  2. Re:Everyone In The UK Has Region Free Players Anyw on Spielberg Bitten by DVD Encryption · · Score: 1

    I'm sure if this particular player had a code to change the region, they would have already sent letters with the code to everyone who received this dvd.
    That would be why though most of my components are Sony, my dvd player is not.
    I have the Philips dvd642 that plays divx too.

    God: "Bender, being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you. And if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch, like a safecracker or a pickpocket."
    Bender: "Or a guy who burns down a bar for the insurance money!"
    God: "Yes, if you make it look like an electrical thing. When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."

    I believe there's a God, and forces in the world we don't understand. (raised Methodist)
    What I don't believe in is every exact verse in the Bible.
    After all, it was written by fallable humans thousands of years ago and translated and edited and everything else.
    Besides, 7 days or 7 billion years to make the world, what difference would it make to Him?
    Too many wars have happened because groups disagree about what God wants.
    Violence and hatred towards others in God's name is still wrong.
    Right and wrong is in your heart, not a book. If you know that the guy next to you would not enjoy being beaten up and having his wallet stolen, then you know it must be wrong.
    To bad everyone can't just play nice, worship or not however they please, and let others do the same.

    Yeah, my Canon F60 printhead is like that, easy to get out.
    When I was battling those godawful Lexmark cartridges, sometimes scrubbing with a q-tip and peroxide would unclog it.
    You can also buy a bottle of print head cleaner to soak it in, assuming you can get the darn thing out. I'll take that as a vote against Epson...

    Lexmarks clog if you look at them funny. My Canon don't. Four separarate cartridges with no electronics in the cartridges, so cheap to replace.

    Most of what they have was filmed in 4x3. The major networks are not going to suddenly limit themselves to only 16x9 and change their whole schedule. As more and more new episodes are filmed in 16x9 you'll see more.
    Comcast near Atlanta just added TNT in HD. For some reason they are stretching all 4x3 into 16x9. Now that's REALLY annoying.

  23. Re:but... on US CD Sales Increase in 2004 · · Score: 1

    You probably have to go to the right place to find copied cds etc in the U.S. When I was a kid, it was the flea market. You could buy a cassette of Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet at the store for $8, or $4 in the flea market. But it was still a case of you get what you pay for.
    Sound quality was slightly less, and the flea market tapes would have a color photocopy of the visible artwork and nothing else on the inside, so you got no lyrics etc. Thus 99% of my rack of cassettes from the time are real.
    Now the digital sound on copied cds should be perfect, but I bet they still cut corners, which I don't care for.

    There were some Apple IIc's in the elementary school by the time I was in 4th or 5th grade. (I'm 30 now.) Kids got to play educational spelling and math games etc. Then I got an Apple IIgs at home. So I started programming in Basic in 6th grade. Typed my essays on that computer too. I'd call that a much better start than starting at college.
