]]>I spent a while trying to find my best fit. I believe I would be classified as Slavic. I have a distinct lack of hair on my stomach, long arms and trunk compared to legs, and a light beard compared to my hair. It’s not perfect; for instance, my eyes don’t match the generic light grey or blues, but it’s pretty fascinating to read through.
Don’t forget to check out the addendum.
]]>What is more interesting to me is that it is illegal to share even part of copywritten content. It makes sense that it is illegal to hand out full copies of a show or movie that you have no right to distribute. What doesn’t make sense is the illegality of sharing 5% or 1% of a file.
The line is not drawn ever because, really, how can you decide where the line should be drawn. Why would 10% be legal but 11% be a violation of copyright law.
It is, however, funny that by sharing a single byte I could be fined for violating copyright. How can you prove that was your byte? Further, what makes one show’s 0b11 different from another show’s 0b11?

]]>Personally, I think that most the Windows Vista complaints were people upset with change, no matter how big or small. These are the same people who complain whenever Facebook updates its layout.
Has anyone else installed Windows 7 this past week? If so, what did you think of it? If not, why?

It is clearly nap time.
]]>If you have the three and a half hours to spare and a theatre with a 3-D projector I really recommend going. The 3-D is very subtly and beautifully done and it really makes for a great time.
The movies really stand the test of time, they are as good now as I remember them being when I first saw them over ten years ago. I felt like they were even updated beyond the third dimension in some parts, with new jokes and some new dialogue, but I can’t find any evidence of this online. There was a blooper reel at the end of Toy Story 2 that was just hilarious and there was a trailer for Toy Story 3 which will be coming out this summer, also in 3-D. It looks great; I can’t wait for its release.
So far I’ve only seen Pixar 3-D movies and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Has anyone seen a live action film in 3-D for comparison? I am so glad the effects have been done gracefully and not gimmicky. It really feels like an evolution of films, as big as going from black and white to color pictures.
]]>For instance his scathing review of the new G.I. Joe movie contains these delights:
“G. I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” is a 118-minute animated film with sequences involving the faces and other body parts of human beings. It is sure to be enjoyed by those whose movie appreciation is defined by the ability to discern that moving pictures and sound are being employed to depict violence.
and
What is Cobra? What nationality are its leaders, other than Scottish? What will it gain by destroying world capitols? Reader, I do not know. Even the U.S. President (Jonathan Pryce) asks incredulously, “Don’t they have any demands?” His role is otherwise limited to being briefed about the Joes.
It is truly a pleasure to read Ebert rant and rave about films.

Not a single one was moving. It was nap time.

Clearly Michelangelo.
