For the love of god there are MORE than two candidates in this, and all presidential races!!! We aren't left with two anything, vote for the candidate who best suits your qualifications. There are not just 3, either. In fact, it goes to double digits.
Just think of the shadow cast by that monster. Seriously, just as planting a Redwood 3 feet from your neighbor's fence, this will surely be a concern very relevant to many citizens in the affected country(ies).
Can someone tell me WHY things like OXYGEN and WATER are "required" for LIFE?
WE, humans need O2...but plants like C02!
There are insects which live (and thrive!) in intense radiation.
Deep, deep down on the ocean floor: PHOTOTROPIC plants get pretty damn creative for getting what they need to live.
Are we that close-minded? Or am I a total jackass for misunderstanding that those ingredients are needed for the legos of life? Thanks in advance for teaching me something I didn't know before!
Matt Greoning has been ready for a while, even joking at one point "We should've had 3 movies by now!"
Here is a link describing all the various rumors and reoprts of a Simpsons movie.
FYI: Fox purchased the simpsonsmovie.com a few years back. Currently it's just used as a placeholder housing ads for 20th Century Fox films and video releases.
Companies aren't allowed to make region free dvds? Is this universal?
I have my Neon Genesis Evangelion 0:1 dvd, which has no listing for region code on the packaging. I then pleasently discovered, its region free! It's put out by ADVfilms. Anyone else have something similar?
The Freedom of Speech you seem to find in logo'd shirts doesn't really seem all that free based on the fact that you are stuck with a limited, corporation-controlled word bank. Solution?

Some of the best news in awhile, Neon Genesis Evangelion is now on DVD!
Well, not all of it yet, but just yesterday I picked up episodes 1-4 on one disc (out of 26 episodes, and two feature films) for a mere $25. Even cheaper here at reel.com.
The great thing is, you can pick sub, or dub (in 4 different languages) on the same disc, and even flip on the fly.
The other 6 discs ought to come out about 2-3 months apart, starting soon. This is definetly one of the greatest animes out there, and I HIGHLY recommend it to newcomers of anime who value story and character development over action. Its very complex and well-made, giving it an awesome replay value. Check it out!
Come on people, this isn't saying anything new, or even anything bad for that matter.
It means you can't have your Lara Croft Pr0n site called "Duke's Babes!" and use their copyrighted material.
You can't have "Duke Nukem's Guide to Making Bombs with Common Househould Items!" with their tm'd graphics.
And finally, "Sir Dukesalot" - a cheesy family restaraunt with Billy, an 11 year old webmaster - is not allowed to use Duke's image. 3dRealms has a reputation to uphold people! Wait...
And, as the official word said, they aren't worried about reviews. At least they are telling you that doing X is wrong instead of just prosecuting, etc.
Anyway, anyone who saw Fight Club might have noticed that director David Fincher put in several such near-subliminal images.
Several-frame apparitions of Brad Pitt's character (this is just noticeable enough, and makes a lot of sense near the end of the film)
When Edward Norton's character is frantically trying to tune out something to the effect of "burning" and "flesh", the exact dictionary defintions appear on screen for approx. 2 frames each.
And, at the very end, just as Brad Pitt's character did with children's films in Fight Club, a frame of pornography is shown for a fraction of a second.
I missed some of the subliminal images the first time around, and apparently some have studied crowd reaction during these moments. Almost exactly as Pitt's and Norton's characters show when they splice in subliminal images, there is a strange aura of confusion regarding that scene.
This ends up serving the director's purpose masterfully, but there is an issue. Some people may be afraid of being "influenced" aside from their own will. This is valid, so we must see if 'near-subliminality' is subliminal enough.
But, when using IMAGES, one isn't trying to send a hidden message, but to create and enhance the mood of the film. Which is something we go to movies expecting to see, right?
Final food for thought: From the people I've spoken too, the one's that missed the images tended to dislike it, and have a significantly slimmer understanding of the film.

Oh wait, that would have the new Anime logo... Taco's got bright colors, robots and chicks in miniskirts in my head lately.
When prices drop to something much more reasonable, like $20 or less, piracy becomes a rather feasable (and profitable) option.
Pardon my sarcasm, and don't flame me. I hate the RIAA and have my own copy of DeCSS like any reasonable person.
Or something showing an image much more as it would be in real life. Inhumanly brutal. After all, you /.ers parade for truth, do you not?
What do you mean no results found for ROSWELL UFO COVERUP?! My tax dollars PAY for this to... oh.
...who thought "Pilot Synthesis" was about Neon Gensis Evangelion?
^_^
Excellent, now my extended efforts in cracking Malda's password will take one hundredth of the time thanks to that useful little tidbit...

No, really I do. It's called a Cryptograpple, on page 38 of the daily news.
Soon as I read this, my eyes glazed over and grew to about 1/2 the size of my face
Is this official/legal? Getting vivos of series like Neon Genesis Evangelion is increasing hugely in popularity, from net to ftp to hotline to irc.
(my only complete japanese sentence: but...i'm sooo hungry!)
This an April fools joke, I assume?
