MacTheRipper is an excellent OS X utility for copying your legally-acquired DVDs to hard drive. This might be useful when travelling, for example. It comes with a detailed manual, but some may wonder how to bypass DVD Player's Region Code check which says:
Drive Region Code
The disc region code does not match the drive region code. The drive region code must be changed to play this disc
Simply open System Preferences, click on "CDs & DVDs", and change the line which reads "When you insert a video DVD:" to MacTheRipper (for example).

AdSense for RSS example

I have decided to discontinue these ads, mainly because they seem more intrusive than the web-based variety. Dave Taylor also has an interesting article on AdSense for RSS.

Reset the HP 9100C Digital Sender's administrator password:
  1. Press SHIFT+ALT+Duplex (the button under the green and red buttons)
  2. Type "erase password please" (without quotes, but including spaces)
  3. Press OK
