[21:20] are there any good techniques for helping someone like that understand the importance of keeping original files? i felt like i was trying to explain the concept of sex to a four-year-old. [21:21] ok, i think i've got an idea... george lucas and the original star wars trilogy. [21:22] this particular person loathes that lucas (and now disney) has gone back to muck with the original star wars movies, adding special effects and different scenes and whatnot. [21:24] that's the perfect analogy... i wish i would have thought of it at the time, though, when this person was upset that they had to wait for a file transfer. [21:45] also the fact that it was selected to be saved for the library of congress' national registry, and that they failed to actually give a genuine copy iirc [21:45] plus that the best version is the despecialized one, made unofficially by cut and pasting bits to best match the entire movie. [21:46] on a side note, we moved to hacking :-) [22:02] hackint* [22:22] :-) correct [23:16] * VGA checks /topic. [23:16] woah, thank you. [23:18] yes, despecialized trilogy is the one, true way.
