This is a great idea. My lappy is always way too hot. I am sure there is a way you could make the water cooling more user friendly. To keep it practical you would need to be able to have a heatskin that is connected to the stock cooling system exposed. This way you can hook up your water-cooling on the fly.
What if you made a massive heatsink that mounts on the back of your LCD. if you had the right copper tubing hooked up to the CPU heatsink you might be able to passively cool the laptop Kinda like those Zalman cases that go for a grand.
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.

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.

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

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.

good point however i recomended using Any dvd in combination with the Divx converter this way it uses the ac3 filter to automatically interlace the sound and video. the reson i use this combination is because Any dvd automatically removes DRM then i copy the .vob files right into divx converter and out pops a perfectly playable audio video interlaced divx file. it automatically puts them into one continuous playing file not separate files. another reason i like using divx converter is that it will convert to a high definition divx file if i choose. so i can stream high def content from my cable box to my pc hard drive and then convert it to a high def divx file that i can playback on my high def TV. i wouldnt recomend using dvd decrypter its an unessecary step and a waste of time when you can just use one simple program to do it all, and i say one program because Any dvd runs in the backround all you nned to do is convert. dont get me wrong im not saying that your method is bad im just telling you guys why i use what i use to convert, rip, and burn.
