The United States Supreme Court said we could for "time-shifting" purposes. That is, I can tape anything on TV so that I can watch what I want, _when_ I want to watch it, and not when some network exec decides is the right time for me to.
Media companies can't take this away from us legally, so they are attempting to make it impossible technologically.
And with the DMCA, if we attempt to take back our rights as set forth by the USSC, we can be prosecuted for it.
Boom, it won't be illegal to tape shows, but it will be illegal to tape shows using every piece of consumer electronics on the market
Watch the first 6 or so episodes and skip to about episode 24. Watch through around 64, and ignore the rest.
Trust me, it's worth it.
The movie is crap, the OVAs are decent, but the Kyoto arc in the TV series is just so amazingly kick-ass. Everything before is okay, everything afterwards is crap.

Nice doublethink there, eh?
The name of the anime is Rurouni Kenshin.
It gets a *lot* better.

There are only 25 episodes.
Yes, that's right. That is the end of the series. Gotta love those happy endings.
The manga is still running in Japan. I think it's up to 20 or 21 volumes at this point, but I don't think they're planning on animating more of it.
There's also a so-so Dreamcast game that's been released in the US as "Sword of the Berserk."
Check out Black Sun Over Midland for more info.
Script? Director? This is just EIDOS' new booth-babe for e3 and the gaming rags, not the actress for the movie. Pay attention.
We all know that the bestest AMD vs Intel review is JeffK's.
There's a commercial release of it in the US. Check a few online video retailers. I know amazon.com has it, if you're not boycotting them.
true, but it's gotta be better than the slow-as-hell-and-you-can't-change-video-modes FBDev server that I'm stuck with now.
from the release notes:
>o Add GeForce/Quadro support to the NVIDIA driver.
