Probably rooting for it. Trump is going to pardon that trash.

Doctor evil sure has went down hill.

For anyone after GenX there used to be this thing called paper map you would have to use when going on a trip to a place you didn’t know. It was mainly the moms job to look at it since dad would never ask for directions.

Its clear they don’t care about american lives. Civilian ones that is.

You should probably read that wikipedia link. I built some of the blockers or stabilizers as Wikipedia article describes them. You could see the pulses described in the output of a scope that messed up the AGC in the VCR. All the blocker did was blank out the pulses and that was enough to prevent macrovision from working on the VCR when making a copy.

Its the flushing toilets that are most prized.

Not likely. Far too few there have the mindset to think that it could work. Putin is just one small leap in the collective imagination away from destruction but it doesn’t look like the populace will ever cross that gap.

All US made VCR’s had a circuit in them called macrovision. Its what caused the distortion in the copies when the tape was recorded with it. The German units did not have this. He purchased them through friends who were in the military. They bought them from the base exchange or px I don’t remember which. As far as PAL and NTSC I’m pretty sure he had something to deal what that as well. The guy bought the second VCR in the state right behind some super rich guy. He still had it in the 90’s and it took up most of a fairly large table.

Up until he died he made copies of everything he could get his hands on. He lived right on a county line and arranged it with his neighbor across the road in the other county to drop his netflix DVD’s in his mail box for pickup. He would get his DVD’s in the morning rip them and then put them in the neighbors mailbox before noon. It would be picked up that day and he would repeat the process. When he died I ended up with a huge amount of ripped DVD’s that I eventually gave to someone just to get them out of my way. I kinda regret that sometimes.

I had a friend with a huge copied VHS library. He ordered his equipment from Germany. No macrovision on equipment there so his copies were very good.

What do they expect? That their tyranny and outright terrorism go unanswered. I guess they really think they are doing the right thing but I no longer care about isreal at all. What I don’t like seeing is violence against Jews in other parts of the world as well as violence against Palestinians anywhere in world.

Duh, Its been clear that they were a mouth piece of pooty poots for over a decade.

Of course they do. They are trash humans.

All these things.

Pretty much how I called it a day or two ago. Putin will now have to put more troops on his border with Ukraine permanently. Ukraine can continue to harass those troops. First though putin has to put together a successful attack to stall and repel Ukraine’s advance. Meanwhile the troops already engaged with russias invasion may be able to put enough pressure on what remains to push them back.

He can’t do that. Losing Crimea would be a death blow for him. Some trash human standing close to him has already picked out the window he will fall from and he knows it.

At least he has learned his lesson now. /s

Been working fine for me for twenty years or more in a mixed environment.

Thanks but I hardly needed anyone permission to not use that. .local still works just fine.
