Building The DVD Logo Screensaver With LEGO | Hackaday

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 00:20:27 +0000

There’s something extremely calming and pleasing about watching a screensaver that merely bounces some kind of image around, with the DVD logo screensaver of a DVD player being a good example. The logical conclusion is thus that it would be great to replicate this screensaver in Lego, because it’d be fun and easy. That’s where [Grant Davis]’s life got flipped upside-down, as this turned out to be anything but an easy task in his chosen medium.

Revisiting London Below: Gaiman’s “Neverwhere” on DVD « Nerdist

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 23:50:06 +0000

It’s been at least 10 years since I last saw Neverwhere, the six-part BBC series by Neil Gaiman and Lenny Henry that subsequently became a Gaiman novel and marked one of my earliest introductions to his work. Sometimes it’s really rough revisiting early works from writers you adore because – depending on the writer and the relative earliness of said work – the odds may be sizeable that it just won’t hold up. Which is why it delights me to say, after binging the Neverwhere 15th Anniversary Edition DVD the other night, that not only does the show hold up, but it cemented my opinion that, for works from exceptional storytellers like Gaiman, the best possible medium for any filmed adaptation is television.

Review - Is DVD Digital Copy worth the trouble?

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 17:47:28 +0000

"Not only are you paying for a DRM infested file that will only play on a couple of devices and getting files which aren't optimized for the portable devices they're supposed to be designed for, you have to wait several weeks to get the same movie found on the DVD. Unless you're looking for video files that are more restricted than DVDs and not optimized for your portable device you're better off doing your own encoding. "

Stupid DRM handcuffs | D'Arcy Norman dot net

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 05:32:39 +0000

"That’s me in the DVD. But because the MPAA makes software companies bend over to protect their content by baking DRM into the apps that ship with my computer, I’m prevented from doing legitimate things with my own content. Thankfully, there are ways around it (Jing was more than happy to capture a screenshot - I’m sure the MPAA attack dogs will be closing that hole ASAP)."

"It is also apparent that AACS will give the option of a computer/player "phoning home" if so chosen, so verify you got a good copy. Fuck that right in the ear. I will never do that, either."
