Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime

E. Megas writes "According to a Collegiate Presswire story, Cartoon Network (Probably due to its recent acquisition of Futurama) is expanding its Adult Swim schedule to Monday through Thursday starting January 12th. The "Comedy" block on Sundays will stay, but except for Inu-Yasha and Cowboy Bebop (Which will replace the Toonami Midnight Run block on the weekday slots) the Saturday "Action" block will be gone. This means that the legendary series Mobile Suit Gundam will not be aired in full for the second time in a row on CN. Future airings of Yuu Yuu Hakusho and Outlaw Star-And the planned re-airing of Gundam 0080: War In the Pocket-Are thrown into doubt by this decision as well. More schedule details in the article. (Anyone else as frustrated by this as I am?)"

Whereas Gen. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, and other military chieftains, have by force of arms, overthrown the federal institutions of Mexico, and dissolved the social compact which existed between Texas and the other members of the Mexican Confederacy, now the good people of Texas, availing themselves of their natural rights, SOLEMNLY DECLARE,

1. That they have taken up arms in defence of their rights and liberties, which were threatened by encroachments of military despots, and in defence of the republican principles of the federal constitution of Mexico, of 1824.
2. That Texas is no longer morally or civilly bound by the compact of union; yet stimulated by the generosity and sympathy common to a free people, they offer their support and assistance to such of the members of the Mexican Confederacy as will take up arms against military despotism.
3. That they do not acknowledge that the present authorities of the nominal Mexican Republic, have the right to govern within the limits of Texas.
4. That they will not cease to carry on war against the said authorities, whilst their troops are within the limits of Texas.
5. That they hold it to be their right, during the disorganization of the federal system, and the reign of despotism to withdraw from the union, to establish an independent government, or to adopt such measures as they may deem best calculated to protect their rights and liberties; but that they will continue faithful to the Mexican government so long as that nation is governed by the constitution and laws, that were framed for the government of the political association.
6. That Texas is responsible for the expenses of her armies, now in the field.
7. That the public faith of Texas is pledged for the payment of any debts contracted by her agents.
8. That she will reward by donations in land, all who volunteer their services in her present struggle, and receive them as citizens.

These declarations we solemnly avow to the world, and call God to witness their truth and sincerity, and invoke defeat and disgrace upon our heads, should we prove guilty of duplicity.

Mod parent down.

Geez, I tried to do a fun, joking reply to this post, because it's sorta funny in an ignorant way, but /.'s gotten the MS-like philosophy with all the bleapin warnings and bad design:

I attempt to post. I first encountered a lameness filter (I was using lotsa caps purposely and poking small fun at the cap usage in the previous post and at myself with an aol comment). Stupid filter, but hey, fine. It's suppose to catch lameness, not an attempt at a joke (I had about 2 sentence run on in caps, so I'm not sure how the previous post got through and mine didn't).

So I revise the post. I make a note in the comments about the section below supposed to be in all caps, cut paste my post into a file, tr/ with perl and lowercase it quickly, paste it back into the browser form, and attempt to post again. But then I run into the 2 minute posting problem (this is my second comment of the day, and the first this evening), presumably the first post attempt being counted even though it was rejected. Okay...

I then attempt to go back and repost after waiting 2 minutes, but in going back I find out that /. wiped my comments from the Comment box. what the hell...

Shoulda just stopped there. But no, I persist. I check the time, retype my post (not that much to post since I had most of still in a clipboard), see that over 2 minutes have passed, then post, but find out I can't respond because I've run into a 10 postings per 24 hours thing (I read about a week's worth of /. on Mondays, so I suppose I'm still within 24 hours of some of my postings from yesterday).

This is all sorta funny, in a stupid, lame way.

I feel like I'm using a bad interface like Windows, with all these errors popping up. Except it's /. Are the editors just dumbasses with all the cruft they've added or what? Sheesh.

Learn to program a decent error system. For example, if I can't post because I'm over my 10 post limit, if I hit the REPLY link to comment, give me the error then, not a form which I put my comment in and THEN you tell me. And if a post gets rejected by a lameness filter, don't count it as something that was posted when you know it wasn't.

And get rid of the cap filter. That's stupid. Let moderation handle that. That's why it's there.

(Aside: I hope /. never has to use the legal argument that they are not responsible for content on their site because they don't limit content posted, because they certain are if they have an active cap filter aka lameness filter on.)

Bleh. Forget this. Buffy's coming on....
