[quote who="landisaurus" reply="1" id="2293234"]I'm pretty sure mods are covered under the "fair-use" provided nobody directly profits from it. So the people who made the game that was modded can't directly endorse the creation of the mod, making it seem like they want to gain sales as a direct result of the mod. [/quote] It's more like in the "We won't bother coming at your for making a tribute to our characters" but fir use really just covers the ability to ta

[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="7" id="2293205"]No, it was a complete accident while screwing around with magnetrons Ah, so you're right, but you're still wrong where it matters. This Percy Spencer fellow was testing a magnetron developed to be used on radars; testing it to verify that it functioned as expected. He was in no way trying to figure out what other esoteric uses microwaves have - he was building and testing magnetrons for a very specific purpose, and happened to notice

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="21" id="2290137"]Yeah, and I forget: did the copyright run out on LOTR? Does it matter for stuff like mods? [/quote] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolkien_Estate Also, if you are making a game based on the movie, that's owned by New Line *EA's license just now expired*

Stardock doesn't have a cent of your money, unless you're trying to argue something else. Stardock didn't put a hold on your money, your bank did. HINT: join a credit Union, they're much nicer about these things...

[quote who="Leo in WI" reply="24" id="2292429"] I kind of agree, but the microwave oven was more of an accidental product than a tech. They were researching microwaves and found out what else they do, not researching microwaves and then discovered integrated circuits.

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="1" id="2291687"]Need to find out what the ESRB says about shirtless males...I have a feeling they have strict 'nipple guidelines' we have to adhere to. Reminds me of the "Ganon goo" incident with Zelda: Twilight that my friend told me about....... I suppose an odd rating system is better than nothing @ all.......

[quote who="BoogieBac" reply="9" id="2291710"]Please educate me on this subject. Gladly And I'll keep this breif becuase I know we'll be talking style A LOT in the upcoming months. We looked for a style that wasn't done before. Everyone seems to be pushing the WoW look nowadays, and while I LOVE that bold, characterized style, we knew that style has been WELL covered. Instead we took inspiration from the realistic shapes, soft washes and graphical penwo

Banned for peeking at my chest hairs!

This Argument is silly, because I clearly won the contest!

I found a question to ask that hasn't been asked! I would like to know about The legal status of mods developed by us, evaluated and distributed by you guys. Do they then become property of stardock? A simple clarification of the terms for the modding community would be darn helpful.

[quote who="mojoman2" reply="25" id="2288915"]Quoting landisaurus, reply 24in 1 to 30 days you won't... because the funds were never actually removed from your account. You'll see it as a "pending" transaction, and while most banks lower the balance to reflect any "pending" deductions, it will not/cannot over draft as a result because the money is never removed. It stays pending for however long the bank leaves those in pending state (no longer than 30 days) then it

[quote who="landisaurus" reply="6" id="2288570"]ever saw the machine Mr. Garrison from south park invented to replace airplanes? yeah... yeah, that crowd would do just fine I'm sure. But seriously, metal butt-plate (and not sitting on the sharpest parts) would fix the pointy bits I hope. Reduced 89%Original 640 x 480 see, totally works. [/quote] That's awesome.

[quote who="Hadberz" reply="21" id="2288477"]If you used your bank card/credit card that is a authorization hold. This has nothing to do with Stardock. The money is returned after 1 to 30 days depending on the banks policy, unless of course the merchant clears the charge i.e. Stardock release the game tomorrow and charges for it. [/quote] Or perhaps he just went out and bought some damned beers. I Can't imagine that he didn't spend any of his other money in the last 2 days.

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="24" id="2288497"]You don't need to be a rocket surgeon to know that if it's got cactuses in it, it's a desert. Wow, that line is either comedic genius, or the result of sleep deprevation, and I can't tell which. Just in case, it's rocket scientist, and cactus grow all over the place, we've got prickly pears in our frigging yard, even in this drought we still measure yearly rain in the inches. If I recall correctly, the "rocket sur

[quote who="psychoravin" reply="12" id="2288222"]I think what they wanted and most of you fell for it was just some upfront money so they could take a nice long summer vacation on your dough. lol I never liked paying someone for work not done because of this. You get all kinds of promises and perks promised and blah blah and in the end you end up waiting on them to do something they promised months ago. What a nice excuse using Demigod as a reason for the setback and you all still waiting to

[quote who="NTJedi" reply="4" id="2287897"]Quoting Wintersong, reply 1I didn't forbid second guessing if you (or me) failed your first try. Nothing but forum rules and common sense prevents you from posting every five minutes saying "getdate(); (gettime();+5)" Well allowing massive repeated guessing effectively takes away the victory from an individual which has guessed once who would have guessed closer to the actual release date. With allowing only on

But she had a litter of kittens and THOSE cats had an entire EXTRA PAW on each limb, and they were functional, too! Last I remember hearing kittens with an extra digit on its paws were more valuable. If what you say is true then those kittens with the extra paws would have brought in some BIG money...

This thread is WAY off-topic now ;) and I'm going to continue it. My girlfriend and I shared a cat in High School (Yes I had a live-in girlfriend in high school, I'm that awesome). And it had too many digits on its paws. They were functional so she just had bigger paws.

UI is the Achilles' heel of a lot of open source stuff -- the last time I tried to use Blender I came away wanting to put a fork in my eye. Why they don't try to emulate the UIs of commercial packages that have spent many years and many dollars polishing their products, I'll never k
