  Douchecordian would be a great name for a punk-polka band.

  Haha! I loved them. They were so fun to poke with logic sticks.

  I would love to see a comment on the Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week thread win Funniest/Most Insightful Comment Of The Week the following week.
  
  It would be so meta.

  Re:

  I wouldn't call gamers an 'aging demographic'. My kiddos all love the old school games. They've recently beaten both Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario 3 and both Zelda: Legends of the Past and Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

  Re:

  Yeah, because it's totally lame to be asked to write something by someone you respect for a really popular blog.
  
  Totally lame.

  Re: Re:

  I wouldn't think she'd be able to claim much in damages, since she was already convicted of murder once. There's not much more you can do to her reputation at this point.

  The point was that, in reality, it ends up being the other way around, with fact-happy blogs and opinionated papers.

  Re: Games

  They're never going to be able to use a EULA eradicate the used game market, just like existing drug laws haven't eradicated that market.

  Re: Printing company

  A lawsuit from whom, exactly? Whomever tiled the floor of a Roman villa in 350 BC? One of the many unknown scribes from Lindisfarne and Kells who scribed that manuscript? The Count of Milan who commissioned the Visconti Hours before Gutenburg was a mote in the eye of God? Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of fair use and the public domain would find the idea of a suit equally laughable. Regardless, this woman had not heard if either. She was baffled by those terms.

  Re: what happened?

  I actually just saw this post, sorry. I was in a huge hurry that day, and on a pretty tight deadline, after which I was out of town for a few days. If I hadn't been in such a hurry, I probably would have sent more detail, lol. (And maybe seen this post.)
  
  Anyway, the woman in question was not the clerk. She was the owner of the print shop, which makes it so much worse, imho.
  
  As for the series of events, she called me back after viewing what I'd sent her and told me that she couldn't print them. During the course of the conversation, I explained that these items were in the public domain and that even if they weren't, these documents would be considered fair use. She'd never heard of either and still refused to print them. At this point, I e-mailed BestNetTech.
  
  After that, I e-mailed the exact same documents to Staples, who printed them without comment but made me sign a short form saying that I was responsible for any infringement before I could pick them up. The same form was posted on their counter and by the DIY copiers, though, so I think that was just their standard practice.

  Re: Re: Re:

  The part where I stated that the printer had never heard of the public domain, which implies all of the rest.
  
  Which was, I guess, too subtle?

  Re:

  The printer did refuse. I had to take my documents to another printer.
  
  Sorry for not being clearer. I was in a huge hurry, and dealing with morons. :P

  Hilariously, we don't even know who many of the original authors were, so they may even be considered orphan works. :D
