I remember when CDs were new and the classical music aficionados were complaining that DDD recordings were worse because you could hear the musician's fingers on the strings and other "artifacts" that couldn't be resolved with analog recordings.
As is usually the case, it isn't nearly as difficult under Windows as you imagine.
At the very least, ISO Buster shouldn't have any problems with it. There are many other utilities out there. I don't have an example with a screwed up IFO to test, but I suspect the popular freebie utility Daemon Tools could do it, too -- it would just treat the disc in the drive as an image.
I'll preface this by saying I don't know the answer either, and don't have the time to go looking for it, but do you know what makes cream and eggs white? Specifically, I mean. In other words, "cream and eggs" aren't comprised of some special group of "food atoms"... I would imagine they don't turn white because of titanium dioxide, but I don't know what does cause them to turn white, and I have no reason to believe those compounds are especially innocent just because they spent some time inside a chicken or a cow before they were made into a cake.
It only seems to "know what it's doing" because it killed all evidence to the contrary. Literally. The best reason to respect nature is because it won't hesitate to slaughter you and/or everything else through a vast array of mechanisms. Anything else is silly hippie anthropomorphizing nonsense.
Titanium dioxide is considered safe for ingestion. This is forunate since it is an incredibly abundant naturally-occuring compound, even though the name is a big scary chemically-sounding thing. If you care to read about it, here is an article on the subject from some organic-hippie types, plus it's easy enough to Google for the MSDS or ICSC listings on it. Only at massive overdose levels (e.g. repeated ingestion of very large quantities, such as extended inhalation of particles in an industrial setting) does it begin to demonstrate toxicity, and that's true of just about anything -- even water.
That's odd, but I've seen "regular" Google searches get the page count dramatically wrong. Maybe code, for some reason, really throws off the estimate. Assuming it's an estimate.
Hardly a comparison, but "mozilla sucks" is good for six hits, and "gecko sucks" is good for two more. However, it can be proven that these results are not definitive: "html sucks" only turns up 50 hits, and there is absolutely no question that HTML sucks.
Your commitment to researching and criticizing my personal situation is remarkable - and a bit creepy.
Nothing creepy about it. You do realize you can just click on somebody's username and see whatever they've posted, right? I doubted the veracity of your claims, so I sought to review your earlier positions to see whether there was any consistencty. What I found was lacking. I don't care enough about you or your opinions to "make fun" of you -- I simply called bullshit where I saw it.
As for the last word on the actual subject at hand, well, consider it yours, that really isn't of any interest to me.;)
Dumpster diving squatter, my ass. Is that where you also play interactive novel video games? Indeed, for such a concerned off-the-grid radical activist, you seem to spend a lot of time gaming. And of course, over here and here, you're playing techie and sounding suspicously like Just Another Corporate Sysadmin.
With regards to the response of any entity to an attack, I'll only point out that you're the one hand-wringing and claiming the response is "violent and illegal." What "big waves" are you talking about? What is the response you're talking about? Unless you can provide some specifics, your rant is that of a paranoiac.
The ironic part is that I do believe there is tremendous value in a system like Tor. There are people who need it. I strongly doubt you're one of them. I certainly am not. Yes we should both reserve the right to have access to such a system, but at this point I'm not aware of our government operating to suppress that right. (I assume you're American, due to this retarded and childish story you posted.)
Yeah, I just wanted the improved graphics. I've reloaded Morrowind recently, and frankly, by today's standards the graphics suck. A lot. I didn't like the way Oblivion's world constantly "leveled up" around me. It was annoying and silly. The distribution of powerful equipment was so messed up it was basically broken. Wandering bandits, desperately attacking innocent passerby... wearing ultra-rare armor and wielding weapons of immense power. Or the way the wildlife changes and disappears over time. And of course, the ultimate extension of this problem, the way the dungeons and adventures were basically unscripted. Or the fact that the whole gameplay setup is so weak that a level 1 character can plow through the Oblivion games and basically win the game once you know how the system works -- knowledge that isn't exactly hard to come by. Indeed, the reason I went to Oblivion forums in the first place is that after a few hours of play, everything just seemed very fishy and shallow...
Sure you could make the argument that it allows for open-ended gameplay, but I own a giant pile of games that allow open-ended play. An RPG should have a story, and Oblivion really failed in that respect. It had the outline of a story, but that's about it. In my case it rapidly became so annoying -- so transparent -- I simply had no urge to play the game. To me it looks like this: you aren't advancing if everything around you keeps pace automatically and universally -- you're standing still, they're just changing the labels.
Of course, it's a highly subjective thing I'm describing, and a lot of people's opinions are completely the opposite. I understand that. I was in the Bethesda discussion forums very early-on when it was a vehemently-argued topic. I'm not saying I'm RIGHT, I'm saying this is my opinion, and it's shared by a LOT of people -- so many that Bethesda probably should have responded.
And on the off chance you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the old Oblivion posts here, if they still exist:
I think you may have misunderstood what I posted. I like Morrowind a lot, but they totally screwed up the gameplay aspect of Oblivion. I'd love to have Morrowind and it's expansions, but with all the benefits of the Oblivion engine. The real pisser is that it doesn't sound like it would be all that hard. Early on when Oblivion was first released, the devs said they had major pieces of Morrowind successfully running in the Oblivion engine. But by now, it's clear that the very vocal complaints about Oblivion have fallen on deaf ears. On the PC side there are patches that fix a lot of the problems, but it really shouldn't have come to that.
When Morrowind finished, they took half the Morrowind team and immediately placed them at work on Oblivion. The other half of the team stuck around and did Morrowind expansions.
They should fire the half that worked on Oblivion gameplay.
The only Oblivion expansion I'd like to see (and on the PC at that) is one that works like Morrowind.
In Florida, at least, jail time (beyond the overnight stay) is a possibility beginning with the second DUI. In cases involving massive property damage or injury, the first DUI can land you in jail. My brother was facing five years for his second DUI -- and he was under the influence of legally proscribed medication, which makes the whole thing suck that much more. (He's a good guy, but he ain't that bright, unfortunately.)
On the other hand, I know a guy who has 15 DUI's and has only spent six months in jail. He lost his license after the 5th DUI, so I have no idea how he keeps winding up behind the wheel. Another person I know who has known him longer said he still owned a car around the time of his 10th DUI. But that would have been about 20 years ago, and I guess the MADD types are ratcheting up the DUI thing in their ongoing back-door prohibition campaign. But I digress...
Works fine on my two laptops, my wife's tablet PC, and my brother's laptop. And everybody I know uses it on their desktop. Hell, everybody I know on the same floor at my office -- probably ~150 developers -- use it on their desktops.
If your professor can't get it to work, I sure hope you're major isn't IT-related. But it wouldn't surprise me.
Dedicate your time - no, not your free time, like your LIFE - to disrupting business-as-usual for this entity.
It never ceases to amaze me. Somebody like you writes something like this, then follows it up with hand-wringing about how that same entity is going to act to protect itself. SURPRISE! What did you think they'd do, sit there and take it? The part that is missing from your Master Plan to Play Antisocial Badass (you know, when you're not flipping burgers or whatever the hell it is you do to pay rent until you figure out how to "go off the grid" and stick it to The Man) is how to cope with the consequences of your actions.
Why? Because I prefer to sell trees at 10 years? I'm 37. It's pretty common for tree farmers to swap land around, particularly in cases like mine where you're surrounded by many thousands of acres owned by large corporations with very long-term interests. For instance, I recently swapped about 35 acres with Rayonier, about 30 of which was populated with 15 year trees. That gave them 20 cleared acres which they sold to a residential developer, and I came out with 15 extra acres and about $30K worth of trees that I can sell immediately.
It isn't what I do as primary income, but once you hit a certain point, you can make pretty good side money at it. Or you can go big and make huge money, but there are risks, and it's actually a lot of work.
Don't get me wrong -- I'm all for paperless if it's possible, though it's hard to see it ever really happening. I was just responding to a bunch of utterly incorrect crap in the earlier post. If nothing else, we tree farm owners make a LOT more money selling much older trees for things like lumber and so on. My preference is to sell blocks of trees at about the 10 year mark.

Hell, you don't have to remember it, it's available on DVD -- I bought it a few months ago:
Amazon sucks

I can get to page 3, FWIW.
