Any way you can get the two of them in the same room / conference call so you can hear them lie in front of one another? It's hard to blame the "other guy" when the other guy is right there.

Alas, not that easy. Even if it were, it's their word against HR.

Ray Harryhausen[^] who kindled my love of special effects leading to my secret hobby as 3D modeller has just passed away. Damn, but I still love films like Jason and the Argonauts, precisely because of his work.

Great film: still fun even the fx are a bit tired they still work.

The way the skeletons move in Jason makes them creepier than modern film versions.

I am sure the funeral will be very moving.
Slowly.
One tiny bit at a time.
I loved the Harryhausen films, and yes, no matter how many times they remake Jason and the Argonauts, his will always be the definite article.

That is very funny but I would be worried that the coffin will pop open and a skeleton hop out!

“Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed”
“One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated”

It's not the coffin opening that worries me, it's the skeletons popping out of the ground in the graveyard.

Pics?
I remember seeing a TV program about his work on Jason &c and longed to be able to do that myself.
Years later I produced a TV show (PC TV - not widely watched, I admit!) and managed to score a copy of 3D Studio for use in the show.
Show suffered because of all the time I spent playing with 3DS rather than organising and writing the show!
It just occurred to me that I may still have the broadcast tapes in storage - I wonder if I could get them digitised and YouTubed - if only to give you guys a laugh at what I was like 20 years ago

A bit inspired by the CP@Android thread below : From my experience, a lot of sites have actually a better mobile version than the corresponding app -- that they certainly felt compelled to develop at some point of time. Example : Yahoo!, especially their mail; or the Youtube app is a PITA compared to the mobile version.
I understand that sites with functionalities (social networks, banks, ...) develop applications, but to me, reading the online paper can be made from the mobile site and does not necessarily require a dedicated application.

My favorites are the 'mobile only' sites, that render 200 pixels wide on my 24" flat panel  .

My wife does web development, always ends up bringing this up when I talk about learning apps.

Mobile apps are better because the programmer is constrained to limited resources - screen space, bandwidth, processing power, memory. It's like the amazing things people could do with an 8K Apple II or Commodore PET, or a 64K PC or C64. But nooo, if you're developing a desktop-based web app, it's all bloat, bloat, bloat.
A lesson is to be learned here.
 Now where did I put my 6502 assembly language programming book???

I was googling for some data I need for my project, and came across ... this site:

Pure design from 1998 à la Frontpage. Had me smile There must be billions of such sites, sleeping in their clothes from the last century...
