   Review - AnyDVD HD

   6.4.5.0 (Jun 17, 2008)

   "CharlieGimbert:
   
   There is a reason why you were banned and all of the posts from your multiple fake accounts were deleted. If you don't behave, you will get banned again. Simple. You don't use AnyDVD, you're just a troll. Stop posting fake reviews and stop harassing other people."
   
   What is this flake talking about? LOL! Take your lithium!
   
   The AnyDVD Suite works great. SlySoft is a terrific company with fantastic products and great support and a very active well supported user forum.
   
   The only troll here is GilbertGrape - the paranoid wacko posting dispersions on a great product and company.

   Review - AnyDVD HD

   6.4.4.0 (Jun 16, 2008)

   Charlie Gimbert is a fool who hasn't a clue to which he refers.
   
   Slysoft is a very reputable company operating out of Barbados for which the WTO has officially granted an exemption from the copyright laws!
   
   Buy , download and enjoy. You are responsible for your use of the product. So evidently ole Charlie is up to no good. But it can be used to edit any feature out of a copy, be it the promos, menus, etc as well as any region of copyguard.
   
   An EXCELLENT suite of products! One of the few products that meets or exceeds all of their claims in every regard!

3. Comment - New scares loom over open source license lawsuits

   6.4.4.0 (May 4, 2009 - 10:09 AM)

   Oh yeah...
   
   Effectively copyrighting lines of code. And we can copyright sentences and prevent reuse.
   
   That's workable!
   
   LOL!

4. Comment - EcoFocus: PCs and software meet bikes, paint, and other green goods

   6.4.4.0 (May 4, 2009 - 9:43 AM)

   Oh wonderful.
   
   A bike that you actually power yourself and receive the benefit of exercise is insufficient - we need a 'green' 'do it for you ' device!
   
   What BS.
   
   ...And poison ivy is organic and natural. I don't want that in my salad either.
   
   Just more idiotic symbolism over substance illustrating more of the fundamental problem - only now it masquerades as intelligence and progress and is promoted on BN as if it is significant.
   
   What? No $100 flashlights or radios designed for impoverished 3rd world countries announced this week?
   
   And using energy to make ice to cool buildings. Where do they find these idiots?
   
   Yup, no sense in designing buildings to take advantage of passive convective cooling, or of using geothermal heatpumps utilizing the ground temperature to cool the buildings! Nope! That would ccome dangerously close to being an efficient use of energy!
   
   Let's use more efficient sources of energy to generate lower efficiency means to do less! But how novel! And oh so trendy.
   
   This designer green crap is just more of the crap we should have been avoiding all along as we have sought novel ways to avoid doing what we could have done ourselves all along ( nope, turning off a switch is far too complicated! We need complex control systems!) or designing incredibly inefficient methods to avoid doing what we would normally do in the process of walking or pedaling a bicycle.
   
   And we need more gadgets that use resources to track our carbon footprint instead of simply being aware on a common sense level and walking or pedaling or turning off light switches or not buying nonsensical gadgets to do what we can already do if we are simply aware of our behavior and surroundings. In other words, these neat gadgets let us function in our everyday oblivious mode as we feel good about ourselves for buying yet one more piece of sh!t gadget designed to make us FEEL better - sort of what these dweebs' vote for Obama was. THEY will do it for us! Weeeeeeeeeeeee.......
   
   The same idiots who learn that the Amazon is being destroyed and that tigers are endangered and have their kids waste all sorts of resources at school making posters expressing their emotional desire to save these resources and who then go home and see a snake in their backyard and kill it or use such soil sterilizers as Amdro to sterilize their yards of all bugs - and then have it run off into the sewers and drains and creeks...
   
   Yup, symbolism over substance.
   
   Pardon me, I need to go buy a pedometer so that I will lose weight - instead of simply exercising and employing portion control...but that assumes that I assume control of my actions! Like that will ever happen!
   
   Well, at least it keeps some of these idiots busy designing such nonsense off the streets.

5. Comment - Kindle 2 and the unintentional acquisition of knowledge

   6.4.4.0 (May 4, 2009 - 9:38 AM)

   Aren't you simply referring to "convergence"? And isn't such functionality already in many devices such as the iPhone (and others)?
   
   This entire technology is a value added FEATURE to be incorporated into almost any electronic device, be it a computer or phone - and buying an additional standalone device to carry around and which duplicates much of the capabilities you already have in other devices is absurd.
   
   But then, while I already have a vehicle I find very useful, I think I am going to buy a second car as it also has a DVD player in it. Don't need the car, but that DVD player feature sure is useful... Yeah...

   Absolutely they could!
   
   Keyboards, guitar, etc...
   And turn it into a game - connected with the playing of real songs, exercises, whatever for the nexus of the audible as well as the tactile and the technique - depending upon the sophistication of the input sensors...
   
   This can be done with MOST things, be they instruments or other skills, where proper technique is incorporated into the performance of what becomes a game, and where, if folks aren't careful, they may come dangerously close to learning something.
   
   After all, that is what most simulators are, except they begin with the premise that you want to learn something rather than simply beginning with the premise that you want to have fun and simply learn as a secondary 'bonus'.

   Great...
   Now, for a valid comparison, try downloading Wikipedia in book form.
