Since they are taking the stance of "Trademark infringement" against Lambert and Bridgestone, this isn't about a breach of a "don't endorse competition" clause in a contract somewhere. As far as trademark infringement goes, they don't have a case. The character of Kevin Butler does not appear...

Nope. The characters have the same face. That's about it, really. This probably won't end well for Sony. Nothing catastrophic, they'll either just drop it, or push it and not win. If they do win, however, apparently Sony can own your face.

Okay, so... where's the actual... you know, office? I see a lounge, some break areas, a restroom... There's a conference room or two, and maybe a glimpse of a workstation in the edge of the last photo, but I don't see where someone would actually "work". EDIT: Followed the link... looks...

My take on time-travel has always been a stance of permanence. One universe, one timeline. Kind-of like Like Slaughterhouse 5, Deja Vu, Premonition, or (I'm told...) the Time-Traveler's Wife. You can't change the timeline, because your travels are already part of it. Think Harry Potter...

Yeah, we're known for a lot of things, but the question was embarrassing stereotypes (as in, potentially not generally true); not actual industries, weather, politics, or geography. The way you define "Indy" sounds like a way for a group of hipsters to try to differentiate themselves from the...

I don't know about 100% necessary, but it can be useful. It is less about identifying opinion, most statements on the internet are, and more about identifying the intended tone of the writer. There are a lot of, as you put it, insecure people out there who do actually state their opinion...

My wife. Though, I'm the fuzzier and squishier of the two of us. We used to sleep with her blanky from childhood; a full-size blanket created by her grandmother and maintained by her mother for a while. It got pretty worn out, so my mom cut it up and re-stitched it into a baby blanket for our...

Sure, but it was my comment on that thread that "made (The Pumpkin Witch) wonder". I mean, if you want to claim the thread that prompted my comment, then TopazFusion might as well claim the thread that prompted your... oh, there he went. And from there, The Examiner could claim prompting his...

Wow, my comment started a thread, I'm flattered. Welcome to the Escapist, by the way. OT: I'm from Washington State. I don't know if we're too stereotyped, when I'm abroad and say I'm from Washington people tend to assume the District of Columbia, and some don't seem to know that...

I understand it is actually her publisher. Okay, so why does she have a publisher? Should have just file-shared it directly. I mean, having a publisher to distribute and sell copies is only "creating false scarcity". Funny how someone can adjust their values based on what benefits them the...

You think Texas to the rest of the U.S. is bad? Try U.S. to the rest of the world. It's simple; bad news spreads fast. People want to hear the bad, and they filter out the good, if the good even makes it far enough to be heard. People need something to compare themselves too even if it is...

No I wouldn't, because I didn't have the right to build the shed in the first place. If I wanted to profit from building a shed, I would build it legitimately. People paying to see it doesn't change the fact that she had no legitimate claim to it in the first place. She clearly didn't...

So... actually this. My Spanish isn't as sharp as it once was, but that's what I read. Even so, however, she has no claim to any of it, in my opinion. It was vandalism. She wasn't sanctioned to "restore" it, so she has no right to it. If art gains value when the artist dies, do I get the...

Yeah... I'm not too sure I'm comfortable with a developer like Obsidian using it, either. Definitely not a publisher, though, kind-of defeats the purpose.

Better version here, scroll to zoom. http://xkcd-map.rent-a-geek.de/ Explored from end to end, and most of the caves on the site. Took for freaking ever. Figured there was stuff in the sky, but I wasn't about to explore that much. Okay, so it took most of my morning break and I really needed...
