it's worth mentioning that esr held a bunch of shares of VA Linux at ipo and if he wasn't a stupid moron full of stupider idealism he would have been rich but instead rode that poo poo to worthlessness

hmm, I think most of the backers for the ks will want an actual object for the coffee table rather than buying just to see the contents - if anything it may help the project.

copyright is strictly a power granted to the us congress under the constitution.

us federal statutes prohibit the copyright of any us government work putting it into the public domain

however, the use of logos and such is something the executive branch controls and is published under the cfr as its an administrative right of the office.

it has no bearing on copyright.

afaik they did manage to actually satisfy the usage restrictions in this case and then nasa undercut them anyway

there are like 3 threads appropriate for the discussion of chris roberts but anyhow yesterday i was clicking around on netflix and came across the wing commander movie and realized that the wing commander movie was actually directed by chris roberts


like, lmao

This is from a while ago but I remember being told at E3 like 15 years ago or something that Roberts had always wanted to make a movie which is why the wing commander games got progressively more and more cinematic. Then MS had given him a bunch of money to make the next Wing Commander game so it could be all Wing Commander(tm) by Microsoft(tm) and poo poo.

But apparently there was some 'confusion' about what the money was for and he spent it making the Wing Commander movie :haw:
