I know a bunch of people who refuse to stop referring to Blu-rays as DVDs. This is a whole new level.

I'm having trouble figuring out which one of several possible incorrect actions led to that quote.
Well? Did you? I'm on the edge of my seat!

This ought to let you know how long its been...
I read "CD" in your post and assumed it was shorthand for some item in Destiny. I was thinking, 'Does he mean Commendation? Maybe he is talking about Sharding an Exotic.'
Totally forgot that Compact Disc was a thing :P

It's like a Laser Disc, but much smaller.

Think small, shiny record that fits in your hand...
It's like a MiniDisc but bigger and without a cartridge

Probably for the best. Easily scratched and stolen discs maybe wasn't our finest technological feat of all time...

Actually, the Compact Disc is a pretty remarkable invention. The idea of using lasers (lasers!) in a consumer product a couple years before I was born is kind of crazy to me.
And you say "easily scratched," but a CD has a fair amount of redundancy built-in (for Red Book, it was 8 bytes of error correction data for every 24 bytes of actual data), which means it was a frak ton more reliable than other media of the day. Remember broken tapes clogging your player? Yeah, that was fun.

I still primarily use tapes in the car, and I won't have you disparaging them.

I can only dream of having a tape deck in my car! I'm stuck with a 6 disc changer and no other audio input which means I can only listen to a fraction of my music and in only one order. Want to sort by Artist or Playlist? Forgetaboutit! :/
Moral of the story? Lasers are cool, but Magnets are much more useful.

They could have 8 yottabytes of error correction and it wouldn't help them not get stolen...
You're just a fount of knowledge today.

Somehow yottabyte had escaped my lexicon. Now I'm in a wiki wormhole clustering around DNA computing. I'm learning a whole bunch today.
Sorry. Won't happen again.

I burned a CentOS 6.6 x64 install DVD just last week. Does that count?

I thought it was "burned"...
...but apparently both "burnt" and "burned" are correct, it's just that you typically see the former in Britain. Learn something new everyday, I guess?
I try not to.

I watch so much British TV that I don't even notice these things anymore.
Serves you right, you no-good, dirty grammer Nazi.
Grammar, you bastard.
I don't actually think you are a bastard.
I don't actually think you are a nazi.
No you were right. Can confirm, am both.
- No text -
Also:
I don't actually think you are a bastard.
I don't actually think you are a nazi.
You could actually save some time by combining these.
I don't actually think you are a nazi or a bastard.
I don't actually think you are a nazi bastard.
Additionally, you should use a contraction on "you are" if you're going to do it with "do not".
I don't actually think you're a nazi bastard.
That said, both sentences were grammatically correct! Welcome aboard! Here's your armband.

[*]What kind of CD was it?
Audio
[*]How long ago did your burn it?
Just a few weeks ago! My work car just has a CD player - no USB or external input capability.
[*]How long did it take?
2 or 3 minutes, tops. I remember when I had a 1x CD burner - it used to take however long the CD was, plus a few minutes extra. Progress, man.
[*]Was it a rewritable CD or just a regular one?
Standard CD-R. Believe it or not, some audio CD players don't behave well with CD-RW discs. So, as cheap as CD-Rs are, I just stick with them when making audio discs.
[*]Did you use a marker to write anything on top of it?
Yup. Artist/album name.
[*]What software did you use to burn it?
Brasero
[*]Was it an audio CD or a data CD?
Audio
[*]Did you burn it on accident or on purpose?
I never do anything by accident.
[*]Would you actually call it burnt or just "really well done"?
I would call it a reminder of the depressingly rapid pace of technology.
[*]How did it taste afterwards?
It tasted like Paramore, which is to say delicious.

Never. By the time I had a burnable optical drive, it was a DVD burner.
- Data CD--compilation of highly rated songs from Without Boundaries.
- Actually, 4 days ago.
- About 5 minutes.
- I tell ya, they don't even make rewritable ones anymore.
- No. I knew what it was.
- iTunes.
- Sorta both. It was a Data CD composed entirely of audio.
- Takes a lot of steps to burn something--no way it can be accidental.
- Burnt.
- I no longer gently lick CD's any more. They're desensitized.
