 DD> SNORK ... get serious. Torrent sites are throughout the world. And
 DD> Usenet is ubiquitous. If someone posts it I can receive it. As to the
 DD> Gourmet Farmer, Poh's Kitchen and the second season of Luke Nguyen
 DD> (which I just downloaded) - they are available from www.abc.net.au/tv/
 DD> or www.youtube.com or www.sbs.com.au
 GJ> That sort of program is normally available for everyone to watch, but
 GJ> not necessarily to copy.

 DD> If I can stream it to my confuser I can capture it -- including
 DD> supposedly "uncopyable" You Tube videos. Take a look at

 DD> http://applian.com/freecorder4/download.php

I have carefully copied that, and later will feed it into my Internet
computer.  Thanks.

 DD> I've got your address firmly in hand. Pay no attention to those black
 DD> helicopters hovering over your neighbourhood.

Or the unexplained clicks that come on my phone, or that black car
that parks at the end of my street.  The man in it always ignores me
when I wish him a good day.
 
 GJ> Aha!  Now if only I could find that secret button or control to
 GJ> unlock the Region 4, and allow my player to show your Region "1" DVDs!

 DD> All the stuff I get/record/whatever is "region free" If it is not when
 DD> I burn the disc I have a program which strips the region "protection"
 DD> from the finished copy -- making it playable in any player. I was given
 DD> a movie I wanted to watch (an original UNCUT Froggish version of
 DD> Brigitte Bardot's "et Dieu créa la femme") which had a Region 2
 DD> notification on it. So, I popped it into my computer and made an
 DD> "archival backup" with the regional clap-trap removed.

Clever.  Very clever.  That "And God created woman" is something I
have not yet seen.

 DD> The American DVD Copy Control Association in California requires that
 DD> DVD-player manufacturers incorporate the regional-playback control
 DD> (RPC) system
 DD> û according to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, an
 DD> Australian government agency.

I picked up a movie in Hongkong which plays here, but I have just
examined it, and seen that it is not a DVD, but a Video CD.  I think
they are not regionally restricted.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05
 
      Title: Chicken Feet
 Categories: Chicken, Chinese, Offal, Tofu
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
           Chicken feet
           Oil for frying
           Pickled black beans
           Red fermented bean curd
           Garlic
           Hot pepper
 
  Put the chicken feet in a pot of boiling water for about 5 min. Then
  deep-fry the chicken feet first (it's called Jau (running) Yau (oil))
  a little bit (how long? I haven't tried that, but I think it should
  be until the skin begins to swell). Then heat up the wok, add oil,
  (pickled) black beans, red fermented bean curd, garlic, stir fry a
  little bit, then put the chicken feet in, add hot pepper and some
  water, and put the cover over the wok and just cook. For how long, I
  imagine should be around 5-10 min. You can experiment on that.
