Grow the hell up.
I thought the Bellman did a great job of explaining the difference between theft and copyright infringement in that thread -- and he did it in a calm, noncondescending way.

29: Happy Happy Joy Joy
I listen to the podcasts when I'm out for my postprandial constitutional. The volume levels go UP OH MY GOD PLEASE STOP SHOUTING IN MY EAR and then so low I can barely hear it. Since I'm listening on earphones, it's a bit annoying.
Is there anything that can be done, either at your end or mine, to make the levels more even? I'm using iTunes and an iPod.

SteveInMaine: "I'm getting sick and tired of having my name (which coincidentally is the name of my long departed grandfather who sailed across the Atlantic from Lithuania)..."
"Steve" is a Lithuanian name? Steve Stankevičius? Steve Vasiliauskas? Steve Krancewicz? Steve Stankus?
(My long-departed grandfather also sailed across the Atlantic from Lithuania. But he wasn't named Steve.)... [more]

It's "great" !
Turtles -- you might want to lurk in alt.usage.english for a while and see if you like it. I've been an AUEr for a decade. It might scratch your itch.

iPoutine and iTakeout
I'll be there. I love sausage. And beer.
Will anyone have an official Metafilter sign? Or do I get to wander around asking strangers if they're from Metafilter and getting weird looks in return, as I did at the Victoria meetup?

Ah -- very clever, Artw.
I'm going to get there around 5:00, because of the stoopid Sunday bus schedule, so if anyone else is in the neighborhood early, well, there I'll be. (I'll also be leaving pretty early because of same stoopid Sunday bus schedule.) I look like a female Mefite.

We had fun. Not just fun: we rocked. (Bonus extra footage from the Shoreline meetup, because the thumbnails were so frikkin' small that I didn't notice it.)

We've got a network - let's use it!
Despite it being mentioned in a podcast, I didn't get a single e-mail in response to my job post for a babysitter. This is actually preferable than the stack of creepy responses I got from craigslist.
(We still need a sitter, if anyone's interested...)

Can we post jobs that we're not actually in charge of?
That seems weird to me. If the motivation is just "hey, there's a job available for some sort of person somewhere," the list could get mighty long mighty fast.

AskMefi: Seoul
Here is a movie of a sock monkey approving Marie Mon Dieu approving Cortex's picture of Kansas City Royals catcher Brent Mayne ('90-'95) throwin' up the fuckin' horns at soundofsuburbia's approval of ColdChef's approval of Jofus's approval (with Marie's Slinky pinwheel looking on in silent approval as well).

Thanks for the Catalogs...
Which is better, environmentally speaking: looking at a company's website using a computer and electricity, or looking at a catalog printed on paper?
Honest question, not snark. I suspect the website is better, especially since I already own the computer, but maybe I'm wrong. There are probably too many variables to answer this.

Honestly, if you've ever owned a car, if you live in more than 500 sq.ft per person residence, or if you average more than 5,000 miles of air travel per year, you are a fucking hypocrite for asking this question.
Oh, shush. I didn't say I was going to take one step that would save the world and wondering which of the two options it should be. I was idly curious about how the two ways of shopping compared, that's all.

There's an ice rink not too far from me. Maybe we could have a Meetup there sometime? Then we could find out if we stink on ice.

What script isn't running? What's Firefox trying to warn me about? Or has this been answered, too, in the delay between me reading and me posting?

BIRTHDAY PONY?
I'm going to say my birthday is April 10, and revel in all the good wishes. Then I'm going to change it to May 3. Then May 20. Then June 1...
I really like birthday greetings.

Best Answer AWOL?
Grither: "Seriously though, is there a best way to delete my own (stupid) comments?"
I was pissed off recently and wrote an angry comment. I quickly realized I was being stupid, e-mailed the moderators (using the contact link at the bottom of the page), and they deleted it. It probably would've been deleted anyway, come to think of it... but I feel much better for having snitched on myself (Catholic school will do that to you).... [more]
