I found a couple on eBay searching for "70s digital clock" - one affordable, one less so. I imagine a better choice of search terms would yield better results. Also try yard sales and flea markets in your area.
I don't know if it's madness or not but it sure is maddening. I've had the same problem, but as mentioned below a sleeping mask can be extremely useful in such situations. I know it's helped me.
"the ever-popular integrated 35mm film projector and DVD player."
WANT BAD:LY.
Honestly, it's nearing the point where we should physically confront these politicians and smack them upside the head.
Nearing the point? Only in the sense that we're so far past that point now that we've actually circled the earth and it is once again looming on the horizon.
Verizon's FIOS FireWire port, at least in my house, is fully active, and I have a HD full of programs recorded entirely legally from it. Now, the port's currently BROKEN, thanks to the latest "update", but certainly not disabled. I could get a horribly mangled MPEG stream out of it right now (if there was any point, as it IS horribly mangled to the point of uselessness).
It's saddening that there's people who still believe there's anything substantially liberal about the American media. Unless we're talking about Pacifica or something - and somehow I don't think that's what most people mean by "liberal media". Then again, nobody in this country knows what liberalism even is anymore. Barack Obama gets called a SOCIALIST routinely... which I'm sure is a source of endless amusement and no small amount of confusion to actual socialists the world over.
I definitely record from the outputs on my STB. Plenty of movies never made it to DVD or even VHS, or made it in horrible condition, which get run from time to time on cable, frequently in pristine condition. Stuff that I'd have bought if only it were an option - but a perceived lack of demand, indifferent, mismanaged, out-of-business distributors, rights issues, or whatever have kept it out of circulation.
Or, I should say, I USED to record from the STB outputs... until the most recent FIOS software update broke FireWire output and HDMI simultaneously. Thanks, Verizon douchebags!
If Obama was smart, he'd publicly endorse air, leading immediately to the entire Republican party boycotting it.
To my shock and amazement, the Region 1 DVD release of the film JCVD from Peace Arch Entertainment has two non-DRM "digital copies", one in MP4 and one in WMV format. Both play fine in Ubuntu and on any device which supports MP4 and/or WMV. It's nice to see a company do this correctly. I've been meaning to write them a thank you note - think I'll do that now.
I hate the term "digital copy" though. Did DVDs and Blu-rays become something other than digital copies at some point?
Where do all the scientists who are skeptics fit in?
A thimble.
This win was more a rebuke to the conservatives than anything else.
And that's more than enough justification for me. American conservatives are making me wish we really were shipping them off to FEMA camps. Fortunately for them/unfortunately for everyone else, it's merely delusion.
that shit was old from day one.
Mod parent insightful.
I would just as soon see them all shot.
I feel the same way about you, if it's any consolation.
Apple did this. iMac G5s which came with three USB 2 ports shipped with a keyboard containing a two-port USB 1 hub. Don't know how long this was the case, but at least initially that's what they were doing.
