DaemonFCschestowitz: I've thought of a solution to reduce the number of divorcesJan 30 00:09
DaemonFChave the judge flip a coin to decide who gets the property and again to decide who gets all the debtJan 30 00:09
DaemonFCI know it would discourage divorces if there was a good chance either one of them could end up with none of the property and all the marital debtJan 30 00:10
DaemonFCnow those may not be happy functioning marriages, but it looks good on the churches booksJan 30 00:10
DaemonFCInstead of 70% divorce rate, it would just be the 5% who are ballsy enough to try to get a court hearingJan 30 00:11

Chips_B_MalroyDaemonFC>  I was reading the log from the other day, where you were saying that Canada has negative growth rate of population, its only the immigration that increases the population there.  Are you aware that the same is happening here in the USA?Jan 30 00:18
Chips_B_MalroyAnd in Europe?Jan 30 00:18
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[schestowitz] @qu1j0t3 thanks, have a look at this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXL998q7skIJan 30 00:21
DaemonFCschestowitz: Caprica looks promisingJan 30 00:21
Chips_B_MalroyThe gov wants increased immigration, even if illegal.  It increases the tax base, have you ever seen the Gov long term cut spending?Jan 30 00:21
schestowitzChips_B_Malroy: probably true in the US, surely true in central and west EuropeJan 30 00:22
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy: They don't pay taxes.Jan 30 00:22
schestowitzRussia and neighbours have the 'problem' too... negative populatiom growth is actually OKJan 30 00:22
Chips_B_MalroyFrance for sureJan 30 00:22
Chips_B_Malroyyes, RussiaJan 30 00:22
DaemonFCAssuming that they do means you subscribe to the theory that they're on the books somehow (most of them anyway) and you have employers hiring 12 guys with the same Social Security card, drivers license, birth certificate, etc.Jan 30 00:23
DaemonFCMost of the illegals work cash under-the-tableJan 30 00:23
*goblin has quit (Read error: 60 (Operation timed out))Jan 30 00:23
DaemonFCno paper trail, no taxes paidJan 30 00:23
DaemonFCjust abusing taxpayer-funded safety net programs left and rightJan 30 00:23
DaemonFCmost of the ones who do pay taxes, do in fact file for returnsJan 30 00:24
DaemonFCand the government is too bloated and politically correct to use the tax documents as a paper trail for ICE Jan 30 00:24
Chips_B_MalroyDaemonFC>  I beg to differ, they the illegals do pay taxes.  Some do not file to get money back on social security or withholding tax.  Sales Tax anyone, u have to pay it everywhere.  They are so many taxes here, beyond payroll taxesJan 30 00:24
Chips_B_Malroygas taxes etcJan 30 00:25
DaemonFCso I would say that they are a huge drain on the whole, the few who do pay taxes and don't ever ask for a return are not making up for the drainJan 30 00:25
Chips_B_Malroywe tax everything here, moving or notJan 30 00:25
Chips_B_Malroywhich I had that Clinton link where she said thatJan 30 00:26
DaemonFCthey're not a positive, they're not a neutralJan 30 00:26
DaemonFCthey're a net loss for taxpayersJan 30 00:26
DaemonFCbecause American citizens have to pay more to cover for the abuse of federal and state programsJan 30 00:26
Chips_B_Malroywill yes, so is the lower class a net lossJan 30 00:26
Chips_B_Malroy*wellJan 30 00:27
Chips_B_Malroybut the corps love em, they are so exploitableJan 30 00:27
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy: On some level, I agree with just giving them all some kind of legal status, not citizenship right away, but enough to make them pay taxesJan 30 00:27
DaemonFCor at least make it too much trouble to bother evading taxesJan 30 00:27
DaemonFCor more troubleJan 30 00:27
DaemonFCor anything other than what we do nowJan 30 00:28
DaemonFCWhat made me laugh was one day when I was a manager at Walmart and I was in the break room to get a cup of coffee and this cashier walks in and shouts "Fucking beaners!", so someone else asked what happened, and apparently one of them was up at the customer service desk trying to return a stack of CDsJan 30 00:30
DaemonFConly there were no CDs in the casesJan 30 00:30
DaemonFCone of them spoke English and tried to tell me that they bought them and when they opened them up, the cases were emptyJan 30 00:31
Chips_B_MalroyI am against the wall being built, err, I mean the big fence.  The will just tunnel, cut the fence, boat over here, if better jobs are here for them.  The wall is just a handout to corps to build something that will surely fail.  Its also a kickback in the making for politicians with those corps that want to build it.  It is not the way.Jan 30 00:32
DaemonFCso I declined the return and told them that legally we are not allowed to accept them back after they were open and they'd have to call the record companiesJan 30 00:32
DaemonFCand take it up with themJan 30 00:32
DaemonFCwhich was technically a lie, I could have replaced them all with the same titles, but I wasn't going toJan 30 00:32
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy: There's actually a lot of illegal aliens who are leaving apparentlyJan 30 00:33
DaemonFCrecession, everyone down a notch, Americans begging for jobs that nobody would have wanted two years agoJan 30 00:34
-BNtwitter/#boycottnovell-[qu1j0t3] #followfriday @LucidGlow @schestowitz principled, gutsy people!Jan 30 00:34
Chips_B_MalroyBecause, things job wise sux hereJan 30 00:34
DaemonFCputs more downward pressure on the wages, the job competitionJan 30 00:34
DaemonFCwe turned off the illegal alien magnet by eviscerating our country and our standard of livingJan 30 00:34
Chips_B_Malroyand its cheaper for them to go back to Mexico and hunker downJan 30 00:34
DaemonFCyeah, they'll be back when things are betterJan 30 00:35
DaemonFCit's like locusts leaving a dead field that's been stripped downJan 30 00:35
DaemonFCthey'll be back when the vegetation grows in againJan 30 00:35
Chips_B_MalroyNorth American Treaty Alliance and the fact that the Gov looks the other way about illegals, is why the good jobs are goneJan 30 00:36

DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy: The goal of the fence is not to prevent illegal aliens from coming inJan 30 00:36
DaemonFCit's actually part of the "war on drugs"Jan 30 00:36
Chips_B_Malroyif they were made legal, at least they would qualify for protection from the corps under the lawJan 30 00:36
Chips_B_Malroyif the Gov put a stop to illegals after thatJan 30 00:37
DaemonFCthey want to corral drug runners that haven't bribed the right American politiciansJan 30 00:37
DaemonFCcatch themJan 30 00:37
DaemonFCand imprison themJan 30 00:37
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy: I favor total legalization of marijuana, and for growing a limited amount yourself, and taxation of it as a consumer productJan 30 00:38
DaemonFCsimilar to tobaccoJan 30 00:38
DaemonFCit would raise tax revenue, lower crime, and break the backs of these Mexican drug cartelsJan 30 00:38
DaemonFCand it's not like alcohol is any worseJan 30 00:38
Chips_B_MalroyDaemonFC> Chips_B_Malroy: The goal of the fence is not to prevent illegal aliens from coming in---yes, just like making Americans pay $120 for a passport to visit Canada and Mexico, stand in line at the Post Office, wait months to get said passport, was going stop terrorism, the Gov's reason for such.Jan 30 00:38
Chips_B_Malroyit was about moneyJan 30 00:39

DaemonFCand forcing you to have a federal IDJan 30 00:39
Chips_B_Malroyyes, that tooJan 30 00:39
DaemonFCthey want everyone to have a passport now because it's looking less and less like REAL ID is going to be implementedJan 30 00:39
DaemonFCeventually you'll need a passport to move between US states based on the "commerce clause"Jan 30 00:40
DaemonFCor somethingJan 30 00:40
DaemonFCit's about boxing us in, containing us, making sure we're all in bed at lights outJan 30 00:40
DaemonFCreally how much freedom do you have when the country you're in won't allow you to leave?Jan 30 00:41
Chips_B_MalroyIts easier to be an illegal here is some ways, as they can cross the border almost with less problems.  Not all, many do have serious problems crossing with the criminal element running thatJan 30 00:41
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy: Yeah, and for lesser crimes, they can just slip away while they're out on bail or whateverJan 30 00:42
DaemonFCmove to the next town over and come up with a new identityJan 30 00:42
Chips_B_MalroyWell the Republicians wanted to spend and build the wall/fence.  With skynet and everything.  And the Democrats want to do nothing, it seems.  Jan 30 00:44

DaemonFC"Controversy has arisen out the safe haven law enacted in Nebraska  in July 2008. The Nebraska law has been interpreted to define a child  as anyone under 18,[3]  and has resulted in the desertion of teenage children.[4]  The law was changed in November 2008, allowing infants up to  thirty-days old to be abandoned. Thirty-six children were dropped off in  Nebraska hospitals in a four month span. None were infants.[5]"Jan 30 01:04

DaemonFCbesides, Canada is a co-conspirator in any war crimes that have been committedJan 30 04:37
DaemonFCthey're just letting their courts chatter with mindless babble that doesn't bind the government to do anything to make people feel better about their collusion Jan 30 04:37
FurnaceBoyDaemonFC: ...Jan 30 04:38
DaemonFC"We strongly object, but won't order the other branches of government to do anything"Jan 30 04:38
DaemonFCwhat the hell does that accomplish?Jan 30 04:38
FurnaceBoyDaemonFC:  of course they are a co-conspiratorJan 30 04:38

FurnaceBoyDaemonFC: to avoid censure on that pointJan 30 04:39

FurnaceBoyyes, I can read.Jan 30 04:39
DaemonFCthe court is in on it with themJan 30 04:39
FurnaceBoyyou've given up on all law, haven't you.Jan 30 04:40

FurnaceBoyDaemonFC: what are the possible consequencesJan 30 04:42
FurnaceBoyDaemonFC:  for example, for the current governmentJan 30 04:42
DaemonFCthe government could refuse to comply I guessJan 30 04:43

DaemonFCif Obama does everything he's told to by certain people, he'll win re-election in 2012 no matter how many people don't like him or voted against himJan 30 04:48
DaemonFCand it's because of computerized votingJan 30 04:48
FurnaceBoyof courseJan 30 04:48
FurnaceBoybut there are even easier ways to win, namely control both candidates.Jan 30 04:49
FurnaceBoyan uncontrolled candidate can't enter your race.Jan 30 04:49
DaemonFCyeah, but the computers let them marginalize third party candidatesJan 30 04:49
DaemonFCassure that they can never win no matter whatJan 30 04:49
FurnaceBoyI suppose Al Gore might have been the last uncontrolled contender.Jan 30 04:50
FurnaceBoythey closed that loophole with 2008.Jan 30 04:50
DaemonFCand they can still put the Democrats and Republicans in a cockfight to see who will agree to more of their agendaJan 30 04:50
DaemonFCthe option of "replacing" Obama is on the table that wayJan 30 04:50
FurnaceBoy*now* we're talking about distracting the publicJan 30 04:50
FurnaceBoyDaemonFC: yes.Jan 30 04:50
DaemonFChaving control of the voting system is more important than having control of all candidatesJan 30 04:53
DaemonFCwith the voting system you can always lock out the candidates you don't ownJan 30 04:53
FurnaceBoyeither works. the first is more easily discovered and expected.Jan 30 04:53
DaemonFCagain, you can suspect but never proveJan 30 04:53
FurnaceBoymost ppl think the latter is outlandish, yet it's the status quoJan 30 04:53
FurnaceBoyin the end, they do bothJan 30 04:54
DaemonFCno paper trail, no access to the source code for the systemJan 30 04:54
DaemonFCno telling if anyone has set it to do anything unfair even if you had the source codeJan 30 04:54
DaemonFCyou can't prove they're doing it and they don't have to prove that they're not doing itJan 30 04:55
DaemonFCso no, I don't believe that it's difficult to control the voting system or the candidatesJan 30 04:56

DaemonFCyou know, like those AAC decoders that have to be distributed as source code and the binaries hosted on foreign serversJan 30 09:38
DaemonFCif a person uses an unlicensed AAC decoder, is that the same as "pirating" a piece of software?Jan 30 09:39
_Goblinno, Ive given the basis behind the term piracy......Jan 30 09:39
DaemonFCand I also remember Nullsoft stating that the registration fee for Winamp was not paying them any money, it was the user paying for MPEG patent licenses to use the encodersJan 30 09:39

_goblinEruaran: Im sorry, but I can't buy into what you say.  Is anyone here really saying that work they had spent their time on could be used to make millions and they would have no problem watching someone else roll in the cash with their work??  Is there really anyone here who believes anyone would be happy with that?Jan 30 10:43

_goblinoiaohm: I am refering to the music example given earlier....but yes.Jan 30 10:43
EruaranBob Dylan lifted words from a writers novel's without attribution. The media tried to make a big deal about it... they went looking for a controversy, but had the wind taken from their sails when they found the writer was extremely happy to know Bob Dylan had read his book and lifted material from it.Jan 30 10:44
EruaranYou don't have to "buy" into what I sayJan 30 10:44
EruaranIt might be terribly difficult for you, but not for me.Jan 30 10:45
oiaohmI understand it.  Eruaran.  Just the most important thing to me is that you make sure you set up the other revene streams so you can spend more time on music.   So I have more music to listern to.Jan 30 10:45
_goblinI think I must live in a different reality to you.....but I fail to see everyone jumping in agreement.Jan 30 10:46

EruaranThat's my choiceJan 30 10:49
EruaranGood griefJan 30 10:50
oiaohmIt is your choice but if you have a chance of doing what you do for fun for the rest of you life.  Why not attempt to take it.  EruaranJan 30 10:50
EruaranI can't even give music away for free without people hassling meJan 30 10:51
oiaohmyou must lack my form of greed.  EruaranJan 30 10:51
_goblinEruaran: this is a debate...nobody is hassling, if you don't want to do that, don't put your opinions across.Jan 30 10:51
EruaranMy view is different from yours. Jan 30 10:52
EruaranIf you don't accept it, that's fine.Jan 30 10:52
oiaohmI was just trying to be helpful Eruaran sorry If I seamed pushy.Jan 30 10:52

EruaranWhat do you think you're going to achieve by going on and on at me about it ?Jan 30 10:52
EruaranWhy do I have to make a "career" of it ?Jan 30 10:53

oiaohmThis world is a funny place you never 100 percent know how it will turn out.Jan 30 10:54

oiaohmI personally place my bets all over the place one day one might pay off.Jan 30 10:54
EruaranI've been thereJan 30 10:54
EruaranIt's bullshitJan 30 10:54
_goblintheres no need to swear.Jan 30 10:54
EruaranAnd it ruined me creativelyJan 30 10:54

DaemonFCThe RIAA has been hauled back into court over price fixingJan 30 10:55
DaemonFCniceJan 30 10:55
oiaohmSo you are the time that cannot mix fun and business?  EruaranJan 30 10:56
_goblinEruaran: nobody is pushing anything, you say you believe in freedom and creativity?  Let people express themselves here.Jan 30 10:56
oiaohmtime/typeJan 30 10:56
EruaranThere are different kinds of businessJan 30 10:56
DaemonFC_goblin: I think my point is that with Apple and RIAA gobbling up all but about 3 cents of every song purchase on iTunes, how could the artist possibly do worse by firing the RIAA and distributing material on their own website?Jan 30 10:57
EruaranAnd I should be allowed to express my opinion without people arguing as if at some point they expect me to agree with theirs.Jan 30 10:57
oiaohmPut it this way if you are Eruaran you would not be the first person like it I know.Jan 30 10:57
DaemonFCThey would have to lose nearly 97% of their sales to do worse, rightJan 30 10:57
oiaohmIe business on mind completely blocks creatiity to them.Jan 30 10:58
DaemonFCso even if they lose half their sales, they're still doing much betterJan 30 10:58
DaemonFCcause RIAA and Apple was making off with all the money anywayJan 30 10:58
DaemonFCif someone is signed with the RIAA and distributed on Apple, they probably do have to make a million seller album to put food on the tableJan 30 10:59
_goblinDaemonFC: Agreed.....But thats for the artist, not the filesharer to decide.Jan 30 11:01
_goblinI may be about to say something very provoking now but.........Jan 30 11:02
oiaohmAll of us here have one thing in common we all want to see you do well one way or the other EruaranJan 30 11:03
oiaohmJust each of us can be kinda overbaring over it.Jan 30 11:03
_goblinI would challenge anyone who claimed that after making a track which they intended to be free, would turn down an offer of millions from a record label....I would'nt as much as I love the FOSS ethos, my family and my home life comes first...money talks (rightly or wrongly) and its maybe why so many bloggers are happy to shill for Microsoft.Jan 30 11:04
_goblinI think thats a realistic opinion and people can spout about some idealistic world where everything is free everyone shares....unfortunate truth is, the rest of the world doesn't live like that.Jan 30 11:05
EruaranYou've obviously never been "offered" anything by a record labelJan 30 11:05
_goblinunfortunately not..Jan 30 11:05
_goblinif I had, I would take it.Jan 30 11:05
oiaohmNop _goblinJan 30 11:05
EruaranAnd would you read the contract ?Jan 30 11:05
oiaohmYou are lucky to get a few cents each copy sold  _goblinJan 30 11:06
_goblinif my work had been intended for free then is it any worse?Jan 30 11:06
oiaohmAnd they will have owner ship to what ever you produce in the time of the contract _goblinJan 30 11:06
oiaohmIt suxs.Jan 30 11:06
_goblinof course a contract may have facets that I wouldn't want....but Im talking simplistic terms of "money talks"Jan 30 11:06
oiaohmAt least givign it away for free you keep ownership _goblinJan 30 11:07
_goblintrue....but then that goes back to what a freedom believer would do if their work was taken by another and millions made from it wihtout credit.Jan 30 11:07
oiaohmThe record companies if they have someone else sing your song they don't have to give you credit either.Jan 30 11:08
oiaohmDue to the contract. _goblinJan 30 11:08
oiaohmSo how is missing out on credit so bad.Jan 30 11:08
oiaohmEven worse under contract you cannot even complain about your song being sung by someone else _goblinJan 30 11:08
oiaohmYes I have read those evil record company contracts.Jan 30 11:09
_goblintrue....but then I was trying to get to crux of a track released for free being exploited without permission.....would the actions of the artist seek reconpense through the civil courts in much the same way as we see the labels doing today or would the artist just sit back and let it happen?Jan 30 11:11
oiaohmIf you are under contract you cannot use the civil courts.Jan 30 11:11
oiaohmOnly the record company can _goblinJan 30 11:11
_goblinI was meaning in respect of releasing the track for free...no contract no label, then the track being taken by a label without permission.Jan 30 11:12
oiaohmThis is so artist cannot cause PR nightmares.  So the recourd companies can settle out of court.Jan 30 11:12
oiaohmThat is only if the artist is a free artist _goblinJan 30 11:12
_goblinyep, thats what I was refering to (Eruaran's case)Jan 30 11:13
oiaohmAnd that is not a short process.Jan 30 11:13
*Eruaran chooses to be free.Jan 30 11:13
_goblinif he is not signed to a label what protection does he have?Jan 30 11:13
_goblinand what would he do if his work was used without permission?Jan 30 11:13
_goblinand millions made from it.Jan 30 11:13
oiaohmJust the same as breachign any other open source licence _goblinJan 30 11:13
oiaohmIts the laws of copyright.Jan 30 11:14
_goblinyep.....and thats the point I was making from the beginning....Jan 30 11:14
_goblinthe actions then of Euranan would be very similar to what the labels do now to filesharers.Jan 30 11:14
oiaohmEruaran could choose to basically BSD licence the music.Jan 30 11:14
_goblinand the "free" ethos goes out of the window.Jan 30 11:14
EruaranI'm going to put a statement on the website that explicitly states that you have permission to do what you like with the music without permission.Jan 30 11:15
oiaohmAs long as attribitation is giving of course like BSD EruaranJan 30 11:15
EruaranIndependence and freedom are paramount.Jan 30 11:16
_goblinand the other point of this would be....if Eruaran released his work for free under BSD (which is admirable) what would he do if that was breached and would he be happy with others making millions from his hard work....Jan 30 11:16
EruaranBeing too precious about your own material can make you a slave to that as well.Jan 30 11:16
oiaohmYep you and BSD coders would get along very well  EruaranJan 30 11:16
EruaranYou need to be free to move on unencumbered by even your own past works.Jan 30 11:17
_goblinalthough in respect of coders, the creative element (IMO) is not the same as a musician.Jan 30 11:17
oiaohmLot of us more follow share and share a like. ie more GPL licences.  EruaranJan 30 11:17
oiaohm_goblin: Depends on the program.Jan 30 11:17
_goblinthat it true...although I think the ability to publically display your artistic skills is better exampled in the music world rather than the software one....in terms of software most users won't care how and why something works, just as long as it does.Jan 30 11:19
_goblinlook at Elite as an example......Jan 30 11:19
EruaranPursuing anyone over a perceived wrong is just as draining and creatively damaging as clinging to concepts of intellectual property ownership.Jan 30 11:19
_goblina masterpiece of coding fit into 32k that would have been lost on about 90% of those people who played it.Jan 30 11:19
_goblinthen look at.....Always with me always with you by Joe SatrianiJan 30 11:20
_goblinprobably the most difficult solo Ive ever tried to play.Jan 30 11:21
_goblinand creatively a beautiful piece.Jan 30 11:21
oiaohmArt is in the eye of the beholder.Jan 30 11:22
oiaohmSome of the self generating ascii art picture programs out there are nice.Jan 30 11:22

DaemonFCI can just picture a Best Buy boardroom meeting, Dilbert-style, where they discuss how profitable taking over the scattered wreckage of "that thing you used 10 years ago to find 128k MP3's one at a time, for free" only now they're $1 each and some of them may not work on your portableJan 30 13:13

DaemonFCdoes that mean that it's over and we won? :)Jan 30 13:17
DaemonFCthe only good thing left to say about MP3 is that id3 tags are too limited for them to pack in a bunch of information about the person that bought themJan 30 13:18
DaemonFCApple packs in over 300 kilobytes worth of "tagging" to uniquely identify the customer and their ip address, and the date they bought itJan 30 13:19

DaemonFC"Still, despite the commercial upside, Three Days Grace comes by its dark  material honestly. Gontier and bassist Brad Walst both grew up in  Norwood, a tiny one-light town two hours outside of Toronto that the  pair have frequently described in terms similar to Twin Peaks. One of  the  few distinguishing characteristics of the town of 1,500 was an  unusually high murder and suicide rate. "Jan 30 15:32

Chips_B_MalroyI don't see any way for MS to hide the decline of revenue in the next couple of quarters, without cost cutting.  And cost cutting means layoffs.  But MS has now painted itself into a corner, with the 60% increase bogus figure.  It cannot use the name layoff, with best quarter ever, with most sold OS ever.  Jan 30 19:08

Chips_B_MalroyDaemonFC> MacroVision is for Video, used mostly on VHS tapesJan 30 19:15
DaemonFCnopeJan 30 19:15

Chips_B_Malroyreally?Jan 30 19:15
DaemonFCyeah, called Cactus Data ShieldJan 30 19:15
Chips_B_Malroydo you know you used to be able to buy a filter to get rid of macrovision?Jan 30 19:16
DaemonFCsimulates a lot of bad sectors on the disc that only show up at speeds you would rip itJan 30 19:16
FurnaceBoyw00tJan 30 19:16
FurnaceBoylike the old floppy protection systemsJan 30 19:16
FurnaceBoywell, not speed based, but tricks like thisJan 30 19:16
DaemonFCpretty muchJan 30 19:16
Chips_B_Malroymacrovision is mostly an analog protection DRM schemeJan 30 19:16
DaemonFCturn your drive down to 1x and enable error correctionJan 30 19:17
DaemonFCand you'll get everything off it intactJan 30 19:17
DaemonFCMackerel Vision has never had a good DRM schemeJan 30 19:17
DaemonFCI don't even think they were in on the Blu Ray DRM poisoning dealsJan 30 19:17
Chips_B_MalroyI believe the filters that were sold to remove macrovision in video in the US, are now illegal to sell,  but I am not a lawyerJan 30 19:18
DaemonFCanalog DRM can only go so far as to be annoying, there's nothing they can do to analog media that DRM's them seriously without rendering the disc or tape unplayableJan 30 19:18
Chips_B_Malroyof course, it legal to make your own, maybeJan 30 19:18
DaemonFCthe best analog DRM is a damned nuisanceJan 30 19:18

Chips_B_Malroythey work well DaemonFCJan 30 19:19
DaemonFCChips_B_Malroy: It's not hard, the tape sent some video data out that would drive the auto gain control in the 2nd VCR crazy but wouldn't show up on your TV screenJan 30 19:20
DaemonFCthe filters just removed the Mackerel Vision noiseJan 30 19:20
Chips_B_Malroycorrect, overload the automatic gain control of the vcrJan 30 19:20
DaemonFCor you could just use a VCR from before gain control was mandatory by lawJan 30 19:20
FurnaceBoyheheJan 30 19:20
DaemonFCI still have a few VCRs like thatJan 30 19:21
FurnaceBoyit's just an arms raceJan 30 19:21
Chips_B_Malroythe other trick was to have a really old VCR that did not have automatic gain controlJan 30 19:21
DaemonFCthat's what I just said :)Jan 30 19:21
Chips_B_MalroyyesJan 30 19:21
DaemonFCit's why I held onto my old VCRsJan 30 19:21

Chips_B_Malroythink its called composite outputJan 30 19:23
DaemonFCyeahJan 30 19:24
DaemonFCcomposite gives better picture anywayJan 30 19:24
DaemonFCnot that you'll notice that on VHS :)Jan 30 19:24
Chips_B_MalroyBy the way, I believe the maffia got not only the selling of the filters illegal, but the manufacturing or selling of VHS without the automatic gain control illegal as wellJan 30 19:24
DaemonFCthey sell combo VHS-Blu Ray oddly enoughJan 30 19:26

This was because a minor core code update to fix default channel mode settings did not go smoothly on a subset of servers, causing them to restart.
