yeah, 'cause name dropping = a clue right? The pic looked only vaguely anime; which of course means everyone's going to draw immediate conclusions about the artist's influences, since, after all, anime is the in-est thing around... no mention of the fact that 99.99999% of it is total and utter shit (not unlike american comics, but at least US comic fans don't harrass non-westerners' over the cultural idiosyncracies that they may not understand OR appreciate). hells, Marvel just recently proved manga's style over substance to be a total farce when they ran the manga-verse mini's. Every one of the stories were total crap, and yet were a perfect parody of many anime themes and story structures. In toto they didn't hold a candle to most of the other A-list titles they had on the shelves at the same time. Or most of DC's for that matter. Yeah, manga's got it's masters.... so do us titles. I suck at names (so wonk off) but several titles come to mind when I think about great art: the ultimates, detective comics, an more. I wasn't harrassing you for your acute observation, just for the knee-jerk fanboy reaction to what might as well be considered an "original" piece of work on some hard working artist's behalf.
Yeah... because Anime's the only illustration art out there that exaggerates the female figure and makes things "look cool"... go pick up a comic book sometime. Most of the good stuff DOESN'T come from over seas.
Yes, and if Netscape hadn't been so busy trying to kill Ms, there'd have been a version 5, and we wouldn't be stuck with 4 like so many users are. COMPETE DAMMIT!
puh-lease. a non frame browser is NOT a browser. I have no love for frames WHEN USED POORLY in BAD DESIGN. but there's no need to punish those designers who KNOW how to use a frame. gee, a NO-IE tag, sounds lika like a monopoly making strategy eh? oooh, the blade swings both ways? PS, don't like a site? DON'T VISIT IT. It's JUST LIKE TV. Upgrade or get stuck with suck.
So long as it's not the big bad doing the sneaky-sneaky, then there's probably room for discussion. Netscape LOST the browser wars, and just like every other dot-com pos they're trying to make bank off of selling YOUR INFO. Fuck that it's anonymous. It's still demographics they shouldn't have!!!! Sad state of affairs where the losers get desperate INSTEAD OF INNOVATIVE.
GUH... it'll be the attack of the OEM installed CRAP. Ever bought a new HP? A new Gateway? It takes a bleedin' hour to uninstall all the crap that comes with it. I just got one for my dad from HP. It came with XP and some proprietary BS cd software. XP has cd burning built in. It seems like a big duh to me. Not to mention all the crappy freeware games that came preinstalled. I must have nuked 10 of them.I'll take MS's highly usable tools anyday
I don't want an OS that's not fully integrated with a browser. Or a cd-burner for that matter. Everything that's built in is common fucking sense. Why do I need choice in browsers when the competitions' never been better than MS's? NEVER since NS3? If they'd stop worrying about competition and start worrying about STANDARDS we'd be better off I think. I like having an FTP client built into my browser, and my browser being used for file navigation etc.. So what if I can download a bazillion crappy ftp clients? They all do the same damn thing
Uh. Alzheimer's doesn't make for pretty babies. Alzheimer's makes for cripples. We screen for pretty babies when we pick out hotties in the bar (be they m or f). At this rate though, the genus Nerdus Biggus will be extinct soon enough.
So, it was good enough for you, it should be good enough for millions more. Medicine and science are about advancement. You've lived better than any generation before. So well that DESPITE your genetic 'disabilities' you were aided in survival. It's possible that much would be unlikely given the nature of some ancient cultures. Our predecessors will have the chance to live lives that strech eons, free of diseases of the body AND the mind. All it takes is some hard work now.... and the guts to take some chancy risks.
Indeed? A dog crapping in a forest is no more natural than a chemical plant, or a geneticists lab. We are all in and of nature. There's percievable order for sure, but how do you know this possiblility isn't the order of tomorrow? To what ends? It's the journey there that's keeping luddites awake at night. It's the ends that keep me in a coffee shop all hours of the night debating crap philosophy with my peers and equals.
How do you know your peer groups didn't influence the way you percieved your physical adeptness? At a young enough age children can develop muscle mass very quickly and speed and stamina is rarely a problem. You may have been more predisposed to "hang out" with the friends you did, not because you weren't the Jock type, but because a certain song, parent, other adult influenced you enough to seek differenct kinds of companionship. Don't try and simplify life. It's really much more complex than all that.
Bull. It's much more likely that the "Average American" has no opinion on Iranians. Even those with long memeories would be hard pressed to come up with a definite opinion.
Great googly moogly, that was a fine episode. One of the best ever? Sure, for a show that's had more something like 20 best eps ever, I'd put it in with the rest. It was VERY crafty, completely unpredictable, and escpecially well written. Yes it was wierd and creepy. IMMENSELY SO. and unlike X-files it had the balls to take something so perfectly MUNDANE like fastfood and make it so twisted, sinister and evil, that you expected slime monsters to jump out of the fryer at any moment... but guess what... none of that was the source of the murderous evil... Sure, evil in it's own life-sucking, stultifying way, but not the flesh rending, hellmouth type. Fucking genious. Let's not forget the very hilarious performances and lines.
Yes hush was a good ep.. They always pull off the gimicky ones well.
Oh puh-lease, This is SO much darker than Angel/Buffy ever were, and being explicit is NECESSARY. (see how my caps convince you!) It only highlights the naughtiness of it all. Filler? Just admit it, it makes you uncomfortable, which is 1/2 of what the writers want you to feel. The other 1/2 is turned-on, cause, hey, they're both sexy-as-all-hell and the sex has been QUITE risque. Angel and Buff wern't twisting sexuality around on it's head, they were playing out a metaphore, girl gives it up, boy turns bad, sex has consequences (a theme admittedly played out a little too often on the show). I don't understand your last sentence.
9. Men are from mars, women are from venus. I know this to be true. Get the book on CD, and listen to it in your car.
BS. Women are from Mars, Men from venus. You can't fit everyone in neat little cubbies. I despise trash books like these. They never work and they're never true. I've yet to meet intelligent people in a loving relationship that fall so evenly within the corrals these books propose. Not that I'm against learning to understand what makes your life mate tick, but give people a fighting chance, teach them about the variety of human personalities, and how they'll never be able to use a sexist character type to understand their mates. And if trying to understand your life-mate and be sensitive to their needs makes you a "f4g" then, fuckall, I'll fly my freak flag high.
The episode was creative, inventive, HILARIOUS and quite original. So what that Hannigan can't sing. She had WHAT, like 2 lines? It was made known in interviews etc, that she can't sing, which only added to the humor of it all. It was anything BUT out of place. It came right from the Man himself and mined the characters motivations better than most episodes.
The sex is plain wonderful. Grow up. For those of us adults, NOT made squeamish by "grown-up sex" it's been a tintillating season, full of daring-do, mature themes (dominance and the darkness of sex) not to mention some of the best episodes ever (the double meat conspiracy, the musical ep, etc).
Um, ok, you can be lumped along with all the "Season X was SO much better" viewers, who season after season INVENT some kind of buffy litmus test to explain why they're not "getting into" the current season. The Musical episode was immensely entertaining and original. It marked a high point for TV, and a creative twist for the show in general. The songs were fabulous, if amatuerish at times. There was more plot progression than most episodes and it carefully mined the character's motivation exquisitely. Not to mention the fact that it was drop-dead hilarious. Not everyone likes musicals. If that's the case, own up to it, move on.
I agree that this is somewhat unfair, but BOTH parties are responsible. Responsible in ways that superceed any "resentment" that most unresponsible men WOULDN'T feel, because (and can I can assure you this) they've not cognated their place in the bigger scheme once in their entire lives. If they did care about the "imposed responsibility society dictates to them", they WOULD be more responsible.

Tactile feedback? Just let your nails grow long. The click of your nails on a surface would be enough. Could start a trend?
uh. yeah. you rule. *gag*. get over yourself.

That's not a non-standard coding feature. IE5 > IE6 = less than 10% love loss

There's a new Sam and Max coming out. NON-LUCAS ARTS! I don't have the link, so sue me, but the concept art looks great.
