I don't mean to be rude, but it's my opinion that anyone who thinks that people who didn't like the ending "didn't get it" are just desparate for a reason to feel superior to others.
I did get the "meaning" of the show, thankyouverymuch,I just happen to think that it was too dryly and abstractly presented, as well as wrapped in too many pretentions. If you're gonna tell a story, you can't just abandon large parts of it when they don't interest you any more. A story isn't an essay.
I also explicitly said that Gainax made better stuff than Evangelion - Gunbuster being one example.
I really don't see what's so confusing about it. There are no precedences, the permissions are checked for your currend UID and GID, and if what you're trying to do isn't permitted to either, you get an error.
What if I'm rather bored by it and think it was artistically shoddy, bad storytelling, a serious overdose of pretentious, artsy, and ultimately meaningless symbolism and cheap special effects? Pretty much every single Gainax anime before and after Evangelion has more actual meaning.
Mid-90ies, actually (started on Japanese TV in 1995). Personally, I think it's vastly overhyped. It's good, but not truly great, and the ending sucks (both of them). Gainax has done better.
It's one and the same thing. How can a tool for circumventing a copyright protection mechanism be illegal if the mechanism is pathetically weak and the tool has many other legit applications?
Er, did you read what I wrote? My point is that nowhere on that exact "about" page is there a direct explanation! There is a short quote about the "idea behind" the contest, and much history, but nowhere does it outright state what the awards are given for! Only because I have a technical background can I suspect that they are for the best website that's no larger than 5 kilobyte.
How ironic that this site, too, is victim to the "insiders only" pitfall: nowhere on the site can you easily find an explanation of what "5k" actually is: even on the about page, they explain what the purpose of the competition is, but not what the competition itself is! And people who don't have a technical background most likely couldn't deduce it either.
I've seen this several time, and it's quite frustrating: people write their website with themselves in mind, assume that everyone who visits it will have a certain knowledge base to make sense of it, and never think of those who don't.

Yes, I'm perfectly aware. 1g = 9.81 m/s^2
Acceleration stands for change of speed in relation to time. If you drom something on a hard surface, the time it takes to decelerate to 0 is very short, so you get astoundingly high accelerations (or decelerations, in that case) even though the speed wasn't all that high.
Sorry, but I'd rather have the OS zealots that I'm familiar with that newbies in the OS zealot business such as you.

No, I'm actually pretty sure he'd want you to buy a server that doesn't, because such a server would cost considerably more $$$.
As for the second, I fail to see how withstanding fire or earthquake is funcionality that a RAID array should or could provide, and 27g of acceleration is downright pathetic, because you get peak accelerations that are a multiple of that if you just drop a HD a few inches on a hard surface, and most of your ragular, cheap-as-dirt ATA HDs can actually withstand that without a problem.
I imagine most people on/. would agree with the statement that the current arrangement is rather lame.
Sure? I for one don't have any problems with it. The root servers are numerous and widespread enough to be disaster-resistant, and having more of them sure as hell won't make the system more hax0r-resistant. As for the TLD issue, that's something companies gripe about, not users.
And when was the last time you used a URL with an IP number in it for anything but downloading warez?
Nowadays, everything works with hostnames. If you can't resolve them, being able to access the hosts they point to doesn't help you one bit because you don't know which hosts those are.
Wrong. Read the GPL. If they include GPLd code, the GPL forces them to provide the result (and its source code) for the cost of distribution, otherwise they are violating the license under which the GPLd code was given to them.
Um... you see, the point is that emacs is absolutely, totally programmable. It does webbrowsing, email, newsgroups, tetris and literally anything you want, if you can program it. Prsonally, I think it's a load of crap, and anyone who uses it habitually has no right to criticize Microsoft for making bloated software.
This will be particularly true unless there's an easier way of dealing with the copy controls for
large businesses with huge numbers of PCs to manage. Just think about what dealing with all of those damn licenses will do to Microsoft's
vaunted TCO.
Not necessarily. Large businesses use license manager software; in fact, some even employ people wholse sole job it is to make sure that all the company's software usage is legal. May sound absurd, but if you have thousands of copies of dozens of different software packages running on hundreds of workstations, it pays off to be safe because you're a high profile target for pirate hunters.
Just a nitpick: if the band is not a total one-bit outfit, they would be idiots to have the CDs "burned". Professionally produced CDs are pressed, becayse they are cheaper and quicker to make that way in numbers larger than maybe 1000.
You continue to assert that "dub" in all cases equals "badly done dub", which is just nonsense. And "exotic language" is sure as hell not part of the director's vision. And what if the original dialogue was the Japanese equivalent of "hey yo wassup how ya doin" (which is quite often the case)?
I think your reasons to prefer subs are mostly ones you constructed in your mind and which have not much to do with reality.

Not necessarily anime, could also be discussion fora on the Web...
However, Death contains some scenes that were not in the original TV episodes, and not on the vidoes released in the US.

Not if you're the only person who understands that set of obscure perl scripts on which their website depends completely...
You really ought to look a little harder.

I'm pretty sure that the RIAA is much more concerned about non-streaming, regularly downloadable MP3s...

You have no idea how computer programs work, do you? buffer overflows are by far not the only way in which particular input can crash a program.
