*Yawn* Of course anime is sexist and full of cheesecake, just as much as American shows do. the main difference is that the anime is far more likely to have sexually appealing underage girls.
As to anime as porn, replace every instance of anime in your previous statement with "movie." We have live action porn movies in this country, it uses a medium that is also used to convey works of art and random schlock. Just like anime. As a feminist should I avoid everything that might be tainted with non feminist ideals or should I just keep that in mind while I watch a damn goos show?.
If you want disturbing elements though, try reading up on the casual libking of sex and violence in Japanese culture. It gets very disturbing when you delve into it.
It's easier to get cash for new computers out of parents than for batteries and easier to justify using some of my savings on it too. A four year old laptop shows its age in many ways not just dead batteries.
My IBM battery burns out every six months to the point where I no longer put the damn battery in it when I don't have to. 200 bucks is alot for a poor student especially with the other things that laptop demands. As shiny as the six hundred series looked at the time I must say that mine has been quite a disapointment. It was my first non apple hardware and to be frank I am typing this post from a G4 tower now.
Not to mention Worldnet's less than stellar performance as an actual ISP. Nothing like the secondary phone number for your area being inactive permently or getting dropped every thirty minutes.
Have you tried some of the other meds? Its not unusual for one to have side effects while another doesn't. I can't take dextrostrat or Ritilan anymore due to their side effects on me.
Yes! Someone else with a mac plus and all the dinky games that occupied endless hours. Not only did I while away my youth playing Bash Big Blue, I spent probably months worth playing brickles.
Have you ever watched Trimuph of the Will? The only profile that they can get out of that is that you suffer from insomnia and you need the most boring movie in the world to sleep.

Am I the only who thinks that the Honor on the cover art looks like Susan Ivanova wearing the pre-rebellion uniform?
I don't know if this is better worse than what a Kroger's in Durham, NC has. When you go near the vegatables a speaker plays rain noises. When you are near the eggs another speaker clucks and when you are near the meat a speaker moos. How is that supposed to make me buy stuff?
My complaint right now is that my new motorola, the shiny gray one that Altell made me give up my StarTac for, echos. It is annoying, disconcerting and something that I've never had a problem with before. If I had a choice I'd stuff their forced obsolencence down their throats and get my old relalible phone reconnected.
Many comic artists are moving to selling dead tree versions to raise money. I'm also glad to see that more of the comics that sell t-shirts are moving away from cafe press: example MegaTokyo has gotten a store on ThinkGeek. In fact due to recent circumstances Piro is trying to make a living off being an artist. The problem is that very few webcomics are actually good, or even updated regulary.
I have no problem with a web business, or any business that offers a free service and a better pay service. It all depends on how much I want to pay for the features. In most cases I've seen you either have a functional but limited service for free and then pay has faster access or more transfer. If advertising can't pay the bills anymore why shouldn't the purchaser of services and the person who directly puts the strain on servers/support/etc?
I've gotten some ants in my Thinkpad once but I cleared those out by moving it to another (antless) building and attacking it with a can of compressed air. When I was younger I was stupid and left a half full coke can next to my Apple IIsi. Thankfully no ants colonized it but EW EW EW EW. We had thousands crawling everywhere, in the keyboard, in the moniter, in the printer, under the manuals in the computer itself. It took me a week to de-ant that entire room and another week to properly clean out all the corpses.
And you can find unattractive women in American shows? Sure anime is just as sexist as American televison but at least not all the shows aimed at girls are "Fairy Magical Unicorn Dust in Barbie Land."
Er...I can think of plenty of macs with iDVD that don't have superdrives. They just have DVD drives. But yes, finally being able to eject broken CDs is a good thing.
Isn't that what is said about all projects? It doesn't matter if you are theorectially advanced. Most people want concrete advancedness. People also want to be able to use the damn thing.

Your Best Buy actually carries macintosh software? Lucky bastard. Mine quit carrying it years ago.
Benny Hill would be a goose show.

I believe you are. I believe that once you are in the offical courts of America you have the same rights citizen or non citizen.
I always thought it sounded like "My wife for hire."

Our school insisted we use hotbot or altavista. Hotbot was impossible to access over the school's lousy connection.

Plaque is also the stuff on your teeth which McDonalds food can put there. :-)

That's actually a thought....

And now the obligatatory comic plugs:
Something Positive
Errant Story
Star Trek was Roddenberry's utopian vision of the future so it does come across as a happy semi-socialist meritocracy

Read /., shower, and I'm female. The impossibilities keep piling up.
Yeah, you're right. Teach me to post before i've had a shower.
