Woman crashes when teaching dog to drive

BEIJING (AP) — A woman in Hohhot, the capital of north China’s Inner Mongolia region, crashed her car while giving her dog a driving lesson, the official Xinhua News Agency said Monday.

No injuries were reported although both vehicles were slightly damaged, it said.

The woman, identified only be her surname, Li, said her dog “was fond of crouching on the steering wheel and often watched her drive,” according to Xinhua.

“She thought she would let the dog ‘have a try’ while she operated the accelerator and brake,” the report said. “They did not make it far before crashing into an oncoming car.”

Xinhua did not say what kind of dog or vehicles were involved but Li paid for repairs.

The truth about Atheism exposed.

“Where do you think American lawmakers got the idea that we shouldn’t murder, steal or rape? Answer: It’s in the Bible. I don’t recall any athiest book telling people not to comit these awful crimes.

BTW: I am not an athiest, but I am bummed on how they are percieved.

from here

so I got this network share at home and have been filling it up with stuff. I have been using only linux for my ipod shuffle. So I have been building up my mp3’s. I was doing the rather hard way for a while. Use sound converter to rip to ogg, then lame to convert to mp3. looked around for another way.

Used my windows VM for a while. It thinks the cd-rom in the ubuntu box is its own. I used WMP to rip to mp3, felt guilty about it. So in linux I am using two different ones.
KAudioCreator a pretty GUI one with sounds to let you know its progress.
but my favorite is abcde, it is a nifty little CLI program.

me happy now

I had been using windows and beyondTV for a while to capture, deit, and archive TV shows. Worked quite well, but it became apparent I was wasting time, disk space, and a bunch of DVD’s. Why have every family guy or futurama on disk when they play every day? After having over 1TB of shows I killed it. What I really needed was just a recording device like a VCR for my TV in linux, cuz I aint gonna waste a computer by putting windows on it.

So I got it now. Basically we use the cable co’s DVR to capture what we want. I use the coaxial out of the cable box to mirror what is showing on the DVR. Then with a simple command “cat /dev/video0 /share/tv/nameoffile.jpg” I am recording just as good as I was, but in linux. Quality is just as good, and I can run it remotely via ssh.

So my uber geeky do it all box will be moving to the kitchen here soon. Currently it is a 600GB raid 5 samba share, runs a XP virtual machine, records shows that I want, and will now become the TV in the kitchen that will mirror what we are watching in the living room. Purdy cool. Sure I could just put a TV in the kitchen, but how geeky is that?
