This feature has been working and not working on the various boxes in my home for over a year...Not consistent. Some had it removed long ago and some still have it today. It has been like this for a while now, unchanged.
For my use this feature was less about the VCR, of course, there are other uses of this feature.
For one, Record works as a good Alarm Clock, my box turned the Television that was plugged into the outlet on and pumped the volume to 100%.. This worked great!
The Record feature is also superior to the boxes default 'reminder', even without a VCR, because it changes the television to the channel you want instead of just showing a passive reminder you can easily miss if you are looking away and just listening to the TV..
Friends of mine in Finland and the region talk about a resurgence in CB usage as of late. Apparently it is becoming a big thing to have a ham license as well....
If only the same interest came back to America! A little over 15 years ago my CB was constantly amusing, filled with plenty of discussions. Now I rarely get anything, even after hours of listening/scanning.
...I will not use fluorescent lights in my home. My eyes are sensitive and they give me a headache, take too long to reach proper brightness, use mercury, and plus the color is off. I'd have switched to LED light, even with the higher prices, if they actually put out enough lumens. The highest I could find only put out the light equivalent of a 10-40W incandescent....
Oh, you can see the lights flickering?! Wow that sure is sensitive! (those headaches couldn't be related to over-illumination, improper mixing of color temperatures, of course)
I can only see the 'too long to reach proper brightness' problem rarely being a problem. They take at most 5-10 seconds to reach full output these days, and before that point they provide a large amount of illumination... more than enough for any task you could be engaged in within 5 seconds of turning a light on.
You can get fluorescent bulbs in a giant variety of color temperatures...just like incandescent bulbs. The claim that 'the color is off' is foolish, you just didn't choose the right bulb for your tastes. Research!

Hmm, yeah I'd totally agree, using Alexa to determine the viewership of slashdot is 100% viable.
I remember watching this done on a modern human over 10 years years ago on discovery networks... it was very cool.
from his wiki article:
"In 1994, Brier and a colleague, Ronald Wade, director of the State Anatomy Board of Maryland, claimed to be the first people in 2,000 years to mummify a human cadaver using ancient Egyptian techniques. This research earned Brier the affectionate nickname "Mr. Mummy" and was also the subject of the National Geographic television special of the same name."

lame.
What in the hell is wrong with this world when people get death threats over an issue like this?
death threats REALLY?!
*shakes his head*
Not surprising it powers a town in Texas....
It is like the old version of IRC.... you can talk to strangers from all over.

thanks for the update
.CRI, Color Temp, Initial Illumination, Time to Full Output. None of that data is available, and it makes purchasing a random event.
Random?
Apart from the slow to startup thing which is not really a problem.....
CRI and Color Temp are hardly random..
for example, this website http://www.bulbs.com/Spirals_&_Bent_Tubes/results.aspx tells me the CRI and color temp for nearly every product! Truly random indeed!

Maybe Doc Brown just got the name wrong?!
This sounds like an interesting idea to me.
Just think, if they have done this many lines with an intimidating atmosphere how many millions will be made with a friendly one!
Majority means more than 50%.

OK.. Now that USENET is dead.. is it safe to let the secret out?
USENET WAS GREAT.
Will this type of thing be of any use in fixing that problem people have with color?
