Just thought I'd mention that I noticed a
couple of questions in askme that all had to do with ferreting out techniques people use to get around spam filters and the like.

This may be the coolest flash game ever.
Although it's graphics are nothing to write home about, the game play (which I will wisely follow kotaku's example in not spoiling for you) is quite simply incredible. It's a unique and quick little work break for you
via kotaku.

Resolve.org
is a site devoted to providing support, both emotional and practical, to people struggling with infertility issues. The immediately apparent benefits to visiting would be their informational documents and errata, but of at least equal value are the bulletin boards where you can talk with other people dealing with infertility, whether it's for the sake of venting, chatting or just to have someplace you can go where you don't have to hear the words "well, adoption isn't so bad..."

mefi weirdness. I can't seem to comment on the blue. The site shows me as logged in, but every time I hit post on a comment (within the past 5 minutes. it's been fine till now) I get sent to a login screen. And if I login, and then try to post again, I go back to the login screen again. Opera 9.10 on OSX. Is this happening to anyone else? Posting on the gray is fine.

I would like to find resources, either in print or online, for learning as much as I can about video color space, specifically where it applies to compositing/keying work.

Looking for an ego boost?
The fine people over at
The Screenplay Agency are the place for you! No logline too stupid, no script too poorly written! Are you tired of agency after agency telling you that they don't want your 20 year old screenplay about how much you love peanut butter just because "It doesn't make any sense, and is written with crayon on a pile of dirty gym socks?" I know I was! Until I found out about The Screenplay Agency, who promptly accepted every criminally copyright infringing idea I threw at them until I just KNEW I was every bit as good I writer as I've always told myself I am. And all they asked of me was approximately $250 in fees paid to coverage agencies no one has ever heard of and which seem to be owned by the same company that owns The Screenplay Agency! Sure, you've heard of publishing scams like
Publish America (part 2) thanks to the diligence of sites like
Making Light and our own
thread on the matter, but The Screenplay Agency is totally different! For one thing, they only
rip you off boost your ego through
screenplays.
Now, some
legitimate screenplay writers high and mighty hollywood types have gone and
pranked this excellent automated delusion reinforcer. But don't let those spoilsports spoil your sport! (God, I am such a great writer. No wonder they loved my screenplay!) Go ahead and
generate your own rave reviews!

Final Cut Pro help: I'm taking over temporarily as assistant editor on a movie while the original assistant editor is off doing something else. I've been asked to make change lists between different versions of the movie using Final Cut Pro.

I would like a new feature. What is this new feature that I would like? Let me tell you about this new feature that I would like. The new feature that I would like is this:
I would like a new feature whereby I can see a list of posts/comments by user [x] cross referenced with a list of posts/comments by user [y]. I would like this new feature for reasons almost purely related to satisfying my own curiosity. I would, however, like this feature nonetheless.

Much as I love all kinds of inflammation... Single Link Opinion post or not, there's something to be said for not making sweeping derogatory generalizations about a type of person when your link is about one person. Following that up with snide remarks and sniping fellow MeFites who question the word choice? Always the way to go.

Overheard in New York:
A site so complex, so subtle and deceptive, that its site address couldn't
possibly tell you all you need to know about the site's content.

Publishers must die,
claims Greg Costikyan, industry insider. But can he win out in the end, or is his princess in another castle?
It seems that Mr. Costikyan is putting his money where his mouth is. I'm pulling the trigger. At this point, I have no funding, other than a little money myself; nothing ready to launch, either. But I do have a partner, the offered support of some other companies, a clear sense of what I need to accomplish in the next few months, and a draft (not a final one) of a business plan and financials.
This is, of course, terrifying. Mr. Costikyan mentioned previously

I think I've been confused about policy.
This thread seems to me like it belongs in askmefi. It seems like that to a number of people, actually, who said as much in the thread. Those comments have been deleted, but the thread hasn't been moved to AskMe. Am I misunderstanding how posts like this fit in, here? [more inside]

Oh... My... God.
I can't tell if this is a hoax, but it would seem genuine enough if it weren't so surreal. I mean... advertising.
On homeless sign boards. I'm going to go hold my head under the bathwater until I stop struggling, now.

Bill Cosby has no sense of humor...
In a move that shocked the internet to the very soles of its shoes, Bill Cosby
sent had his lawyer send a Cease and Desist letter to the creator of
channel101.com's wildly popular
House of Cosbys series, asking... nay,
demanding the cessation of all Cosby related creative material generation. That's it. That's all there is to the story.
Wait! There's more! Channel101.com's Dan Harmon wrote
an open letter to Cosby's legal team informing them of his intention to continue hosting the original 4 episodes, even if no further episodes would be made.
Hell, even the adorable
Andrew Baio loves it. But then again, Andy Baio
also likes peach colored page designs...
Channel101.com also mentioned

Independent coders remake Origin's Privateer.
Once upon a time, Wing Commander and Free Enterprise had a
beautiful baby. Then the dastardly Electronic Arts killed
Origin Systems, the maker of the Wing Commander and Privateer series. The townspeople trembled in fear. From where would come their salvation? Sure, they had
Freelancer, but you couldn't even use a joystick with that game! For a long time, it looked like the decent
HOTAS and Sci Fi loving populace would be doomed to wander stickless through the desert of action oriented Space Simulation games, when Lo! from the far away land of Independent Game Makers came the 1.0 release of the Privateer remake for Linux, Windows and OS X
simultaneously. And the people played it, and it was good.

Does anyone know how to make a bottleneck guitar slide? I tried google and couldn't find anything reliable. Bear in mind that running to the hardware store and buying expensive equipment is out of the question. Obviously there'll be SOME expense, but things like electric belt sanders simply aren't going to happen. Thanks in advance.

Ryan
, the Oscar winner for Best Short Film, is a canadian 3d and 2d animated masterpiece. I wish I could provide more than the material already provided by Andy Baio, but I just felt like you all should see this. It's the true story of
Ryan Landis, a brilliant artist devastated by the real world. It's also the story of his impact on the director. That really doesn't do it justice. Please just click.

The Night Land,
William H Hodgson's surreal fantasy,
inspired largely by H G Wells'
The Time Machine, (do you really need
an amazon link?) but not resembling it all that much, is called by Gardner Dozois (editor of
Asimov's Science Fiction since 1985) "one of the flat out
strangest novels ever written" in the 21st annual
Year's Best Science Fiction anthology. The novel, written at the turn of the century, was also
described by H P Lovecraft in the following way: "Allowing for all its faults, it is yet one of the most potent pieces of macabre imagination ever written."
How many novels have you read that have
an entire web site dedicated to simultaneously exalting it and apologizing for it? Andy Robertson's web site is a companion to
the book he edited collecting stories from modern sci-fi writers attempting to pay homage to the under-appreciated novel.
(note: The above-mentioned anthology contains a story,
also published on Robertson's web site by John C Wright, entitled "Awake In The Night," which is fantastic in its own right, as well.) (Did I mention that Hodgson
"brutally treated" Harry Houdini? Scroll To Middle Of Page.)
