Who's the victim this time?

@Jason Simonds I've sent you a PM

I avoid trailers for that reason.
I like to know nothing about a movie for the full experience.Yes, some of the most enjoyable movie experiences have been when I went to the theater for something, it was sold out, and I just bought a ticket to whatever was starting next without knowing any more than what was on the poster in the lobby.
That was how i saw "A Goofy Movie", which far surpassed my expectations, and the only time I enjoyed a Jackie Chan movie, having never heard of him before.
Fun fact... I later found out "A Goofy Movie" was spun off from a Disney TV series, "Goof Troop" which was produced and sometimes directed by our very own Bob Taylor!
Quoteand they are often made by certain professionals that are good at making trailers.
It turns out there's a whole business around putting songs in trailers that are not in the movie itself...

Beautiful work, Michael! And fun to watch you work.

@Jason Simonds, I presume this change will also happen for the A:M bug tracker site?

I never understood how giving all your passwords to someone else to manage got to be a recommended security practice.
I'll do what we did at Nortel... put all my passwords on a Post-it under my mouse pad.

I think two-factor is excessive for what we do here.
If we had a problem with hackers changing people's profiles or editing their posts, maybe that security would be needed, but we don't have that ... yet.

I think there's a substantial segment of the adult population that doesn't want daring new things either.
That's why McDonald's hamburgers are still eaten, why "cinematic universe" are big and why the best-selling cars all look pretty much the same.

It has been common practice for decades to promote movies made for children and teens with trailers that give away the story points. Sometimes even the title ("Free Willy") pretty much gives it away. Children don't like to try new things... Children like what they already know... was the thinking.
Now some of those children of decades ago are grown up and are promoting their own nominally adult movies and think it's normal to give away the plots. They have probably never in their lives been to a movie that surprised them in any big way.

Can you provide a sample PRJ?
The description is a bit unspecific.

Since the A:M forum doesn't handle financial transactions it probably isn't a prime hacking target, but it is easy to discontinue this weak security practice.
-
This change doesn't end hacking attempts but it does stop providing them with half of what they need for an easy one.

While I don't have a problem with this in theory, wouldn't someone already have to have your password in order to sign in? I'm not sure how switching to the email address makes it any more secure, unless you're going to set up an option for 2FA.
Here is the explanation from the makers of the forum software...

Hey @Jason Simonds,
I just tried logging in with my email address (it's already an option) and it doesn't work.
When that gets sorted out I recommend that some very visible alert to the change be added to the standard sign in screen. I think most people will not notice the mere absence of "Display Name" in this box.

Remember that annoying kid in "Temple of Doom"? He's an Oscar nominated actor now!
Quote
“Everything Everywhere” represents a major career comeback for [Ke Huy] Quan, who rose to fame as a child actor in films like “The Goonies” and “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” but quit acting for decades when he found roles for an Asian actor hard to come by. While watching “Crazy Rich Asians” in 2018, Quan began to mull a return, and two weeks after asking an agent friend to represent him, he was sent “Everything Everywhere” and went out on his first audition in years.Extended NYT article on 2023 Oscar Nominations

...from a Facebook post, a 1944 Pittsburgh Press newspaper clipping about Mel Blanc.
Played the violin? And tuba?
As with all reporting on the entertainment industry, one should regard various details as possibly true.

Great character and great model, @detbear!
You can upload models to the A:M Exchange where user model contributions can be found found.

I suggest the "Clothing and Accoutrements" subsection
If it has any external image maps I suggest putting it all in a standard zip.
Thanks! -
We are still open to people wanting to try C++.
We have potentially three eager-to-start-C++-ers so far.
The basic plan of the course is this...
- There is free Udemy course with videos (10-20 minutes) for each lesson and a small programming project associated with the new thing taught in that video
- You watch the video. Probably re-watch it.
- You code the program
- You bring your finished program to our meeting. If it runs, great! You can show us what you did that was creative or unusual. If it doesn't run. we look at it to figure out what went wrong and get you back on track for the next lesson.

Here is an enlarged side-by-side of Photoshop NR, the original image and the AI NR. Of course they both have multiple settings that will vary the result.
