    Dvd Ripping Made Easy...kinda Of...

    What you need is Virtual Dub. I edit my AVIs with it all the time. I shaved the credits off of Akira one time a few months back, so I could fit it on a CD-R. With Virtual Dub, you can also degrade the audio to shrink the size, should you ever need to do that (I had to do it with my pirated copy of The Passion of Christ).

     

    Also, if you want to edit.ASF files, you will have to get Virtual Dub 1.3, which isn't hard at all if you're in the right DC hubs.

     

    EDIT: Also, I'd almost be willing to bet money that you're using Super DVD Ripper. I would have said EasyDivX, but it just sucks ass.

    Ok, kids, let's get a few drug facts straight.

     

    Coca leaves = These leaves are used in the cocaine-making process. Natives of Colombia and Peru used to chew on them while they worked for the slight boost in energy. Think of it as chewing tobacco in this country.

     

    Coca paste = Also called basuco. It can be smoked, and is not far from becoming the white powder that junkies everywhere love.

     

    Cocaine = Powder. It is snorted. A true kilo that's sealed in wax will dip in the middle. Most coke is usually "cut" several times with several different white, powdery substances referred to as "cutting agents." e.g. "The cocaine was cut with [insert name of odd substance here]."

     

    Crack = Highly refined cocaine (Meaning, all the little impurities are cooked out of it). It comes in "rocks" and is smoked. Since it's so much more pure, it's more addictive than coke. A dealer will buy some coke, then go to their kitchen, cook it into rocks, then go out and sell it.

     

    And something else that bugs the hell out of me: "Crack cocaine." How many other types of "crack" are there? "Crack heroin?" "Crack marijuana?" Please. "Crack" will suffice. Anyone who doesn't know what you're talking about needs to go out into the world.

    No. They mostly lie to us, really. Usually, when they find out that they could go to prison for not giving us the car, they calm down. Rarely, something like the story described above will happen.

     

    But still, it's not uncommon to see weird crap, such as some kid running dope with a go-cart.

    I've gotten some nice dope dealer's cars before.

     

    One of them was a Lexus that wouldn't run. This guy tried to say he was "gonna do something" if we didn't leave it alone. We pretended to call the cops. He ran in the house, got some clothes, threw them in a pimped out Cadillac and left. Shortly after that, this short, fat black woman was screaming "Get the weed out the house! Get the weed out the house!" to the other guys who were there. They got their crap together, threw it in another Cadillac, and fled. After that, it was just the woman and two kids, so we took the car and left.

     

    We estimated that those 3 guys had 30 lbs of pot in garbage sacks.

     

    But usually, there's nothing fancy.

    No owner of a rental chain/store in their right mind would ever endorse this. Why? Because of the late fees. That's serious cash, and they'd have to be retarded and crazy on acid to even consider cutting out late fees.

     

    I'll laugh when a the owners of some of these companies lose their shirts in the effort to combat piracy. As my DC description says, "The Traffic Never Stops."
