As previously posted... iTunes sells more than music. Yesterday I stumbled across the A-team. That's right you can buy the first season (14-48 minute episodes) of the A-team for $28. Check out the sweet picture... when was the last time a t.v. show had character like Mr. T? Lost maybe cool and all but it can't hang with the cheesy one-liners and botched special effects / stunts produced more than 20 years ago.Not to out anyone... but Ed, the anti-.nerd has purchased episodes of the office via iTunes. Do you know if you can back up the episodes to disk? When you purchase an audio album from iTunes you can burn up to 5 copies to CD without DRM allowing you to share your music. Have you tried to burn them to CD... can you share your episodes of the office?
Anyway, I could see giving the gift of the A-team to friends and family this holiday season... nothing like a little Mr. T to keep you warm and cozy around the Christmas tree.
Was that the first official outing on G-Town Love? Has Eddie engaged in any other illicit .nerd activities?
ReplyDeleteThis is not an outing: Purchasing Season 3 of the office was not a .nerd moment. It was a neccessity, I did not have Tivo at the time and it was the only way to guarentee I get to see every episode.
ReplyDeleteA ".nerd" (see Erick) is something such as firefox because it makes viewing sites .00001 % better. I needed a Season 3 pass to The Office because it makes my life 100% better (i.e. sane)
I may ".nerd" a post on how much I hate typing "yxghdkyf" after a comment just to clear my name....
A little .nerd update: The next version of internet explorer (available now) is incorporating a lot of the features that make Firefox so great... so like or not technophobe, you will soon be enlightened by tabbed browsing and a built in RSS feed reader.
ReplyDeleteAlso I purchased an episode of Grey's Anatomy over the weekend because our DVR went unplugged while we scrapped wallpaper off our living room... and the ABC website crapped out half way through. I haven't tried to burn it yet, maybe tonight.
You can watch old episodes of The Office on Youtube for free.
ReplyDeleteBut to continue the in the .nerd direction, what is a good program that will allow me to write borrowed or rented DVD's onto blank disks? I recently got a good laptop and an advertisement advising against media piracy reminded me to look into it.
I can email you a couple of programs I've used in the past... but beware it's a time consuming process. If you just rip a DVD straight up your going to get a file size ranging from 3-6 gigs (even after you drop extras, menus, subtitles / translations). If you got a big hard drive maybe you can keep a few.
ReplyDeleteThe secret to backing these files up is compression. I've used Dr. Divx which takes a couple of hours to run... but ends up giving you a file you can fit on to one DVD.
The brit has some friends with experience in this... any advice Andy?
