  1. one more reason why i hate ipods.
  2. knoppix auditor is the only live distro that i use regularly. and i have ubuntu installed on my laptop, along with windoze.
  3. you could just get a laptop cooling pad that would help the burning balls problem they're cheap and usb powered i just glued 4 velcro squares to the bottom of my lappy and it holds nice and tight. if by too hot you mean the processor is running too hot then you may have a bigger problem. but if its running a pentium m or a core 2 due these ae desinged to run cooler and with less power. so if its running hot you need to check it out.

    rip dvds

    if you have anydvd running you dont need to use a seperate program to rip the .vob files you can just copy and paste them wherever you want you can save them to your harddrive to be encoded later or you can just simply drag them into any dvd burning program. when you look at the vob files on the disk you can pick out which ones are the movie and which ones are extras like previews and commentaries. the main feature is always broken up into seperate .vob files its never one continous file. if you are unsure which ones are the main feature you can use VLC player (which is free to download) to play the raw .vob files. that way you can see whats what before you burn them to a disk or convert them. this comes in handy beacuse instead of burning the whole dvd you can save space by just burning the main feature.

    hacking

    yes read read read thats the key. the "hacking exposed" series might interest you and they also come with nice little dvd's to. also if you are interested in hacking learning a little programming is also going to be good for you. and forums like these are aloso a great place to ask questions. also you might want to setup your own little home network and practice there, its great to expiriment on your own stuff because you can see whats going on from both ends. and another book i would recomend is The pyscology of persuasion: How to persuade others to your way of thinking. its a must have for any great social engineer. oh and read some books on tcp/ip

    rip dvds

    well since we have consumer rights to "backup" our paid for content i dont see anything wrong with ripping a copy to your harddrive. i do it all the time. what works best for me is a nifty little program called Any DVD, this automatically removes DRM from any dvd, or cd that you have in your drive. then i select the proper .vob files from the dvd and run them through divx converter. and voila. i have a perfectly good dvd quality movie ready to be played. the good thing about using divx is that it compresses the movie down to around a gig. and alot of new dvd players support divx so you can burn 8 movies in divx format to a single dual layer dvd ready to be played.
  7. i think you need to set the emailfrom and emailto address as the same. thats how i do it and when i recieve the emails its says from "me" that might be the problem.
