Here's how you get your pictures:

Install Dropbox on your phone.
Install Dropbox on the computer.
Have Dropbox upload all of your pictures from your phone.
All of your pictures download on the computer.

As for the music, you have to set iTunes to copy the files to your iTunes folder when you drag the files in, or it just creates links to the external drive, which won't work once the drive is disconnected.

When the Emperor reveals the fully armed and operational battle station, he could say "Fire at Commander Will!", then cut to Will Riker on the bridge of the Enterprise just before the laser fires destroying the ship.

That's what goes through my mind every time somebody says "Fire at will!" in a movie. ;)

This could make good use of the Enterprise D destruction in Generations. Then the saucer section crashes on Endor.

Huh.

So <a href="https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/1JIQb">the fundraiser</a> Ady linked ended on May 17th 2013, while <a href="https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/dWba4">the one that I had found</a> was launched on May 31st 2013.

 That's really strange. Why start another one so soon?

I noticed in the comments that they had passed the $1000 mark, yet its only saying now they reached $800.

Got some clarification RE: "No Attachments":

"From what Kanan says in his remembering, it’s not a part of the Code, but a later addition to the rules"

Basically it sounds like the New Jedi Order will be like the Christian Restoration Movement, going back to the original ideals of the order and not the traditions that built up over the years.

It will be fascinating to see how the characters evolve as Rebels progresses. Especially in light of what is revealed in the book, that the Jedi ban on romantic relationships is not part of the Jedi Code but an addition to their rules for life later.

I'm having trouble understanding what exactly that line means. Is the reviewer trying to say that the "no attachments" rule is something that wasn't originally part of the Jedi Code but became dogma years/centuries/millennia later?

This is possibly the most minor change of all, but since it was an SE change it must be fixed! I noticed that in the GOUT there is a large mark on the floor (and more smaller ones) near Leia's feet, and it's gone in the SE.

I couldn't post the image here, so I posted the link.

 Hmmmm. I can't see any kind of mark.

In this shot there is a mark on the floor near leia's feet, and in the SE it is removed. This image is from Harmy's picture comparison for Empire

According to "A New Dawn", they are throwing out the no attachments rule:

Friend of mine got an advanced copy of the tie-in book " A New Dawn". Here's his review:

Have a new computer. Don't want to sync iPhone because it has a bunch of old photos synced from old compromised computer which was hacked. I'd have SWORN I backed up my pictures on the external hard drive I used to keep most of my iTunes music, but can find it there. Outside of sending these hundreds of pictures via e-mail and then saving them onto the PC hard drive out of order since they'd all dated from when I took them and of like to keep it that way, can I do anything else? Having trouble with the Podcasts too. Why does Apple no longer have a download all option?! I keep trying to put them in from the hard drive, and the computer gets scrambled and can't seem to find the source files for them. I've tried asking about the stuff on Apple's forums, and I can't find any information from them, because apparently no on feels like answering.

I realize this is an incredibly stupid question, but as I still live with my parents, it is technically their computer. As they paid for, I have no right to complain or ask for specific features, but I want to know if the computer is capable of handling HD, and if there was any method of connecting the DVR to it to preserve some recordings I have which are not available on video. How would I tell this?

On another note, the fact that Netflix advertises super HD, I have so far been unable to get my Blu-ray player or my father Smart TV to buffer up to 1080 P, even though they are both advertised as being capable of doing it. Is it possible to get the Wi-Fi to do it without anything that cable connected to the device? It's possible to do without a VPN (which I do not want to pay for). I have heard that most ISPs will not admit it, but they throttle streaming services. When I used Vudu, sometimes it is full 1080p, but it frequently blurs. How can I tell how fast the Wi-Fi is going? When I contacted AT&T via their customer chat, they sent me to a website, and told me that the speed at which my modem was running and my wife I wore it was running more optimal, but I do not remember what that number was, or if they were simply telling me when I should get better. I'm a major digital skeptic (RIP Kodak :(), but if they want me to adopt did you want to see you soon and streaming over physical media, one of the first steps would be figuring out how the hell to solve problems like this one the data loads are so heavy.

I like the idea, as long as the Vorta is played by Jeffery Combs. And the captain is played by him too. And all of the aliens. And the ship.

Yeah, technically The Cage's 50th anniversary isn't until 2036 or 2038.

I'll check that out, but I'm thinking that's a spot/dirt on the frame.

They're not wrong. If the SE wasn't the only version, I wouldn't think it's "vile and substandard and a desecration."

One of the famous people I was in the room with was TV's Frank. He tried to convince the audience that Titanic was an amazing film.

Dragon Con was crazy. Didn't meet anyone famous, but was in the same room as a lot of famous people.

On the other hand, now that I say that, I should not fail to note that Indy seems a lot more selfish in this film, caring more about "fortune and glory" than about people, while in Raiders he clearly has a more noble head on his shoulders, so perhaps there is a sign of some maturity, but other than that, I really have a hard time looking at it as a prequel as well.

Leaving for Dragon Con tomorrow. Planning on being there all day Sunday, and Sunday night is the Parsec Awards for scifi podcasts. My TOS podcast is a finalist for "Best New Speculative Fiction Podcaster/Team", so wish me luck!

Oh man, if you have an iPhone, you need Overcast. I've been using it for about a month now, and the SmartSpeed has saved me 8 hours just buy cutting out the longer pauses. It also has a 110% speed that doesn't affect the pitch, but really just makes people sound like they're a bit more excited and talking faster than they actually were. So I'm much more efficient in my podcast listening.

It's not like a structured military organization or anything.

Kapheen said:

Due to the size, complexity, and duration of this project I'm curious as to how you are running the management side of this edit. Is it organized as per an organizational structure (such as Project Manager, Lead Cinematography, Lead Animator, etc...) with assigned tasks and responsibilities, or is it managed mostly ad hoc on an as-needed basis?

The bit from the badass digest article I find interesting is that apparently the people in charge at Fox don't feel comfortable releasing the OOT while Lucas is still alive.

I'm not sure why this would be the case, though.

What if we start a new petition stating we will boycott VII unless the original trilogy is released?

Well, Red Letter Media did do a commentary on Star Wars (DVD) and he just tore all the changes apart, it was great. In one of the reviews, I've forgotten which, he said that the SE's were "offensive", I think he described it as something along the lines of, "you're trying to watch the movie, and they keep shoving more shit on the screen to distract you," and if I remember right he referred to Lucas as nothing but a child waving his arms around for attention or something. I guess that's all that really needs to be said about the SE's, but if you want to hear him pick apart specific changes then check out that commentary track, it's on their website I think.
