The reason for different hair colours was originally to make it easier for the audience to tell different characters apart.
(I claim my +5 informative!)
Nowadays not many anime use hair colour for this reason. Sometimes a certain hair colour is used because it associated with a certain character stereotype.
Sorry to be "me too", but I have two cakes that a friend gave me- one in 1999, one in 2000. They are little iced cakes from a bakery. One is in the shape of pikachu, and the other is a frog. They both look as good as the day I got them, despite being totally uncovered on a shelf.

Well no smelly garbage in the house, but I wouldn't come to one of your BBQs...
Sorry, I should have been more clear. Although there are multiple machines on the LAN the only user is me, and I trust myself. (I think). Of course my "security policy" would be a whole lot different if I were supporting multiple strange users on some LAN.
Slightly on-topic can anyone tell me what vulnerabilites exist if you are running a DSL router using NAT but no firewall ?
I have a small to fair amount of TCP/IP knowledge and at the moment my thinking is that you are only really vulnerable to DOS attacks.
I mean, if you aren't forwarding any ports then the only time there is a chink in your armour is when you have a temporary alias set up for a connection, which will be one port on one of the machines on your LAN. This alias won't last for long, and it will be on a port you're using for getting out, e.g. port 80,125... and you'd probably have to set your firewall up to allow this through if you ran a firewall.
Normally if a packet comes in to your sole external ip address and you haven't set up any port forwarding (or you have but it's not one of the ports you want to forward), the DSL router will just drop the packet.
Can anyone please clue me in on the vulnerabilities of using NAT alone and no firewall ?
*You* may need more speed from your drives and not see a need for more storage space but a lot of other people, myself included, are crying out for my hard drive space.
Here are some of the reasons: (NB some already mentioned)
* movies, other AVIs like anime (one series of anime is typically about 4-5 Gig). * CDs (especially take up more space in.flac format) * video editing - you can have loads of 10G + files all over the place. * scanned photo collections (hires takes a lot of space) * games - a > 2Gig install is normal these days. * ISOs for playstation emulator (These really add up) * P2P download: if you have a decent amount of things downloading you need AT LEAST 40G just for your temp directory, and another 20G for the incoming folder.
So, I hope you were in fact trolling because your comment really looks like the modern version of "640K should be more than enough for anybody" (whether the Billster said that or not).
Gregory Benford roooooolz. But because he's not dead we get all these "Charles Sheffield, man, like I really respect his work.." blah blah blah, and no "Gregory Benford roooooolz" posts (except this one).
When are we going to stop waiting until people die before we respect them ? When someone's dead, that's the time to take the piss out of them, because let's face it, they're dead, and their friends and family couldn't feel much worse anyway. When they're alive, if you like them, say so!
"And how many people ever saw ANY promotional material at all for Roger Water's "Amused to Death" when it was released"
I saw a TV ad for it, it said:
"Are you sick to death of 'that whiny bastard' from Pink Floyd? You know, the one who's so hung up on his father's death in WWII and keeps writing songs about it ? Do you sigh with relief that you can't hear the pathetic teen angst of 'The Wall' and 'The Final Cut' any more? If so, then 'Amused to death' is not for you ! But you know you'll buy it anyway just because you have vague good memories of a really good track Syd Barrett wrote in 1967!"
If you have all the letters in the same case then an apostrophe is apparently acceptable to disambiguate, but I think it's a slippery slope and you should go for "CDs".

July 23 1952 Braintree, Mass. F-94 pilot obtained radar lock-on
July 26 1952 California. Another F-94 vs. UFO where "we" got a radar lock on the UFO. UFO kept pulling away.
December 10 1952 Nr. Hanford, Wash. F-94 obtained lock-on.
December 16 1952 Goose Bay, Labrador. Again F-94 obtained lock-on.

Scarier yet is stuff like:

Given that jet fighters have in the past obtained radar locks on UFOs (and this is from the pilots themselves), but that UFOs seem to be far too fast to shoot missiles at them, we now have a weapon with which to start a SPACE WAR!

Using only trusted code in a trusted OS (FreeBSD and stuff from the FreeBSD ports tree) there is not much point in blocking outgoing ports is there ?
