That sounds amazing, but damned if I'm going to watch someone else play megaman for 48 minutes. Maybe I'm just jealous.

Why am I banned from scribble? Does making a negative comment here get one banned?

I just downloaded & watched most of the video. Although I didn't watch the whole thing, I believe that I have now witnessed the apex of human achievement.

Oops, I thought you did! ;-) So I hope you'll get it very soon!

Question: Can I get help anywhere when I'm stuck on a certain level without having found any solution by myself yet? Or might it be that I'm just too stupid and some levels are made only for extraordinary clever people...?

I've tried to edit a level - OSX 10.3., iMac G5 - it seems rather complicated to find out where exactly certain positions on the hidden (2nd, background) layer are - is this normal, or a Mac specific problem? Is it possible to define a position, for example coordinates x,y? I realize that some problems might be due to my swiss keyboard, so "?" does not work, but ctrl-+ . ctrl-u does undo, ctrl-s would not safe any progress.

I didn't get my PhD yet. ;)

If a isn't 1, divide the whole polynomial by a. (If it's 0, use the cubic formula!)

Damn it! the formula wont show when I go to the site. Refresh doesn't work. I blame it on the trinity system.

Zounds! looks like I must search even more for a ridiculously long formula which can't solve ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e. What if a<>1 ?

Maybe the interjection "BOX!" is like this generation's "NOT!"

Yeah there was also that time Seth Goldstein lunged at him with a modal-box-cutter. Nice dodge!

How deftly you deflected the skeptics' doubting jests!

In world war II, the axis powers hated it when their enemies taunted them and called them "axies".

Ah, the memories! I remember going around for maps of Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory with the "Adolf Gandhi" nickname. My goal was to convince both the axies and the allies to construct all the constructable buildings in a certain "ruined city" map, to further peacefully inhabit it. Just in case, I equipped a flamethrower.

I work for a large font company, and I just stumbled across your story while searching for other font info. I must say that I am greatly troubled by the belligerent tone that Agfa Monotype (through lawyers) took with you. The decision to target you was a case of straight-up bullying, stemming from a dangerous mix of arrogance and ignorance. It is reassuring to see that your refusal to back down, along with your clear thinking and articulate arguments, seemed to have made them back off. I was never aware of this situation as it was happening, but you have my gratitude and admiration for standing up to such unfounded charges and threats. Ironically, in defending the position of independent developers, you have helped protect the very community that larger font companies depend on for creative content and technical innovation. While companies do have a legitimate interest in aggressively defending their intellectual property, hopefully this case will serve as a cautionary tale that they need to use more discretion when throwing their weight around, and that misguided bullying will have repercussions in the form of negative publicity and even boycotts of products. Thank you for your brave and principled work that has benefited us all.

Good idea, Max. I will try this one out soon.

Hey now you can have a really sexy pickup line that goes, "I have time in my pants. Can I have some in yours?"
