Comment on High Quality DVD Copies with HandBrake by Matt

These days with digital download media providers like iTunes that allow you to purchase your content online and re-download it without the need to re-purchase it, surely one can argue that ripping a DVD IS an illegal act because you have chosen to purchase your media on a DISC that has the potential to spoil/break. If you want *true* guilt free media storage, then I would recommend purchasing your media from a digital provider not on a physical medium. The copyright warning at the start of a disc is written for a reason.
If Paramount, Universal and the other big (now) Big 4 studios really wanted to see remuneration for the content they create they would provide ALL their content on digital media providers, AND globally release all their content. (Seriously, why do they continue to think they make any headway by releasing a show to one country and then waiting a year to distribute it elsewhere?)Until that day, it is up to the individual to make the right choice based on the available options – regardless of whether the content creators have got their butts into gear.

Comment on Best Practice SEO: File Extension or No? by hk snyder

What about for an existing site that already has 1000s of inbound links to 1000s of pages that have the .html extensions? A change like this implemented at the time of a redesign will require 301 redirects for every page – right?

Great replies Chris. Just stumbled upon your thread as I'm switching to my new quad core iMac to back up my DVD library because it rips the DVDs in half the time than my old dual core HP does.
Until the movie companies offer a free exchange program for a ruined DVD, then I will *legally* back them up.
While others may choose to interpret the laws as what I'm doing as illegal, it is clearly an act of a reasonable person that is worried about the fragile nature of DVDs. Verbiage of a law that conflicts with another matters not. That's what judges are for. To protect us from the absurdity of powerful lobbies that would prefer you repeatedly buy the same DVD title over and over.
Once upon a time, after watching Monsters Inc. once, my son promptly sunk his teeth into it. Since that wasted $20, I've been a guilt free ripper.

Comment on MODx: Simply the Best CMS by Danielle Hilton

Thanks!
It's funny you say this because I am in the same boat. I love wordpress as a
CMS but I designed my portfolio site without wordpress integration. I've been
looking for a CMS that's lite but flexible. I'll have to give modx a try.
Thanks for blogging.
