JEEEEEZ, just buy the bloody disc it would be cheaper than all the time you have spent on-line argueing about ripping it!
It really is "The winter of our discontent"
drchips pass the dinothesaurus thingy please!
"Alas poor Baldrick i knew him well"

that sounds like a handy mug to have, have you got one to spare? <grin>
cdcoaster:
right you are, one dinothesaurus thingy coming right up:

beasty976:
do you REALLY think you are helping NomadLand or pulsar to make their respective points?
Have Fun...

Hmmm! I have a 28" panasonic, I am not impressed with any plasma screen that I have see yet, even the smaller ones. LCD looks better, but I am not sure of the limits of this technology, how long will it last etc. Saying that, LCD's have been used on laptops for a while now & they seem ok. If I was buying a new TV I would probably go for an LCD, at least 32". I appreciate what other people think, but I can only go by my experience. Platinum is good for my system & my requirements. I have a friend that has a 100Hz 32" digital Phillips TV (Don't forget that phillips makes tubes etc for lots of TVs mine has a phillips tube which is why I do not understand the gap in picture quality). The picture quality is no-where near the sharpness & resolution on my 50Hz Panasonic. It could be argued that the extra 4" makes the difference. I am not convinced though. I hasten to add that that is my opinion! (YOINKS!!). I think that the TV manufacturers have a long way to go to satisfy my needs! I guess we are all after the same thing, good quality backups & good quality to view it with.
It's amazing the passion that can be aroused by a reply. I like to stir it up a bit!
Nice one everybody!!!

Whoops, how did that happen?? I can burn dvds but can't do the most basic functions that require the minimum skills, probably something wrong with my cerebral cortex which has resulted in the neuron receptors in my brain sending mixed messages to the fine motor skills dept. Oh for a magnetic resonance imaging scan. Damn those receptors, Am I losing my perspicacity. (Is that fine example of the English language, well renowned for it's idiosyncratic & obssesive attitude to long windedness in context?) One could debate for hours on the literary genius of our wonderful Anglo-Saxon/Norman/French/German/Greek/Latin language, or whoever was invading my tiny island st the time! for an age. God how I love English!! What's a thesaurus?I

I think, personally, it's probably best for everyone to stick to their own methods. Of course the software "we" use is always "THE BEST". We dont like to be proved incorrect or it would be a major threat to our ego's !!
I will continue to use Shrink, DVD2One & Pinnacle instant copy in conjunction with each other. It's taken me a while to "perfect" ( hate to use that word) my methods. Until proven otherwise, I will continue.
Dr Chips, Sometimes its best to count to 10 !!!. I think most people would totally agree with your point of view.

is that a brontosaurus who, on the previous evening embibed in a selection of fine tinctures along with a selection of beverage consultants - vis-a-vis friends, at his local hostelry, who now requires some form of pharmaceutical product, which in turn will alleviate the bodies natural reaction, dehydration, technical terminology aside - stinking headache - and will therefore result in the curing of the aforementioned symptoms. This would not however solve the possible mendicity, due to the substantial exchange of the local denomination at the previous juncture. All of this literal discombobulation has ended in a distinct bereftness of sanity. This is no doubt due to the extensive use of the higher thought level processes required to produce, in the same way as a prestidigitator would use, in order to astound & let his audience suspend their belief system for a determined chronological duration. Or am I wrong?

I didn't mean Dr chips rules brian newbie literally, not like a meglomaniac. That's not some one who builds lots of toys with those little coloured bricks you understand. I should have put Dr chips rules, (enforced gap to accentuate the non-intended connection to meglomania) brian newbie. PHEW!!

Thank the spirits you didn't want me to count PAST 10, 'cos I would have had to take my shoes & socks off!
LOL ---
Rats! my megalomaniac plan has been uncovered, I am undone!!
Does anyone want to buy some sharks with "frikkin lasers" on their heads??
And some LEGO(tm)??

LOL, it is common knowledge that there is no higher number than ten. If you are told any different I would suspect a conspiracy of the western governments to promote the oppression of its' populations knowledge. So it is just as well you did not take off your shoes & socks. You could have created a freak wormhole in the space time continuum and put Stephen Hawkin (He is a GOD!) & Ed Witton (so is he!)in a parallel universe, hopefully this could prove the string theory, ergo we would have solved Einsteins' Grand Unified Theory he failed to crack due to his problems in connecting quantum physics with his theory of relativity. This of course may also prove if tachyon particles could exist too and we might even catch a neutrino or two. They really are slippery little sods! I've tried using a really fine mesh, alas to no avail!

I've also tried 5 dernier stockings to catch those elusive neutrinos. Have you tried catching neutrinos Dr Chips, or have you found something more worthwhile to do with your time?
Like I have!!

Hey drchips, thanks for the link that's a real handy site, love that translator. I have the Systrans s/ware which i often use for, uuhhh, translating but it does not support anything like that many languages and my old thesaurus can go back to proping up my wonky chair, thanks.
PS. Anyone that has genuinely earned a doctorate, if that is what your dr in drchips signifies, gets my respect any day!

'Ere, wot you mean "common knowledge", I ain't common, I'm POSH (beasty976 sez so, so it MUST be true - LOL), anyway, the "gubmint" wouldn't have anything to do with such a conspiracy, would they?
...
.. Errmm... Would they?... Guys?
I assume you meant Stephen Hawking (he can get a bit miffy when his name is spelt wrong) and Ed Witten, yeah, those guys could really tie the world in knots when it comes to String Theory.
I must admit that I do hold Richard Feynman in high regard, alas he is no more, what a controversial figure (socially and professionally).
*NEWS FLASH* ---- Immigration officials at Dover claimed to have discovered a lorry smuggling Neutrinos into the U.K. --- It was subsequently discovered that they were in fact "Latinos"; a junior typist has been reprimanded ---- *NEWS FLASH*
If you want to capture neutrinos, you will need a VERY DEEP hole, lots of water (ice) and a few other bits and pieces....
They are fast, that is why I like to keep moving (moving target is harder to hit), the thought of thousands of tiny little holes through my body is too much, my orange juice would leak out when I drank it..
BTW, 5 denier stocking would be no good, women use them to capture men; effective when the target is that big, but no good with really small things..
Would a magnet work?
Doubtful, though its proximity MAY have an effect upon the charged-current reaction: depends where on the equipment you placed it.... :O
I am enjoying this, getting the old grey-cells working again....
Byeee...

Is that the "How long is a piece of string theory"
I made a model of the Beagle II with MY Lego, but i seem to have lost it!
Should'nt do experiments on beagles anyway there lovely dogs.
I had some of that grey matter once, but i gave it to an aunty and it went a funny dark colour and disappeared?

& a few tons of heavy water & lots of mirrors, apparently heavy water has an extra electron that reacts when struck by the hapless yet elusive neutrino. Sorry about the duff spellings, does he get that upset? Sorry Steve. What about tachyons though?, the particle accelerator I have in my garage can only get my neutrons to 99% of light speed. It's actually quite challenging calculating their speed with a stopwatch & a measuring tape.
Personally, I think any tachyons should be booked for speeding. They have no right defying the laws of physics

I think the string theory is to do with string soup (a la The Clangers). The iron chicken certainly has a theory about the newly renamed "How long is the string soup theory". Only problem is that no body can understand a bloody word it says. I also had a pair of neutrino trousers once.
NICE!!

Yeah, and I like that pretty blue light too...
Pavel Cherenkov got his Nobel Prize a year after I was born.
I have long thought that the best configuration for yer average garden-variety particle accelerator would be in the form of a Mobius Strip which was then folded in the same manner as a Protein molecule, nice and compact - should be able to run it from domestic electricity: with the addition of a bowl of heavy water, instant mood lighting...
Shhhh!!!
The politicians will hear you, and their eyes will be ABLAZE at the thought of all that extra revenue from speeding fines - it's bad enough as it is, THANK YOU!!!
BTW, can you imagine the GATSO cameras that would have to be used ;-)

Nah, da french dude wiv da pianner woz dat Liberace..
Well, I HEARD that beagles were bred as Shooting Dogs, but they couldn't breed them quick enough.
If you have lost your LEGO(tm) model of the Beagle II, then you will probably find it when you discover that half-eaten MARS BAR(tm) down the back of the sofa...
Ah, the Clangers: you ain't no spring chicken, are ya..
