Yes, it can be done after the fact. You can close the disc with a DVD 
burning program (Nero) and a DVDR drive, or your set-top box probably has 
some option to do it.

I'm just starting to look into this, but maybe someone here knows the 
answer already.  I have a set-top DVD Burner, a Samsung DVD-R120.  Got it 
for only 80 bucks and used it hooked up to a VCR to copy over tapes.  Does 
a pretty good job.  However, I recently slapped it into my computer 
(actually both computers) and neither sees the disk at all.  Doesn't play 
and won't show up any file listing (MCE just hangs).  Do set-top DVD 
recorders use some sort of different format?  I'm using the same disks for 
all my DVD burners (-R).


ThanksSteve

What I got out of this long ass  thread was the biodiesel and the TDI. Wife 
needs a better ride. I just recently discovered that Delaware will cover 
50% of the cost of a solar roof which they make "solar shingles" and a new 
roof would be nice. Did I mention that my power co is going to raise rates 
60% this summer?


Oh, the standard of living in the USA is driving the world up. China is

it has been going since. We empower people and countries. If I buy 3 MP3

many jobs across the globe. Nothing to feel bad about that.

Really? While I don't think mankind can blow up the earth like a death star

that humans (and humans alone) can not affect the environment. Maybe not on 
a global scale, but lets take Mexico City for example - the air in that area 
bears the uncanny resemblance to a cancer-stricken large intestine. Does 
Mother Nature just have a beef with Mexico and farts on her capital 
constantly? Or could it just possibly be, and this is a HUGE STRETCH, that 
the rampant pollution from industry is taking its toll on the city?

P.S.  The first thing to go should be the bag on demand. It should be
outlawed. Vender will be more than willing to sell you a reusable bag
for your convenience, if you forget to bring one with you.

Just like the pop top was outlawed.  You don't see any more pop tops on

Yes. It means I eat the freshest food. Because I shop almost daily (5 out
of 7, or so...), I know what just came in. I get to know the butcher,
baker, candlestick maker; because I see them regularly. It's a nice way
to shop, kinda old world.  Turn off the TV.  Talk to your butcher  :)

no proof, a volcanic eruption can do more damage in a day then cars in 1000 
years, besides, the earth is pretty good at using it's left hand.
need to get off save the planet, the planet is just fine and will always be 
just fine, until the next mass extinction.
the earth is not overpopulated, google earth proofs that. besides mother nature 
does a good job of wiping out the excess when need be.

I not sure how to interpret this. Is it a slam in Islam? Because they
use one hand for eating and one for wiping.

Is it a political statement? Like I'm a commie because I  care

I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear. You should drive what you want, but
the true cost of driving it should be carried by you. There is no cost
added to your need to drive a big fat V8 for the damage it does to the
planet. No matter how good it is, it pollutes more than smaller ones and
should be priced accordingly. No motor vehicle on the road is so priced.
No appliance, or any other "consumable" has the true planet view cost
reflected in it's price.

The debt will be paid by someone, and it's immoral to shove it off on the
future. That's the fact an already overcrowded planet needs to wake up
to and fast.

As for my pie in the sky requirements, is wanting non bleached paper on
the shelf next to the higher priced (to reflect the true environment cost)
bleached paper so out of line?

FROM:

"But I'm not about to feel guilty for buying and driving a vehicle I like 
and

can afford."

Paraphrase:

Of the things to consider, the environment is not a factor. I have the
bucks and I want it. After all, it's all about me.

"Until then (the pie in the shy perfect electric car), I'm going to buy
vehicles with big fat V8's."

I have a justification for my excess, because there is no alternative I
like. Because it's all about me, remember?



I don't feel guilty. Not one bit. With regards to the environment, I'm in 
the process of buying a new car with a bit fat V8 that meets ULEV/ULEV-II 
emissions standards. It emits less pollution than small displacement four or 
six cylinder motors of just a few years ago. That's more than good enough to 
let me sleep at night.


Are you saying I should spend tens of thousands to buy an inferior vehicle 
that I won't like? That's asinine. I may have "pie in the sky" requirements 
before alternative energy cars are appealing to me, yes, but you have "pie 
in the sky" requirements about life itself.


I'm a big advocate for non-fossil-fuel sourced energy. I wish that PZEV/ZEV 
vehicles existed that could meet my basic requirements. And someday, they 
will--and I'll be the first in line to buy one.

P.S.

Let me say, if one wants to drive a big fat V8, I believe in freedom.
Please drive one.  

But that driver should pay for the extra pollution. 

It's the pricing system that does not reflect the true cost of driving
that big V8.

Hey ppl,

Lots of good replies from the group; 

FROM:

"But I'm not about to feel guilty for buying and driving a vehicle I like and 
can afford."

Paraphrase:

Of the things to consider, the environment is not a factor. I have the
bucks and I want it. After all, it's all about me. 

"Until then (the pie in the shy perfect electric car), I'm going to buy
vehicles with big fat V8's."

I have a justification for my excess, because there is no alternative I
like. Because it's all about me, remember?

TO:

The most enlightened comment of the discussion:

"I think that's his point.  Either you honestly don't feel guilty, or 
you choose not too.  The question is - shouldn't one feel guilty 
about buying more of anything than one needs when there are other 
people in one's own country (I'm not talking Africa, I'm talking 
Canada and the US) who can't afford what they need?  Shouldn't one 
buy the vehicle one needs and then use any money saved on helping 
someone else?  I don't have an answer to this, and I certainly buy 
more than I need.  But I think in a world of finite resources, our 
consume as much as we can mentality is going to take us down a bad road."


Most got sidetracked with the 2500 lb error, which should have been
3500+ lb. 

A good side discussion on alternate energy was started.

But there was little on the idea of excessive lifestyle. Here is an
example:

Has anyone reading this ever tried to get unbleached butt-wipe paper?
Whenever I ask, I'm looked at like I'm crazy.

The bleaching process is tough on the environment. and unnecessary.
Butt-wipe paper should be made of almost 100% recycled paper and most of
all unbleached. 

"Yuck.  I'm not wiping my ass with that!", Nothing but pure white paper
touches my ass; (to use 2 seconds and flush away)."

(I have had ppl react to the suggestion of unbleached TP; just that way.)

This is the kind of excessive lifestyle that is crammed down our ears by
the marketers.

Ever notice how much toothpaste is put on the toothbrush in the
commercial? It has to be at least three times what one would need. This
subconscious brow beating to excess is everywhere in advertizing.

Leading us back to my comment  

Blind greed capitalism has the Western Culture (double for Americans)
hoodwinked into thinking bigger, faster, more, and the some more after
that is the way to a happy life.


Buy now;  and save.



regards,
Al
