Well, geeze. What could someone do with a tank of 'wavium and http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/18 ... away_plan/]one of these?

hmm that reminds me, now where was that link...
ah. posted in the general thread by Bob a few weeks back, the robot triceratops for kids. http://spectrum.ieee.org/video?id=621 Imagine the results from waving one of those. 8) ___________________________ "I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific." - George Carlin
Oh, btw, the local BJ's Warehouse Store had one of those triceratops out on the shelf a couple nights ago. Pretty damned impressive toy. Even without being 'waved.

Hrm... I'd think that by 2010, at least, some Dane-side organization would have hired out Fen to clean things up. That, or maybe the Fen simply took it up
themselves because, hey, who wants a loose bolt from a satelite to scratch your new paint job? Or taking off your head for that matter. Quote: blackaeronaut wrote:"Planetes" anyone?

*snerts* Walt Disney would have loved Handwavium.
But, I think, he would have hated the fen.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.'' -- James Nicoll
Maybe, maybe not... Walt had the same kind of childlike adoration of the future and its potential that seems to be a component of most Fen mindsets...
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
I'm not saying Walt wouldn't fit in AS a Fen. It's part of his backstory as to why Copyright lasts as long in the US as it does. He got shafted on
what ownership he had on "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" pre-sound. ''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.'' -- James Nicoll
Ah, I see what you mean. Mmm. I'd have to look it up, of course, but I have the impression it's the posthumous management of the WDC who's
responsible for the perversion of copyright durations, not Uncle Walt. -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak.
Agreed. When Disney Land first opened, Walt wanted it to be a place that pretty much anyone with a half-way decent job in America could enjoy. Now... *Sighs*
My Problem is "In My Book" People like Walt Disney, Tex Avery, and the Warner Bros. Are Pre wave Fen that made their "Hobbies" profitable.
Quote: Manytales00 wrote: Why's that a problem? ___________________________ "I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific." - George Carlin
Likewise on the "huh?" reaction. In Fenspace, Noah's making his hobby profitable, and nobody thinks the worse of him for it. (Many folks don't like him for other reasons, but that one's okay...)

My bad I was interpreting the thread direction as looking for reasons that Walt Disney wouldn't be considered Fen.
So, who wrote the Fenspace version of http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=SKP0702]this ebook - Nagato, "Nanoha", or both in collaboration?

robkelk: The hell? USSMC FM 7-22: Space Boarding Operations? Is that what you meant to link us to? (I can't think of the Fenspace version being any
different, really. Hell, the Sammies would probably have directly lifted that one directly as one of their manuals.) |
