I emailed info@ubuntulinux.org to whine.
I blame the headache.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ffmpegx, Mac the Ripper, and Handbrake all agree that there is only one episode on this DVD.
I think the easiest way to copy this is just going to be to take it to work with me. (Where I have a DVD player hooked up to a FCP system, and nothing whatsoever to do tomorrow.)

Coding and Sleeping
Actually, I'm using SUSE now, but I rather like Ubuntu as well. I liked Gnome better at first, but after trying both KDE and Gnome I eventually started liking KDE better. However Kubuntu seemed a little buggy (unlike Ubuntu), so that pushed me toward SUSE.

Okay, I still can't access the itunes music store and I'm having problems with ipodder. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Wireless router here. I've unplugged the dang thing and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

Did your issue clear up, LeN? I have no help to offer, sadly.
I'm looking to buy a new HD for the PC that is going to become Linuxed up. What's the most reliable brand these days? I'm looking for something in the 100-200 GB range, speed is good, but quiet is better.

I buy nothing buy Seagate for my machines and have had wonderful luck with them. These are drives that are streaming audio and video all the time, so they get worked pretty hard.
Of course now that I've said this I'm just asking for an HD crash.

Hmm. Outpost.com has a 300GB Seagate for $135.
Thanks!

They are also very quiet. My theatrical machines have to be quiet enough to be in the house with the audience and not noticed and the Seagate drives are the only ones I'll use.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I... uhhh... dropped a hard drive and now the computer thinks it's not even initialized. If I try to initialize it, I'll loose all the data on it, right? Is my only hope to spend a lot of money by bringing it to one of those HD hospital places? Or is there something I should try at home?
(It was the drive I used to store back-ups, so I don't think there was anything extremely valuable on it, but I'd like to grab the most recent back-up image on it if possible)

My iPod has gone completely dead. It was working fine this morning, and now I can't even turn it on. I've tried restarting by holding down Menu and Play/Pause -- no response.
Could the battery have died that quickly? If I go to the Apple Store, will they let me trade up for a new one?
