    You lack reading comprehension: I pointed out a jealousy over a friend (unisex) unless of course you're asexual which would make your assertion amusing.
    It works on conservatives too and most religious affiliations. Nothing a savage headhunter might prize more than "turning out" a Metrosexual. Birds do it, bees do it, even educated trees do it. The Craigslist section I mentioned has something for everyone. I mean if you can't get laid there,( could be you, if you talk to others like you do here) you might as well pack it up and go do that research in the remote arctic, that you've been meaning to get around to.

    I would site cases over audio sampling . By changing the recording by at least 5% it could be utilized. So run some filters over the film portion of the program.Change it by 5%, although if narration appears and covers more than 5% of the audio, which it probably does. So, do we weigh a 5% portion of a digital file to find how many bytes are audio and how much is video? Originating in what codec? If audio is only 10% of the whole thing,then covering half with narration or voice overs and sound effects would fullfill that. If audio is 30% of the file, then much less adjustment is needed.

    Yes,but once Nintendo set the precedent, what mushrooms from that? Whatever's acceptable stays that way till litigation or legislation. Hmm.. let's think... what other filmmakers could that affect if you can't use certain media, maybe you can't use certain locations or those locations can't have certain elements. Will a company be able to sue successfully because it's product appears in a scene of a movie it dislikes? Maybe they just want a huge chunk of the revenue when they see their element in a movie like Nintendo. This has just been a minute of thinking by me. How about legal dept. everywhere taking some time to think of the possibilities.
    It would be in Hollywoods best interest, any filmmakers best interest to snip Nintendos testes right now.

    Or how about a class action lawsuit? Do clothing designers take Hollywood profits because their clothes are on actors?
    I think in fact not only should Nintendo not get ANY money, because they already did when they sold the movie making tool to the customer, but they should have to pay for product placement. Stick that in your court and litigate it. Remember Hollywood will be watching that one closely, and could even donate some shysters to the cause.

  11. Re:This is completely irrelevant... on Tanzania Fossils May Pinpoint Critical Split Between Apes and Monkeys · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    My step-dad hated every ape and monkey. I remember a trip to the zoo as a child. Rhesus monkeys were kept on an island with a play castle and a mote with a 15 ft wall surrounding the mote. He chewed plug tobacco. Reaching in his pockets he withdrew a "cake" of "Days Work" and a pocket knife. He cut a plug approx. .5" x .5" and threw it to the monkeys on the island. They fought like Vikings for the prize and the winner climbed to the peak of the castle to eat his plug. Soon he was hanging by one arm and foot, wobbling dizzily, he toppled to the beach. In a few minutes he was back in the fray for another plug of tobacco.

              I'm fine with keeping monkeys and apes in the wild. I lost my taste for that side of the zoo when I went through a section of Orangutans in their playground, behind thick glass. A 10ish year old girl was trying to figure out what the funny munky was doing, when he blew his load on the glass, right where her face was.
    I can understand his hate for apes and monkeys, but don't share his zeal. On the other hand it would be a kick to hear Charlton Hesston narrate the above article.

    To assign credibility as though it were linked to politesse does more damage to information than radical Islam has already done to Buddha statues.
    It may be easy to call out "nutcase" for those who offend your " sensibilities", but recall that todays nutcase is tomorrows leader. Try it with a pinch of salt, but, if you are just hearing this here,now, it is surely closer to reality there. If you are hearing only one Muslim voice, what about those you don't hear?
    Perhaps you should check yourself once or twice and don't write off those who offend you.
    Perhaps "racial and religious epithets" reflect a cause for which they are invoked by those trespassed against. It doesn't muddy raw information anymore than emotional campaigning for political causes linked to scientific endeavors do. It is merely frosting on an information cake, scrape it off and analyze the cake.
