Mike Bloomberg Not running for Pres

Mike Bloomberg declines to run from Pres, says he'll endorse the existing major party candidate "who acts independent".

What about Lou Dobbs?

Historical fact: Dems Pres > ReThug Pres on economy

Historically in the 20th Century, the Dem Presidents' record ethers that of the ReThugs on the economy.

That's FACT!

enterprise software/supply chain management blogs

These blogs have good articles on enterprise software & supply chain management.

It will be interesting to see if the trend of enterprise software bloggers, makes less relevant the "software industry analyst" industry of companies like AMR Research & Forrester.

Dodd endorses Obama here

Sen Chris Dodd, the leader on the fight against telecom immunity with FISA, became the 1st ex-Dem Pres. candidate to endorse 1 of the remaining cats.

Dodd endorses Obama here.

BTW, as G Jr noticed, Dodd seems to end every sentence with "here". He's no different here, here!

DVD backup

FYI, a friend of mine demonstrated to me how to use the following Windows OS-compatible softwares to backup his DVD collection. I believe these softwares are temp freewares for a limited time (60 days?) for evaluation, which eventually require a purchase, but I'm not sure.

Legal disclaimer: The following should be used to backup your own legally purchased DVDs, as opposed to other possible uses.

1 AnyDVD, which strips out the copyright/DRM protections on the DVD.
2 CloneDVD, which
2a allows you to select the "chapters" you want to burn. For example, you can deselect the commercials that often accompany the beginning of DVD movies, or say the "bonus scenes"
2b if necessary, it allows you to compress the data to fit on a standard 4.7 GB DVD-R disc, since many store bought DVDs use the 8GB DVD+R DL format.

Supposedly there's a 100% freeware for the Windows OS, DVD Shrink, but I have not used it/tried it.

Let me know if this helps.
