I'm in a meeting. I'm a bad boy.

you're not the only one, Andy, we're in class

although technically it hasn't started yet

meeting's over but my puzzle isn't :(

ciao

yay! classQ

Q?

typo

no, the correct response was "your mom's a Q!"

i also would have expected "I'll Q your mom!" or "I Qed your mom last night!"

go look at the rant someone just posted in the babble log, it hurts the brain

Wow neat

ouch. that rant did hurt. i think i like the quiet here

it cut off at the bottom before I could finish it but there were a lot more number than I remember English having

sounds like she's probably in junior high or high school.

rough time of life for anyone

yeah

apparently that's how the kids these days type <g>.

lol. speaking of these days, chickeybaby...

The other day there was this girl asking everyone how old they were.

When she found out that most of the babble crowd was older, she went off into this hilarious rant about how we were all old and nobody understands her.

It was awesome

lol

did she say how old she was?

"I'm going 2 go now cuz u dont understand me"

"I hate u all"

lol

And just went on an on like that

damn straight we don't, learn to type in english.

13 I think

hahahahaha

Yeah, that's what most of the babblers were telling her

go

hehe, zugzug. I like your name.

Daboo?

done

thanks Leigh. Contrary to popular belief it comes from Warcraft not the Cave Man movie. I believe in Orc it means Yes or Ok but I could be wrong.

i know it from warcraft

but only indirectly, as WoW is the only one of the games I've played

wow leigh, thats a huge gap in your education, I'll need to make you play warcraft II

My wife hates it but I've been playing for nearly two years now. It's the most addictive game I've ever played but I love it.

lol

i enjoy it as mindless fun, I get bored after a couple hours usually though. What server are you on?

also, my fiance and I both play, you should get the wife hooked so she won't get mad about it any more <g>

Khadgar. All my toons start with Toe; Toejammer (main), Toekal, Toetruck, etc. With so many alts I couldn't tell who was who so I started using Toe at the beginning of my names. Everyone just calls me Toe.

Yeah, I use a similar naming convention

All my alts are Leika(first 2 letters of class name)

Leikawa = warrior, Leikama = mage, etc

I've often thought about trying to get her in to it but she' says she's too computer illiterate. To push a mouse button and a few keys?

I just name my alts whatever... guess I"m not OCD enough :)

especially with you there in person helping her

well, you also don't have nearly as sever a case of altitis as I do <g>

but we'd probably have to get a new account because I can easily do four to six hours without a problem.

lol

lol

that's one of the reasons we share an account, so neither of us ends up playing TOO much.

nerd

*nerds

:-P

lol

lol.. yeah. I've been called worse.

hehe

I'm a nerd too, but I have to give the WoW'ers some crap.

your like 3 months of peer pressure away from starting a character

no way!

I like my life!

heh, you could come over to my place and play with us

I mean, I won't have any time to play Babble!

wouldn't be that different from how we spend our evenings now

you'd just be playing WoW instead of babble/sudoku

hehehe

there's always Torts

Meh, I rather like being a word nerd.

no reason you can't be multiple kinds of nerd at once. I'm living proof of that.

hmmm page not found

nevermind

Neat!!!

So Marianne Jorgenson is your pseudonym, Leigh?

*Jorgensen

We call her MaJo

lol

i wish i made that

lol

For your tank?

yeah, my tank is always getting cold :-(

Awwwww poor tank

Funny thing is, I think I remember someone in the online knitting community asking people to send in their knitted pink squares for peace.

I thought they'd go to make blankets, not a tank cozy.

yeah, if you read the info under the pic, that's what i said she did

hehe

If I sent one in, I think I'd be kinda pissed.

why?

Because tanks don't need blankets as much as people do....

But giving people blankets isn't art.

Exactly

True

She totally should have knitted it herself

It wouldn't take THAT long!

i think it has more force as a statement as a product of the community

rather than of just one person.

True, and if she wants to say to the volunteers that their knitting is going to be used in an art piece, that's fine.

But I seem to remember is just being "knit for peace" or something.

<nod> yeah, any time you're asking someone to contribute to a statement like that they need to know what they're contributing to.

Yeah, not to mention all the copywrite issues involved as well.

er... or is it copyright?

The latter. What's an example?

Sweet.

Well, if somebody used a stitch pattern on their square, that work is copyrighted.

Giving it away is usually just fine, depending on the type of license the copyright holder grants.

Using it in an art piece, however, may be infringement. Although, I'm not entirely sure on that.

Is what you're saying that the knitter used a destinctive pattern recognizable as theirs?

Technically it is possible Gr8. Kinda like a fashion designer and their clothes.

Well, more likely they copied a copyrighted pattern out of a book or something.

If you look at copyright disclaimers on knitting blogs and such, most grant permission to use the pattern for personal use, or to make and item as a gift.

But an art piece is an entirely different cup of tea.

*make the item

And I'm not entirely sure what the rule is when you borrow elements of copyrighted designs and make them into an original whole, like the tank cozy.

Derivative works are part of fair use. Generally.

Derivative works are part of fair use. Generally.

oops.

Aha, I wasn't aware of that. Good to know.

one of us will have to take an IP class and ask about knitted squares.

Totally

I'm going to specialize in that, so I'll keep you posted. As soon as I become more knowledgeable.

I'd really like to know more about it - mainly to cover my ass with my patterns and such.

Would be interesting to know. Might have to ask my sis. She is a fashion designed and might know some of the ins and outs about that.

As long as you're not making lots of money (or preventing whatever rightful owner from making lots of money), it's not likely to become an issue.

Yeah, that's very true.

I suppose that's why every crappy cover band on earth remains in existance

But how does one define "lots of money"? I highly doubt knitting pattern sales can make a person rich

LOL.

Haha right!

that is a good one trtle.

I've made a whopping $78 this year.

The interesting thing about bands is that they don't have to pay for performing a copyrighted work in a public place; the owner of the public place has to pay. Also, "lots of money" is defined as "the amount of money that makes it worth somebody's effort to sue."

Huh, I didn't know that. I suppose it's the owner of the public place that is getting the greatest benefit from the performance.

Exactly.

so then how does kareoke(sp??) work? I know there are some times I should have been paid for the damage done to my eardrums.

lol

Copyright is property, karaoke is a tort.

hehe... well that's a tort, not an IP claim...

aaahhhh. And here I thought it was some form of legal torture

Argg law nerdiness coming out! Must stop!

assault - offensive contact with sound waves

hehehe

Battery.

False imprisonment?

False imprisonment>

right, well, assault when they step up to the mic, battery when they actually sing

Assault = anticipation that some tone-deaf idiot is going to do "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)"

only if you're not allowed to leave the bar. perhaps b/c you're paralyzed w/ terror at the bad singing.

nice

Just what I was thinking, Leigh.

Go.

Battery = when same tone-deaf idiot later mangles "Total Eclypse of the Heart."

That one takes two idiots.

Not necessarily...

or one really big idiot who tried to do both parts

well, you might be an idiot for not leaving the bar after the first song...

Schitzophrenia as performance art?

art???

I used the term loosely. I smirked when I typed it.

I hope so.

I spent the evening at a Kareoke bar on Friday...

I think someone did try to do "Total Eclypse of the Heart" solo.

Hey, when do you want me to take you out for your birthday?

Katie said something about trivia tonight. You down?

I'll settle for a ride there

Take her to a karaoke bar and sing her "Total Eclipse of the Heart."

Oh please, no! Not again!

I'm sick and tired of all this abuse! Bonnie Tyler doesn't deserve it!!!

It is a great song, when sung by Bonnie Tyler and not some tone deaf drunken prats

*cough* *cough* sorry, lost it for a second there

:)

ooo, trivia. one of the first things I did in portland was go to a strip trivia night downtown.

strip trivia??

Did you win, or did eveybody else ;)

trivia sounds fun... I may have to skip studying for trivia

yup. there was a lot of naked in that place.

:-P

i was in the audience.

Apparently it's happening at about 7-ish. I don't remember where, but I assume it's in NE. There will be no Bonnie Tyler.

sounds good. I'll talk to Katie after class about details.

Sweet

No Bonnie Tyler... will there at least be some Avril

So much for the diet...

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

<shudder>

We must arrive early and disable the jukebox!

lol

Gee, I'm sure gonna miss Sudoku class. We should set a day and time for summer sudoku.

sounds good to me.

especially if it also involves drinking lovely fruity drinks and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Perfect

Although, then we will be tempted to do summer things such as grilling and Ultimate Frisbee. We should really find some crappy office jobs and play there.

lol

grilling, drinking, and sudoku are all compatible.

for some reason I just got really hungry for a grilled portabello mushroom cap burger

Hmmmm... but isn't part of the fun of sudoku class that we are all trapped inside looking for something to do so we don't claw our eyes out from boredom during "widdershins?"

And I got really thirsty for anything on Salvador Molly's happy hour menu.

true.

hehe

Mmmmmm yum!

Rum drinks!!!

And cheesy poofs!

you guys are a bad influence

Ball o' Fire, Strider?

Beer!

mmmm pain

delicious pain

Mostly just pain.

I'm so curious...

its delicious for like 3 seconds... then all other sensation is blotted out by pain

It's quite amazing.

Mmmmm chemical burns....

The next time I eat one of those I'm going to have an entire pitcher of beer ready to diffuse the pain

er... de-fuse

I'm going to coat my mouth with candle wax before having another one.

Ouch

Wouldn't that almost be worse?

Yes, but possibly less ouch.

I see

no cheating!

cheating always

dude, sergio totally told me to do the wrong reading for today.

damn him. Also, haha, Strider just got called on.

Sorry, strider

But it's not my fault you didn't pick up your book this morning!

That Sergio! Such a kidder!

i don't think he's asking about today's reading anyhow.

doesn't seem like it

well, i guess it sorta is. trespass to chattels wasn't covered, though.

Are we actually caught up on the syllabus now?

This month, I've been one reading ahead, so I have know idea what's going on. Or went on.

no, i don't think we are.

have you guys ever heard of AIM?

AOL instand messanger?

yes, they have chatrooms on there.

instant, that is...

And your point is....?

ha

There's no sudoku though

there might be now, they've started putting all kinds of crap on there.

i stopped using it when they started putting in advertisements with sound.

ewww

indeed.

trillian is the way to go.

hehe, i think prof lansing almost just wrote "stoner" on accident

"Accident."

I think plurple may prefer that we not hi-jack this chat for our own purposes.

hehe

Close, I think it's "storner"

eh, what's a chat log for if not chatting?

Do we have a duty not to? Is hijacking a chat room trespassing?

lol

Is it even discorteous?

I definately see his point as I think it's really annoying when people do that in the Babble chat, but this chat log is hardly even used except by us and a few others calling out stats.

i think we're invitees.

I believe we have a licence to be here.

Let's talk about x-wings, then.

I'm sure there is an exhaustive terms of service adhesion contract we all agreed to... maybe we should read that

heh, i still don't really know (or care) what those are.

Go x-wings!

but anyhow. Class is over now, so if anyone has a problem with it, they should be fine <g>.

uh... x-wings are starfighters

The Incom T-65E is definitely the ultimate variant of variable-wing starfighters.

That's what I thought, Strider.

bye all

ouch Gr8-H8 you're taxing my starfighter knowledge here

ouch Gr8-H8 you're taxing my starfighter knowledge here

hi all

hi

well, that was easy...

on to yesterdays

also very easy
