Why are end-users so obsessed with Weatherbug that they get extremely upset over the idea of you removing it from their workstations, no matter how unstable it makes the system or spyware it installs?
DVD Shrink
If youre looking for a great program with plenty of features and good development support to backup your DVD movies, try DVD Shrink.
Since most blank DVDs are single-layer and many DVD movies make use of two layers, youll need a program that can compress the data down to the 4GB allowed on a regular single-layer DVD disc. DVD Shrink does this easily and can create a disc image you can use with just about any burning software and a DVD burner. If youve got Nero installed, it will even burn directly to disc.
And you cant beat the price (free).
We’re studying hard, Mom …
From Excite.com News (really):
Three students at Jacksonville University have been punished for installing a stripper pole in an on-campus apartment and taking pictures as fully clothed women performed on it at a party. A female student who won a dance contest also was disciplined.
About a dozen women competed for a $100 Victorias Secret gift certificate Sept. 11, said James Foster, a 20-year-old who hosted the party. None of the women disrobed.
The men bought the steel pole from Home Depot, bolted it to the concrete ceiling and attached the bottom to a plywood stage covered in red felt.
Best line from the news piece: The party ended shortly after the beer ran out.
