Daily Mail-style rant? Hopefully the opposite.

Apparently numerous fishermen are complaining that they lose money every time they leave port, and are therefore thinking of blockades as a protest about fuel costs etc.
 
Call me stupid, but wouldn't it be more sensible if they didn't set out fishing until it's economically viable? "Duh, the fuel for the boat is going to cost more than the price I'll get for what I catch. I'll set out anyway and whinge about it later."
 
Might even be some fish to catch if they take some time off...

M'aidez!

Okay, LJ geeks, I need your help.

I have a problem with my PC, in that every time I insert a blank disk to burn, it immediately reboots Windoze (XP). I've updated Nero, that didn't seem to help, and I've also downloaded (apparently) a driver for the DVD player, but appears to be an exe and a bin file, whereas the updater is looking for an inf file.

Hence, confusion.

I've read stuff about possible memory overflows and out-of-date drivers, the driver thing is my main focus right now.
