Having been watching the trend in all things related to Privacy on computers I have noticed many things suddenly getting outlawed... Before anyone goes thinking another pariniod is posting. I want to point out the fact it is becomeing more common about good techs fired because of thier bosses reading something that is in thier email. Most of the time being unpopular opinion against said boss or company. This level of invasion of privacy we have come to expect. In my honest opion this is a sad state of affairs. Now it has gotten worse the only protection to keep yourself protected (Correct me if I am wrong but was not anonymy recently stepped on) is crypto. So now the control of information is in the big business and big brothers hands. This means they have to stomp crypto which was the only thing that was protected last time around. The best way to stomp on it is to make it Illeagle for the common Joe to have and or use. After all if your suspected of computer crime even if your innocent there are no protections from having the poilice or (insert your favorite three letter group here) confiscate you computer and all electonical media you have. Rumor has it in England you have to surrender you crypto keys in such an event. And this is also happening somewhat in the US. It seems to me when it comes to computers your constusional rights no longer apply. From not having your unpopular speach protected to having crypto means you must be a crook thus no protection from self incrimnation. Sheesh makes me wonder why I even bothered to spend 6 years to protect the land of the free when freedom no longer truly exists...

I know I know "Bad LICH back to your Floor Boards"
Note this is my personal opions on cartoons and anime if you are offended, I apoloigse for stepping on your toes, but being able to say this stuff is what I wasted six years of my life in the navy for.
For Once I am glad that CN is getting its head out of the toilet humor department. sure the vintage cartoons like:
Scooby Doo --The Cartoon that makes you wonder who is behind the bad guy mask, who is really doing who, and what is really in those scobby snacks.
Johnny Quest -Where did they go today and why did they bother to redo the whole dang thing, and will Johnny ever grow up I mean he was a kid when I was young. Oh to have all that fun and neat toys and stay young forever.
GI Joe --When it was good thing to be in the military, when national pride ment going out and spending your money of a 2 inch tall hunk was paramount Feh they never showed the Down side and real way the military is that was all glamor boy junk, don't get me started on how horrid the benifits of service really are. Bad food and Underpaid just short of welfare and we have to like it about sums it up.
Transformers--(Sigh) a sad marketing campaign for the toys but it had its moments in an almost anime sort of way.
He-Man --See tranformers and add in flames from NOW about it be chovenistic when really it did not really care about that issue after all it was there to sell the toy.
Hanna Barbera-Where oh where did these good toons go oh where oh were can they be well cartoon network is picking alot of them up thank
you Uncle Ted for holding on to these for us.
Tom and Jerry-Senceless violence that a whole nation enjoyed without crying out that it will corrupt our young impressionable minds, why oh why
cant we have more of this. Every one well almost everyone can remember laughing at T&J some time in their life. Dangit T&J 2004 all the way.
Popeye --Is he Navy is Coasty it dont matter he helped get us though WWII then went downhill with no benifits go figure.
Looney Toons--For the CAD in us all looney toons was not ment for kids when it came out but then now no one seems to notice the very adult themes in this one any more and the next generation of them have been sanitized for our young "tiny toons" anyone.
are worthy of being on the CN they also had a flood of crud toons that IMHO are not worth the time like:
Cow and Chicken--Ugh ok this if a few cow chips and chicken specks short of a manure pile nuf said, personaly I would rather subject my kids to Elmo all day long instead of this junk.
Johney Brovo -- Another Junk toon except this one lets see the world stupidest egomaniac get turned down every episiode.
I am Weasle -- Not really that funny borderline stupid.
Power puff girls -- Gack, cough, hack, sputter.
after all if we wanted braindead we toilet cartoons we could find old stand bys like
Ren an Stempy -- The ultimate in groos toon thank the slime factory at MTV for this one, which they pawned off on NICK who Pawned it off somewhere else.
Bevis and Butthead-"Hehehe, hey Bevis we made the list thats Kewl""Shut-up Butmunch he only put us here for toilet humor" "hehehe you said toilet" "hehehe yes I guess I did hehehe I AM THE GREAT CORNHOLIO"
So the introduction of Amime is a good thing, but IMHO they should go fro some the better quality stuff not.
Dragon Ball Z--When will the hurting stop mommy, they are showing us the butchered version make them stop. (spent time stationed in japan and saw the real thing we are sucking bad in copairision. but then we got ripped on every good thing that got sent out of there just look at final fantasy and dragon warior.)
Speed Racer -- Would be great it it had more veriety and did not seem so dated. can't compain too loudly about the artwork because that was what had made speed racer what it was.
Pokeeman -- OK the oringal japanize version of this (pocket monsters) one will give you fits the American version again is doped down.
If they need stuff theat will fly just under the sensors they should go with,
Socerer Hunters (aka Spell wars)-- magic is bad so lets have a which hunt using people with magic.
Those who hunt Elves --Good storyline bad implemetation but then that is the sanitized ADV version for you.
Record of the Lotus wars -- Maybee just a little too deep for our current dumbed down america.
Heroic ledgend Arslan-- see lotus wars.
and for primetime movies
Vampire hunter D--A classic if I ever saw one, wish it was still in production.
Battle Angel--Another Classic must see if you think all Anime is bad this one might change your mind.
Neon Genisis--I never realized the full potental of this one intil I watched 0:1 thru 0:13 the first time.
Super Antrinon- Call me a kook but I would say this one seems almost pre second impact. Almost sets up Neon Genisis Nicley.
Ghost in the shell-- Nother Deep classic if you aint seen it you dont know what your missing.
finally for midnight showings when parents have most control over their children.
Hevey metal (original)-- American adult comics at their best biger louder nastier than any others god bless the USA.
Urrokidoji (sp)-- Ok scrach this. This is so close to henti it will never get on Amererican airwaves.
Curse of Yoma- Another Deep one.. if you dont have an open mind dont bother with it. It will go over your head.
Akira - YEAH ULTRA-VIOLENCE that would make Alex from clockwork orange either Cream himself or Dang near Snuff it.
Most the others that would be deemed too violent or have content that pushes the boarder line.
Well enough ranting, I know "BAD LICH back to your Floorboards and stay"
Ok so the Ideal of Releasing multiple copies of the same software for multiple machines (OS's) has cropped up a smaked this Lurker in the Face. Problem with this is at one time we did have this very situation (who remembers when Lemmings first came out). There was a time you had the problems of buying a game off the shelf and if you were not looking you bought the Mac version of the Amiga Game you wanted or worse bought the X86 DoS (Yes I know the Diffrence between DOS and DoS and I mean DoS 2.0 Fjnord) version. You see marketers very rarley place all copies of their software in the same box, oh occationaly you would find the DoS/Mac in the same box, or you would find the Amiga/Mac combo but rare was the DoS/Amiga combo. Now occtionaly you had shopkeeps that were smart enough to seperated the SYStems specks but that got rarer and rarer as companies stopped supporting the other platforms. It was not the stocks that truly kill the Amiga, it was the comapinies that made the software for the systems decideing that they were not going to support this system or that one in favor for this PoS. (good example see Square with how they shifted from NES to PSX to WINXX). In a Utopian society then all systems would recive equil support from software makers but then the good hardware would win out and we would not have had the Pleasure of Upgrading this or that every week just to keep up with the Smith's or Jones's. Oh well this crusty Lich is starting to rant so time to get Back OT, Yes good Ideal to have Software companies support all systems/OSes but in our world things dont work like that. Foo pays Bar off so they make things for only Foo and maybe Baz. And Garply just gets forgotten by everyone except the hand full of Loyal Garply supporters, even though Garply by far had a better product at the time then Foo or Baz. That unfortunatly was what really Started the Death of The Amiga, the Stock option was the Straw for the Camels Back, but Foo and Baz paying off Bar was what caused the problem in the first place.
Oh Well Back to the FloorBoards for Now
