I remember Magni! The Canadian punk that 'won' that show was an embarrassing hack. Now it's time to find my old Sugarcubes collection...
I hope your wife's condition continues to improve. Pretty scary sounding!
Behind the curtain (and daring to suppose I know anything about Star Wars that isn't common knowledge here...)
After that you are granted license to hunt Golden Eagles with extreme prejudice, and enter a cycle of interspecies revenge feuds.
Some threads that die deserve life.
Can you give it to them?
Geminids 2012!
What's with the glass prisons lately?
That's transparent aluminum.
As long as you don't kill your quality completely, you should be fine. The final product isn't going to be bigger than the YouTube player.
Let me know, I compressed it too much but it's still watchable. If your output format is less than 720p, nobody will notice. You cold also shoot me in and out points and I could only provide what you really want at higher quality.

Links may not work for a while, I'll update this post when I'm sure...then again I may have already forgotten, the links are fine and as you sit reading this in the future this whole sentence is wasting time for all of us.

7:!5 pm central...1 hour remains.
8:40 pm c...21 min...don't ask me I didn't build the damned thing.
adding two more, looks like all the highlights of what we shot:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29628015/Drivi … 0train.wmv
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/29628015/Drew% … yD%27s.wmv
about 3 hours from 9pm central, Saturday, for these.
The "drew" footage was uploaded at phone cam resolution for easy logging, but shot in HD. I think I still have it all. There was lots of driving around the city with iJim stuff, too, if you want any of that. I might be able to Dropbox it a bit at a time, or ftp to the location of your choice.
---edit---
~15 gigs total footage, about 5 of which are my takes, only about 2 of which are any good.
I also have iJim's exit from the car in HD 60i at a bout 1 gig, but I could trim the 6 minute file down quite a bit.
I could also downconvert and/or process it into reasonably-sized clips.
Placing my marker with RedX and, to a lesser degree, TheGreg. There are alternatives to the capitalist model of media production. I don't think anyone means to suggest that you professionals don't deserve to make a living while enlightening and entertaining the rest of us.

Simply exercising my right to bear...cats.Considering the gent you're replying to is from Chicago, your gun control is probably considerably looser up north.
Yarr!!

3 points to the Zarban for the double-reverse Godwin.
437 milllion points to split between Lamer and the Doc, per whatever arrangement they can work out.
I struggle with writing short, declarative sentences, they always grow into crazy run-on affairs with too many additional clauses and such.
That fearsome beast is your pet?
Around here you need a license for that sort of thing.
Never considered myself a fan of his. However, as his body of work grows, and I hang around these circles, it does seem that as far as established male writers go, Joss has got the biggest place in his heart for a well-developed strong female character or two. Who is doing better for feminism?
Great discussion focusing questions Teague, as usual.
I don't think one can go through a portfolio of images and brand them as sexist or not per se. The artist who created them may harbor sexist attitudes, and probably does. "Boys are better than girls," is a well known fact by roughly 50% of any schoolyard, and vice versa. Where there is a difference between people, there are bound to be chauvinists on both sides.
For a direct answer to the question: no image is sexist. It could raise awareness of sexism, or demonstrate, lampoon or otherwise illuminate sexism. Images could be and probably have been used to further the cause of sexism (some sort of deliberate propaganda campaign to repress women), but I don't see that as a wrong inherent to the images themselves.
I did not intend to limit the expression of sexism to only clothing, but clothing has been one of the many ways liberated women have expressed themselves. Rising hemlines, bikinis, these things happened as part of women's battle against sexism.
And I completely agree with your line of argument, for the record.
I'd QFT, but your words carry their own weight quite well.

No. It is presented to cater to the men's sexuality. It is in service to, and thereby inferior to, men's.
That is definitely in the eye of the beholder. One could just as easily argue that her sexuality gives her the upper hand in her dealings with men, aids her in achieving her objectives.
Repressing and devaluing can take several forms.
Agreed, but historically and even within living memory, it has involved socially coercing women to hide their sexuality and thereby prevent the nasty consequences of visible lady skin on society.
The woman's sexuality is superior to the men's, is it not?
I'm not arguing that the Scarlett Jo presenting pose is role-model material for young women, but 'sexism' is what happens when a patriarchal society represses, devalues and hides women. Afghanistan has sexism, Saudi Arabia has sexism, America has a hot-chick fetish. It's not even the same league.
I have a problem with how the word "sexism" is being applied in this thread.
sexism definition
The belief that one sex (usually the male) is naturally superior to the other and should dominate most important areas of political, economic, and social life. Sexist discrimination in the United States in the past has denied opportunities to women in many spheres of activity. Many allege that it still does.
A comic or poster highlighting the value of a womans sexuality seems to be the opposite of sexism. 'Exploitation,' sure, 'Prostitution,' maybe, but 'Sexism,' I don't agree.
Me niether; Zarban, your niece may be a hipster.
Warm gratitudinous sentiments all around!!
I lurk here more than I contribute, but I try to stay up on the conversations, often checking in several times a day. I'm only a part-time bronie, for the record.
How deep does this wiki code rabbit hole go?
Totally open to thoughts about how to implement the timecode/quote data from the Halp project.
Can the quotes be linked to a player that plays them back like a frickin DVD menu?
