But has plagiarism occurred? I argue yes, and the definition of plagiarism certainly helps my argument: to commit literary theft : present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.
Ok, and if I were to combine say, Nirvana and Destiny's Child, and pass it off as my own, that would be plagiarism. But thats not what we're talking about.
Maybe "adult" doesn't have to mean "porn". Maybe I want to watch grown up shows. Six Feet Under and The Sopranos aren't "porn" but they're definitely "adult".
WooHoo! Now I can communicate securely with everybody in my unobstructed direct line of sight! Without fiber!
Wait... I could already do that by walking over to them and whispering in their ear. Oh well.
I think if the person you're whispering to is six miles away it counts as shouting.:)
when you play monopoly or Quake, do you get the sense that someone is trying to communicate something to you? no? then how the fuck can it be speech?
When you watch an action movie, is there some overriding message? No it's just a bunch a shit blowing up! So of course movies aren't speech. Sorry, Godfather, Apocalypse Now, you don't count as art any more. Many many games ARE trying to communicate something to you. Ever played Deus Ex? Final Fantasy? Play the Marathon series and tell me it isn't communicating something. Fuck, even play Max Payne or AvP 2. Or continue on with your ignorant practice of judging an entire medium by a few crappy examples.
In my day, we actually saw the movie before deciding weather it was good or not...
Wow, it must be nice to have so much free time you can watch the thousands of movies that are made every year. The rest of us have to rely of clumsy methods such as: trailers, the actors and director's previous work, general plot ect. to decide which movies to spend time watching.
Get an iPod (Or another hard drive mp3 player if it doesn't need to be all that portable)
Pros:
* No disk to buy
* 20 megs of ram, so about 17 minutes of anti skip
* Good quality (up to 320 Kbps)
* Holds 2730 or 5461 minutes of music (at 256 Kbps)
* No copy protection
* Change the music on it, even use it as a portable hard drive
* Firewire, so you can upload to it fast. About 10 minutes to fill the entire 5 gigs.
Cons:
* Firewire, don't work less you got it.
* Expensive, $399 for the 5 gig one, $499 for 10 gigs.

Indeed. It would have done me no end of good if, when I was 11, my parents sat me down had a discussion with me about.... head butting.
You wouldn't think someone with a name like foobar104 would get so hot and bothered about the creative use of language.
Just me just say, Jet Li is an IDIOT. I'd be in the matrix 2&3 for 3 million! I just don't know how I'd raise that much money.
Geeze, the guy can't post a single comment without someone mentioning Wesley.

You're an AC, you are troll talk.

Unless it's on the Wedge.

Dude, for god's sake (no pun intended), IT'S A JOKE. IT'S FLAMEBAIT. And, oh, it looks like it hit it's mark.

That's a great idea, Joel.
