Maybe it's me, maybe it's who ever wrote the summary pulling something out his ass. But I don't think I've ever played a song with a I-III-IV progression.
Then again I play blues and country which tend to be different variations of I-IV-V.
Wow. You mean you've never watched a movie that made you feel something? Or one that made you think, or contemplate a moral dilemma?
I'm an avid reader, but that doesn't preclude me from enjoying a film, or having one make me think.
Just as you can say that a lot of movies are just candy. Most books that are published are more for entertainment as well. Even so if you're a visual person, the way that dark spooky wood is shown can give the viewer the same satisfaction that a well written paragraph can.
They are merely different mediums which can convey the same thoughts, and emotions in their own way. Neither is inherently better than the other.
a reliance party may continue to exploit that derivative work for the duration of the restored copyright if the reliance party pays to the owner of the restored copyright reasonable compensation . ..
Whoa, wait, what? Is it just because I haven't had any coffee yet? Or does that say that someone who created a work based on something that was public domain when it was created, would have to start paying the new rights holder after copyright is restored?
That seems to fly in the face of Ex-post Facto to me, rather than display how it doesn't interfere with it. Sigh...
The first engineering company I worked at there was a group of 8-10 of us in the drafting department (mid 80's so real drafting with pens, velum, and drafting tables) who brown bagged our lunches. None of us really had similar outside interests. But every day we'd sit around a big round table and play Uno as we ate.
We didn't talk about work. We made fun of each other and joked around, and no one thought twice about slapping their immediate supervisor with a "draw 4" card.
You're missing the point. That point being that different peppers not only have different levels of capsaicin concentration, they also have different flavors.
Although scotch bonnet, and a habenero peppers have similar scoville ratings. The way they effect the taste of what you put them in is different. Just like bourbons that have the same ABV taste different because of the differences in the mashes used by the distillers.
I scratched an itch near my eye once after eating a cayenne just before leaving to teach a class at the community college. All of my students thought I was really upset over something.
My favorite video of that sort is where a guy gets his (soon to be ex) girlfriend to eat a tablespoon of chili powder by telling her it's cinnamon. Hilarity, and a really pissed off chick, ensues.
Exactly. I work in the graphics shop of a defense contractor, and can't tell you how often we get in piece of equipment where the software that drives the thing requires admin rights for no apparent reason. Everything from disc duplicators, to a pneumatic driven matt cutter. Utter nonsense!
To make matters worse our IT dept. has a no admin rights policy in effect, so those machines that require admin rights have to run with a script that uses the help desk login no matter who is logged onto the machine. So when somebody leaves the help desk team and they change that password our machine is useless until they come down and do a reset. Total PITA.
Actually they did spend time discussing new authors self publishing. Specifically when they were talking about the "yea, buts" from the industry types who say "Sure Konath can do it but.." Then they go on to point out that there are people are who have no history with legacy publishing who are doing well, and the more of those there are the less clout the "yea, but" argument has.
As an aside to that, they also discuss how long it took for the NY Times to add e-books to the bestseller list, and even then only include e-books from the big publishing houses.
I'm actually all in favour of self-publishing, but it is not a magic bullet. If you think you can market and sell 1000s of copies, then off you go. But for the vast majority, they'll be sitting in the attic for years to come.
They were discussing self-publishing e-books. So they don't have to worry about storing copies that don't sell.

Thank you for saving me from playing the pedantic ass.

If I use you, and the knowledge you acquired while studying by hiring you? Then yes.
For sitting on your ass eating cheetos? Then no.

Thanks for adding the on-topic bit. I'd forgotten what the article was about.
Hell, I saw it on ESPN Monday, or Tuesday.
To paraphrase "A Fish Called Wanda"

Wanda: Yes they do Otto, they just don't understand them!
I want them to make Polyphonic stop asking me 4 f'ing times if want want to login to PSN before letting me into GT5.

Then you understand wrong. The place where you buy a car is a dealership.
In the case of an auto shop, shop doesn't mean a place to buy, it means a place to work on stuff.
Really. I mean it's not like opening day of a movie based on a comic book or anything.
It was actually more like a Jai-alai glove.

Yep, my boss once maced his whole family by putting dried habeneros into a food processor.

Except for the F-35.
Then I guess my '87 Jag with seized rear brake calipers is doing great!
Wish I hadn't already commented in this thread. I've got mod points that this comment deserves.

Yes. All of them.
