what's the recommended software for ripping dvds on Windows nowadays? I haven't ripped any since 2010 or so, and then it was DVDfab and Handbrake.

This is my first computer without an optical drive, built it in a 4u rackmount case ostensibly for when I get a rack for computer/music gear, but mainly so it's heavy enough to kill a man with.

Its the rock crushing scene from The Crucible but instead of rocks its something adding more blades to a blade chassis set on top of Giles Corey

fark was my main comedy website when i was a dumb teen on the internet and for some reason i thought somethingawful and slashdot were the same site and every once in a while i would go to slashdot on my own (instead of following a fark article link) expecting a front page with funny jokes and then being really disappointed because slashdot wasn't being funny that day

Kitfox88 posted:my first time installing new hardware, specifically a voodoo 3 2000 so I could play deus ex I discovered what I think is the world of lovely power supplies when I installed a GeForce 2 into an off the shelf HP to run quake 3 better. I had to keep the weird access bay with the CD drive and floppy drive slid out because the card was so long in the weird form factor of the case. Q3 would load and run for about 5 seconds before locking up.

Gotta get paid, don't blame you at all. The hype was very funny because a buddy of mine bought some LCD shutter 3d glasses that worked with his regular rear end CRT monitor back in like '99.

I had heard AdBlock was selling access to their whitelist to ad companies, but didn't know where that first came out.
