Everything Else / McDonalds Wants To Redefine "McJob"...literally

« on: June 10, 2007, 12:04:44 pm »

Quote

Webster's dictionary defines McJob as, "a low-paying job that requires little skill and provides little opportunity for advancement," a definition that McDonalds' lobbyists are working overtime to overturn.

The company is leading a "word battle" on behalf of the wider service sector. The object, according to David Fairhurst, a senior vice-president of McDonald's, is to change the definition of McJob to "reflect a job that is stimulating, rewarding ... and offers skills that last a lifetime."

The Oxford English Dictionary, which specifically notes that McJobs are "unstimulating," claims that they track the popular usage of words, and do not respond to pressure from interest groups. What do you think? Tell us in the comments. — CAREY GREENBERG-BERGER

The Waste Land / bah

« on: June 09, 2007, 04:09:07 pm »

I've been spending the past couple hours trying to rip a dvd to my pc and convert it .avi.

so apparently all I needed to do was decrypt the files (which is actually a pretty fast process) and then rename the file extension to whatev. So, long story short, I wasted about 2 hours trying to convert the files when all I needed to do was right click>rename. :p

So...crap :p

edit...

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! The videos play fine EVERYWHERE on my PC except my Video editor (WMM) where it is jumping around from place to place. GAHHHHHHH! help

also calling some files "empty files" and refusing to import even though they work, again, EVERYWHERE ELSE

and

I know that somewhat into the songs, it seems to repeat. The song was made for machinima movies and to be used as snippets, but I still think it sounds alright.

And while I am here, I might as well plug -
