Possibly on the SS8 homepage. The link is there, too :happy:

That so called "12-year-old" happens to be me <_< I am not a full-fledged environmentalist. I happen to procrastinate on this part of the project, and I only go on to tell you how to same money :P

If you dont mind me asking, what makes you qualified to give people info on how to save money? Where is your info comming from?

And let me add that prephaps my previous post were a little harsh and I do apologize for that. However I stand by everything I posted and commented on.

I also would like to add that I think this article is misleading, contains false information and promotes illegal actions (copyright infringment) as such I have reported it to that paper.

I agree with you Martin, and I accept the apology :happy:

The source of where this is coming from is many websites that I find correct, and some posters around my school that they made :smoke2:

The newspaper article... I had nothing to do with it. Talk to Andrew (apoecker) about it. :hmm:

How did Gil find the article , in the first place?

I got it in a Google News Alert e-mail. Probably how Gil got it too.

As for Curt's qualifications, I'll say this: usually it takes alot of experience and knowledge to label yourself an expert, specialist, or anything else. I'm pretty sure that at 12 he has little of either.

This is not anything against you Curt. I'm talking about titles in general, not just yours.

It's fine! I know that it will take allot of work before I fully expect to master this.

OT: I think that I need to reread what I am typing... I am making allot of errors in my posts.

Gotcha. I think it would be best to cite your sources in the videos :thumbsup:

Another thing I just thought of, does the SS8 project have the rights to all of the music they use. Its claimed that Trammell gave the OK to use his music but unless you have a signed agreement I dont think its really legal. Plus it would not surprise me one but if TWC had attached some strings to the music preventing any competition (although I dont consider the SS8 to be that) from using it. Kinda unoriginal too using Trammell anyway. :dunno:

Just out of curiosity, is Andrew a member of this forum, and if so, is his user name apoecker? :dunno: Robomayhem posted like he was Andrew, so I thought Andrew may have changed his username.

I found it when I typed "Trammell Starks" into Google News.

Correct. They are two different people.  :yes:

I figured Google News had SOMETHING to do with it, Gil.  :D

I find it weird that the newspaper company would let a 16 year old put something in there papers. Wouldn't he need to have parental permission first?

I think that Robomayhem checked into the wrong hotel :footinmouth:

EDIT: Opps! I thought that the 2 different posts would combine like they do at Taiganet... sorry about the double posts.

Yes, we do buy all the rights to the music we use. We contacted Trammell via phone and he did give us permission to use the music, and we did request that he wrote an email to us saying that exact same thing.

Just out of curiosity, is Andrew a member of this forum, and if so, is his user name apoecker? :dunno: Robomayhem posted like he was Andrew, so I thought Andrew may have changed his username.
Robomayhem isn't Andrew. :no:
I am Michael, the one person not even talked about in that article.

And about the newspaper, I don't have the entire details on how it was written, all I know is we were all interviewed for it, asked a few questions about SS8, and that was it. From there, it was published, and I have no idea who it was written by.
