A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Did you know edlin is still around? It's available in Windows XP, even.
Maybe even Vista.
Scary.

Thanks to friends who are very sneaky, I am now the proud owner of a video iPod. (eeeeee!) I'm assuming that I'm not going to be able to just pop a DVD into the computer and export the movie to the iPod. Am I wrong? Or is there a program I should install on my laptop to do this?

There are tutorials at ipodlounge.com.

The short version is that you'll need to rip the DVD, then use a program to convert it. But the tutorials have links to programs and stuff.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
FWIW, my iPod doesn't have anywhere near enough battery life to play an entire movie -- I can get about 45 minutes of video playback out of it, but not much more.
There are several programs out there that can rip DVDs to M4V for you. Do you have a Mac or a PC?

But that'll be enough to watch music videos while stuck on the bus!

Mine can manage a little more than two hours, I think. It's maybe six months old?
