My only problem is, they have so much anime, I don't know what to pick up, since I know next-to-nothing about the subject. Kiki's Delivery Service, Ghost in the Shell, Akira -- that's about the limit of my knowledge. I have picked up the first volumes of Devil Hunter Yohko and 3x3 Eyes, but those were fairly random.
That chart makes no sense that I can see. For one thing, it shows straight-line growth: for another, it shows much less material in the public domain than should have been there.
OTOH I proposed to my wife on Valentine's Day as well. In my defense, however, I can offer the fact that I was such a clod that I didn't even notice the date until afterwards.
I noticed -- in fact, I put an ad in the school paper. I was in RI, Donna was in ME. One of her friends walked up to her after class and said "Did you look at the paper today?" "No...." "Let me show you something."
It doesn't claim to be one, but it acts like one. Pull the cover off your Volume of Sacred Law, to reveal... the Christian Bible!
Gee, ever checked out a Hindu lodge? Betcha they don't use a King James...
Unmask your Great Architect to reveal... the Christian God!
No. The Great Architect is the creator of the universe. Whether you call the GAOTU God, YHWH, Allah, etc., is irrelevant. As we are not a religion, we do not dictate who you must follow. While outside the Lodge, a Muslim may pray to Allah, and a Catholic to "I am who am", each can pray to the GAOTU together, and not worry about praying to the "wrong" god.
Next thing, you'll be advocating misogyny like St Paul.
I pray that sometime in my lifetime, men and women will be able to sit together in "regular" lodges as equals. It's a damned stupid rule, as far as I'm concerned, but I'm honor-bound to follow it.
The Freemasons went after judges, politicians, and so forth.
Hey, don't even think of trying to compare Freemasonry (or at least US Freemasonry) to the Co$ -- we don't run around trying to ruin people's lives. We just try to make ourselves and our communities better. FoxPro Home Page

Actually, as I understand it, that was part of the argument the permatemps were using. "You're treating us like employees, so give us the pay and benefits of employees!" It's left companies no choice but to treat their temps differently -- or pay the consequences. FoxPro Home Page
In Lois McMaster Bujold's The Warrior's Apprentice, Miles has the opportunity to hack into a boarding party's remote-control armor. Among other things, he sets one soldier's... uhh... sanitary system to backwash.:-) He keeps everything subtle as long as possible, so they don't figure out what's going on and switch to manual control....
Is it OK to make a "parody" of The Matrix which uses the complete original footage but a replacement humorous sound track? How about taking the original sound track and using it with new, homemade footage?
Hmmm... Park Wars: The Little Menace might have some bearing here....
Somewhat off-topic, I'm pretty sure that the animators of the Firebird sequence looked at pictures of Mt. St. Helens to draw the volcano at the end....

Thank you for contacting us regarding this issue. Please understand the following or allow us to provide you with some additional information regarding this issue.
In the last several days there has been considerable media coverage concerning the process used to discover evidence of the unlawful job action conducted by some members of Teamster Local 2000 over the year-end holidays.
As you know, Northwest's lawsuit against Local 2000 and a number of individual flight attendants alleged that an unlawful flight attendant sick-out over the holidays disrupted our operations and caused the cancellation of some 300 flights. The Federal Judge hearing the case agreed with Northwest and issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Local 2000 and the individual flight attendant defendants.
After issuing the TRO, the judge instructed both sides to conduct "discovery" or an investigation into the facts of the case. Discovery is a part of almost every lawsuit and has a large set of rules governing how it is conducted, including rules relating to discovery of computer information. Contrary to the media's coverage of this issue, the rules and precedents for the inspection of computers dates back to 1970. Most recently, for example, the government's case against Microsoft heavily relied on e-mails retrieved from the company's own computers.
Using these standard procedures, Northwest sought to discover the identity of the individuals who posted anonymous messages urging unlawful conduct. Before doing so, however, we agreed with Local 2000's lawyers on the procedures to protect individuals' privacy and to ensure that the only computer information reviewed would be related to the sick-out/slowdown campaign. The procedures required the use of outside computer experts to actually conduct the review of each computer and to identify and produce relevant documents. No Northwest employee or lawyer ever saw - or ever will see - the actual computers or any contents except those that are relevant to the inquiry.
As a further protection, the two sides agreed with the Court's direction that once the computer experts identified information believed relevant to the inquiry, such materials would be given to the defendant's lawyer exclusively. The defendants would then produce them to the Court (and then to Northwest) or would object to their production and ask the Court to exclude them.
About 15 computers were actually reviewed; most of these computers were reviewed at the offices of the Union or of Ernst & Young. Where the individual requested it - and only where an individual requested it - the computer specialists went to their homes to inspect the computer. Northwest has not yet seen the contents of any of these computers, and given the recent settlement agreement in this case, that data may never be disclosed to Northwest Airlines.

"I still would like to see a to-scale model of the solar system."
You mean like this one? (scroll down to "A Community Solar System")
Ditto the recommendation for Scarecrow.

The classes have gotten much cooler since I graduated in 1990: back then, I thought Authorware Professional was neat. :-)

There are plenty of films from Britain, France, India etc. etc. Don't forget Japan!
And type in Dvorak. I used to need HandEze gloves when typing for any length of time: I'm not even sure where my pair is now.
Funny, wasn't that a story about someone who got lost for 20 years? Remind me again why someone thought that was a good mission name....
It was filed in 1991, which predates Mosaic, if I recall correctly. It doesn't predate the WWW, though...

Maybe I'm wrong here, but the Boston Museum of Science theater is OmniMax format, with a domed screen. Fantasia 2000 is Imax, with a flat screen.
