This would definately be a good car system. Integrated TV Tuner, Geforce 4 MX (I know, I know), 5.1 Sound, USB 2.0, dual nics? This would be great for an mp3 car
Hrm, there are lots of different ways to score anime. My primary methods involve renting via Netflix, borrowing some movies, and grabbing from a fansub group.
As many of the previous posts said, renting via netflix is pretty good. I've been a member for almost a year and a half now, and they've improved significantly on speed in the east coast. Their selection is very good, but be forewarned. If you get into a series, be prepared to shell out the $$$ and buy the thing. They will usually only carry 1 or 2 DVDs out of a series. However, they are getting better about that. They have a user rating system in place where you can fire back comments if you've already seen the anime and you can rate it up to five stars. I've noticed that they've also opened up a small distribution center in my neck of the woods. I'm not so sure if you have one in New Jersey, but there is one in Dunwoody GA which is not too far from my locale, which gives their speeds up deliveries. However, the more obscure titles (read: anime) usually aren't held at those houses and take more time because they must be shipped from california. As for I have noticed that they seem to carry the more popular animes such as Cowboy Bebop and Perfect Blue at the smaller centers though. Overall, its a good deal. I can grab more anime than at the general blockbuster and kind of try the DVD before I buy it. Very nice
My other favorite method will defintaley have you see something different, but you have ot be honest. You need to have some sort of broadband, preferably DSL and a streamload account. For the unitiated, www.streamload.com has taken the anime world by storm because it allows anime lovers to have an unlimited sized hdd online to store their audio and video. You can have other users "stream-beam" files to your streamload account and log on there to download files as fast as your connection will allow. However, the service is not free; they charge for bandwidth usage. I get 3 gigs a month for $8. With that, you can just flex your google skills and find one of the multitudes of fansub groups that will send to your streambox. However, you have to stay on the lookout and delete anime in your collection that may become licensed. You can get multitudes of anime this way and see something that may never come here! it is a great system and has been a boon to my broadband experience. Try allanime.de to start out, there are some great people there.
see, thats how they are powered as well. The Terabyte drive also acts as its own nuclear reactor. Its soo hot, that it achieves fission right after bootup
hrm. What do I need extra cpu cycles for? Well, I've got a 1900 Athlon XP+ with 512 pc 2100 DDR ram and I need all the extra cycles I can get. Ever tried watching a divx movie while encoding another one? How about watching a divx movie while using your capture card to grab and you cpu to encode the show in a format? My system is just barely up to snuff for real time Divx 5 encoding.
Dell or would that be phoenix has had this for a while. Basically its a small sensor over the chasis and cover. When set in the bios, it will detect if the cover was removed and tell you upon bootup. Some models even featured an audible alarm.
I'm reminded of another industry that relies on software and hardware. The console gamin industry while slightly different because the hardware is more stable, still has similarities. Just take a look at Nintendo. People may gripe at how they take too long to release software, but they make sure they get it right. If it goes to play testing and a tester says that the software dosn't "feel right", it goes back into developement for another few months. Not to harp on them too long, but take a look at Zelda ToOT. That title took 3 years to make. Conkers BFD took 4 years.
To be honest, I think its more of a cultural thing than anything else.
YOur right, and I hate discs too. Whiles its not exactly what you want, many of the software dVD players out there will read ripped DVD files. You won't get your fancy menus, but you will get pure unadulterated DVD quality
I would really have to agree on this one. The internet allows for ultimate freedom, which is good, but also allows for ultimate idiocy.
Ultimate idiocy can proliferate freely if you find the right crowd to hang with online. I was recently trying to do a report about Martin Luther King, and I stumbled onto this site. It was without a doubt the worst craziest load of drivel ever contrived. It turned my stomach. It just goes to show you that the Internet exists for sharing ideas. You probably won't agree with all of those ideas, but it provides the ultimate freedom of speech. By providing this, you can "preach to the choir" of your group and find more like minded individuals for your idea to spread
hrm, do you mean full frontal female nudity as in just the bits on top? Then yes, it is in the "R" rating, but male nudity of the "top bits" is in the PG-13 and sometimes PG ratings.
I"ve got a simple solution that may get me modded down, but here goes. How about making a law that adheres to the rating system that already exists. Instead of outlawing youngsters from buying games, card those who are buying an MA game. MA games require you to be 17, so you get the 17+ demographic thats so important. If 16 year olds want it, have them ask their parents. For Teen games, its like a PG-13 movie. That gives you all the 13+ demographic. For E games or KA, you don't really have to card. These things are pretty simple folks. We don't have to re-invent the wheel here. To be honest, I don't think it needs any kind of legislation, but to the religious right who are so determined to control everything, just look at the situation for a second and come up with something sane.
Hrm, this seems to remind me of what some japanese scientists were doing a few years ago. They were able to rewire a cockroache's nervous system to work in a remote controlled sort of way. It worked nicely, but the unit was kind of bulky to attach to a bug.
BTW, if I was stranded somewhere, I wouldn't want to have a bunch of rats crawling all over me.
I would disagree. Where's Malcom? Malcom in the middle is one of the funniest shows in the lineup. If anything, they need to hurry up and end X-Files. The show is on its way out, but it was on it way out years ago. Simpsons isn't as funny as it used to be, but its still good.

So the crew of the Enterprise really did really travel back in time. Scotty must have told someone.

Oh great. They can legalize hacking but they can't legalize it

Well you know what they say, opposites attract

I think the specs are so high, because they want to generate the FMV in real time
Obligatory Simpsons quote.
"MMMMM porn 1 million times faster"
courts to microsoft: Your corporation has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. Close or Ignore?
Microsoft has been clicking "ignore" for a while, but it looks like its no longer working. Lookes like they'll have to click "close"
The White Anglo-Saxon Protestant never left!
I swear, when I read that title it looked like "How hard is it to manage Different Uncles?
And all this time I thought all they made were modems for 16bit video game systems.

"quarter cent per song"?
At that rate I could actually PAY for my 10gig collection of MP3s.
But didn't Tyco already come out with the Racin' Rats?

I know its dated, but it just fits this situation so well.
