Hey I get to start the thread, with the Forbes Fictional Fifteen!
http://www.forbes.com/2002/09/13/400fictional.html
I didn' t know Forbes had a list of the richest fictional characters, until my husband started researching the biography of Scrooge McDuck. (Don't ask.)
-
he has an official continuity?

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but here's a link for SE:

Man, I hate it when that happens! Too bad you can't copyright ideas!
Condolences aside, though, those videos are super hilarious. I love the slime monsters with spanish accents. lol. Oh, and the mega dehydrater rocks.

This might technically belong in webcomics, but it has wide appeal and I wanted to make sure everyone saw it.
On the Dinosaur Comics message boards, people started taking Garfield comics and removing all of Garfield's dialogue. The change is amazing--what used to be a junk comic about a smart-aleck cat is suddenly a hilarious, minimalist comic about a pathetic man. I can't stop laughing at these:
http://www.truthandbeautybombs.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=4997
-
You can! See http://www.allrightsreserved.com
I haven't read thru all that legal stuff on that page. BUT, from my understanding, you can't copyright ideas per se, but the expression of those ideas. So you can copyright the a novel but you can't really copyright the plot-line. Now, TM is a whole different subject, and I don't wanna get into that. Still, the essense of copyright protection is what you produce from an idea, not the idea itself.
Guys--help me out?
-
NO.
We've had that discussion
we shan't again.
-
I meant not to have that discussion again BUT to help me find that thread. I don't remember what it was called. I'll try searching just "Copyright" or something, though... Sheesh. Â :P
Edit: I should've been more specific, though. Oops.
-
I'd just like to point out that Fell's last post about the minimalist Garfield comic is awesome, and is much more deserving of idle prattle than some legal crap.
-
Indubitably. I just hadn't gotten around to pulling up that link. Besides, Bot quoted me, so I was just sort of responding to that.
Aaanyway, I the "minimalist" Garfield strips did make me laugh and, normally, I don't care all that much for Garfield. Â (Crap, I forsee more sticks and stones headed my way... or maybe some angry ninja monkeys *sigh*)
-
I doubt there will be any sticks tossed over disliking Garfield.
-
Phew!
P.S. Do you remember the name of the thread where we talked about all that copyright stuff? I remember it was last year but I can't pull it up with any searches... Eh, on second thought, nevermind. It's not worth it. Let Bot be confused.

Ah ha. Well, I got that now, but sad to say I haven't found that "lucky" button link. However, I did find that delightfully accurate list of French defeats on that blacksheep site. Funny.
-
If you don't see the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, then you must not be on the main page for Google. If you just search in the Google toolbar, then it will actually give you normal results. You have to go to Google.com, put in the phrase, and click on the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button, which is right next to the "Google Search" button.
-
Note that the page that comes up is not *on* Google.
also, it matters little that Napolean was Corsican. He led a French Army and was the leader of the government of France. That makes his victories the victories of France.

The only problem I can see, or better, hear, is that it sounds worse than a freaking pack mule. Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. Over and over and over again. Oh man can that thing take a kick. It looked like it didn't like crossing a large puddle either.

It made me laugh with it's dainty little steps. Looked like 2 japanese women had their legs cut off and nailed onto a metal coffin.

Dude. It's only a matter of time now before people are riding that thing's descendants faster than cars and without the benefit of roads.

Legs are slower than wheels, always will be. But I guess off-road spider cars could be vaguely useful, as well as hilariously creepy.

...hilariously creepy.
You hit the nail on the head, there. They look so much like legs when they move, but they're attached funny. It was so strange to watch.

Rats! The mediaplayer video keeps stopping after only 15 seconds. Dang it, I wanted to watch the whole thing. I can't figure out why it's messing up either.

Yeah, I know. Kind of a stretch, there. Also, what possible use would they be for missionaries? (One of the gift suggestions is to send them to missionaries.)
They are cute, but only Mormons would think to send them to missionaries themselves.

FirstMateJack, those aren't really action figure so I think you are still free to make the Elder aciton figures. Also, I doubt Fisherprice would be able to sue you for making mission characters becayse their idea is probably to generic to be copyrighted. However, the market might be saturated by the time you get your action-figures out.

Very funny film, about a mad bunch of guys who try to recreate LotR.

I post this more for its interesting premise than the video itself. Maverick is apparently a business consulting firm, and their new advertising campaign is a web video of three women (the Maverettes) singing "Our House Up the River from Wall Street," a spoof song about corporate criminal behavior. The intention, I assume, is for everyone to pass the video around (just like I'm doing here!) so that it permeates web culture and eventually a CEO will see it and hire them. Not a new tactic by any means, but a pretty transparent attempt at it.
The song itself is vaguely amusing, but it's never as funny as it sounds like it should be.
http://www.maverickllc.com/new_pages/oh_video.html
-
yeah, they.. uhm... should have stuck with a song and spoofed it, rather than trying to combine 3, and gotten more professional actresses/singers. It was like it was trying to be an amateur production and a professional one at the same time.
-
I agree, very amateurish. The girls did not seem like professional singers or dancers. Doesn't really show off the company well.

Hey I found this messing around on Wikipedia:

it's the complete fictional history of the Sith (in Star Wars)
Wikipedia also has the history behind every Jedi or Sith Lord ever mentioned in comics, video games, etc. They did this just for fun, but it's still pretty neat because I'm such a big Star Wars fan.
Oh, and apparently there is Wookipedia, Star Warspedia, Sith Lord pedia, and Star Trek pedia too! ha ha

Get BYU's Daily Universe on your computer for free:
http://universe.newsstand.com/
I know a lot of people make fun of the "Unifarce," but I still like to read it and keep up to date with what's going on at BYU. Plus it lets me know what activities are going on. For example, I was able to find out that the MOA was having a kids day with face painting, balloons, activities, etc. for free and it just happened to coincide with my niece's birthday (who was turning 6). Would have never known other wise and it was a perfect birthday activity.
Plus it's fun to read what people argue about in the letters section. Like right now they're arguing about whether the government has the right to make helmet and seat belt laws. Riveting stuff.
And if nothing else, there is the comics and the crossword puzzle.

No doubt. I had a couple of letters to the editor published while I was a student at the Y. On both occasions what they printed had been fundamentally changed from what I had written, and it became apparent as I spent hours trying to get it corrected that the person proofing the letters had simply not understood what I was saying and so changed it to something they could understand, which is to say, something stupid. I eventually had to go to the head editor on both occasions and the staff I had to go through on the way to him simply didn't understand what my objection was.
-
I worked for a while with a Journalism major at the Y. He asked me once if I'd ever considered going into the FBI. I said I had and he asked me why. He said he wanted to know for an article he was writing for the Universe on why the FBI has so many mormons in it and recruits so heavily at the Y.
When I was done explaining my reasons for considering it he said he wasn't going to use my answers because they didn't "fit his concept" I dug a little further and discovered that, according to him, the reason you write a news piece is to prove a point and so, to that end, you simply don't include contradictory facts or information. He was serious and thought I was a little "slow" for thinking otherwise.
I have had a very low opinion of Journalism at the Y ever since.
-
That isn't just the Y.
When my mother was mayor of our city she was confronted by several different media sources who would ask her what she wanted the research to say.
They explained it that they can get the polls and the stories to say anything she would like it to and it will tend to sway the people who do not know any better. Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy thing.
I think most people are discovering this in the media and news and starting to reject the polls when they hear them.
I have no love for the big media. Too biased.

I hear ya there!! Pacman was WAAAAY better than Ms. Pacman. Besides, Space Raiders and Jungle Hunt were king in the days of the Atari.

Besides, Atari was cool in its day! It had it's time, that time has passed. Now for the apes. Maybe they will play on the Wii and PS3 in a few years! I say Project X or whatever, they can fly apparantly.

did you SEE the Atari pacman? It sucked even for the day.

Ya, SE's right the Atari packman was horrid, it didn't even play the same as the arcade version. Though the Ms. Packman for the 7800 wasn't bad.

http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/01/transparent-nxt-soundvu-equipped-screen/
Japan's Dai Nippon Printing Co. (DNP) is set to make the country even more futuristic this fall when they release their transparent "Crystal Illusion Screen" equipped with NXT's where's-that-sound-coming-from SoundVu technology. The screen itself measures a respectable 46 inches in old-school 4:3 and is coated with a special liquid crystal material that apparently only reflects the light from the projector, making it usable even in brightly lit areas. NXT's SoundVu system takes the display's flexibility even further, eliminating the need for external speakers, instead magically producing sound from the screen itself. It's not clear, however, if the projector is actually part of the system or if you have to supply your own. We hope it's the former, cause the screen's gonna cost you a hefty 480,000 Yen (over $4,000) when it launches in October.

actually, the larger argument right now is whether to stop calling Pluto a planet. I understand that they're supposed to make a final decision this month on that.
-
If the resolution is approved, the 12 planets in our solar system listed in order of their proximity to the sun would be Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon, and the provisionally named 2003 UB313. Its discoverer, Michael Brown of the California Institute of Technology, nicknamed it Xena after the warrior princess of TV fame, but it likely would be rechristened something else later, the panel said.
I think we should most definitely have a planet named Xena.

see, what's funny about it is that the article says it *is* a planet. A dwarf planet, but all that does is add a qualifying adjective before the noun.

It's obviously shrunk since we last saw it.
-
So much so that it will no longer be taught in the lineup of planets in elementary school.
My nephew is going to be disappointed. He recently learned all the planets--and now his super-cool mobile is incorrect. We'll have to take Pluto off. ::)
But, you're right E. Pluto and Xena are dwarf planets. But it is still a stab at Pluto's status. ;)

Do we have a designated thread for "interesting news stories"?
We probably should. Then instead of having a new topic each time one of us wants to comment on an interesting news story, we'd have a big long conglomerate thread. Which has its pros and cons--but more pros, I think.

Anousheh Ansari is the first civilian to blog from beyond Earth's orbit (http://spaceblog.xprize.org/by-anousheh/).

Obviously she is using some crappy server from way out in parts out of earth's orbit. Quite possibly on the moon, or maybe even Saturn. It does take much too long to load some of these pages. And the layout is rather... drab, even for off-worlders.
-
Their primary sense isn't sight. In fact, it's something that Earthlings haven't developed yet. The lag is from their server trying to translate it into something we can see or hear, and failing miserably.

www.freeconferencecall.com
This is a free service that gives you a number you can use for conference calls. You have to pay normal long distance charges (but so many people have free long distance, that is negligible). And I know most of you don't have a business where you'd need to have a conference call, per se, but I was thinking how nice it would be if you just wanted to have a call with multiple members of your family so you could all catch up at once. And people can come on to the call or leave the call whenever they want without causing a disruption with other people on the call. I just think it's cool!
And I've personally used the service and I thought it worked as should (i.e. no connection errors or not being able to hear people).

Line Rider! (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/40255643/)

Love the blue Screen of Death? Well now you can get your very own screen saver from Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/BlueScreen.mspx
One of the most feared colors in the NT world is blue. The infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) will pop up on an NT system whenever something has gone terribly wrong. Bluescreen is a screen saver that not only authentically mimics a BSOD, but will simulate startup screens seen during a system boot.
But don't expect to be able to download it if you use McAfee.
McAfee, for one, is actively preventing users from downloading the software. The company's security research team told ZDNet UK this week: "This is not a false positive. We are intentionally detecting this as Joke.Bluescreen.c, as it's meant to scare people."

The end of the year and the end of a thread (I reckon we'll be starting a new one in a couple days, since we're at almost 25 pages now) is a good time to review and take stock. So here's some best/worst lists for you. Technically, only one is actually about this year. But I reckoned, what the heck. I chose these based on humor. and all but the first one more because of the writing skill than the actual lists.
CNet's Worst Tech of 2006 (so far). (http://www.cnet.com/4520-11524_1-6478472-1.html)

Radar's Most Dangerous Toys of all time (http://www.radarmagazine.com/features/2006/12/toys.php)

Arthur's Hall of Viking Manliness presents the 10 Most Manly Video Games Ever (http://www.arthurshall.com/x_2006_manly_video_games.shtml)
Warning, there's some language in this one that will put several of you off. Plus one of the games is literally the most tasteless and misogynist games *ever* (#3, Custer's revenge -- also featuring what I think might be a screenshot of some early 2 bit porn, so you might want to skip #3 altogether). From the bit about Streetfighter: "Although I was not sure if anyone who called himself a "Yoga Master" could be truly manly, Dalsim's ability to dislocate nearly all of his joints and club you with his arms and legs has caused me to rethink my initial position on this issue."

I am unfamiliar with such an armadillo. Needless to say, that would be the coolest armadillo ever.
-
actually, in all seriousness, they do leap. Usually when they're frightened. It's quite comical. I've got a picture book full of photos of them. I now wonder why anyone would want to look at a picture of an armadillo if it wasn't a foot off the ground, legs sprawled out, tail dangling. Of course this also always makes me imagine them leaping when a car is "charging" them, then they get slapped into the front grill, and either stick there like something out of Looney Tunes or else are flung to bounce off something else as they roll into a ball.
I may need some help.

I was looking at past Google April Fool's jokes, and I found the FAQ for Google Gulp (http://www.google.com/googlegulp/faq.html) funny (mostly because they know how to laugh at themselves; many of the questions seem to be referencing Gmail). I especially like the last question/answer:
11. When will you take Google Gulp out of beta?
Man, if you pressure us, you just drive us away. We'll commit when we're ready, okay? Besides, what's so great about taking things out of beta? It ruins all the romance, the challenge, the possibilities, the right to explore. Carpe diem, ya know? Maybe we're jaded, but we've seen all these other companies leap headlong into 1.0, thinking their product is exactly what they've been dreaming of all their lives, that everything is perfect and hunky-dory – and the next thing you know some vanilla copycat release from Redmond is kicking their butt, the Board is holding emergency meetings and the CEO is on CNBC blathering sweatily about "a new direction" and "getting back to basics." No thanks, man. We like our freedom.

I was in the States last year and everyone kept asking me if they were just like loony tunes made them out to be. Yes they are nasty little buggers and I've had to share a tent with one before (you guys have bears after your food, we have the Tassie devil helping himself to ours). They have the strongest jaw for their size and only feed on carion, still I wouldn't want to suprise one. However, they don't spin around fast and demolish everything in their path. Unfortunately most of our 'wild' population are contracting a deadly facial tumour and while research is currently being done to find out what, where and how of this disease, it's looking grim. Pretty soon it'll only be ones in the parks that can be seen.

When I was a teenager, my friend Jon Clark (we called him Schroom for reasons completely inexplicable) bought a book at the skate shop in the mall (it was the only store in the mall that sold RPG and bookshelf games like Avalon Hill). It was called Killer and was released by Steve Jackson games.
Killer was proto-LARP (published, I believe, in 1985). The idea was that all the players were assassins. Last one standing wins. You used squirtguns, nerf darts, or anything else that you registered with the referee as a weapon (variant: assign cash values and give the assassins an allowance). The problem was you were only allowed to kill your assigned target, after which you inherited their assignment. If you killed someone else, or an innocent bystander, you died too. The other rule is you couldn't be witnessed -- with one exception. If you wore a mask you could kill *anyone* you wanted, but in turn anyone was allowed to target you.
We played a massive game in high school, many of us getting detention for doing things like running into AP History classes wearing a ski mask and using a squirt gun on a target, then running out. My crowning achievement was taking out Raymond Soper. We were year book "computer editors" together, which meant we spent most of fifth period in the other room playing Bard's Tale (ah, Bard's Tale, how I loved thee! -- but that's another story). I renamed the Bard's Tale executable, and wrote a BASIC program that made the screen flash and present the words "BOOM! This computer has just blown up. You are now dead." Begin fifth period, I call John (the other "computer editor") into the main room to "ask him something." Wait 120 seconds. Hear scream of frustration from the other room. Grin with unnatural glee.
All this is a long way of preparing you for how awesome this link is. The problem with Killer is our current political environment. "Killing" people in public can not only get you detention, depending on how paranoid the local citizenry are, you could wind up in jail. At the very least you freak the crap out of everyone.
Enter Cruel 2 B Kind (http://cruelgame.com/). The principles are the same as Killer, though there are some complexities and point systems that I find very interesting. The main difference is that you "kill" by an act of kindness, three official "weapons" being determined by the referee and given power in a rock-scissors-paper scheme, so you can mediate ties. Thus, at worst, the local people will live in fear of packs of gamer nerds performing random acts of kindness.
By the way, Dan, I really admire those shoes.
-
That looks pretty damn neat. Reminds me of Organized Crime, a group game where you have to find the two secret killers before they kill off all the innocents. Much fun.

Kanye West is a douche who steals other people's music and calls it his own. . . IMO of course.

Oh, well, yes, I thought there was confusion in part to what the link was to, I'm sorry. Actually, the daft hands link noted there is a similar video to daft punk's original song, harder better faster stronger, and is all done in one shot with no editing (which in its own right is neat for what it is, but i personally like the one that's edited together, because it's much more fun to watch.)

I see. Yeah, the video was nifty, but I just don't like Kanye West.

Found this on Wired.
http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2009/02/browncoats-unit.html
NASA needs your help! They are looking to name the newest section of the International Space Station, Node 3, which is scheduled to be delivered by the Space Shuttle Endeavor in late 2009.
Votes are being taken at www.nasa.gov/namenode3. NASA is asking that the new name follow in the tradition set by the names given to Node 1, called "Unity," and Node 2, the "Harmony" module. Voting will continue until March 20 and the winning name will be announced in April.
There are four names to choose from on the right side of the screen. The front runner, as of this posting, is my personal favorite, "Serenity."
I just voted and it was at 82%. The name fits perfectly with the names the other two nodes already have (though it's kind of redundant to Harmony).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZlhpfCdyS4
-
Ah yes, that is very funny! ;D
-
I've never met a car insurance actuary who makes fun of women drivers.
-
Look...a few of those drivers are women. In a lot of the video there is no way to tell whether the driver is male or female. I am bad at parallel parking; does that make me a woman? Don't be a sexist pig.
-
If someones bad at driving, I laugh. Doesn't matter if they're male or female. I still think it's funny.
-
Look...a few of those drivers are women. In a lot of the video there is no way to tell whether the driver is male or female.
You are quite right. The same holds true for that last clip. It could be a woman. A woman won the nascar race a few years ago. Just goes to show that you can't take these things too seriously.
-
The bad driving was definitely funny, but its presentation was offensive.

This always makes me smile.

[Apparently, the animation is from a show called "Bleach"], and the song sounds a like it's a short clip from the Finnish group Loituma's song "Levan Polkka". Loituma makes some great music, and the entire song is pretty good (though listening to Finnish scat is kind of funny).
To contribute, here's a Youtube clip of them singing the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4om1rQKPijI&feature=related
They sound better when not live, obviously, but oh well.
Here's a Chipmunks version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJnOI9g6Z7M&feature=related
Oh, and here's an entire Bleach/Levan Polkka video (with the complete song, and some sort of accompaniment, which isn't something I'd heard before): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb_hG5q0OxQ&feature=related

I though Levan was spelled Llevan . . . O.o I dunno. ha ha. Yes, that is what it's from.
It's Orihime from Bleach.

Ah, evidently I've misspelled it:

It's "Ievan Polkka".

Whoa. Who would EVER need that many different tools in his pocket?
-
I'd say that definitely deserves a mention in one of Dan's serial killer books.

Not many pockets are big enough to fit that!

I use about that many tools, but that thing would be so unwieldy that it just wouldn't be worth it.
-
I use about that many tools
But what do you use those tools f–uh-oh. [jk] But seriously, what do you use that many tools for?
-
I'm a maintenance tech at the apartment complex I live in. The property is about 40 years old so lots of stuff can and do break all the time.
-
I use about that many tools, but that thing would be so unwieldy that it just wouldn't be worth it.
But do you use like 12 nearly-identical knives? I mean, I can imagine using the pliers and screwdrivers and nailclippers and such (though, as you say, that tool would be too unwieldy to be practical), but an awful lot of those tools look to me like they would serve the same function.

Sorry. I looked at it from the website and saw that they advertised something like 85 tools. I carry at least that many with me but they are all different. Though the difference might only be size in some cases

All of the knives have different shapes, which a carpenter would tell you they are all completely different tools.

Axis of Awesome: 4 Chords (Live) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1fQ1P4Mwlc)
It's basically some random band who took as many songs as they could find that used the same 4 chords and stuck them all together. That being said, I'm pretty sure that there are a couple of songs that they put in that don't actually use these chords, they just fit them as well. Either way, it's entertaining, and it does have a good point. Much of the music we listen to today is the exact same thing with different lyrics.

Dude, Nessa! You're active again! Wow! Does this mean you've finished moving?
Also, I love the quilts. My favorite is the original Zelda stuff.

It doesn't mean I've finished moving (which is in 2 weeks), it means I've quit World of Warcraft and have free time to read the forums again. I've been gone a while, I know. I'm semi-back.

lolol. And you were saying that you had been clean for so long.

lolol. And you were saying that you had been clean for so long.
I had been. THEN when WotLK came out the husband wanted to play, and well DANG I very well couldn't let him do it alone. So I went back, with a vengence, but have been 'clean' for 4 months now. Finally my hands don't itch for my keybindings anymore.
-
And just in time for the new expansion as well.
-
/cries
Don't remind me. I don't dare go there. Or else the itching will start up again.

QUICK what does it say??? Anyone? Anyone?
-
It says quilt. That's amusing.
Also, what you should do is get a timer set up. So you can play for a certain amount of time, and then your internet shuts off. Then you can enjoy the expansion without having to worry about spending too much time.
-
That would work probably for about a week. Then I would turn it off or something. Nah, it's better that I not play at all.

That's pretty much epic-sauce.

Nessa: Yeah, I think it's about the niftiest thing ever.
Haha. I've seen the Death Star watermelon before, though, and I have to admit that it is reasonably awesome. :P

So, I know this post is a bit old, but I just watched the clip. Love the ad as well. But, did anyone else happen to watch the "making of" clip associated with this commercial?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDk9jjdiXJQ
Twenty minutes long and really interesting. Radio guy has a bet going with a video editor that posits the whole thing was done in a single shot. Pretty cool stuff indeed.

It's cool to know how they did it. It was certainly a stupid idea to bet against it being one shot (though technically it was two for the diamonds). Betting on whether the horse/diamonds were CGI or not would have been a smarter bet.
Ee: awesome trailer, okay game, terrible movie. ;D
