Don’t get saucy with me, Hansen.

I only came here because I felt this teen needed a mentor.

“Chris Hansen”? I’m John Stossel with ABC News, and you’ve been stung by an undercover investigation.

How do you respond to…

Wait a minute. Whose cameras are those?

And does anyone know how to rip those MP3s from the Sound Board? I’ll sell my soul. It’s not worth much, but it might be worth 5 min if your time. 🙂  
[/QUOTE]  
Download an audio program (like Goldwave) and you can record them directly to your soundcard. Then save the files as mp3 files.

I use Audacity to cut down full length MP3s so I can send them to my phone as ringtones, but I had no idea I could rip an mp3 off of a Java app with it.

[/QUOTE]  
It won’t actually rip it the way you rip music from a CD. You will have to allow the sound to play, and use Audacity to record it from the output of your sound card or onboard sound. Then, once you’ve recorded it, you can export to wav, mp3, etc.

Do you suppose that when Chris Hansen visits his favorite restaurant, the maitre-'d relishes saying “Hello, Chris Hansen, why don’t you take a seat over here?” 🙂

Is the one on tonight from New Jersey new? Because if so, Hansen seems to have turned the smug superiority up to eleven. He just walked up to some guy on the beach while wearing sunglasses and trendy suit with no socks. What a pompous pud. He’s also seemingly much more of a wiseass, which I didn’t think was possible. And they have added a bit where the female decoy explains how she expertly reelled them in. And did I just see a young Asian perp ram his head into the bar?
