Excellent work. Any specifics on how you did it?

I looked up 'multi-regional DVD players' on Google (I refuse to say 'Googled' because it's a word made up by grown-ups who are trying to sound hip) and one of the frequently searched terms that came up before I hit 'search' was "how to make your DVD player multi-regional". This sounded more appealing as I don't like having to pay for things that I technically already paid for (the ability to play DVDs that I paid for).
I expected to be disappointed and hear a load of complicated things about buying 'chips' and external transformers and tacheon generators and the like, but what I found out was that most DVD players are multi-regional already (just like computers). It's just a matter of getting the secret hack code off the IntarWeb and punching in to your System Menu on your player.
Once I did this, a new option popped onto my System Menu that asked me what Region Settings I wanted. I chose '0' because that's the 'every region' option. Then...I rejoiced.
So, it wasn't a matter of fiddling around with the inside of the player's mechanics (which I feared it would be) or even downloading dodgy software from hentai-ad filled sites. It was just a case of finding a secret code.
What worries me is how the guys who made these websites found the hack codes. Are they insider spies or did they sit around for hours trying every available combination? Or was it just in the instruction manual and I didn't bother looking for it? A wide variety of possibilities.
It's amazing how these things fascinate me as much as they do.

Indeed. What we need to find is someone with motive and means...

Hmmm, wonder who got rid of the karma. An obvious genius (and no, it wasn't me). Karma was fun for a little while, until it just became a 'punish Rob and Diarmuid because their views are different to ours' tool.

Hay, wo! I was on a perfectly respectable -3 or -4 when you got rid of it, that's not even in the same ball park as you.
Although it was basically people not liking our style of moderating, yes.
