A new Half-Life discovery has led to the archiving of a 1998 build of the Valve FPS, filled with new info and even cut levels and enemies.

Burning is writing a disc. Ripping is extracting data from a disc. Whoever wrote the article used lingo they don’t understand.

That is what I thought, I have burned many discs in my day, and I have never got an ISO from bruning a disc.

Yeah I would read “managed to burn the disc” to mean “managed to create a new CD-R copy of the original.” “Managed to rip the disc” would mean successfully created an .iso file.

Exactly. I even still have a bunch of blank DVDs and maybe a few blank CDs sitting in storage somewhere. I used to use them to burn Linux ISOs every couple years, but ISOs are now bigger than a DVD, so I now have to hunt down the USB drive each time (I’m always losing those).

I knew it had to do with putting data on a disc. I didn’t know the specifics.
