  1. Re:We need more cameras on British Civil Liberties Film Released · · Score: 1

    Yeah ... you probably want to stay out of Canada too. We are such assholes about that kind of stuff. You want the cool place to the south no doubt. It's a bit dangerous here too. Almost tripped over a big black bear this morning on my run. Beautiful guy with a really glossy coat, in wonderful condition. I'm gonna call him Tom in your honor, I'll very likly see him again.

      Just to put it plainly. You weapons creeps are all cowards.

    Just hardware man. I know the people who run it. I've never seen a refurbished as new but yes they are very cheap. All my returns ... 2 in 10 years have been promptly handled and one was a Tyan mobo.

    Another "Letters to Penthouse" special. Damn I haven't even looked at one for years but this brought it all back. Even to a 60 year old ... nice letter dude.

  7. Re:Copying Has Nothing To do With CSS on Canadians Overpay Millions on Copyright Tax · · Score: 1

    Works well for duplicating DVDs ... block for block, CSS left intact.

    sleep 1
    dd if=/dev/dvd1 of=stream.dvd &
    sleep 1
    growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=stream.dvd &&

      Your point is pretty blunt and will not penetrate to the truth ;).

  8. Re:So, maybe this IS the solution? on Canadians Overpay Millions on Copyright Tax · · Score: 1

    Ahh that explains it. A post claimed 21 cents a CD as the tarrif. I buy 100 piece stacks of CDs for about $24 and 100 piece stacks of DVDs for $32 or so. They must be for data, cool that's all I have ;), some of the data is quite entertaining though ....

  14. Re:Prompt on Windows PowerShell in Action · · Score: 1

    Wrong again. I was interested if there was any equivalent to dd actually. Without that and useful pipes what good is a scripting language? I do have a lot of scripts, it's pretty well how I do everything.

      Windose has been useless for me except to flash my burners periodically. Mostly because the interface is so brain dead. I don't do click click click ... it's for morons.

    How 'bout a nice green for it's colour?

      Can I do this? I call it dupedvd:

    sleep 1
    dd if=/dev/dvd1 of=stream.dvd &
    sleep 1
    growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=stream.dvd &&

      You need a couple of burners or a burner and a reader. The sleeps keep it from tripping over it's self.
        Eh'

    Well the provincial government hired the teacher and runs the schools while the feds pony up most of the cash. So the federal response was at least appropriate. We kinda are a more inclusive society so we tend to treat this kind of thing seriously.
