About a year ago I purchased Roxio's Easy Media Creator, and have kept the download file stored for my own use until recently. In an unfortunate series of events I accidentally deleted the file. Upon going to Roxio's website I got a message telling me that my download window had expired and that I would have to pay for CDs of the product to be shipped to my house. The problem is, I'm leaving on an extended business trip and they won't be here before I leave, and I am wanting to rip a bunch of my DVDs to my hard drive so I've got something to watch from time to time. So I'm looking for a good, free dvd ripper so I can rip my DVDs to playable files, like the 700 MB .avi files you see floating around all over the place.
I know of handbrake and I'm about to try it out, but I am aware that a lot of these pieces of software do not include decryptors and therefore are useless to anybody who isn't trying to rip a home-made DVD.
MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations.
I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world.
Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up.
All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers!
Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
I actually agree with "Good Bot". "millions" - I wonder how they made that assertion. Did they guess? If so, not good enough. Hence "clickbait". If they said "five people" it'll still be clickbait. It's clickbait unless there are actual proven figures to substantiate that claim
I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
