("Gary Davis") ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bill Wilner Subject: Cloning DVDs on eMac? Date: Fri, 28 May 2004 00:11:26 -0800 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 ------------------------------ From: DAVEDARC@aol.com Subject: Better to burn out, then to fade away.... Date: Fri, 28 May 2004 08:07:32 -0400 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.

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).

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. ===== Make Tapes Not war Casey __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

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. Olaf ------------------------------ From: "Gary Davis" Subject: OT: Stop "INSTALL ON DEMAND" Now! Reply-to: g@hoxnet.com Date: Fri, 28 May 2004 17:46:07 -0700 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!
