It is because the dubs suck ass. I have seen fansub groups as a joke do a better job dubbing than those dupping houses. So here is why as someone who likes anime doesn't buy them.
1. Their voice acting suck. 2. The voice match up sucks (voice doesn't match characters) 3. They change the meaning of the sentence. (such as a smart ass comment is now a "yes I aggree") 4. They censor things, and even dumb things too. 5. They charge way to much for the complete set. I am not paying $100 for any complete set, let alone one with 24-26 eps! No series should cost more than 50-60. (and thats for the long ass ones)
I wish those anime houses woudl contract or create their own companies do do it. Or heck, contract a fansub place, and let people buy it and download via bt.
This could not have come at a better time as my motherboard (GA-M55plus-S3G) just died. Didn't even know there was anything other than nvidia/via (mostly nvidia ) that I could buy. SO now I get to look at boards with an AMD 690G/V chipset.
GA-MA69GM-S2H just seams ok, a bit to much flash, and I hate hate hate realtek nics. What happened to 3com or other nics?
I work for a company that provides services for the deaf.
There has been lots of problems like that. While the operator is not allowed to inject to the parties on the phone if they think it is fraud or not, they are allowed to IM their suppivisor. They also have a list of things to watch for.
At one time 50% of all calls we proccesses was thought to be fraud, we have done several things to fix this.
One thing, is that when our company goes after these spammers, it is a lot of hassel and work, and very little happens against them.
It is sad that a punk kid would use this for such a dangerious prank.
The problem with RPM is, well let me give a scenerio Suse 8x/9x came with such and old versions of gaim, that none of the protocals worked, they where liek a year behind. No big deal, just download the latest gaim right?
Wrong Have to update GTK, KDE, and a half dozen other libs. Something that would take a windows user oh, I dunno, they might have to update DX or drivers at the most, not the whole entire X11 server.
I use linux a lot, but not as a desktop. To much work.
"Once you hit 12TB, RAID5 becomes useless because chance of unrecoverable read error approaches guaranteed"
I keep reading random things about a max size you want for raid 5 because of the chance for errors. But I can't find anywhere with any authority on it, nor can I find what limit one should place on raid.
and the light pollution is such that on many days I can read a book (with difficulty)outside, and during xmass it is a lot easier. Granted it depends a lot on where in slc area.
I have actually complained about it recently because I was camping and I could barely see the milkyway, when as a kid in a small town in cali, I could see it easily despite having a street light next to our house.
Well, actually this is what I think, If I was distributing something illegal:
First I would find a way to hide tracks for myself, then I would name and advertise the file to something that would be expect on TPB, but not something popular, like Win95, old hard to find movies, etc. Then e-mail/contact the clients about the file. After al lthe clients have acquired it, and a random amount of time, tell TPB that you found something they need to remove.
If anyone gets questioned, they where just downloading what they thought it was listed as. I am sure there would be a few innocent people caught up in this as well.
Making the guilty and the innocent look the same would help those offenders. Putting it in a hidden circle/place/group where they can't claim ignorance of the file contents and would make it easier for more leads into the group.
Not to nick pick or go OT, but another something most people do not realize.
Does using any brand of toothpaste contribute to the cleanliness of your teeth? No.
Well not directly, it freshens your breath mostly. But it does provide you with some toxic heavy metal that might bond with your teeth that could be more resistant to getting cavities. Brushing does 99.99% of it.
I own several computers and have washed keyboards many times. Keyboards from brands from memorex, HP, Dell, keytronics, microsoft and logitech.
I have a keyboard I had since 1993 (keytronix) and retired it in 2003. That is 10 years, and washing it in the dishwasher almost yearly. Sure the ink on the keys wears out fast, but it saves you $80 http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/8396/
The 3 dangers are Water: Be sure to let it dry. Soap: can corrode metal and could leave a conductive film. Use a light amount of soup. Heat: Use top shelf, and or turn of heat dry.
I usually take the face plate off when washing it, and let it dry for at least a week to a month. I also wash ~5 keyboards at a time and I use about 1/2 the soap, and turn head off. I use twisties to keep the cords in large loops. I have not washed a wireless keyboard in this fashion.
What state is that? I would think it would take a warrant just to be able to listen in on someone like that. In a car taking to a friend, I would expect a certain level of privacy, sure they would see us, but not hear us.
The mountain meadows massacre, not sure how authentic that is, its on a website that prides itself anti-cult. This writing about the killings gives you a little bit of insight how the morons had to protect themselves from mobs, and even the US army And even then most of the stuff on there isn't bad, dad trying to sue LDS church for son being babtised? WTF! of course he would not win.
Have you actually read what the posts are? the NY times starts off with a slight negative connontatoin, but in the end the whole thing makes the Mormons to be the best of humans. And the FBI/CIA part is "The FBI and cia, drawn by a seemingly incorruptible rectitude, have instituted Mormon-recruitment plans."
The Mormon Murders, umm how does this point a finger at anyone? have you even read that? They just used the name Mormon as a flashy title.
And the last one is an anti-mormon site. Do I need to say more? But this is what I do know, mormons had to protect themselves somehow, as people would gather mobs and hunt down and kill Mormons. I even remember reading about that in 7th grade history in California over 15 years ago. Not Utah.
Mormons allow anti-mormons, so long as they know they are not mormons. They give their books away for free, they are one of the best welfare and donation places out there, (everyone else takes 30-80% as overhead costs, mormons don't keep a single cent).
I'm all for bashing their beliefs of becoming a god or what not, but not creating your own or other peoples lies.
Dude that is so BS, living in Utah I see Mormons giving away their books for free, all 3. Sure you could subscribe to their magazines, but you can also check them out for free from any of their churches if you wanted to read it.

"How do you know air bags made from hemp wouldn't be able to do the job? Or is there some other problem?"
Sure, if you get in an accident where the airbag is deployed, the hemp would burn from the explosion. Then the cop that arrives on the scene would find you stoned . . .
The cosntitutiomn was ment as a way to presever our rights as humand, and limit what can be taken away. Howe3ver, none of that matters anymore since the Constitution is just goddamned piece of paper
I had old winx 2. something, but couln't find it, and I have tried downloading from torrent, but asked me information about logging on to get key or some such. WTF?
Can you even buy a few months anymore, and play your games?
