It's silver. I've got 3 optical drives and no standard DVD player.

Thanks. No dots present.

FWIW, the same thing happened a couple of years ago with a more contemporary DVD. At the time, I didn't know I couldn't just copy it. After using Windows copy function on it, I couldn't play it. I found a program called BurnAware that fixed and ripped it. BurnAware isn't able to recover this disc.

Just tried it and got "Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK'..."

Other disc works in same drive.

It played fine before my attempt to copy it.

On closer examination, the performance is from 1993. Discogs shows a 2005 release, and Presto Music seems to be selling a version that says it was released 29th Jul 2013. The back cover of the container I have says copyright 1993. I played it before trying to copy it. VLC is the only app I have that recognized it. Pot Player and Windows Media did not.

[–] riley0 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, although VLC was the only program able to play it.

Thanks for the clearest explanation of Tailscale I've read.

Ask to plug it into a working computer they're selling.

[–] riley0 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, I have Nord. At the time I subscribed, I hadn't discovered all the wondrous things on Sail the High Seas or FMHY. Nord looked like my best bet judging by search engine results.

I just tried Tailscale. Downloaded & installed, then nothing. Task Manager told me their GUI was running, but I didn't see it. Repaired (via uninstall) & tried again. Same. Uninstalled & reinstalled. Same. Tried running as admin, just in case. Same. I'll try again another time.

"Mr. Saito is not clear exactly what shape a world under degrowth communism would take, but he insists that it would be democratic and focused on expanding communal resources, reducing the wealth gap and removing incentives for excess consumption."

People of Maui can't depend on gov't. Fed, state, & local aren't coordinating well. FEMA's holding up aid b/c they need to specifically approve every kind. People are depending on each other. Even MSM cites mutual aid as the only thing operative at this time.

 

You've gotta be kidding me.

I'd been looking for a while. Found B-stock for a little more than half the USA price at Thomann. They're so good!

 

They're supposed to sound like TNG Klingons. Everybody sang in the squeaky range. A variety of voices would have been nice. Ethan Peck's a baritone. More than one note of Spock's big number could have been there.

Indicia of feudalism? (self.actualsocialism)
submitted 2 years ago by riley0 to c/actualsocialism
 

When you're in the process of applying for a job, and your prospective employer wants to know whether you're passionate about the work and how you're going to make/save them money or improve their bureaucratic standing, or both, is that analogous to a king requiring your love and your promise to battle on his behalf?

 

Seeing him say it in the context of a takedown :)

 

Curiously, they work in Edge and Epic. Does anyone have an explanation or a fix?

Has anyone done this successfully? There's a button that says "download," but nothing happens. I tried a couple of free video downloading apps, and they say access denied. I can watch, but not download. (Some people post videos of classical music concerts there, then share links on a forum, in case you wondered.)

I haven't been able to login for what seems like a couple of weeks. Server IP can't be found. Changed VPN to Cyrus. Changed browsers. No luck. Does anyone know?
