Everyone is complaining about the celebration scene in Zion. There is of course a very good reason for that scene to be there. They are celebrating real life; the taste and smell of sweat, a real body pressing up against you, the feeling of stone on bare feet. It's real and they love it and embrace every moment of their real life. It's a good thing that message wasn't a little more transparent, they everyone would have been bitching about how obvious everything in the movie is.
I remember the days before the internet when people actually spoke to each other. I'm fairly sure that conversation is far more effective than analyzing search patterns and much faster too. Don't forget that the shortest distance between you and that person's bed is a straight so stop trying to hack their personality.
Of course, this is only a suggestion and nothing that I'd actually do myself; I'm more the stalker type.
Like I said, it's a very common misconception. The shows you mentioned are shown to thirteen year old kids in japan, some of the most violent shows that you can think of appear during prime time (called, the golden hour in japan) on network television. You're using a western value set to determine what is suitable for children and you should know that the Japanese have a considerably different value set, especially when it comes to what's on television.
Let's not forget that Japan also has one of the youngest ages of legal conscent in the world, 13 and the practice of compensated dates between grown men and 13 year old girls is considered perfectly normal. It's different over there guy, learn about it.
Anime, as you suggest, is the only thing that comes close because it doesn't pretend to be a product for kids.
That's a very common misconception. While the audience might be a bit older here in the states, most of the anime we get is targeted at middle school students in japan.
Wouldn't terrorist organizations by their vary nature ignore the laws which would prevent them from pirating closed source software? And while a BSD variant will generally be more secure, i'm sure that security doesn't pose much of a threat to the intelligence gather organizations of the US.
I enjoyed the original Battle Angel Alita. It left me feeling like so much more could be done with it.
A lot of people felt that way because the two part OVA you saw was only a small part of the story that sprawled across a multivolume manga. If you really liked the movie and want more, definitely check out the manga. As with book to movie translations, the manga is usually better then the anime.
I guess i'm luck enough to have a chinatown handy, not only can you get some excellent dim sum twenty four hours a day, but you can also pickup imported/premodded systems at a good price. I paid 110USD for my unit and got it February 15th, one day after the japanese release.
It's well worth the money if you have a mass transit commute that's on the longer side. I wouldn't recommened gaming and driving...
...If you really wanted one of these units. Like the last GBA release, there is no region lockout on the games or the hardware. No reason not to buy early. The big advantage is being the envy of every geek who sees you playing it on the subway.
i send email via my mobile phone to special email address that php parses once per hour for posts. if the subject contains a special key, the post is well, posted. it's seems to be working well. i don't need any special services... AMP (apache, mysql, php) and some well written web scripts do me well.
The Whitney is a museum in New York City showcasing modern art. They also offer a biennial which showcases digital works by many emerging artists. It's definitely worth a visit if you're are ever in New York for the day. Fridays from 6pm until 9pm is pay what you wish admission for all your students/cheapskates.

Litestep, a windows equivilent of Afterstep seems to be the small step forward into the future of GUIs. Litestep is completely customizable shell replacement through a single text config file. It is possible to configure anything from Shortcut keys to rightclick popup menus and even taskbars and VWM. Dozens of modules are also available to add functionality to your GUI. The only problems are that is difficult for most newbies to manipulate the look and feel and it is still a tad bit unstable, also, Litestep users are still stuck with using ultracrappy MS explorer to browse files. Any negative features are easily balanced out by the fact that it's an Open Source project. For more information on Litestep goto: Litestep.net or Litestep.org

Here is a copy of the email that NYU sent out 02/29/30 at 1:03 AM. The language is sort of weak but it's obvious that they don't want napster being used. They claim that one night the network reached 98% capacity:
TO: The NYU Community
In order to ensure NYU-NET availability is sufficient for NYU work, Information Technology Services (ITS) has been forced to take steps to restrict traffic related to an outside service called "Napster," which enables distribution of MP3 music files over the Internet.
In addition, in order to protect the security of NYU systems, we require that Napster software be removed from any NYU-owned machine on which it is installed. And we strongly recommend that it be removed from personally owned computers that are connected to NYU-NET.
The surging increase in Napster traffic on NYU-NET and with the Internet during recent weeks indicates that this service has become quite well known and popular at the University. However, it seems much less well understood that, because of the way the Napster service works, using it conflicts directly with the agreement an individual makes when:
(a) You register for an ITS account or any school or department account permitting network access (see "Responsibilities of All NYU Computer and Network Users," at http://www.nyu.edu/its.standards/respon.nyu);
(b) You connect your personal computer to NYU ResNet in the student residences (see "ResNet Accounts - Specific Policies and Information," at http://www.nyu.edu/its/standards/resnet-policy.nyu ).
NYU's "World Wide Web Policies and Procedures" also applies (see http://www.nyu.edu/its/standards/webpolicy.nyu).
Two main issues force ITS to highlight these policies and take steps to restrict use of Napster: network availability and computer security. In addition, individuals who have been using Napster need to be aware of some further considerations.
1) Network Availability
Traffic on NYU-NET increased dramatically in the past few weeks. Our analyses show that this increase is due largely to surging use of Napster, particularly on and from the ResNet leg of NYU-NET. Last Thursday night, for instance, before we put emergency restrictions into place, NYU's Internet connection was operating at a dangerously high 98% of capacity. After the restrictions, traffic on the link dropped back to the more typical 60% of capacity.
It's not necessarily apparent when you're using Napster that you're generating much network traffic. Once you've downloaded your MP3 files, you might think you're done. But Napster in its default mode makes it possible for everyone else on the Internet to download files from your computer without your awareness or approval. Depending on the popularity of your collection, this feature can multiply many times the network traffic generated by your machine.
This Napster traffic surge has already interfered with the availability of the network for normal NYU work-related connections, which include University projects that require consistent network availability. NYU-NET resources exist to further the academic mission of the University. Though these resources are substantial, they are not infinite. Given the Napster surge, ITS has no choice but to restrict the Napster load on NYU-NET, so that the network remains available for NYU-related purposes. ITS had been planning to upgrade our link to the Internet as soon as the next generation of capacity comes online, later this year. That planning continues. In the meantime at least, these restrictions are essential.
2) Computer Security
It's not readily apparent that, by running Napster, you can introduce serious security risks to your machine and the other files on it, as well as to other computers on the network. Napster disregards the security of individual computers in misleading ways that are unprecedented.
In the default configuration, when you download your first music file from Napster, you automatically also download Napster software that turns your computer into a file server. This software allows any other machine on the Internet to connect to your computer and download copies of your files without your knowledge or approval. Triggered by a request from the other machine, the Napster software on your computer then searches your hard drive and any mounted network drives for "music files to share."
Unprotected file sharing and file scanning create significant risks of compromise to your computer and your privacy, as well as to other computers on NYU-NET. There is no way to tell what malicious functions may be performed by the software you automatically download with the music or what modifications may have been made to the music files themselves. This security issue is further complicated by Napster's decision to release the source code for the software it downloads onto your machine. The resulting proliferation of authors and versions makes your machine even more vulnerable to unexpected intrusions.
Further considerations for those using Napster
Because Napster can automatically turn your computer into a server, it increases the possibility of automatically turning you into a distributor of music files without the creator's permission. Distribution is a step more serious than simply copying these files and can be a violation of U.S. copyright laws. In this regard, it's worth noting that Napster keeps a database of the IP addresses of all the individual computers that use Napster software to distribute MP3 files.
Thanks for your cooperation in addressing what so quickly became a serious threat to both network availability and computer security at NYU. We will, of course, continue to monitor the situation and may take further steps as they become necessary.
