Any recommendations on cheap/free software to rip DVDs so I can watch my movies on my pretty new Nano? I'm on a MacBook Pro.

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!

Will fsck do anything for me that Disk Utility can't?
Wouldn't hurt to try. At least it will give more verbose error messages.
How can I tell if this is hardware-related (ie don't buy Leopard and start from scratch)?
Look in /var/log/messages, (or use the Console.app utility), and see if there have been disk errors that have been logged.

All is well that ends in pizza.
After Making a mini maglight into a working laser, what do you do for an encore?
Make a Star Trek Phaser prop into a Blu-ray-powered laser, of course.

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

I figured that would happen.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I have a problem I hope someone here can help me with. In the last couple weeks when I read lj I frequently have computer freeze-ups or lose input from the keyboard(the mouse works fine). I don't know if it's a browser problem(I'm using Netscape 7.0 for the Mac) or a computer problem(I have a 6+ year old iMac running System 9.1).
If it's a browser problem, is there anything I can do about it, or are there any other/better browsers that will run on my computer?
(I really don't want to buy a new computer right now, as I've had a lot of expenses in the last few months that have eaten away at my bank account)

Compassionately intolerant
I've been having some weird freeze-ups when viewing tv in the 'net Sheryl, and I'm beginning to suspect my 6+ year old eMac's 700MHz processor of just being too darned slow.
I'm with you with the not buying a new machine right now, so I'm just opting for patience.
