or they change the cool moves ("Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" vs. "Art of the Shadow Doppelganger"? come on!) that it's just not right!
That's what "Kage bunshin no jutsu" means in English, though. Yeah it doesn't sound so great.
There's three sides to dubbing. One is the raping of the original series (see: 4Kids). One is a "purist" form, where they go with literal translations. And one is appropriate translation to a different culture while maintaining the original intent or meaning.
Why can't Naruto just say "Shadow Clone"? In Japanese, things sound nice and short, but it turns out to sound way too stretched out in English.
I have a pair of MDR-V4 Dynamic Stereo headphones from Sony that I inherited from my father. My roommate has MDR-V150. (So... 146 versions later?) My dad has had them since before I was born (I think, I at least remember them from when I was a small child) and they still work great. The only thing wrong is that the right headphone wire is a little bit loose and some of the fabric is falling apart, but this can all be fixed.
Are you actually writing a serial story on Slashdot via the comments section? That is awesome. I think you just broke the geek barrier and achieved Mock 1 lulz.
I'm in and have been in several clans over the years. Joining up on the same side to play against people of equal skill is no big deal. But if it turns out that we're steamrolling newbies, then we split our players (3 on one side, 2 on the other, etc.). Anything else is a dick move on the clan's part IMO and it's no wonder that they get banned.
Now, if I designed a video game in which the sole purpose is to jaywalk as many times as possible without getting hit by a car. It consists of nothing but a simulation of what normally would be illegal behavior.Should that be banned?
So? With some coding skill + bittorrent you can easily distribute your own game without a "publisher".
Want to make money? There's plenty of freelance web designers who will design a "pay and you can download" system for your website. There's plenty of hosting companies (especially those not in America) who don't give a damn what you put on your servers.
The need for traditional brick-and-mortar, plastic-disk-in-a-box publishers is essentially gone.
I think a year or two of mandatory military service is a good thing. Even just running citizens through basic and having them do a few months of service goes a long way for a lot of things.
For one thing, in the event of a war, nearly every citizen knows how to use modern weapons. Instant conscription aside, if things were so bad that the government was taken out quickly and there was no command and control the citizens would still be very capable of defending themselves.
For another, it stills a good bit of discipline in people.
Lastly, I'm guessing you're an American. (I'm an American as well.) We don't have the threat of a potential serious land war ever. If, say, a European country declared war on us they'd have to get to us first, typically by air or sea where they would be vulnerable to our massive and very angry air force. If a European country declared war on another European country (or an Asian country, or Russia, whatever), they can travel from point A to point B largely over land. If your national neighbor loses their shit they can literally have troops in your borders within a day.
As much as I'd like to see several people go to prison over this, I feel bad for the local taxpayers and their kids who will have to go to a school $50 million in the red..
He was inferring that the quality of the education at that school district will greatly suffer because their budget will be hugely constrained by a legal settlement. That was my point; with the money they get from the settlement (if they win) this won't be a problem for the parents.
Yeah they'll still pay taxes and that's something you can't avoid. But just because you have to pay taxes doesn't mean you'll also have to send your kids to a struggling school. See Sunk cost fallacy.
Ubisoft has been aggravating. I loved Beyond Good & Evil. Then I hear about them finally - FINALLY - releasing BGE2. Now apparently BGE2 is back in the shitter again.
Ubisoft creates lovely games the first time round (or rather, absorbs some other studio creating the game). They then proceed to rape the content and gameplay in every successive sequel (see: Splinter Cell).
The splitters that were used were from before the days of digital cable television. They couldn't handle the higher bandwidth of digital cable.
After calling in a tech, he ran some diagnostics programs via the web and figured that might be the problem. Our old splitters were practically an empty shell with a hair-thin wire and a capacitor in them! The new ones have completely shored up the problem.

Clearly he's talking about Apple's PinkOS.
That seems a bit unfair. It's our politicians, not the majority of our people, that make people jump through those hoops.
How many average American citizens say, "Oh, I just love all this security theater that ultimately does nothing to protect us?"
So? Other countries will be glad to buy the T-Bills. This is a non-issue. See this post and its child posts..
Yeah, but they can just edit the lip sync anyway (as I've found they sometimes do).
For a huge series like Naruto it shouldn't be a problem.
If a Camel gets a leg blown off, can you replace it with a spare?
MIT already did that three years ago, albeit in smaller scale.
I see Macy's (or rather, the company(s) that do their fourth of july stuff) as being a huge customer and early adopter.

But it's $30 Australian. You can just buy a Monopoly game and bam, you've got thousands of Aussie bucks right there!
I'm surprised more people don't do this.

70s-80s Sony stuff was built like a tank.

If someone is connecting to your machine, there has to be a way to drop their connection.
Like, if you blocked their IP in your hosts file, wouldn't they just drop? (Networking is not my major strength, but you get the idea...)

It already exists.

See my reply to an earlier post.
No shit. But read the post I replied to:

Welp, the parents can take the money and pay for a (typically superior IMO) private school anyway.

C'est la moderation.
Pirates are a part of the problem, but they're only a function of the overall system. Stronger and stronger DRM creates a self-fulfilling prophecy:
1) People pirate your game.
2) You put strong DRM on your game to stop pirates.
3) Pirates are only slowed down, not stopped. Repeat Step 2, but stronger.
4) The DRM is draconian enough that people won't buy the game because of it. People being as they are, a good portion of them pirate the game.
5) Oh noes! The piracy numbers went up?! I guess we need stronger DRM!
Repeat forever and ever.
I had the same exact problem.

If it's as unobtrusive as Steam's online authentication I doubt the majority of people would care.
