I'm getting an 800MHz eMac with the Superdrive for burning DVDs. If I
want to clone a DVD movie, do I need another device to input to the
Superdrive from? Or do you copy the DVD from the Superdrive to the
hard drive, replace the DVD with a blank DVD-R, burn from the hard
drive to the Superdrive, and then wipe the DVD file from the hard
drive once the DVD-R is complete? If I need to get a 2nd DVD player
to input into the eMac, does anyone recommend a particular model, or
just get the cheapest player with firewire output?
Thanks,
Bill

Regarding the comment Trey made...... What about Clapton, Phil Collin's, Floyd, Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac, Stones, etc.?......Certainly their music of the last 10 years is crap compared to what they have put out in their prime. I don't believe he is talking about the artists you mentioned (cause I agree with you, they are getting better and better). I though of the bands I mentioned when I saw the interview and I could agree more with him, especially when he is admitting their performances are sub standard compared to what they have been.
Cheers,
Dave

If you get the PBSU channel (377 on DirecTV), the Trey episode of
Charlie Rose is repeating a number of times today (Friday).

Well, you'd have to ask Trey...we can only speculate ;-)
But if I had to speculate and guess what Trey had in mind, and based on
other interviews, I'd guess he was thinking of Jerry and the Grateful
Dead/The Dead.
In several other interviews, Trey has said that the Dead was in some
respects a model and and others, almost an 'anti-model' for where Phish
wanted to go. One of the things they wanted to avoid was having many
people working for them and thus being forced to tour continuously to 'feed
the monster' and pay the mortgages and college tuitions for a hundred
families of office staff and show-pro crew members.
And personally, as a long-time and early fan of both the Grateful Dead and
Phish, I'd bet that Trey had the Dead clearly in mind with his comments in
the band's statement about not wanting to be a "nostalgia act" which IMO
was basically what the Dead became sometime around 1990 (when a lot of
fans, myself included, basically jumped ship and went over to Phish to get
the live show fix we needed).

I'll take a few for this from each list. From on the
rail in front of monitors, a couple of wavers of sound
from turning my head to drink a beer but nothing major
and not often. It's hard to just stand at the rail for
a whole NYE show and not boogie a little.

most likely the Dead, (especially this latest re-incarnation) who should
have called it quits when Brent died imo.

Hey all-
I still have 2 (possibly 3) 15-drawer card catalogs. Solid wood, good
condition. A drawer can hold 35 DATs, or 2 drawer-heights can hold
about 250 CDs in sleeves. Also good for cassettes, tools, toys, parts,
whatever.
I can email photos on request, along with dimensions, etc.
I need these gone, so I'm selling each for $35. Cheaper if you want
more than one. They stack nicely.
And just in case: I've also got a 60 drawer unit, oak, antique. I've
had a couple people pissing me off this week promising to come pick it
up but then not being able to make it. So if anyone in Chicagoland has
$200 and a pickup or van, email me.

This is a virus-related warning, primarilly for people running Internet
Explorer. Sorry, it is not directly related to DAT recording or
satellite Wildfeeds but it may be important.
While surfing the web recently, a web site automatically started
downloading software to my desktop and ran it without my
permission. One of the files downloaded was called
"Infamous_Downloader.exe", which I think pretty much speaks for
itself.
Aside from cleaning up the mess, I was very curious how it was
possible for a web site to download s/w to my computer and run it
without ever asking me. Normally you get a pop-up which asks
"DO you trust content from bla-bla?" if you try to download and run
software from a website.
I contact the Symantec AntiVirus people, and their tech surprised
me by saying this was "AdWare or Spyware," and not a virus per-
se, and that Symantec was not allowed, by law, to help me remove
adware or spyware because the FCC (or FTC?) had ruled that
adware and spyware are legitimate software, and not malicious
software like a virus or worm, and therefore Symantec could be
liable if they helped me remove it (???)
Anyway, the guy at Symantec at least suggested that I search the
web for Infamous_Downloader.exe, and I'd learn a lot more than he
was willing to tell me. Several items immediately popped up
describing the exact set of files I had received (and probably some
information on how to remove them, though I had already done this -
I hope!).
Apparently, IE 6.0, and perhaps other versions of Explorer and
perhaps even other browsers, has a feature called "Install on
Demand" which makes this possible. This feature, it would seem,
allows any website to install and run software on your computer.
Talk about a security hole 10 meters wide!! Without rambling more
about the politics of why this feature is available, here is how to
turn it off:
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
In Internet Explorer, choose:
Tools>Internet Options>Advanced
Under the "Browsing" header, about half-way down the screen, you
will see these two options. Un-check them!
[ ] Enable Install on Demand (Internet Explorer)
[ ] Enable Install on Demand (Other)
Good luck!
