  1. I just realized why Bebop may have been cut... on Cartoon Network Dropping Gundam and Bebop? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone here see Episode 22(Cowboy Funk)? While one of the funniest eps, it also has a bountyhead that's wanted for blowing up tall buildings. And he does in fact blow up some, including a pair of towers that sort of reminds me of the WTC(except with a large sky bridge thing between them). Maybe this ep prompted this? It's sad cause it's one of my favorite eps.

  2. It's actually still listed... on Cartoon Network Dropping Gundam and Bebop? · · Score: 2, Informative

    On adultswim.com's schedule, which is here. In the past, cartoon network's whole website never even mentioned bebop due to the fact they didn't want to come in the open and show that they were showing a violent thing like Bebop, or something like that. Hopefully it wasn't cancelled.

  3. What the hell are you talking about? on Cartoon Network Dropping Gundam and Bebop? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I actually watched Bebop on CN, apparently unlike you. I also have the whole series on DVD. The ONLY 2 changes I have seen is the replacing of the word 'shit', and 'covering' the girls in porno mags(there was a porno mag in ep4). Other than that. nothing was changed so far. They even left the nasty messy headwound from episode 1 in.

    Please actually watch the series before acting like you do.

  4. And this would help how? on Congress Considers Mandatory Crypto Backdoors · · Score: 1

    "If you make crypto illegal, then only outlaws will use crypto." Wait....isn't Bin laden and other terrorists outlaws already? Damn.

  5. Unconfirmed report... on World Trade Towers and Pentagon Attacked · · Score: 3, Interesting

    An unconfirmed report from a anonymous American Airlines employee said a AA plane was involved, possibly hijacked. Why do terrorists seem to go after the World Trade Center, anyways?

  6. Do you REALLY want to rely on battle.net players? on Blizzard Announces New Warcraft MMORPG · · Score: 1

    Considering the maturity(or lack thereof), sore loserness, and utter whining a lot of people on Battle.net, I am thinking twice to even consider getting this when it's out(And knowing Blizzard's release times, most likely be another 2+ years.).

    Don't get me wrong, I like Diablo II and the expansion, I just normally play alone

  7. Re:Format? on X-Rays Of A TiBook's Interior · · Score: 1

    I'd wager GraphicConverter for OS X could handle it(since it handles like everything). Try taking out the .orig extension and drop it on GC and see what happens(I haven't tried it yet myself)

  8. Re:Some aren't that bad on Excite@Home May Have To Call It Quits · · Score: 1

    Resolution referred to the problem solved at the tier 1 level. Sometimes, though rarely, we had to do a little research and call the customer back, which was almost always within a few hours. Having a truck sent out there is not 'resolution', it's a truck roll(even if the tech was sucessful, the same goes for Tier 2)

  9. Some aren't that bad on Excite@Home May Have To Call It Quits · · Score: 1

    Actually, I used to do @home tier 1 support through AT&T Broadband in Boston(Former CableVision areas). My office actually provided rather good support, we had a 95% resolution rate(as in, the problem is solved in the office) at Tier 1(4% needed truck rolls, 1% passed to @home's tier 2). Not all of the customer service sucked, or at least I like to think the group I worked with didn't(we were all laid off, in case you were wondering, too) :-)

  10. It's kinda cute looking on New Philips eXpanium Will Use 3" CDs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But with a width of at least 3 inches, reduced battery life compared to most others(since CDs tend to be power suckers) and 3 inch CDs that are not exactly common in the US to buy, will it take off?

  11. Re:Its entirely possible on Fight Virus With Virus? · · Score: 1

    Actually...you CAN'T shoot someone for merely trespassing or breaking into your hime. Legally, they must pose a threat to you, family, etc in the house. If they pull a knife(for example) in your house, you can let them enjoy a hot lead injection though.

  13. It'll become a 'geek technology' on Who'll Be Using Ogg Vorbis Instead Of MP3? · · Score: 1

    5{are so well entrenched, I can only see Oggs becoming a 'geek' technology, used mainly by geeks, such as the ones that read Slashdot. It's too bad, because a patent free technology for music becoming mainstream and standard would be nice.

  14. My main concern.... on Cowboy Bebop on TV This Fall · · Score: 3

    is the editing that will probably be done, even in the 'adult swim' block.. For those who have not seen it, Bebop is disturbingly violent at points. Especially eps 5(Ballad of Fallen Angels),16(Black Dog Serenade) and 20(Pierrot le Fou). But as long as they can avoid editing them, and keep the voice acting intact(the Bebop dub was surprisingly good), I'll be happy

  15. Re:I swear to God this is true on Predict Worm Headlines, Win a T-shirt · · Score: 1

    Something similar sorta happened to me when netscape 4 was first released for the mac. I wanted to go to MS's page, so i just typed in 'microsoft'(since under Netscape 3, it'd point that to www.microsoft.com), and the new keywords actually brought it to http://microsoft.is.lame.org. I could never get it to do that again though....

    Don't worry about me, they are amazingly generous with their severence pay. And yes, all Tier 1 AT&T broadband @home tech support is being done through Denver(Denver has a massive call center), or will be soonish...

  19. What irony.... on Comcast Bidding To Buy AT&T's Cable-Modem Unit · · Score: 3

    I was just laid off with 120 other people from AT&T broadband's Cable Modem tech support staff in Massachusetts at the beginning of the month(the position was consolidated to Denver). And no, we did not suck, we were in fact the most effective troubleshooters in the company, with a 95% resolution rate on tier 1(4% needed a tech to visit the house, 1% went to @home's tier 2), which goes to show the best ones are the first to go;)

    I called my old supervisor and told him about this, we were laughing for a few solid minutes. He he he

  22. I'd defend them, but... on @Home Cuts Newsgroups Due to DMCA Complaints · · Score: 1

    I no longer do tier 1 tech support for them. Well, in fairness, AT&T Broadband laid me off. ANYWAYS! Look at the newsgroup they are no longer providing. I can imagine those are the larger news generating ones that waste the most bandwidth. Bandwidth=money. And beyond that, those groups are a liability. pr0n, full movies, those could get @home in trouble. So just go find your warez another way. Like IRC! :-)
