There is also an overlooked feature in VLC that allows you to rip your DVDs as well. Here we will take a look at how to rip DVD movies with VLC for Windows.

Musicovery December 2007 How to get on a bus: idiot's guide publishedBy Sophie Borland An idiot’s guide explaining how to get on and off a bus has been produced for people who have a phobia of public transport. Bryony Gordon: Only an idiot would take the bus According to Stagecoach, which has created the step-by-step manual, a large proportion of Britain’s population are now so used to travelling by car that they have become scared of buses.

The guide begins reassuringly with: “Using the bus could not be easier.” It goes on to warn that passengers should “first of all decide on what bus you need” and once the right bus has been spotted, with the “number and destination on the front”, one should then “signal for the driver to stop.” The guide continues: “Wait until the bus is stopped and the doors are fully opened and step on board.”

How to Fix Your Relatives' Terrible Computer HOLY CRAP. Windows CDs are possibly the most dangerous things a person could get their hands on. I work in a computer repair shop and a good percentage of the system problems we have are caused by morons that installed Windows OVER their recovery partition (I mean, yes, into an ~8gb partition, with their original Windows inactive in the big 150gb partition next to it that they're unaware of), or tried "repairing" it with an old XP Pro Corp CD they had laying around. And here, this article is saying to just "run it, erase partitions, let it do its thing"?! Without any regard to what type (home/pro, oem/retail) the disc is? Rule of thumb: ALL SYSTEMS have a recovery partition, with few exceptions. But to tell people to just grab a Windows CD?

10 Convicts Presumed Innocent After Execution Crime English jurist William Blackstone once said, “Better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.” Even lawyers are indoctrinated with this concept early in law school. Whether you support with the death penalty or not, most individuals would agree with the statement above. Despite the United State’s innocent-until-proven-guilty legal system, there are several cases where a presumably innocent person is convicted of a crime, some even put to death. Carlos De Luna Executed in 1989 In February 1983, Wanda Lopez, was stabbed to death during her night shift at the gas station where she worked. At trial De Luna named Carlos Hernandez as the man he saw inside the gas station, across the street from the bar where De Luna had been drinking. Larry Griffin Executed in 1995 On June 26, 1980 in St. Griffin’s fingerprints were not found on the car or the weapon – all evidence against him was circumstantial. Ruben Cantu Executed in 1993 David Spence Executed 1997 Jesse Tafero Leo Jones
