Slashdot Mirror

As far as I can tell, Anime is good because it is simply better. There are probly a million reason why there are no comparable shows in America to eva (a series with big robots attacking eachother, but it is so perfect in every way) or Kare Kano (a sappy teen romance show were the animated characters out act any real actor in America) as shows as insanely funny as FLCL (A show where robots comes out of a young boys head. Don't ask :). Look at Cowboy Bebop> , these shows are better acted, have actual contining story lines, and have some of the best scripting in the world, all things that American TV is lacking. Can you imagen a show like Seral Experiments Lain (were a girl discoveres her identy as a man-made god [maybe, its a compicated show] while in The Wird) could ever be made in America, it is just to groundbraking to be considered in America.
Doubt me, just sign on to Morphious or your favorite file transfer program and check out one of the titles I've just mentioned. Or go to anipike and just serf. Yes there are many good American TV shows, West Wing, Invader Zim, Family Guy (oh wait) Futurama (darn) and the Simpsons (well it was good for a time), but they are in the minority. For every one of them, there are a dozen Darma and Gregs.
I won't lie, there are a whole lot of bad anime titles, but the reason why we see so many good titles over here is that none of the bad stuff gets sent over the pond, just like only the best titles get to Japan, its like a big filter.

There's no reason to even let CTS become an issue to you; work out your hand while you're sitting there mulling over a piece of code and not only will it make your hands feel a lot more nimble, it'll sooth the inflammation that causes that numb feeling.

I have no personal investment in these things, this isn't a plug. Just something I started doing once my fingers got numb one day and the effect was nearly immediate, my hand felt better within a few hours.

For the link dependent, here is another person saying pretty much the same thing (with some other ideas, which I'm not exactly prepared to try out ;).

A Pong faq. Funny, sure.
An existential pong faq? Heeeee-larious.

He obviously doesn't fall into the catagory of a person who ought to be posting to Slashdot at all. I wonder if he even knows what the word "root" means?

Just a wakeup call to people who thought they were replying to the comments of a halfway intelligent person.

malda, you're such a dipshit.

No "Informative" karma please. A dufus could have figured this out.

Again this is because A&F makes it extremely convenient to say "I like A&F" while there is no easy way to say "I don't give a poop about A&F" or "I abhor A&F".
