The answer to which, of course, is to give the kids cell phones that can dial a pre-programmed list of numbers: mom at work, dad at work, mom's cell, dad's cell, home, grandma, sibling's daycare, after-school work, 911, done.
If it's like the first Xbox book by the same author, or similar books such as Revolutionaries at Sony, Game Over or Renegades of the Empire, mostly number 3, which enough number 2 in there to make sense.
HDMI is (or can be) encrypted, component cords are analog. You can go out and buy, say, a vid cap card for your computer with Component in which will record HDTV.
If, however, you can go out and buy a vid cap card with HDMI in, then that HDMI port is also going to obey things like the 'you cannot copy this' flag. And you can't just build a converter card that takes HDMI in using a soldering board and bits from digikey; you could, if you know what you're doing, with composit/s-video/component.
Actually, I think you'll find that if you can prove that somebody purposefully didn't even try to avoid you, they're up for charges.
But, yes, when you specifically say 'in exchange for allowing me to use your online service, I agree not to modify the physical hardware that I use,' and you then modify the physical hardware, you've got no beef when they discontinue the service on you.
Don't blame the stove when you're told that it's hot, but you poke it anyway.
I also think it had the tightest gameplay of any FF since VII - not just the best story. There were a half-dozen boss battles right at the end and all of them were amazing. And I grew to love the sphere grid system (though it did take a while).
Having to rotate each character into each fight just to get one hit in, to get the XP, got really tedious, really fast.
I've been spoiled by Knights of the Old Republic/Jade Empire, where inactive party members still get XP.
You're quite right that most anime are adaptations of manga, and because of that, they often gloss over, or leave out, important bits, secure in the knowledge that Japanese viewers have probably read the manga and know what's going on.
That having been said, most anime (at least, of this type) is solicited for a season, and designed to be a season. Of course, the Japanese also like to avoid a hard, explicit ending....
I've often wondered why, when after 9/11, Bush so often repeated something like 'anybody who gives aid or comfort to terrorists, we'll treat as terrorists,' nobody went after all the Americans who gave money to Sinn Fein.
So go learn a style that's designed with that lack of formality and real-world application in mind; Jeet Kune Do, Pentjak Silat, Escrima, Muay Thai, CQC, Krav Magev (think I spelled that correctly) and so on.
I've taken a professional, honest-to-goodness Meyers-Briggs test. Administered by somebody specially trained to give them. She spent several minutes explaining about how it shows tendancies, how it's a learning tool, made a great analogy that a right-handed person could, with effort, learn how to be a left handed person, and a given personality type could, similarly, train themselves to new tendancies. It's a spectrum, or a continuum, not an absolute thing, and so on. Test took several hours.
Great. I'm an INTP, by the way.
When a itty bitty 50 question 'MBTI' test is downloaded off the Internet by some random middle manager, who considers it to be the 100% accurate be-all and end-all of crystal balling, and given all willy-nilly, without even understanding how the terms 'introvert' and 'extrovert' are used (and no, they don't mean shy versus gregarious,) I get worried.

Well, actually....
Now hand me my staff. It's the one that says 'magic muther fucker' on it.

Time Machine (loved the Nazi one; pulled no punches!) and the Be An Interplanetary Spy series, too.

I got a Rio 500 as part of the deal when I signed up for Audible in 2000. Played audible files just fine.
Still works, too; doesn't play well with XP though.

Would that be the Live service where you agree, as a precondition to joining, that you won't try to hook up with a modified Xbox?
Because Shadowrun has, what, 15, 20 years worth of cruft, and if you didn't grow up with it, it's DAMN hard to get in to.
It makes sense to start out with the basics, and gives you room to grow, new things to introduce in future sequels, and so on.
Maybe the mean using a CF/SD card, or a micro drive, as virtual...

You've got those backwards; D&R was the rehash, while End of Evangelion was the alternate ending.
Agreed; RahXephon was just as odd, in it's own way, as NGE.
My personal top (or bottom) pick for most fudged-up ending, however, is Avenger.

Go tell all that to a modern-day US Army Light Infantryman.
Reinforces my point, doesn't it? :-)
Go open up a first-run Playstation 1. The inside is a giant two-sided silicon board jam packed with chips and bits.
Now go open a last-run Playstation 1. It's a big empty shell with an itty bitty circuit board.
Here's my problem with the whole thing.

420-some-odd responses, and nobody has mentioned OGRE?
NIMH? Would this be...the Secret of NIMH?
Safety feature.
The problem is that there are contradictory observable facts about lightsabers.
1: They cauterize wounds as they pass through; little or no bleeding. Ergo, hot.
2: They are cool enough to be held an inch away from somebody's skin without causing any problems whatsoever - not hot.
3: They, when stuck point-first into a heavy blast door, will cause the door to start to melt. Damn hot.
4: They are not, however, hot enough to throw off heat for heating.
And so on. Of course, this is a fictional universe; these are not the physics you are looking for.
