I tried. Actually, you can get into the site without problem and
it even tells you that you're logged in as jeff.ricker, a rare
honour. But for those of us who are PowerPoint devotees (now that
Jeff has outed me), it doesn't help. Using a technique which
appears to be spreading, and which takes a lot of the fun out of
surfing the web for PowerPoint material, it won't allow you to
copy it. (This also happened the other day when I was trying to
import a picture of a smiling Steven Pinker from his website. I
guess he doesn't want my students to know what he looks like).
However, if you're patient, you can copy all the New Yorker
cartoons you like from:
http://www.comics.com/cartoonbank/index.html
The reason you have to be patient is that they're one week
behind, and the water cartoon won't arrive on the site until next
week (it's in the 3/26/01 issue).
As for Steven Pinker, it wasn't easy, but I found an unauthorized
pic, just as good. It's an instinct I have.
