Catholic Golf
June 24th, 2009 by ThomasCatholic or not you have to laugh at this one.
A Catholic priest and a nun were taking a rare afternoon off and enjoying a round of golf. The priest stepped up to the first tee and took a mighty swing. He missed the ball entirely and said “Shit, I missed.”
The good Sister told him to watch his language.
On his next swing, he missed again. “Shit, I missed.”
“Father, I’m not going to play with you if you keep swearing,”
the nun said tartly..
The priest promised to do better and the round continued. On the 4th tee, he misses again. The usual comment followed. Sister is really mad now and says, “Father John, God is going to strike you dead if you keep swearing like that.”
On the next tee, Father John swings and misses again.
“Shit, I missed.”
A terrible rumble is heard and a gigantic bolt of lightning comes out of the sky and strikes Sister Marie dead in her tracks.
And from the sky comes a booming voice …..
“Shit, I missed.”
Thanks goes to Michael for this one

Copying and Making DVD’s using Linux
June 17th, 2009 by ThomasCopying a DVD to an ISO file.
After this process you’ll have an iso file of the original DVD on your hard drive. If the original DVD is encoded so too will the iso be. The $HOME means to put the dvdrip.iso file in your home directory.
$ dd if=/dev/sr0 of=$HOME/dvdrip.iso
If this fails saying it can’t find your DVD drive try this one instead
$ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=$HOME/dvdrip.iso
This may not work on all DVD’s. If it fails you’ll need to install wine and dvdshrink or dvddecrypter to read and decode the dvd.
From VIDEO_TS to .iso
You need to have the VIDEO_TS data in a subdir(!!) from the root of the future dvd. If you used dvddecrypter or dvdshrink to create the files this command will create an iso you can burn to a blank DVD.
