The ban game, v10

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because I was just noting that it couldn't have been me.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because it's very difficult to find an inexpensive version of Photoshop that will work on a Mac.  I'm sad because Elements 3.0 is for PC only...

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because my mom might have a recommendation. Frankly, I'd be surprised if she didn't... but then again, it's not her fault if an inexpensive version of Photoshop doesn't exist. Speaking on a more personal note, I'd like something a little better for manipulating pictures than Appleworks.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because you can get Photoshop Elements for Mac for about 100 USD.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because I did not know that. Is it any good?

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because Elements is just a watered down version of CS.

Not very watered down, mind you, but it does not include some features that you may or may not use.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because I'll have to think about getting that. Maybe for my birthday.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because he should just get it now.

[Cogidubnus]

VSMIT is banned because getting photoshop is not a decision to be rushed! There are many cheaper alternatives, and although it could be argued that photoshop offers certain powers and versatility that cannot be matched, there are some artists that don't require as much as photoshop offers.

[Jairus]

Both Cogi and VSMIT are banned because I am open to suggestions.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because Paint Shop Pro is a good one, but I don't think they make it for Macs.  And PS Elements is really cheap, Cog.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because I will take that into consideration. Meanwhile, I'm off to visit my parents for the weekend.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because I would say GIMP, but its interface makes it kind of a gimp itself.

[Slowtini]

VSMIT is banned because I like gimp, it's easy to use IMO.

Damn good on not using a lot of resources too.

[VSMIT]

Slowtini is banned because if GIMP was easy to use, he would have been able to shop Aaron's hat onto Jyrras better...

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because with what I had available on my computer, I couldn't shop the hat at all.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is not banned because I understand exactly what he's talking about.

He is banned, though, because he wasted so much time.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because it was a wasted ten minutes... but Mythbusters was on so I had something interesting to watch while I failed.

[VSMIT]

Then my ban of Jairus is revoked, because wasting ten minutes for Mythbusters is ok.

Now Jairus is banned for not telling which episode it was.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because it was a new episode. They were busting the biggest parts of the Moon Landing Hoax Myth: in other words, proving that various things that "prove" the hoax were a load of bull, and that there is no Moon Landing Hoax and we really did land on the moon.

I wish they had the resources to do what Jamie wanted to do and actually take a rocket to one of the landing sites on the moon to prove once and for all that we really went there.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because that was interesting.  And I'll bet that NASA would have given in a little bit if Adam and Jamie went to them to ask.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because they actually got NASA's help to test a handful of the myths, like the flag supposedly waving in a breeze or how footprints wouldn't retain their shape on the moon, and they also went to watch a measuring laser get bounced off of one of them mirror rigs one of the groups left behind.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because that's awesome.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because they even went on a civilian zero-gee flight (you know... like those trainers that astronauts practice in?) and got it to ratchet down until gravity was only neutralized at 1/6th Earth norm (the Moon's gravity) in order to test a full-weight Apollo suit replica under lunar gravity to prove that you couldn't have created the lunar footage by simply slowing down a film of their movements.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because I wasn't expecting a full explanation of them decreasing the angle of descent for the Vomit Comet.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because I thought it was cool. Next week: Viral Videos are put to the test!

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because I don't understand what "Viral Videos" are.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because they're kind of those stupid popular videos that everyone tells you to watch or get passed around in emails and stuff like that. They already busted one viral video that supposedly showed someone using dynamite to create a surfable wave.

[VSMIT]

Jairus is banned because I don't know if this is an example or not.

[Jairus]

VSMIT is banned because the "Star Wars Kid" or "Numa Numa" are examples of viral videos. Rickrolling is a meme.
