I'm looking for Blu-ray software that does a similar job as ConvertXToDVD.

Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Apparently Fred Phelps and clan plan on picketing her funeral.

it violates our developer guidelines by being offensive to large groups of people.

Why does it need to be a large group of people?!  How many is "large groups of people" so we know exactly what number not to go over.

Also, didn't they realize that a lot of people would be offended when they {Apple} proclaimed the app as "non offensive" which is how it got approved in the first place?!

Dame Elizabeth Taylor, one of the 20th Century's biggest movie stars, has died in Los Angeles at the age of 79.

The double Oscar-winning actress had a long history of ill health and was being treated for symptoms of congestive heart failure.

Her four children were with her when she died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, her publicist said.

In a statement, her son Michael Wilding called her "an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest".

"We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it," he continued.

"Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts."

Dame Elizabeth's most famous films included National Velvet, Cleopatra and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

She was equally well-known for her glamour and film partnership with Richard Burton, one of seven husbands.

In her prime, she was arguably one of the world's greatest actresses and most beautiful women.

Her colourful private life, screen success and Aids charity work ensured she was never far from the spotlight since finding fame at the age of 12.

The peak of her film career came in the 1950s and 1960s, with four Oscar nominations in a row from 1958 to 1961.

She lost out in her first three attempts - for Raintree County, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Suddenly, Last Summer - but triumphed at her fourth attempt with Butterfield 8.

Her second Oscar came in 1967 for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, one of 12 films with Burton.

She met the actor while filming 1963's Cleopatra - which became notorious as one of the most expensive films of all time, but which also sparked one of Hollywood's greatest romances.

Taylor had already been married four times - to Conrad Hilton Jr, Michael Wilding, Michael Todd and Eddie Fisher - before she wed Burton in 1964.

Their tempestuous relationship saw them divorce and remarry in 1975 before she moved on to further marriages with John W Warner and Larry Fortensky.

Her health problems began with a fall while filming her first hit film, National Velvet, which led to a lifetime of back problems.

A rare strain of pneumonia almost killed her in 1961 and she also battled addictions to alcohol and painkillers.

In the 1990s, she endured two hip replacement operations and another near-fatal bout of pneumonia and survived surgery for a benign brain tumour in 1997.

In 2004, it was revealed that she was suffering from congestive heart failure, with symptoms including fatigue and shortness of breath, and scoliosis, which twisted her spine.

But she continued to campaign for her Aids charity, which she set up in 1991 after the death of her friend and co-star Rock Hudson.

In addition to her four children - Michael Wilding, Christopher Wilding, Maria Burton-Carson and Liza Todd-Tivey - Dame Elizabeth is survived by 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

A private family funeral will be held later this week. Instead of flowers, the family has requested that contributions be made to the Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation.

British actress Joan Collins, who starred alongside Dame Elizabeth in the 2001 TV film These Old Broads, called her "the last of the True Hollywood Icons".

"A great beauty, a great actress and continually fascinating to the World throughout her tumultuous life and career. She will be missed," she added.

Singer George Michael said: "She also did a great deal in the last 25 yrs [sic] to help the world deal with the HIV epidemic. I am proud to have known her if only a little."

@DAB:

Definitely do not want to be a woman. This board admin must be looking for an explanation for his sexuality too hard - in the wrong place.

Actually, that's what most of us on the politics forum said.

We can't even get ENDA {Employment Non Discrimination Act} when most people agree that gays should have job protections.  ENDA {has had 4 names since 1970) has gone up for a vote every year since 1970 and has never been able to get passed, despite the huge support for it to pass from the public.

42 US states and the federal government allow discrimination against gays in countless areas; ie jobs, housing, banking, insurance, ect, etc, etc, etc

At least 38 of the US states specifically have constitutional amendments banning equality for gays in marriage/civil unions.

With these facts, tell me why I should believe gays will ever see equality even in the most basic terms.

It seems like there is something to do with your PC since you are having problems with 3 browsers.

No, it's one that you have to personally add.

HOWEVER, they do not allow racist or anti-semitic apps for any reason, EVER!!!!  They also labelled this app as "non offensive".

So, we {generic} can spread hate, as long as it's hate toward groups Apple think deserve it.

It'll still be another 10 million years before gays get equality under the law.

I use Facebook for keeping in contact/up to date with my family, since we live all over the world.

Other than that, I don't use it.

Considering you have 15 people downloading already, it's best to keep it as it is.

It depends on the type of upload.

We have some pretty big collection torrents here.

You could download just 1 series at a time.

You are all set.  :hug:

Ellen qualifies under the GLBT Theme rule.

As a side note for anyone reading this, while Ellen the sitcom qualifies as a whole, Ellen the talk show doesn't unless it's a specific episode relating to GLBT issue/topic.

That surprises me that a lesbian TV show wasn't approved here.

True, lesbian porn would never be approved, but a TV show about a lesbian still qualifies under GLBT themed.

If the girls don't get in on the act, as it were, then it's allowed here.

1 March 2011

Intel has completed its $7.68 billion acquisition of McAfee.

The completion of the deal, announced yesterday, follows approvals by the various boards of directors and stockholders, as well as reviews by the Federal Trade Commission, the European Commission, and other regulatory groups.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel, McAfee will become part of the company's Software and Services Group, run by senior vice president Renee James. McAfee president Dave DeWalt will report directly to James.

McAfee will continue to offer its own branded line of security products and maintain its own customers. The two companies said they're prepping the "first fruits" of their partnership to hit the market later this year.

The need for greater security across a greater array of devices was the driving force behind Intel's bid to pick up McAfee.
Pointing to the growing number of connected devices, from PCs to mobile phones to TVs to medical devices, the two companies have said that today's approach to security isn't enough. And with the mounting threat of cyberattacks, a new security framework that combines hardware, software, and services is needed.

Security itself has become a "third pillar of computing," according to the companies, on par with energy-efficient performance and connectivity as essential elements. Among other avenues, Intel is looking to bring security to silicon by integrating it at the hardware level before the operating system even comes into play. This core approach to security applies to both embedded products and mobile devices, the companies said.

"Security challenges put the future potential of computing at risk," James said in a statement. "The acquisition of McAfee adds not only world-leading security products and technologies to Intel's computing portfolio, but also brings incredibly talented people focused on delivering products and services that help make connecting to the mobile Internet safer and more secure."

Blogging about the completed acquisition yesterday, DeWalt said that Intel and McAfee will present a webinar in May to discuss how the two will partner to concentrate on security. McAfee will also have more to say at its Focus 2011 security conference in October.

Obama chose a gay guy to do the parties at the White House.

Was there any other sensible choice?!

But in this case, Breyer said, it would be wrong to "punish Westboro for seeking to communicate its views on matters of public concern."

There is no total right to say whatever you like.

You can not scream fire in a crowded theater no matter how much you want to.  Nor can you incite others to violence.  Nor can you make sexual or racial comments in the work place.

Free speech is not absolute, as countless Supreme Court cases prove, so why do they claim it is when dealing with homophobic hate speech?!

I like ID Pleasure.

It sounds like he went extremely over the top with the lube.  Just get him to use {from the what you said} a lot less of it.  Once the pair of you are in a rhythm and know each other's likes/dislikes, it will get a lot better.

Scented/flavored lubes tend to be sickly sweet smelling and gross tasting.
