I don’t think TV is part of the deal, so they wouldn’t get The Simpsons.

The Murdochs would hold on to the Fox network itself since Disney owning more than one of the “big four” (they already own ABC) would violate antitrust regulations.

Why doesn’t anti-trust apply to major film studios as well? Is six considered more than enough?

I’ve long wondered if George knows about that shot.

What is it?

The random exploding Star Wars billboard in Laserblast. See above. 😉

I repeat the question. First time I ever saw that

I thought the original book adaption was a dud lol.

He’s not mocking you personally jeez.

People would’ve stopped complaining if he’d released the damn things though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do I need to put it in binary for you?

I hope it was served on tortilla batter. I hate it when they cook the shell.

I should be more precise. R-Markdown. Takes plaintext written in markdown and converts it to PDF through a Latex engine. Can also output to Word, html, etc.

I din’t know WordPerfect was still around. I’ve become partial to markdown, but I realize most people prefer WYSIWYG editing.

I ordered a pizza last night. Came cooked. Called the store to complain. They told me tough luck.

Heating the second half for dinner tonight.

Wonder if Disney would consider a name change so as not to give Fox’s other properties free advertising. Maybe a return to 20th Century Pictures… Would still have instant name recognition, and the classic logo could be retained.

Yeah, 21st C. is doing this to focus on its news, sports and network TV divisions.

Not sure about cable entertainment networks though, e.g. FX and FXX.

What? I’m sure MS Office has its issues, I was just curious. I’m not really a fan of the subscription model they’re using now, and it should probably be a lot cheaper with so many free options available. Yet, none of those are ever as polished and as easy to use as Office.

Unfortunate simultaneous posting. I’m lol’ing Possessed’s joke, not you, Handman.

Microsoft Office needs to crawl in a hole and die.

What’s wrong with it?

It’s a bloated p.o.s. that bogs down my four-core machine. I prefer to work in plain text and .csv when I can, but sometimes coworkers don’t jive with that.

For writing a letter or a short paper, Word is fine. But for anything longer or more complex, there are far better options.

lol

(Edit: I’m lol’ing Possessed, not you Handman)

Let the war begin:

Microsoft Office needs to crawl in a hole and die.

And I think we can presume that they would keep making new movies.

If Lucas wanted to continue running Lucasfilm, he wouldn’t have sold it to Disney. He didn’t need to money.

Where is everybody lately? mfm has seemingly taken a break, makes it too quiet.

I’m posting less because I felt like my posts started becoming confusing and unhelpful.

I’m confused 😕

I read about that. Can’t say I’ve ever knowingly listened to their music, but it’s a huge shame.

I feel so old.

You might as well type ‘me’ in the reply box of this thread and rest your finger on the mouse button. Once the rigor mortis sets in, we’ll be duly notified 😉

LOL!

Stephen Colbert’s star wars bit on the late show was not funny.

This one?:-

I found it somewhat funny - though the point it making was more important than the humour (for me, anyway).

it was funny but it’s late night comedy, that’s pretty much what I expect.
