I use Disk Utility to store sensitive data in encrypted disk images. That's not absurd, and doesn't need to be fixed :)

@ lycus: Leopard + GUID partition tables fix that. PC partition tables won't allow for that functionality.
@ arundel: I feel your pain. Download Burn.app and be happy.

Disk Utility is the only built-in method in OSX to burn multisession CDs, and requires saving a disk image first. It's absurd, and needs to be fixed.

Disk Utility doesn't allow one to edit the partition table without completely destroying all data on a drive. It's absurd, and needs to be fixed.
