NicerGuy writes "Today I was bored and decided to check out pixar.com. I hadn't been there in a long time, but was pleasantly surprised to find that they have finally made all(?) of their animated shorts available for download. The films, which are in QuickTime format, include my favorites: Geri's Game and Luxo Jr."

Ooh, so confusing

[at-b]

I just dunno. My value system is mightily screwed up here, guys.

Pixar == Disney distribution == Disney == bad.

but

Pixar == nifty films == good!

but

Pixar == Steve Jobs == Apple == bad!

but

Apple == iPod == lame?

(this is where it gets confusing)

Pixar (also) == Linux == geeky == GOOD!

but

Linux == Pixar films == more money to MPAA == BAD!

but

Linux == less money to Bill Gates == GOOD!

but

Pixar == Apple == Sorenson Codec == BAD!

but

Sorenson Codec == Good Quality at Reasonable Size == GOOD!

but

Pixar == Apple != Linux == BAD!

but

Apple == OSX == BSD == GOOD!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaargh!

Thinking in more than one direction is really confusing. Someone post something about MS embracing and extending something, even if it's just an elastic band. Please? I need my world to be set right again.

Maybe a frogurt?

Since already the 2 statements:

1. Pixar == nifty films == good!
2. Pixar == Steve Jobs == Apple == bad!

Prove that (since == is transetive):

• good == bad

And it's a generally accepted axiom that:

• good != bad

When we apply the usual axiom of negation:

• A == B !(A != B)

We get:

• !(good == bad)

We can now invoke the usual definition of && to prove:

• (bad == good) && !(bad == good) -> false

Establishing that your proof-system is not sound and thus you should expect it to be confusing, since it can prove any statement what-so-ever.

I suspect, that if you remove the "transetive" property from your definition of "==" your system may become sound, but unfortunatly not as funny.

Logic is not easy, but it's good clean fun

Anyone else think this is funny?

Disney/Pixar most definitely do not like DreamWorks, and vice versa. Ever notice how Farquad (the villain in Shrek) looks amazingly like Micheal Eisner, and that saying "farquad" fast enough sounds a lot like "fuck wad"? These guys dislike each other on a personal level.
