My DVD arrived last week, and it successfully played on my region-locked laptop (my desktop PC isn't region locked, but I haven't been able to patch my laptop). It also has a big "0" on the back. Strangely enough, my Farscape DVDs (which I also got from Blackstar) are region 2, but they don't have any indication of that on the box; while my locally bought Stargate DVDs have region 4 indicated on them, as they should.

Blackstar does list in the features section that The Medusa Strain is a region 0 DVD, even though it lists it as region 2 in the region field. This is the same as for Slaves of Jedikiah. So probably yes. Or you can wait for the 29th of April by which time those of us in the states who have preordered it will let you know.

Well, TK would be handy for all sorts of things. To turn off the light when I was in bed. To change tapes on the VCR (grin) Whether this would be TK-related or not, something that would be really cool would be to be able to transfer images directly to paper; to *show* exactly what I imagine... I'm not talking about transferring images telepathically to other TPs, I'm talking permanent artistic medium here. Whether that means to paper or to graphics program, I don't care.

Okay, most likely this is the situation: The UK uses a video standard called PAL (I forget the acronym). It was developed a couple of years after the US began airing TV shows in color. The standard that the US came up with is called NTSC (again forget the acronym). Since the US began broadcasting shows in color they have not changed their color format. When the UK began broadcasting in color, PAL had been developed. It has a higher resolution image and brighter picture. This means that the way in which the color information is sent is different between the two countries. They use different resolutions or different line numbers (the number of horizontal and vertical lines that make up the picture). I'm not sure of the breakdown, but MOST countries use PAL or another later derived system. North America is pretty much the only place using NTSC <and I'm not really certain Canada and Mexico are NTSC and not PAL> When products are made for a region, they are obviously made using the format of the country they are in. Since the UK DVDs were obviously intended for a UK consumer market they are in PAL format. This differs from region encoding. Region encoding is a method of IDing DVDs by arbitrary regions devised by big business to limit distribution of media. (The legitimate reason for this is to prevent the release of a DVD of a movie *before* the theater release of said film in another country.) A DVD that is encoded with a region can only be played on a player that is set for that region. There are DVD players out there that are 'regionless' and can play DVDs from any region. (These tend to be expensive) Computers with DVD-ROM drives can often be set to be regionless or you can switch the region if you choose. (Be careful, in some computers you are limited in the number of times you can switch the reason.) There are numerous software 'patches' out there that can bypass region encoding on a computer. These are illegal, so of course I can't tell you where to find them. :-) Since the first DVD, Slaves of Jedikiah, is regionless but PAL encoded you need to have either a DVD player that can convert PAL to NTSC or else a PAL/NTSC converter. Both are available, although converters tend to be hard to find, at least I had a hard time. The DVD player someone on list recommended, the Apex AD-1200, works wonderfully! It converts PAL to NTSC with no problems. The earlier version had a secret menu to make the player regionless, but I haven't been able to find it on this player. If anyone knows if it exists, please email me off list. :-) Anyway, the Apex DVD player cost $70 at Circuit City. Really nice buy. mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

There are companies here (and I'm sure in the US as well) that will take PAL format video tapes and make NTSC copies, but I'm not sure if they can do the same for commercial DVDs because of the anti-piracy encryption. I don't have the TP DVD yet, but I also don't have a DVD player, so I plan to fork out whatever it takes to get one that converts PAL to NTSC, and hope for the best.

Removing the region coding is not breaking copyright, nor is it cracking encryption. Even if you could argue that applying a firmware patch to a drive is somehow an encryption-cracking action, then that doesn't mean squat outside the USA; the DMCA is a *US* law, and an unconstitutional one at that. They're actually investigating whether *region coding* is illegal in Australia, because it breaks the Fair Trade Practices Act. If you want to find the Firmware web-page, do a Google search (http://www.google.com) with the keywords "firmware DVD" and it should be the first page on the list.

Mexico is also NTSC and officialy region 4 but since we are so close to the elephant, most DVD players sold here are multiregion or region1&4 and also the DVDs themselves sold here are starting to be double region. I just have to see if my allregion DVD player converts PAL to NTSC. My TP DVD is in the mail and I can't wait to get it!

I imported the Slaves of Jedikiah DVD, and had some trouble at first. Sony and a lot of the "big name" electronics DVD players won't accept regionless because of the stranglehold they try to have on the market and their ridiculous regional encoding system. The first DVD player I tried it on, an Oritron, played the disc, but tried to output the picture in PAL format, which just makes your NTSC TV roll and roll, since it's being overloaded visually. My roomate's i-Mac played it fine, but on the LCD monitor, the SOJ looked very fuzzy due to the year in which it was filmed. You just have to shop around as far as players go. I've found that GE, Apex, and JVC will play the disc, and automatically "correct" the output to NTSC. If you are looking for a bottom line DVD player that will play the disc, and is also easily "hackable", I suggest USA Circuit City's Apex AD-1200. It's cheap ($64.99), has a decent picture, and has a limited ability to read MP3s and Jpeg files. Any questions, please write me back at melsegoo@ttacs.ttu.edu, and I'd be glad to answer. Marcell J.

It has perhaps the single most memorable moment in the original series- and I'm not going to describe that, if you've seen it you know!- Sorry, I have seen RIT several times, and can't think what could be the most memorable moment in the OS. My personal vote for the most memorable moment is in the last few moments of the Dirtiest Business.

Goldman" <scottg@global2000.net> Subject: Re: TPDIS: Traction Engine Date: 22 Apr 2002 19:05:27 -0400 I think the point of the steam engine was to alter the time line. The engine would not generate electricity without a generator attached to it. There was nothing about the Romans having electricity. And even if it did generate electricity, that engine was WAY too small to generate the large amounts of power required to transport a non-tp down the time lanes - remember, in "SOJ" they basically blew up the ship and it had some kind of fusion reactor(?).

Peter didn't say anything about us old folks breaking out, did he? I'm waiting on my 5 yo to breakout. Sidenote: I got into a conversation with a student about obsessions and while trying to win her over to the TP (she remembered the NS) she mentioned Ocean Girl. I told her I'd seen it mentioned here and would ask if anybody had any US compatable tapes. So... anybody? I figure it could be a door to a future TP groupy.

This survey has nothing to do with becoming a potential TP. It's just a survey for us to find out more about one another. I'm only proposing this one because it's the same one we did 2 years ago.

Or maybe the potential to become a TP fan.

I'm Helen. I'm a long time lurker, I've been here for years... Was it only two years since the last one of these? I know I had some excuse for not answering it then... finals. But I blame insomnia for this.... (and for any typos, grammatical errors, incoherent ramblings etc you may find contained in this email...) >1) Male/Female? Female >2) Where do you live? At the moment... Lancaster, UK, but I never stay in places for long (Ask Anne ;)) >3) Age? 23 >4) Highest academic degree? BA, but I'm currently studing for an MA >5) Area of studies / occupation? Undergraduate - Archaeology Postgraduate - Environmental Sociology (please don't ask me to explain what that is, I'm not entirely sure myself...) >6) Do you consider yourself to have above average intelligence (IQ?)? I guess, since I've got this far.... But I'm always wary of IQ tests because I grew up in an area which still had Grammar (selective) Schools, and they were all based on IQ tests. The ones that got into the grammar schools weren't necessarily the most 'intelligent' people...! (I didn't take the exam BTW, there was no point I would have failed it...) >7) Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert? I was an introvert when I was young, but I've learnt to be an extrovert sometimes and it's fun! >8) Growing up did you feel in some ways different to your peers? Or did you >consider yourself popular as a child? I was the quiet kid in the corner, with few friends, and I was bullied. But I underwent a magical transformation when we moved 300 miles across the country when I was 12... I didn't become popular, but I found out I wasn't so different after all... Ironically, considering the original purpose of this survey, that was when I started watching TP. >9) Do you believe in psychic abilities? yes/no/undecided Yes, I think. One of my closest friends believes that they have experienced such things, and for various reasons I believe them. If it was someone I didn't know so very well I might doubt it... >10) At what age did you get hooked on the TP? About 12/13, when the NS was first shown on ITV >11) What did you see first (OS or NS)? NS >12) Which series do you prefer (OS or NS, or either)? Never seen the OS, so I can't really say. >13) Favorite OS episode? N/A >14) Favorite NS episode? It's so long since I've seen any of them that I can't really remember specifics... sorry. >15) Worse OS episode? >16) Worse NS episode? Same as above >17) Favorite OS TP? >18) Favorite NS TP? Adam, or maybe Megabyte, I can't choose. I like Jade and Ami too...:) >19) If you are over 18 yrs old do you watch childrens cartoons and teen TV >shows? Yes! and the list is sooo long.... it really should be embarising. >20) Other than TP, favorite TV show(s) /books? I don't really watch much TV... Buffy, and Angel, Roswell - although I haven't seen an episode for ages (it was one of the few programmes I could watch in Poland...), The Simpsons, I like comedy (Father Ted, Black Books etc), Anamaniacs + Pinky and the Brain.... There's more but I can't remember Books - I read a lot, as a rough guide, at the moment at uni I have with me a couple of Salman Rushdies and Jostein Gaarders, a Michael Ondaatje (Anil's ghost), a Terry pratchett, Memoires of a Geisha, the second Bridget Jones, the Complete Works of Shakespeare (it's my ongoing project), and lots and lots of text books. >21) What is something(s) important/significant you've done over the last >two years? >(i.e. since the last time you filled out this survey) Well I didn't fill it out last time, but I was on the verge of finishing my first degree.... Since then I've worked in Brussels (ummmm Beer and Chocolate - what more do you want from a country?!). I've taught English to bored high school kids in Poland. And I got accepted on an MA programme! Woopeee!!! But I still haven't finished any of my fanfic... (Don't worry Anne, I am still writing, slowly...!)

I don't keep formal records, but I do have a rough idea of who's on the list at all times because I have to process any subscription changes. It took about a year for TPDIS to reach 100 members, and that's pretty much where it's been since. The list population is *really* stable. People who leave usually come back, although it may take a few months or years. Although, going through some of my email (a few undeleted "who" requests) -- I see that in January, 99 TPDIS had 83 members. In May 00, it was exactly 100. In April 01, it was 92. By August of 01 it was back to 108. TPFICT typically has about 10 more addresses on the list than TPDIS. >And have the tapes and DVDs had any noticable effects at all?

I would probably be the first to say I broke out when I was a teenager ;) (Not with acne, Shaun! ;) ) And a telepathic mindset or semi-commonality is preventing us from realizing our true potentials. ;) Although, I'm working on it ;) -Drew At 03:22 PM 4/30/02 +1000, you wrote: >As far as breaking out, I am sick of breaking out, pimples at my age!! >........ > >Oh you mean telepathically.. > >Shaun > >--- "Scott S.

Love Microsoft. Based on some of the responses from the survey something ocurred to me. I've got an idea, so I've got a new survey. I don't want to mention the point of this until after the results are in, since I don't want to bias the results. :-) Some of these questions are pretty personal, so if you want to email me off-list, that's fine. (Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything with the info and I'm not a cyber-stalker. Ask around people on the list, I tend to be a pretty frequent poster.) Some of the questions are red-herrings so you won't try to figure out what the point of the survey is. :-) I'm trying to be somewhat scientific about this, but anyone who's familiar with stats will know this isn't that rigorous. Thanks! mike ------------------ 1.) Have you ever experienced psychic phenomena? Yes No Don't Believe 2.) Have you had experience with paganism, witchcraft, or any other 'non-traditional' religion?

I usually felt different, i had a small group of friends, but close ones that i wouldn't trade for anything. 9) Do you believe in psychic abilities? yes/no/undecided Yes, yes, yes. I am a writer and i think of all of my stories, i have written one that has nothing to do with any kind of psychic, TK, telepathic powers. 10) At what age did you get hooked on the TP? Lets see, if NS was on up through 96... and began in 92, i would have been 11 or so. But who cares, i'm still hooked!! 11) What did you see first (OS or NS)? NS 12) Which series do you prefer (OS or NS, or either)? Never seen OS 13) Favorite OS episode? Never seen it 14) Favorite NS episode? The Living Stones, though there were some parts of each ep that i liked and parts that i hated. 15) Worst OS episode? Never seen it 16) Worse NS episode? Monsoon Man, though Adam looked Damn good in that leather jacket!!!! :-) Which is a favorite part 17) Favorite OS TP? Couldn't say 18) Favorite NS TP? I liked each character overall, but if i had to pick one or two, it would be Adam and Jade, though Megabyte's not too far behind... 19) If you are over 18 yrs old do you watch childrens cartoons and teen TV shows? I watch some kids stuff, some shows on Disney and ABC Family like In a Heartbeat or S club 7 (though its starting to hit me how juvenile it is). 20) Other than TP, favorite TV show(s) /books/movies? Books: Right about now, i'm really into Star Wars, with the new movie coming out, i'm really excited about it. I just finished the Novel to Episode II and am really excited to see the movie!! I'm into Sci-Fi of most types (except isaac asimov). I also like the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, and The Dark is Rising Sequence by Susan Cooper. The Twilight Circle (a book series that my best friend and i are writing) TV shows: Smallville, Quantum Leap, Sliders, Knight Rider, Lois & Clark, Monarch of the Glen (when its actually on on BBC America) Charmed, TP, Gilmore Girls, Witchblade, Enterprise, Star Trek: TNG Movies: STAR WARS, Superman, Tomb Raider, X-Men, Back to the Future Trilogy, The Princess Diaries, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Only the Strong (Martial Arts Movie), Side Kicks (Jonathan Brandis and Chuck Norris, good movie) Music: Soundtracks: John Williams, Swing, Jazz, Irish Vanessa Carlson, Michelle Branch (both of which are going to be at a concert on memorial day in Buffalo), Frank Sinatra, Capercaillie (for those who don't know.. and *gasp* unthinkable... they're a gaelic language band from Scotland, and bad on you if you don't know who they are), Creed, Shakira, Seven Day Faith (local band that;s becomming big), Goo Goo Dolls (local band that already is big), Dave Matthew's Band. Too many to mention actually 21) What is something(s) important/significant you've done over the last two years? Not sure, started the next round of competitions in Irish Dance for the year!! I did okay last weekend, not too bad. Nothing really amazing in the last two years though. Well, i haven't really read too many of these surveys cause i've had too much going on with the last week of classes upon me, but i thought i'd stop lurking to say hi and to assure people in TPFICT that i have not forgotten about The Threat of Darkness, its just kinda at the bottom of my priorities list for the next week, then i can give it the time and attention that it deserves and it has been hard to avoid the calls from my desk. "Cathryn, Cathryn, come work on me, that paper (or exam) can wait till later." Expect to see a new part soon, i promise. Hope everyone had a great easter and good luck to everyone who has finals and are graduating high school, including Geoff from Philly!!! ;-) Love, Cathryn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JADFIRE@aol.com Subject: TPDIS: RE; New Survey Date: 01 May 2002 00:28:29 EDT 1.)
