Fascinating, especially because since 1985 I have ALWAYS wondered how the light gun worked, but I just never looked into it.

I bought some USB NES controllers and got an emulator and lots of old games so my kids can play when they're big enough, but I wish I could have an actual NES console for them, like one that looks like the original but maybe is just all software-based or something.

More like 1985 style.

Nice rotoscoping! Would love to see a version of Take On Me!

i still think that crt's are the best. i no longer have a tv ditched it(1985 model) in the early 2000's. i also have a lot of vhs tapes with many music vids from mtv's "120 minutes" and usa's "night flight"

Or Cocoon (1985).

http://videosift.com/video/Peter-Kay-On-The-Art-Of-Dipping-Biscuits-In-Your-Cup-Of-Tea This was the first one. I'm thinking maybe I can't accumulate more PP if I've got more than two? I had three there, but thought you could have up to four? Still doesn't shed any light on why I didn't get a notification, but yeah And this one http://videosift.com/video/Queen-Live-Aid-Entire-Performance-July-13th-1985.

Ta.

The faulty piece of equipment doesn't bother me, that's something that occurs in my everyday life and we deal with it as best we can. What does bother me is the actions of the polling people...if what this person says is true they shouldn't be there doing the polling. Show them a problem and it's their job to either fix it or decommission the machine.


It bothers me. I've been a software developer for over 10 years (professionally, technically I've been developing software for 3 decades, I know how machines work extremely thoroughly). Even considering the fact that he didn't display the input result from every option presented, this is still entirely suspect.

Regarding voting machine systems: there is literally NOTHING there that requires even a modicum of tech that's post-1985. Maybe encryption would cause a bug like this, but encryption would NOT, under any realistic circumstance, cause a reproducible user-feedback/GUI error like this, because it would be employed to store the data, not display feedback of any kind.


>> ^EvilDeathBee:

Totally.
Also, I would've said to her "No, it's NOT OK! This machine is defective!" and demanded it be removed. I wonder if it's part of the machines that got the "Experimental Patch"


Yeah me too. I would have recorded the entire exchange, as well as getting her name and the specific voting location. I would not let it go, but would probably post it and collect as much evidence as possible. "Both" parties are lying sacks of no good shit, and I don't trust any of them. I am sick of fake, self-servers running the United States at the expense of the rest of the world.

Just to be clear... this particular video was indeed filmed in the '80s, but the song - including the recording used in this video - is from the early '70s. 1973 to be exact. People often forget just how long he's been in the biz. (This video was released in 1985 when they were promoting his mid-'80s greatest hits collection.)

There was actually a near identical video shot in '73 for the song, with the same recording used. It's here (and is cooler, methinks! - check out Joel's shaggy hairstyle):

Was this video made in 1985?

I think it looks cool. Also, I'm wearing acid wash jeans and a color changing t-shirt.
Hey, does that mean you've still got that rad Tears for Fears mixtape you borrowed?
