IF...this releases while CR still owns the company (ie, he doesn't sell the IP to Microsoft or EA like he did Freelancer), it will be an epic disappointment on a scale that will make No Man's Sky look like it was game of the year.

Hello
Did you see my privet massage about my IP ?
Hope that problem salve soon.

You can just Google 'what is my ip' then just copy/paste.

Yes, it's safe to share. It can not be used against you, but if you're concerned just enable the "private" checkbox when you reply on my profile and no one else will be able to see it.

Ok I already text him and let see what will happen.
Thanks for assistant.
So how was that video I shared? I know a lot of channel on YouTube and sure I f my house IP work I can share some cool videos here.

Yes I think it's IP, I remember about 2 month ago I tried to open membership but the site always send error maybe that time my IP go to blacklist.

So how can I tell you my id? I mean where can I see it? btw is it safe if I share it here with you?

Your IP address at home must have gotten blacklisted possibly because of other ostensibly nefarious activity. If you tell me your IP at home I can investigate.

(Thanks for hollering @chicchorea and @eric3579.)

I've seen it. It was indeed funny AND entertaining. I enjoyed it about as much as I enjoyed Ghostbusters 2, which was a much lazier rehash of the same premise of the first movie to cash in on the name.

Yet...somehow, people don't remember the second movie that way. But they, having not seen it in a lot of cases, view this movie as an A-Bomb for the movie industry. The most scorn worthy example of remakes ever! Most disliked trailer in youtube history! Yet....somehow, the same fate didn't befall TMNT, Transformers, Robocop, et all.

But we also forget, some of our most beloved genre movies and well liked films were remakes of older movies before our time. The Thing, The Fly, The Departed, True Grit, 12 Monkeys, etc. It's not that it's evil ole hollywood "not having original ideas and scripts", because we have unoriginal ideas and scripts in the hallows of nerd fandom.

Really seems like there is one sort of X-Factor about this particular remake of a previous nerd-centric IP that set it apart from all the others people ignored or fell in love in with....

I totally agree with this; it seems beyond insane that a blood relative wouldn't immediately recuse himself / be automatically recused, regardless of the case or its merits. Since I'm only an IP lawyer and never actually get involved with courts I don't know if this conflict of interest is criminal, or if it's just gross professional misconduct.

The Galaxy Tab S2 (and the iPad) has a 2048x1536 (not 1080p) screen, but it's not the resolution they're bragging about. Samsung uses OLED screens, which offer far better picture quality than IPS LED. The contrast, color reproduction, and viewing angles are way better than any IPS LED screen.

Display Mate rated the S7 screen rated as the best they'd ever tested. ([url redacted] I really want to get an OLED TV someday, but they're so expensive... Someday...

Edit: It won't let me post urls, so you'll have to google the display mate review I guess...

@Zawash -- all true. And yet, just because Calvin and Hobbes and Bill Watterson are/were awesome, it doesn't make IP and copyright rules any more sensible.

My opinion: those respectful and well-done parodies and homages (say, Pants are Overrated's Hobbes and Bacon) are fair use. The person/people that drew Calvin peeing on things? Fair use also. There is a big difference between "tasteless" and "should be illegal".

Selling car decals with those images is different, because then you're treading all over the "not for profit" element of fair use. However, tracking down tons of small-scale infringers on that, or even worse, average people who simply buy the decals/shirts/whatever and likely don't know or care to know about IP and copyright laws is ... a losing battle at best, and punitive towards *fans* of the IP at worst.

There are many many examples of going to idiotic (IMO) lengths to protect IP. Disney suing local bakeries for drawing some character in icing on top of a kids birthday cake. Metallica suing Napster, University internet hosts, and even individual downloaders of their music. Teachers being sued for playing a clip of a TV show, movie, or song as part of their lessons. Etc. etc.

At some level, copyright is a good thing. Or at least a necessary evil. But the litigious zeal with which IP and copyright are "protected" these days seems like we've lost sight of the "art before commerce" element that is a huge part of why Calvin and Hobbes was so awesome. And why IP is something worth protecting (within sensible limits).

ALL depictions of Calvin & Hobbes, barring the comic itself and the comic binders from Norway, are knockoffs and stolen IP. All stickers, t-shirts, posters, sweaters, shorts, lunchboxes and whatever is non-licenced stolen IP.
There's the comic itself, plus the sole footnote of the Norwegian comic binders.
As for the peeing sticker: https://triviahappy.com/articles/the-tasteless-history-of-the-peeing-calvin-decal
The interesting part is of course that even the nice looking, respectful stuff are unlicensed knockoffs.

What about all the window stickers with Calvin pissing on (X)? Were ALL of those knockoffs and stolen IP? If so...wow. They mentioned that they're awful, but are they also rip-offs?

Oblivious to the issue? Or just "there is no issue"?

The exclusion of an Asian actor from auditioning for Death Note strikes me as wrong, but if the director is going for a certain aesthetic, it's hardly racial discrimination.

But irt GITS, Johanssen fits the aesthetic. Most of those asked noted that she resembled anime characters ergo it's fine. Seems to me that the furor is a bunch of white people deciding that because something was made in Japan, that it must be interpreted as "Japanese actors only", when even the Japanese see anime as apart from their own racial distinctiveness...

If the culture that produced the original IP doesn't have a problem with non-Japanese actors playing the role, isn't it a tad presumptuous for white people to get offended about it? \= )

Bit of a storm in a teacup really.

i'm not sure that's a great example since that IP was basically conceived of and developed by thurman and tarantino specifically for thurman.
