DVD Burners and lying liars.

About half way through writing a quick tutorial of DVD ripping/shrinking/burning.
With the president and his cabinet, when are they ever going to call these liars liars?  They lie about everything!

Social Security, it will be backrupt in 2042, well, that is a plain lie.

Amtrak, cutting money will create competition, well, it will just bankrupt the railroad, and if another 9/11 happens, we have no other interstate transportation system other than cars and busses.  Good idea.

Invasion and Occupation of Iraq, it is going well, and we are training the iraqis to defend themselves.  This is just a lie too, we will be there for the next decade and it will cost us about a trillion dollars.
Luckily, the right wing media does not report this.

Still Alive

Been a while since I have blogged, but I have a good reason, I have a new job!  I am now a manufacturing engineer at a company called Grayhill.  In case you didn’t know, in real life, I am an electronics engineer.  I have been working here for about a week now, and it has been pretty interesting so far.
On the computer front, my wife bought me, as a present for getting a new job, a DVD burner.  It is an NEC dual laywer drive.  For anyone who doesn’t have one, spend the 70 bucks and buy a DVD burner.  If you use it for just backups, it is worth it.  I have also figured out how to shrink DVD9 to DVD5 movies.  I will post a tutorial later under the Linux section, since I have no idea how to do it under windows.

On the political front, yeesh, just as I thought.  The second term of the shrub will somehow, be worse than the first.  200 billion for Iraq, and nothing for Amtrak or the needy childern in the U.S.A.  What at sick joke.

Well, enough of depressing stuff, I am enjoying my much shorter trips to work and more money.
