  1. You're not alone.

  6. Re:Won't Be Star Trek on CBS, Paramount Settle Lawsuit Over 'Star Trek' Fan Film (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is, and it's admittedly *my* problem... Once I know it's a veiled copy, every lame name change, every alteration so that "it doesn't upset the lawyers" will snap me out of what I'm watching and make me roll my eyes. Much like Andromeda. I have no idea how much of the Kevin Sorbo "takeover" of Andromeda made it look cheesier than normal Star Trek, or if it was simply the "Action Pack" production company's fault... But I tried hard... But in the end Andromeda was border-line unwatchable.

  7. Re:How is CBS and Paramount harmed by fan fiction? on CBS, Paramount Settle Lawsuit Over 'Star Trek' Fan Film (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, apparently, the damages *could* be something like, "Hey, we can crowd-fund this cool Axanar thing, or we could go buy the Star Trek Beyond DVD..."

    As for the donations to cover production... It seems the sticking point was they used the money to pay for tangible equipment and a studio that could be considered profit. I'm not sure if that's accurate 100% or if there was something else.

    Damn straight. My buddy had me and another friend over to watch ST: Renegades... and we sat through it because, hey, Chekov, and all... Or whatever, it's Star Trek.... Then I said, "Well, that's cool, but check THIS out." (Played Axanar) They were both amazed how good it was in comparison.

    I think I'm with you... But you seem to know more than I've heard/read. I got banned from their facebook page when I asked about the production studio and equipment that was paid for with the Axanar crowd-funding money. Was there something else, as well?

    If it continues, it'll be rewritten and we'll end up with fewer of the cool actors that were in prelude.... We'll eventually see what was done to Andromeda to make it non-Star Trek

    Just in case you (or anyone else reading this) doesn't know, there is a very very convincing, and solid theory that JarJar was in fact THE Phantom Menace alluded to in the title. Check youtube for jarjar sith theory and check them out. I'm not saying I'm 100% convinced, but I need a better reason to disbelieve than just the fanboy hate of GL thinking, "aww, no, he's not clever enough to do that."

  13. I'd bet small amounts of money:
    Some agency (FBI, CIA, DOE, etc) has known about it for over a year.
    It was just revealed by order of outgoing administration.
    Some numb-nuts had a VNC or RDP firewall rule added so he could monitor/work/help from home.

  14. That settles it, then. on Apple CEO Tim Cook Calls AirPods 'a Runaway Success' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sure we need no further proof, since Cook says so. I'm sure Bill Gates nor Steve Balmer said anything positive about Windows ME or Vista shortly after their releases.

    He did this to people calling him a pedophile, not people he discovered that voted the way he didn't want.

  17. This is going to increase crowd density in the theaters that survive. Hundreds of theaters will close because there won't be enough new movies to come out to be theater draws, and thousands maybe tens of thousands of jobs will be lost.

  18. The software you use to play it has to decide whether they want to support it. If they do, THEY pay the licensing fee which is either passed on to you by charging for the application, asking for donations, or absorbed by them.

    I don't like the trend one bit, either, but you act as if the "other side" was gleaming and pristine the whole time. Windows Vista? Windows 8? How many Mac users do you think were even remotely tempted to switch over, as the hardware started getting locked down more and more? "What, we've got to go to *THAT*? Even the most die-hard windows fans are ready to lynch Bill and Steve..." (Yeah, windows 7 was fine. There's a small shop in my town that still had a sign up that says, "We can install windows 7" a few months ago.

    I think you're mostly right on point with that. There have been people like Colin Powell, though, who for a while, stood a decent chance at getting R's and D's to work together. He missed the chance, though.
