I feel like a fool waiting for people to realise that the everyone has flaws. yes, even fictional characters..
If you´re all that judgemental IRL as y´are about Marten I guess it would really suck to be friends with you :roll:

If all of my friends acted in real life like QC characters act in the comics, I'd basically be in Hipster Hell (or a movie by whoever wrote Juno, because nobody talks like that in real life).
EDIT: But in the context of QC itself, speech mannerisms aside, if I was friends with someone like Marten for too long I'd basically start treating them the way Steve has been treating them because over the years I'd lose all respect for them (like I think Steve probably has).
It's not about expecting fictional characters to be perfect, either, though I'm not quite sure how to explain this point.

Yeah, I meant no offense, and took none. I was just pointing it out. Like I said, it's kind of a gift, 'cause it's like "Wait, what did I say?" A great confidence breaker in a debate I would imagine. I think it's just that you don't acknowledge the opposing interpretation, like if you had linked it first I would have posted something like "I see that comic a completely different way, [my interpretation]" or "[quoted comic] could also be used to argue the opposite, [my interpretation]," whereas you just take it and run with it as if I was in full agreement with your point of view from the start.
You have a very particular way with words is I guess all I'm saying. I'll admit I didn't like you so much when I first started lurking, but the more I read your posts, the more I understand your style of writing, and the easier it is to see the points you're trying to make over the way that you're making them.
Anyway, that was all beside the point. Just something I've noticed.
Also beside the point: Any time I link to that first meeting with Hannelore, I miss that character. Don't get me wrong, the Hanners that's in the comic is great, but the two are hardly the same person. They look and behave so differently, and I think I liked the slightly more "grown up" girl with OCD issues would have made a much better cast member. It isn't my comic though (and you should all be thankful for this fact)
More to the point: I might be in agreement with Sir Dudley at this point, and bow out for the night. I'm sure I'll be back, and unable to refrain from throwing two cents more into the pot, and stirring vigorously, but until then, (with swooping Senor Chang hand movements) Hasta Luego!

I think it depends on everyone's background on the internet before they started posting here. On the forums I posted on back when I was getting started on the internet, being that explicit about every detail was going to get you mocked and/or banned for being a smartass (because it was expected that everyone who reads a thread keep track of what everyone is posting and not have to be reminded of the point someone made in another post if only a section of it is quoted for the purposes of making a different point, and I figured since it was even easier to do that here since quoted posts include a link that takes you to the original post at the top of the quote, that wasn't necessary).

I feel the same way, but the last time I brought that up it was almost as bad as the derail on the last page for some reason (something about that "version" of Hanners being drugged out all the time, or something, so it was a negative version because of that).

It's Ableton Live - a widely used music program.

Ah, local dj's I've seen either use Zulu or Pioneer's mixing software (when they aren't going really cheap and using their media player's Shuffle function, which is hilarious sometimes).

I once knew someone who fancied himself a bit of a DJ. He just kind of brought four or five crates of CD's with him and as near as I could tell manually loaded up the songs throughout the event. He thought it was awesome when he got that first Ipod because he didn't have to carry so much stuff and he'd just hook it up to the sound system and throw it on shuffle. He doesn't really DJ anymore. There comes a point when "I'm the guy with the Ipod" no longer makes you special.
Anyway yeah, great to get that cleared up. I was wondering about the book and it hadn't occurred to me that there would be DJ specific software.
