I agree, the movie was jumbled and hard to follow. That and way too dark.
The series worked for me, as long as I remembered this was a sci-fi made-for-tv-show. I think that following the book was a good thing, something that directors seem to have just realized recently.
btw, check out Children Of Dune on alt.binaries.multimedia.scifi at 1.5 gigs its a bit hefty but good quality.
what? http://www.animetempy.com/ The series in the spotlight section are usually worth your time. I also like the reviews, 4-5 stars is usually a guaranteed win.
Math theory seems like the right way to describe it.
I've noticed that most of the fun games I've found (or at least the addictive ones) tend to be those nasty NP problems. Tetris for one, was proven (?) to be NP... and then there is starcon2 (alpha 2 UQM just came out! Much improved since last reported on/. ) is a classic example of a 'traveling salesman' problem gone insane.
It's when the outcome isn't immediately clear that the fun begins. Being able to do what computers can't do very well (e.g. strategy) is what makes games interesting.
The Japanese have been dealing with this for a long time. In fact they have a whole phonetic alphabet for foreign words, katakana.
Everything in kanji (pictures) can be written in hiragana the "native" phonetic alphabet. There is no real problem converting that to romaji (English, ASCII etc). It is even be easier since there is no confusion caused by starting with a writing system similar to romaji.
I hear that the Chinese actually use English letters to teach how each kanji (same pictures, different meanings) are pronounced.
Upload limiting is something DC is SEVERLY lacking... many more people would leave DC connected if it didn't KILL your connection when someone started downloading from you. Lack of bandwidth management creates leechers.

"Intel Corporation has graciously given me a 3.06GHz Pentium 4 with HyperThreading Technology..."
"This wouldn't be a new release, of course, without a little something for everyone else too. As it turns out, the HyperThreaded CPU exposed non-atomic synchronization code in the playback routine, and so this version fixes random lockups during playback on any SMP or HT-capable system. (A rather neat feature of HyperThreading is that you find all the mistakes in your threading code without having a second CPU do nothing all the time other than run WinAmp.) The VTune 6.0 profiler also spotted an unaligned row buffer in the resize routine, which should execute a little faster now. I fixed a bug that made the copy construction support in the filter API unusable, and fixed the directory bug that everyone's been telling me about in the Save Image Sequence command. I'm sorry I wasn't able to squish some of the other bugs or missing features that still exist, but I wanted to get the P4 version and the above critical fixes out first."
Reminds me of when I nearly flunked calc II because they stuck computers in front of us in the classroom. We didn't have web browsers but ftp worked just fine.
I remember downloading shareware quake from cdrom.com and playing a few multiplayer...
teacher walks over "what next?" me "uhh derive it!" (always the best answer)
The funnest part was using something similar to winpopup (must have been netware or something) and typing "pay attention!" to people across the room.
The weirdest part about moving to oregon is learning that you can't pump your own gas. (yes, it is illegal to get out of your car and fill up). That and no sales tax, but you get used to it.
Although we may not be much better than apes, there is one significant difference. We can communicate, more importantly write. Without methods of recording our thoughts for future generations, we would be stuck in the dark ages.
The printing press triggered a revolution. Benjamin Franklin was around about that time, in fact much of his success was due to writing his own newspaper. Instead of quoting the bible all the time (the only book around before then) people had ideas and could share them.
In much the same way the Internet has caused information (and misinformation) to be even more readily accessible. If there is any limitation to the intelligence of humanity it is how well an individual can specialize in one practice in a lifetime. Doctors, Scientists, Engineers, Lawyers etc already spend a significant chunk of their lives learning enough to be productive.

I did some temp tech support for these before SONICblue moved to India (last week). Nice PVR, wish I bought one.
The original was good. Starcon2 was awesome. Then a bastardized game called star control 3 came out and all hope was lost. 4 was in the works but got scrapped due to rumors that it would be another wing commander.
Then there is "the ur-quan masters", currently just a port of the 3D0 version but still amazing.

"those that are despised by anime freaks in the US"
Sure, I consider digi-charat a waste of time and I can't stand pokemon/dbz/yugi-oh or just about every anime on the air in the US. But it doesnt mean we hate the kid-oriented shows!
Some of my favorites I don't consider mature-themed at all.

Everyone has their own preference, the US distributors just don't understand that.
I prefer it over the text version. Its nice to look at and goes in my taskbar, but sometimes it will prevent 3d apps (games) from runing on my box. It seems to steal the focus from the games.

Last time they turned off the S/A during the war, cheaper that way using off the shelf gps.
You can always have a radio broadcasting the offsets from a known location to compensate.

Did anyone read that as "Centrinissimo damages software."?
I know the crusoe mangles assebly a bit but...
reminds me of the quake2 64 player maps
anyone want to start up a server and play some lithium/64?
My thoughts exactly, BitTorrent would be awsome for something like this. I'm a bit lazy but how would one create a .torrent? I just donwload them.
I'd post it on usenet as well, for those who have it access to it.

I thought the parrot was a bit more entertaining ... then I tried to type.
Don't forget Firefly.
It had potential but got screwed because the pilot ep never got aired untill it was canceled.
When I first read the headline I didnt see what the big deal was about GNOME and LAME.
A command line encoder and xmms are good enough for me.

First time I opened a dell amazed me.
1)Take out the power cord
2)Pull a tab
3)Everything falls apart in a nice neat pile.
