I know someone with a DVD burner on their computer, if they uploaded my videos could they put them on a DVD for me?

Also, how do I tell how much space on my memory card the videos are taking up? The card is 4GB, and the salesperson told me it holds about 1,000 pictures. So far I have a little over 600 pictures. How much space would my videos be taking up?

I checked out the site you recomended, and it is a good reason why so many people in the environmental movement are considered whacky

The east coast is not that far from Africa, and when you consider the Bering straight is a causeway from Japan to LA—Why is it that, there are no Pyramids in Kansas..

This seems to be a very viable source of energy. I would ask why it is not in more popular use...........

Atomic plants don't explode they melt down. In other-words they run out of water to cool them, and slow the Fission reaction.

Chynobel anyone? That was the worst atomic accident in history, and it didn't explode.

You could do that or you could just rip the digital audio stream straight off the disc with a piece of software like ImToo DVD audio ripper.

Is it possible to down load a DVD then load the music from the DVD onto a CD?

I have the DVD of The Last Waltz

If marriage before legal age( 18 in most of the states)is a crime

shouldn't pregnancies before legal age be considered crime too

If so shouldn't sex before 18 should be considered crime too?

I have yet to see a bookstore that will let you mangle the magazines, spill coffee on them, and put them back on the shelves...

I have never understood that mentality as to why the US still hasn't gone to a socialised healthcare system

with hundreds of billions that could be dumped into it every year, every person would get the same quality of treatment without being stuck on a waiting list like us Canadians have to deal with since we don't have the facilities due to a much lower influx of tax funding every year.

This is a national firm and I’d worked with them before but in another city. They’d even found a permanent job for me in the past which means they did a reference check and a background search and no issues were found.

The receptionist (who collects the forms) and the recruiter still insisted that I put down my SS# on their form. I would have provided them this information if they didn’t have it but I felt I was being pressured to provide personal information for no good reason.

Should I have given my SS#?

OMG " it all sprang out of nothing in a single instant and for no apparent reason "

@ aremeself...

Seen any reports about antibiotic-resistant bacteria lately...? That's evolution in action.

Look at a poodle, or a chihuahua, or a pit bull - they are products of evolution by artificial selection... so why is evolution by natural selection so hard to accept...?

Also not true. Scientists have observed bacterial flagellum which have incredibly small, yet efficient, mechanical parts that function at near optimal efficiency given their size and make up. A perfectly reasonable theory is that something designed these, and that they didn't just come about out of random chance.

If the answer is forty-two, what does that mean?

I believe that ID is a theory, but not evolution. Evolution is a fact.

I don't want to be agaisnt either, but if I'm toe-toe with someone I'd rather them have a gun.

Broadcast stations sill blimp it so it seems that the FCC still has a problem with it

Judging by your post, I'd say you guys in the US had better turn things around before you descend into another dark age.

I know that religious leaders are opposed, but they aren't enough to persuade the boards to not teach the theory.

in the same sense that if we found a secret underground city, it would give credit to the thought that molemen live under us.

if we found life on one other body in this system it would give credit to the line of thinking.

As always, my way of thinking is clear- we have found no evidence that the universe is anything but hostile to the only form of life we know- we have found no evidence that the universe can sustain life outside of Earth- and we have found no evidence of intelligent life outside of the Homo genus. These facts are indisputable.

and so should those dolts who think their kids drinking at home is a good way to teach them to handle alcohol

I don't know of any state whose law makes the age of majority older than 18. I doubt it could--it would be unconstitutional for any state to require people to be older than 18 to vote, for example. And the law can't make a parent liable for what someone who's not a minor child in their care does. The 18-year old who gets drunk and drives is no less responsible for the consequences than someone 28 or 48 who does it.

There are several definitions depending whether you're dealing with a state or federal law. Here are the most commonly accepted definitions of minors, children and juveniles:

Minors or Minority Definition:
The term generally refers to anyone who has not reached full age to vote, buy alcoholic beverages, join the military, sign legal contracts and and so forth. Exactly when someone is a minor depends on the issue at hand.
An 18 year old is considered an adult when voting, joining the military, signing credit contracts and so forth.
Only people 21 years of age can purchase alcohol thus a 20 year old is still a minor in this category.
Minority is the preferred legal term because it encompasses the full range of persons who fall into underage categories such as children, infant, juvenile, young person, pupil and so forth.
Children or Child Definition:
A person who has not reached the age of 14 is considered a "child of tender age". Just to clarify, children lose their status as a child of tender age on their 14th birthday. However, in some jurisdictions the term includes children up to the age of 21 in areas such as child custody and child support.
Juvenile Definition:
Generally this refers to people between the ages of 14 and 17. They lose their juvenile status on their 18th birthday.

The age of majority was set by Federal law in 1972 as an outgrowth of protests during the Vietnam War. Congress, after much hullaballoo, decided and agreed with the people, that if you were old enough to go to war, and die for your country, then you should have all of the rights and privileges of adults who, before 1972, had to be 21 years of age. So, in 1972, the law was changed to 18 years of age for "most" privileges - buying alcohol, gambling, etc., being notable exceptions to the 18 years of age law.

The Law needs to do a better job making individuals more responsible for making their own decisions.

If you make the parents accountable for the childs decision then the child isn't accountable for his mistake.

You are from the same generation I am. So, after high school most girls in our age group either got married or went to work. Very few went to college. You obviously chose work.

I don't think I'm broken, flawed, etc. So what gives with the red flags and the older crowd!

We see hear and read science fiction and fantasy stories that later on do not seem to be as far fetched, or imaginative as when they originally came out? Are we being subliminally conditioned for future events and encounters? Or mere farsighted coincidences?

Place the same kind of effort that was poured into WW2, where R+D research was pushed in ALL sectors. (Some poster felt R+D was shut off during the war...nothing further from the truth.That loses wars, which the Germans and the Japanese both found out!)

Did America "go broke" then? No, of course not...it came out with a very healthy economy. With a space program....

And now we have another endless war...terror...it fuels the military industrial complex...how fitting since the USSR no longer exists.

V-1, V-2, long (er) range bombers, atomic bomb, radar....all fueled by R&D during wartime...

The cold War...all kinds of economic benefits, because it was on a broad scale.

check the numbers for yourself...the 1930's were horrible...and no end in sight...until WW2 broke out.
These small "bushfire" wars we have now are nothing compared to real all out wars, which is where the economy gets greatly affected.

Hey...I always thought it was a bit of an oxymoron. But...war makes jobs, strengthens the economy.

Nobody has a better idea. Except for the speace program. Too many people oppose heavily funding it, because they mistakenly think it is a waste.

Appart than the inevitable "just switch" I'm going to get, I can't because of other stuff (work).

Thrums, my only alternative to them is t-mobile which wants a 2 year contract. The problem is there is no other cable/internet provider contract free in this part of Kentucky that l am aware of.

l tell you, l have never seen so many clueless people in one place in my life!

We ban Motorcycle helmets from areas of payment in our shops and i am sure if i dressed in black entered my bank with a balaclava hiding my face i would meet some resistance and rightly so.]/quote]

Yes! because they think you are going to rob them while trying to hide your identity from the security cameras. The ban on motorcycle helmets is purely for security reasons and has nothing to do with this thread.




During the 40's and 50's the majority of women in the UK wore head scarfs(including my mother) watch any movies depicting that era! Balaclavas are very useful items of clothing especially in winter in norther Scotland(I believe they were very popular with Scott's expedition in Antarctica!!!). I believe the anorak brigade(train spotters) of the 60's were the originators of the 'hoodie'.




Define 'sociably acceptable'? Here in Georgia(USA) you are only required to have a license plate displayed on the rear of the vehicle so may people display something else on the front. I have seen many Union Flags, Welsh Dragons, Scottish Saltires(white X-shaped cross on blue background) and Lion Rampant's where the front license plate would be. Why is that any different to an item of national costume(here Highland Games are very popular with many people wearing kilts who have never been to Scotland and who's ancestors left there several generations ago)
Cinco de Meyo(not sure of the spelling) is a very popular holiday/celebration here(Mexican origin) as is St. Patrick's day(Irish).
People can integrate into a society without completely giving up their cultural heritage.




What is YOUR culture, is that of the Anglos, Saxons, Normans or Vikings not forgetting all the other citizens of the former empire who choose to make the UK home. Integration means adding your culture to what is already there and creating something a little different not throwing it away completely and adopting something new.

a little sub can go and cut a cable, or someone can take down a satellite.

In the United States, you are allowed to vote only if you are 18 years of age or older. Now consider two teenagers, virtually identical in every respect, except one of the teenagers just celebrated his eighteenth birthday yesterday, while the other teenager will be celebrating his eighteenth birthday tomorrow. Today is election day. And even though the two teenagers are virtually identical in every respect, only one of them is allowed to vote -- a clear violation of the Directive of Equality! If one of two virtually identical teenagers is granted a right to vote, then the other teenager should also be granted a similar voting right. But not so in America!

Forgive the length but l really need some help here. 3 months ago, my internet/cable provided shut off my service due to open ports. The abuse department runs scans and when they find ports open they cut you off to get your attention. To date they have cut me off 3 times.

There are 9 ports open and l have done all they asked me to do, wiped hard drive, bypassed wireless, reset Windows firewall to default and installed a new anti-virus prg with additional firewalls.

The cable company wants the ports closed. Okay so do l

They are as clueless as l am. This is not good.

My Dell Inspiron laptop is so slow, I don't know whether to retire it-its 4-5 years old, and so slow, its ridiculous.

Is it time for the office supply store tune up

I need something electronic to edit videos

Some of them do live in Switzerland, as many of the rich can afford more than one residence.

The reason some people get convicted of murder is for two justifiable reasons:
1) They pursued the person off the property and then killed the perp. If the guy is running away (especially off the property) then he no longer poses a threat to you and you are committing a murder.

2) The homeowner deliberately ambushes the perp. If you here someone trying to get into your home and you hide beside the door, wait for the punk to gain entry, and then promptly blow his brains out then you committed a murder.

The law is viewed from the perspective of what a reasonable and prudent person would do in the same circumstances. Most reasonable and prudent people would not do either of the two scenarios above.

If a woman is interested, she will fav you, she will view you multiple times....she WILL show you she is interested.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I have read and heard, it is my understanding that a pedophile cannot be rehabilitated. IF that is true, and a convicted pedophile receives a less than "Life In Prison" sentence, (i.e., 5-10-20 years) why do we release them?

Given the nature of the crime, it isn't like a bank robber recommitting the same offense. This is releasing a person that we know will hurt/sexually abuse/kill an innocent child, and the only question is when.

My ex-neighbor is from Germany. He has been in this country for over 40 years and he has his greencard. People who have greencards need to either be required to become citizens after a period or time or return to their countries of origin. .

Being in this country for over 40 years and not being a citizen is insane

Speaking of "not quite right"... your supposed advantage to duel citizenship cracks me up.

Citizens of the US aren't deported, Einstein! That is one of the advantages of citizenship.
