Proposed UK Legislation on replica weapons

The Government are trying to pass a bill through Parliament to ban replica weapons. This meas if you own a replica gun, tank, canon, pistol, then the law would require that you have it destroyed. I wonder where the law stands for lightsabres. Anyhoo, theres a lot of opposition to this from museums a...

RE: Re: RE: FILMING IN UK AIRPORTS - NEED TO KNOW NOW!!!!

HA HA HA! It's the international flights going out of the country that they're doing most of this with, and you probably wouldn't be fingerprinted because you're not a foreigner in your own country. I love Sanford airport! It's the easiest airport I've ever gone through. Although the last time I wen...

Sounds to me that the computer isn't recognising the display panel type. Try changing it/re-installing the drivers and see if that helps.

RE: FILMING IN UK AIRPORTS - NEED TO KNOW NOW!!!!

Not to mention the taking off shoes and fingerprinting that they expose the passengers at US airports to. It's crazy, even if you're just stopping to pick up a connecting flight, you are put through all that.

RE: My super awesome marketing plan!

Sounds like a great idea, but why not involve the local media as well. The newspapers or local television news would love a story like that.

No it is not ilegal, I have a friend who is currently making a proper film production at an airport on the Isle of Wight. You do need permission from the airport to film though. Security procedures can be filmed. My nephew is one of the actors in this movie.

The problem with electronic storage of media is that the dates can be altered - When I upload to my server, I can upload the original date. If I change the clock in my PC, I can pretend I created something sooner than I actually did. That way, someone does have the potential of taking your work, and...

You don't need a multi-region player, or need to change the region of an existing player as I describe here....

What's the point of having regional settings on a DVD player, and having your DVD player locked if you change the setting more than a certain number of times, when you can just by-pass this by copying the files off a DVD onto your hard-drive and playing the video files from there???

You can get some fairly realistic looking soft toys these days, use one of them, and gore out the bits that look fake, so the whole thing looks like fresh real roadkill.
