- getting paid is not a copyright violation. copying without permission is a copyright violation, but . . . - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:52 15
  - I do get that it's complicated. I just do not want to deal with it at all. And more importantly, I don't want any - loosilu Jun 17, 10:52 14
    - relax. there are thousands of SW character sketches out there done by cartoonists at conventions, and they never get sued. you got legal prescedent. -- nm - peglegpete Jun 17, 10:54 9
      - I don't want to draw the damn SW characters. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 10:54 8

        then its not as cool as it could be. go improve it. -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 10:58
        
        ah, finally the truth comes out... ;) -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 10:55
    - then don't put them in your portfolio. -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 10:54 3
      - Word. -- nm - Jim Jun 17, 10:57
      - I want to put it in my portfolio, obviously. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 10:54 1
        
        Of note: if woot is selling this, being far more famous than you, I suspect you have nothing to worry about. -- (link) - TFox Jun 17, 10:56
- you are a minor feesh. I want the homeowners who commissioned it -- nm - George Lucas Jun 17, 10:51
O.J. Simpson verdict reaction - great piece, especially the end in the barber shop which JenBro liked...gives a whole new perspective. -- (link) - CrankYanker Jun 17, 10:47 2
- ok - to clarify - I wasn't saying I agreed with the barber shop stuff - but that it was viewpoints and footage I hadn't seen before - found it - JenBro Jun 17, 11:02
- I couldnt get through that, too annoying. I must be a racist. -- nm - ErinGoBragh! Jun 17, 10:55
multiverse poll: do you think, all things being relatively equal, you would be the same person you are today if you had grown up in a different time? - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:46 15
- Not a chance. -- nm - nubby Jun 17, 10:53 1
  - you could have been the patent clerk who discovered relativity! -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:55
- Same? Of course not. Similar? Yes. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 10:53
- No. I think Starfleet would have changed me some how -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:50 4
  - made you more of a weenie than Wesley Crusher? that would be impressive -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:52 3
    - Maybe they would make him less of a weenie than he is now. - evil future crash davis Jun 17, 10:57
    - No, I'm thinking that all my experiences with Orion Slave Girls would have made me a bit more cocky and arrogant -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:53 1
      - or the space syphillis would have dropped you dead. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 10:56
- I doubt it. The Internet has hugely shaped who I am. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 10:49 1
  - Tall? -- nm - oblique Jun 17, 10:50
- I highly doubt it. I'm a product of divorced hippie parents, definitely. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 10:48 1
  - my brutha. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 17, 10:53
- unlikely. -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 10:48
- doubtful -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 10:47
- no -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 17, 10:47
Anyone watch Work of Art last night? thoughts? -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 10:45 10
- it's less interesting to me now that I have seen 2 episodes. contemporary art honors the talentless way too much -- nm - peglegpete Jun 17, 10:49 8
  - Hmmm, it's getting more interesting to me now to see how they work. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 10:50 7
    - true, but I thought the winner's piece sucked, and last weeks winner should haver won again -- nm - George Lucas Jun 17, 10:52 6
      - I kind of liked the winner's piece. which did you think was better? -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 10:53 2
        
        spoiler - peglegpete Jun 17, 10:56 1
        
        oh, I didn't think that one was so great. I've seen that before. - loosilu Jun 17, 11:00
      - interesting, george -- nm - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:52 1
        
        No one understands art better than the creator of Jar Jar Binks. -- nm - David Jun 17, 10:55
      - oops, autonik -- nm - peglegpete Jun 17, 10:52

Twilight Zone marathon on SyFy today -- nm - amoxy Jun 17, 10:45
Oblique - re: citizen benefits of drilling/mining - Dr.Vermin Jun 17, 10:44 4
- oil & gas royalties and their correct level are a constant subject of political discussion here. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 10:46 3
  - correct level is max plus some! -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 17, 10:47 2
    - I believe you'd be strung up as a communist, here. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 10:50 1

- agreed ... spoiler - JenBro Jun 17, 11:04
Wait, so Joe Hill is Stephen King's son? Huh. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 10:39 10
- i had that realization in the middle of the night while i was reading HSB - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:41 3
  - also, he looks *exactly* like him. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 10:43
  - Their writing style is rather similar, looking back. - JaxSean Jun 17, 10:43 1
    - I like King but Hill is already better with conversations than his dad. -- nm - David Jun 17, 10:45
- Yes and it's tremendously cool of him not to leach off his dad's name. - David Jun 17, 10:41 3
  - very much so. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 10:44
  - Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 10:42
  - yeah, building his career on his own merits is pretty awesome. -- nm - ty97 Jun 17, 10:41
- yep -- (link) - ty97 Jun 17, 10:40 [Image]
- Stephen King's OLD -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 17, 10:40
I am such a slow writer. - Dano Jun 17, 10:39 2
- Wasting too much time looking at porn in between sentences. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 17, 10:40
- SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW WRITER! -- nm - Foghat Jun 17, 10:40
Grrrrr...I was hoping to see this when my sister was in town in a couple weeks. - znufrii Jun 17, 10:39
FRA 0 - 3 MEX is my estimate -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 17, 10:38
mel cleans up nice - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:36

- This won't bring back your honey! -- nm - Nic Cage Jun 17, 10:36
- when The Swarm came out and i was 10, i was ridiculously afraid of the killer bees coming up from south america -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:35 4
  - I had a book of disasters when I was a kid, and killer bees was one of them. - Roger More Jun 17, 10:36 3
    - also, New York City was going to be underwater by the year 2000 or something -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:37
    - That's quite a range. - Reagen Jun 17, 10:37 1
      - It was all in categories - earthquakes, volcanoes, ship sinkings, etc. The Montreal one was a money disaster, like the 1929 stock market crash -- nm - Roger More Jun 17, 10:42
- Sci-Fi makes a movie in 3...2... -- nm - David Jun 17, 10:35 1
  - Killer Bees and Mega-Shark vs The World! -- nm - Don Homer Jun 17, 10:36

Ulysses question: are people thinking they'll read it unassisted, or use some Cliffs Notes type of study guide along the way? - TFox Jun 17, 10:30 8
- Is that the next ST reading group book? If so, yikes. -- nm - Diva Jun 17, 10:33 6
  - It's not. More of a gargantuan side project. -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 10:34 5
    - just some light summer reading. - ty97 Jun 17, 10:36 4
      - I was anti-them, knowing how most students use them. But I also know I may miss something here or there (esp not having read the Odyssey, for example) - TFox Jun 17, 10:38 3
        
        i don't do cliff's notes but for something like Ulysses, i would definitely get an annotated version if possible (i love my Oxford Shakespeare) -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:39 2
        
        This was my thought, though this post makes a seemingly coherent argument that a lot of annotations is a good way to get bogged down and bored with it - TFox Jun 17, 10:46 1
        
        (this post, i mean. duh and shit.) -- (link) - TFox Jun 17, 10:46
- i'm thinking i'll never bother reading it period - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:31
Fun with numbers, NBA Finals edition: - TFox Jun 17, 10:27 1
- one stat i heard that i found surprising is that Phil Jackson has never coached a game 7 in the finals -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:28
Top Chef last night (spoiler) - crash davis Jun 17, 10:16 1
- Spoilers - David Jun 17, 10:30
there is a place to vote on topchefshow.com on whether Eric Ripert will make a better judge than Toby Young - crash davis Jun 17, 10:15 23
- I like Toby more than eric -- nm - peglegpete Jun 17, 10:32 2
  - ah, a distant relative of the Young family! -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:34 1
    - who still wants the Luscious Gale :) -- nm - peglegpete Jun 17, 10:37
- spoils from last night - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:30 4
  - Spoilers - David Jun 17, 10:33 1
    - I just love it when Tom Colicchio gets that "You are full of sh!#" look on his face. -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:36
  - spoils - - crash davis Jun 17, 10:33 1
    - Spoilers - David Jun 17, 10:35
- I actually like Toby fine. He sucked at first but then he grew into it pretty nicely. - Callisto Jun 17, 10:21 14
  - Eric is a demi-god to me, so I'm incredibly happy. He is half the reason I was a Jen fan last season. -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:42
  - never got the Toby hate -- nm - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:21 12
    - I've always found him to be a product containing vinegar and water. -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:26 2
      - but he admits to being that. he called his book How to Lose Friends and Alienate People -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:28
      - i don't get these Idaho put-downs -- nm - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:27
    - I didn't like him at first but found him okay by the end. I wish he hadn't forced the quips so much, though. -- nm - David Jun 17, 10:24 6
      - I always considered that his background is as a newspaper food critic, so his quips always seemed like they played better in that format than on TV. -- nm - Fuzzy Jun 17, 10:28 5
        
        I think that's probably true. On tv, it feels awkward more often than not. Meanwhile, Ripert's knowledge makes him a genius addition. - David Jun 17, 10:36 4
        
        I would like to see Hubert Keller as a full-time judge one season -- nm - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:39 3
        
        That would be *wonderful*. He was on a couple of times as a judge during the first season. -- nm - David Jun 17, 10:39 2
        
        Top Chef Master's (one) enduring legacy will be having allowed lots of people to see what a great guy he is. -- nm - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:42 1
        
        love Hubert - but it had another legacy to me, every Saturday I tivo Rick Bayliss's show on PBS -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:43
    - (and i read a rumor that Fabio from a few seasons ago was in the running for the new judge's spot) - prayformojo Jun 17, 10:22 1
      - I ADORED him ... he was so entertaining! -- nm - JenBro Jun 17, 11:09
Will: where? - kelly Jun 17, 10:09 13
- Richmond...and another out in the Tysons area. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 10:15 12
  - Eh, better than WA, right? :) -- nm - kelly Jun 17, 10:17 11
    - Dear Lord yes. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 10:18 10
      - I see two silly East Coasters -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:18 9
        
        i would think he would want to get as far away from Volt as possible -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:19 8
        
        Why? Its my understanding that it doesn't exist in Will's mind, so no need to get away. -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:20 7
        
        Hey, we've now crossed Melting Pot off the list...now we can work on Volt! :) -- nm - kelly Jun 17, 10:27 5
        
        oh, I missed that - congrats on the Melting Pot trip! Did you like that? -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:37 3
        
        I *loved* it. - kelly Jun 17, 10:43 2
        
        sorry to hear about the cheese, their classic cheese with the Gruyere is one of my favorite things to eat - crash davis Jun 17, 10:46 1
        
        We ordered the special - "Big Night Out". Their cheese fondue is: - kelly Jun 17, 10:57
        
        YEAH!!! -- nm - David Jun 17, 10:29
        
        It's in a former church. The evil within keeps me away. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 10:25
For loosilu, maybe others. Might be interested in this deal for Painter 11 -- (link) - oblique Jun 17, 10:08 1
- good deal. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 10:12
Giants WR Domenik Hixon out for the season -- (link) - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:07 1
- Marvin Harrison must be stopped. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 17, 10:15
LIR: SYTYCD: The format this year is awful. What I realized was missing last night is any sort of building of the couples and their chemistry. Maybe - oblique Jun 17, 10:04
monkey vs tiger -- (link) - marcel Jun 17, 10:04 [youtube] 4
- I love this -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 10:38
- "Looking back, the lion was a bad idea. That's why Dr. Shockla is gonna hook us up with a monkey. I'm gonna teach it taekwondo." -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 10:27
- that's crazy. I wouldn't believe this unless I saw it. - Mel Profit Jun 17, 10:19
- Megamonkey vs Supertiger! -- nm - SyFy Jun 17, 10:15
like the fly you will never understand there are greater things than your pile of dung -- nm - lafarrow Jun 17, 10:03 3
- Said with a bitter beer face -- nm - amoxy Jun 17, 10:28
- hear that, spawn? -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 17, 10:04 1
  - I'm betting you wrote that one down didn't you? -- nm - JenBro Jun 17, 11:09
Wow, this is really nice. My school only raised tuition by $1500, about 3.5%. Much lower than what other schools are doing. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 17, 10:02
oops -- nm - decline Jun 17, 10:02
