"I never tell a lie; I lying."
Original Star Trek
Kirk uses logic to defeat an evil computer that has taken over. He gives the computer a statement that is logically impossible, and the computer crashes trying to solve it:
I never tell a lie. I'm lying.
If the second statement is true, the first can't be.
If the first stement is true, the second can't be.
You gave media editor an illogical command (at least, illogical to the program) and it tried all night to solve it, but couldn't.
The title heading was not meant to call YOU a liar, but to compare your situation with the one in which that phrase was used--you know, computer stops performing after illogical command . . . .
I also didn't really mean that you should have additional primates handy when you rip your CDs, or that we nearly destroyed the planet or anything like that.
Sorry.
