I'm sorry Bushdog. I just turned around for a minute to get a fresh Packasmokes© and a few of them jumped the fence when my back was turned.
I think that "shock collar" idea you brought up in the Mods Forum is a good one. Will we be able to adjust the voltage?

Do you have a progressive scan DVD player? I hear progressive scan irons out the twikoff problem that some of the newer Criterion discs have.

its something that affected the ages of time. The elders say you must walk a 1000 miles in the dessert and look within for then you will discover what a twikoff is. Of course this is only legend and the story has changed over time.
As for the other question try the hardware forum.

At 108 minutes into the movie, Spartacus returns to his former prison. We see Spartacus look around in a long shot. Strangely though, the bricks on the wall at the bottom of the screen flicker. There flicker isn't similar to the wavy patterns that a busy shirt might make.
It's an odd phenomenom. Any one know why this happens?
Thanks.

I read the above posts and I am reminded of the scene in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest McMurphy takes his fellow inmates on a day trip outside the asylum...
