Unfortunately, VLC doesn't work either. Nor MacTheRipper, FairMount, or HandBrake. If you don't want to use one of your 5 region changes, you need a region free external drive.
The MacBook and MacBook Pros use Matsushita DVDs that implement region restrictions in the DVD firmware. The only way to circumvent it is to purchase an external region free DVD player.
In sum, these lap tops are no good for anyone who travels from region to region and likes to rent DVDs at a local kiosk.
If I had it to do over again, I would rethink my mac purchases.
I am not advocating reactive hypoglycemia. This can be easily verified by blood sugar monitoring which is easily withing the grasp
of everyone today. If one really does have reactive hypoglyemia, he certainly needs to avoid sugar.
Hypoglycemia, along with ADD, are often diagnoses adduced by parents to explain their children's lack of discipline.
Where do you imagine that I said anything to advocate Atkins. I eat one meat meal a week. I merely stated that one needs enough high quality protein to not be deficient in essential amino acids if one wants to manufacture sufficient quantities of neurotransmitters. Among other things. Is that a sophism?
Which I don't think contradicts my point. Myasthenia gravis which is manifested by a functional deficiency of acetylcholine has nothing to do with dietary choline.
The brain runs on glucose, so don't drink sugary or fizzy drinks.
Eat beans on toast which have high fiber and protein. This makes no sense. Sugar is good for the brain. It is the preferential fuel.
And don't miss breakfast. This is why the United States is a nation of fat slobs. Nutritional experts telling everyone they need to eat like an adolescent during his growth spurt. Most people don't need breakfast or lunch either for that matter.
And choline is a neurotransmitter so eat food high in choline.
Umm, can our bodies synthesize choline? Or any other neurotransmitter for that matter. Disease caused by neurotransmitter deficiency, e.g. myasthenia gravis are not caused by diet low in choline
We need essential amino acids which we cannot synthesize. All that is required is a diet with a reasonable amount of high quality protein.
I have bought almost all my DRAM from Kingston for years. In the past few years, the incidence of defective DRAM modules has risen. I don't really mind this because of their excellent replacement policy.
A great deal of the cost of DRAM is testing and culling the good chips from the defective. I am happy to do the testing myself for a good price, if I know that return is easy and I won't have to go through multiple return cycles.
The last DRAM I bought from Kingston was marginally bad. I had a very quick connection to competent technical support who authorized RMA and very explicit and clear instructions from customer service. I printed out a return form sent via email and took it to Kinko's/FedEx. No shiping charge and I was given a receipt with a tracking number. The replacement DRAM was flawless.
A year or so ago, my son bought some DRAM from Apple.
He ordered the wrong part. Apple refused to accept an opened return.
I understand that Apple probably tests the DRAM extensively and one pays a high price and is guaranteed good DRAM. If they accepted opened returns, they would have to retest.
Orin Hatch is the perfect choice as he is emblematic of a
congress that is dysfunctional in the realm of copyright law.
As slashdotters are well aware, we now have effectively
copyright in perpetuity as congress keeps extending the term of copyright.
Nothing ever passes into the public domain anymore. If this state of affaires
had existed when Walt Disney was building up his company, he could not have
made any of the feature film cartoons of public domain stories, e.g
Snow White, Cinderella.
The worst problem with copyrights is not that they are by nature immoral, but that they are basically incompatible with multipurpose, user programable computers and free peer to peer communication. At the end of the day, in order to enforce copyrights, the state will have to eliminate one or both of the above.
This is too high a price to pay for the principal of copyright.
Copyright laws should exist as precatory laws to encourage people to pay for the intellectual property they consume and to punish flagrant abusers.
Actually, the original heliocentric model predicted LESS well than the kludgy Ptolomaic one. But it was clean, logically coherent and was indeed a much superior platform for others to build on.
And if it is too cold to live where you live in the winter? Migrate too? Turning the country into nomads contiually migrating from north to south and back again seems a rather extreme proposal.
High price commerical Linux distros are appriopriate for value added components useful for servers, e.g. ldap, mail servers.
Nobody expects such a computer to support every sound card or
other peripheral.
PC users don't need high priced commercial Linux distros.

How about Edna St. Vincent Millay?
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--
It gives a lovely light!
Ok, substitute Eaton-Lambert syndrome for myasthenia gravis.

In the United States, treaties must be confirmed by the senate only and then become the law of the United States.
This should be modded up to 100. It is a great posting.
No, the right word is protagonist, not hero.
smoothly => continuously
Sort of like Mozilla.
