    You are complaining about a cost of $30 (US I assume) for 4 episodes. shit man back in the day you were lucky to get 35 min of anime for $40 on VHS.

    You want to know why HK bootlegs are so cheap (entire series on a couple DVDs) is because they dont have to pay things like licensing or distro rights.

    Ameicans do not apreciate how much preogress has been made in the last 10 years. Your lucky we even have this kind of stuff comercialy available on DVD.
    How was it hard to find, you said right there you found it at the video store?

    You might be new to slashdot, but comments are not by default HTML unless you set it that way.

    Try loging in as a user and looking at the preferences.

    The post page also has a drop box that lets you select how your comment should be submitted.

    The preceding was just plaintext with some enter key pressing.

    Most full grown humans seem incapable of reason.
    I think that kids, are not "little adults" but are capable of reasoning. you just have to know the kids to know where they are developmentaly, and tailor the way things are dealt with so they via the reasoning they can do understand what you were trying to get across properly.

  8. Re:Petition ATI and nVidia. on ATi Radeon 9800 Pro · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the info.
    Oddly the bios in this alpha seems to imply it was built with Win2k in mind (it was bought as "scrap" from MS) and even had a Win2k alpha build cd in the drive still.
    I know how to change it's mode of posting (from the windows side to the ARC or whatever the other console is).
    Under win2k I actually got a 3d labs card (8 MB) to do open GL, but it wouldnt interface with DX (screen savers work with acceleration tho).
    I also picked a permedia 2 that I will be trying out.

    Grits are a corn product.
    This link should explain them better then I can. However, it is from the view of southern US cooking.
    India and other countries along the more uncomfortable tempriture regions of the world tend to serve more spicy and phisicaly hot foods. They make you sweat, and when you sweat in that climate your body can ditch some heat from the evaporation of the water.
    I usually take my hot tea with honey, but I don't usually drink black teas, I drink a lot of herbal mixtures and green teas.
    Char is Chinese for tea.

    Are there any 3d cards that have drivers that work under win2k for the Alpha?

  12. Re:Lemon and sugar on Pancake Physics to Cut Batter Splatter · · Score: 1

    In the US it's called powdered or confectioners sugar.
    I guess it depends on your ancestory and region of upbringing.

    For instance I eat my grits salty with cheese. A more Southern style then others from the north would eat, they enjoy them with syrup or sugar.

    Yet I take my iced tea unsweetened like most northeners, meanwhile southerners like Iced tea to be sweetened to the point of pain.
    Southern iced tea is like Thai iced tea but without the milk.

    I blame my mother for this.

    Is it the English or the French who put milk in hot tea? I ask because I have ancestors from both countrys and I enjoy it from time to time.
    Does that make Chai a India thing or was it a British creation using Indian tea?
