有保險公司同意承保的保單,證明保險公司保證賠償任何火險,且保單中沒有明確指出何類「火」不在保險範圍內。因此,保險公司必須賠償。與其忍受漫長昂貴的上訴過程,保險公司決定接受這項判決,並且賠償美金一萬五千元的雪茄「火險」。
以下才是最精彩的地方: 律師將支票兌現之後,保險公司馬上報警將他逮捕,罪名是涉嫌 24 起「縱火案」!!! 由他自己先前的申訴和證詞,這名律師立即以「蓄意燒毀已投保之財產」的罪名被定罪,要入獄服刑二十四個月,並罰款美金二萬四千元。
這種事,也只是有在美國才會發生!

What is a .BIN? What is a .CUE? What is an .ISO
The .BIN & .CUE CD image format was made popular by the CDRWin software. Afterwards many programs have started supporting or partially supporting it, including: Nero, BlindWrite, CloneCD, FireBurner. The .CUE file contains the track layout information, while the .BIN file holds the actual data.
ISO is also a CD image format, but is sometimes used for 'ISO9660 format' (standard, recognized by all applications) and sometimes for unique Easy CD ISO format.
There are varity ofsoftware that can handle .BIN, .CUE,and .ISO files. Each extension can be burnedinto aCD-R or a CD-RW. Below listed some of the popular software available in the market today:
- Alcohol 120% - My favourite, excellent software, easy and yet very advanced (burns ISO, BIN/CUE, CCD, CDI, BWT files!)
- BlindWrite - easy to use
- FireBurner - also very good, a single .EXE file!
- BurnAtOnce - A handy and FREE tool for burning .bin/.cue/.iso. Easy to use.
- Nero - many of you have this, but it can't handle all image files.
- CDRWin - This is the original BIN/CUE software.
In case you don't have CD/DVD burner, or in case you just want to read the content without any CD/DVD media. You can "mount" the image files as virtual CD-ROM drives using:
There are also several softwares you can use to exploit & manipulate BIN/CUE files in various ways:
FAQs
1. I have a .BIN file but no .CUE?
You will need to hand made the .CUE file. .CUE can be made with just Notepad. A typical PC CD-ROM .CUE looks like this:
FILE "image-name.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
A typical Playstation(One or Two) .CUE file looks like this:
FILE "image-name.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 1 MODE2/2352
INDEX 1 00:00:00
"image-name.BIN" being the name of the image file (IWDII.BIN, CIV3.BIN and so on...)
Notice the difference of the track mode - PC-ROMs being Mode 1, Playstations CDs Mode 2 and (Super)Video CDs are also MODE2/2352.
2. How do I make .BIN & .CUE files?
CDRWin or the BIN/CUE format is not ideal for distributing. BlindWrite suite and CloneCD perform a lot better in this purpose and can also handle various copy protections. Both of these softwares can also create .CUE files for increased compatibility.
3. I have a .BIN & .CUE, but my CD writing software can't locate the .BIN file?
Edit the .CUE file with Notepad (or similar) and verify that the FILE "C:\path\image.bin" matches the location of your image file.
4. My image file is IMAGE.BIN.EXE and I can't rename it!

5. Sector sizes of CD image files (by Aldaco12)?
When you talk about images must think on SECTORS not on DATA SIZE. The rules are:
Facts:
- A standard 74 min CD is made by 333,000 sectors.
- Each sector is 2352 bytes big, and contains 2048 bytes of PC (MODE1)Data, 2336 bytes of PSX/VCD (MODE2) Data or 2352 bytes of AUDIO.
- The difference between secor size and data content are the Headers info and the Error Correction Codes, that are big for Data (high precision required), small for VCD (standard for video) and none for audio.
- If you extract data in RAW format (standard for creating images) you always extract 2352 bytes per sector, not 2048/2336/2352 bytes depending on data type (basically, you extract the whole sector).
- This fact has two main consequences:
- You can record data at very high speed (40x) without losing information, but if you try to do the same with PSX or Audio you get unredable CD (for PSX) od audio CD with lots of clicks because there are not error correction codes (and error are more likely to occur if you record at high speed.
- On a 74 min CD you can fit very large RAW images,up to 333,000 x 2352 = 783,216,000 bytes (747 Mb). This should be the upper limit for a RAW image created from a 74 min CD. Remember that if you store standard data (backup files), you can burn only 333,000 x 2048 = 681,984,000 bytes (the well known 650 MB limit).
Note that an image size is ALWAYS a multple of 2352 bytes (you extract SECTORS), if extracted in RAW mode.

Rasselas, Jazz/karaoke every Monday night
Recently she requested me to go to this live Jazz pub in the city. She and her musician buddies are hanging out there every Monday night. It's pretty cool - the small circle of friends and friends of friends would take terms to go on to the stage, singing or Improvised with their own instrument, each for about 5 to 10 minutes.
It's so damn cool just like the karaoke back home. If you like to get to know the local Jazz community in the city, Monday night at Rasselas is the place to check out.
