Rebooting DC's Villains! →
dresdencodak:
What are heroes without villains? To follow up with my Rebooting the Justice League post, where I treated those characters to a more extreme reboot than DC’s “New 52,” I thought it would be fun to take a look at a redesigned villain team to oppose my redesigned Justice League:

Rebooting the Justice League! →
dresdencodak:
So, following the immense popularity of my 5 Essential Character Redesigns post, I decided to take a more thorough stab at revamping DC Comic’s Justice League. I’ve already mentioned before that I think their current “New 52” reboot, aimed at gaining new readers, is terribly ineffective,…

Because license violations seem to be part of the Juche idea, there’s no known source code online, so proper analysis of what goes into it is difficult.

NERDS OF AMERICA:
We were once a country that made things: giantmetal cars, Hoover Dams, non-AutoTuned popular music.
But now we are stuck in an economy in limbo, surrounded by our Internets, our hipsters and our arguing politicians.
Nerds, I have a great idea to make America great…
They just got shut down by Lucasfilm, unfortunately :/

My most poignant story of the year is of a student in my CS106B class (the reasonably traditional CS2 course that follows after CS106A) who came to my office hours last quarter pretty much in tears. The problem for her was not that she was having any trouble with the material. Indeed, she was one of a handful of students who got a perfect score on the midterm and an even smaller group that ended...

Who should I thank? My so-called “colleagues,” who laugh at me behind my back, all the while becoming famous on my work? My worthless graduate students, whose computer skills appear to be limited to downloading bitmaps off of netnews? My parents, who are still waiting for me to quit “fooling around with computers,” go to med school, and become a radiologist? My department...

Brilliant:
1) Take a file or a link of value.
This can be anything. From a link to an exclusive build of an app, to a secret blog post, to an icon you spent hours designing.
2) Share it.
Just like any old link. Choose your own price. You don’t have to create a store. And you don’t have to do any management.
3) Make money.
And that’s it. At the end of each month...

I don’t take this personally. In part that’s because I subscribe to the Hyman Roth rule of punditry (“this is the business we’ve chosen.”) In part it’s because Yglesias has written before about his belief in the need for more highly charged moralistic language in politics, so I understand that his accusing me of harboring genocidal racist tendencies is just...
