    How to rip a song from a DVD menu...

    First.. I doubt the song is MIDI, in a DvD menu. :-) DVD Shrink will allow you to rip just the menu as a seperate "DVD" Then, mount that DVD (.iso) with daemons tools. Load up Xmpeg, and rip the audio to wav. Edit audio accordingly

    BB Memorex DVD-R Deal 100 for $20

    Uhm.. Pot calling the kettle black? Knowing to differentiate through inks used to determine manufacturer seems.. pretty geeky to me. 100 disks for $20 sounds like a great deal to me. I paid $13.99 for 50 two weeks ago, and that was on sale.

    SATA Raptor compatible on SATA2 boards?

    Sata II controllers are all backwards compatible to sata I drives. Oddly enough, Sata II drives can also run on Sata1 controllers. Just, not with SataII features.

    Dunno where else to put this... MP3s lost?

    Question on USB backups

    You could always get yourself a copy of knoppix live, and DD the drive to and from the external drive. I do believe, that, the newest version of ghost has some sort of "USBdos" driver... At the very least, I *KNOW* it has a network support, so you could get yourself one of those nice dlink...

    Oh, no.. I'm on firefox ..Just.. well.. It sucks.. it's just a lesser evil.. I don't like the fact that half the websites I visit don't work, and that it uses 300% more memory than I.E. but I like spyware even less.

    FS: Motherboards cheap (939, 754, 775)

    Can you clarify what you mean about the linux issue. Do you mean that there is poor driver support under linux, or that the chipset itself on this specific board is defective....? I.e. if I want to run WinXpProSP2 on it, will it dog on the s-ata.. or is it a SOFTWARE problem?

    Question on USB backups

    How much free HD space should you have for system stability?

    IT depends on where that 20 gigs of free space is.. E:\? or C:\ How much free space do you have on C:\ ? You could have 500gigs free on auxilliary drives.. but if you are at 10mb empty space on C:\... it could be problematic..
