So can a 386 chip. Hell, if we can send someone on the moon with the processing power of a calculator, they can sure send a missile to the USA just by using a calculator processing chip.
Huh? The Chinese government already have high speed computers. Don't fool yourself by thinking otherwise. How hard is it to ship the latest computer hardware to China in the first place? I can tell you not hard at all. Hell, their internet cafe have latest Intel Pentium 4 processor.
This is the system that is currently use in the UK. What it does is take your picture and store it on a database forever. It does not matter if you are guilty or not, your picture will be in a database for everyone to use. Not only that it will keep track of you wherever you go at all time and store it on a database. This is a threat to our democracy where the government do not trust it citizens. Where the government control track and tag us like animals. Read 1984 if you haven't yet.
Stealth Aircraft has show it can be seen by normal radar all the way back in the Iraqi Gulf War. The problem is shooting them down. Yes it's very hard to detect them but not impossible by normal radar. In the case of Stealth aircraft stealth does not mean it is invisible it only means that it is hard to detect. Ever wonder why they don't send the 2 billion dollars B-2 bomber into enemy airspace? Because the air force are afraid of it getting shoot down.
You know why Japan have high prices? They don't know how to complete in their own market and that's why they are still in a recession. Instead of lowering prices in a recession they raise it.
I wonder how much money Sony and other DVD player manufactures are losing because
their players are not multi regional. Most DVD players that are sold in Europe
are multi regional players and is made in Korea or Taiwan and not Japan. How
long will they hold out before these manufactures that plays by the rule start
breaking it.
The FBI is probably the most dangerous government agency in the USA, the number one threat to democracy. Again and again they have disregard the law, from burning children to shooting people in the back. What we are current seeing is an push to extend it boundaries of its power whenever they have the chance. No government agency should have this kind of power.
Try the Federal Trade Commission at http://www.ftc.gov/. They can give you a hand if enough people complain about it.
You can do a class action suit. The lawyers tend to be free if the money of the suit is high.
After the floating point error and the UID mess, I have stay away from Intel. I have no faith in their product anymore. Athalon is where the action is and the price is right.
Anime DVDs and VHS is really not worth the current price. In most industries
these prices are consider rip off. What do you get with USA Anime DVDs? Not
much. What you get are Sub standard DVD video quality (they compressed the hell
out of the video), no or little extras, DVD disks that only plays on one DVD
player and not the other, sub audio quality, bad script translation, bad voice
acting, overlays (all overlays are consider bad, ie edit), anime companies that
never listen to their customers, bad packaging, bad customer support, missing
episode on DVD disk, and the worst thing is that they never fix the problems
even if they knew it existed. The list just keep on going.
Here is one current example: Captain Tylor box set was shipped with one
missing episode on disk four. If they had any quality control at all they would
have notice it right away. The bad thing about it is that some people got their shipment
early and told the company about it. Do
you know what they did? Instead of recalling the DVDs and stop the shipping of
the current bad DVDs in their inventory they decide to just ship it. The only
way you can get the fixed disk 4 is to mail in your receipt and pay $4 for
shipping. Let said kid Joe Doe bought it, the first thing he will do is to throw
away or misplace the receipt like most people do when he notice the first disk
was working right only later on to find out that disk 4 had a missing episode.
This is so mess up that the only an anime company can get away with this kind of
stuff.
USA anime company are so cheap that it just want made me want to cry. They
overprice their product while giving sub standard quality work. They are only
getting away with this because you have stupid 15 years kids that never work in
their life defending those sorry companies. I take my Fansubs anytime.
If I have to choose between ICANN and NSI, 10 out of 10 time I go with ICANN. I have more then once got scewed on domain names by NSI customer service in the old days.
Why do you need a purpose? The "purposes" you list for other
discoveries seem like they were concocted after the fact to justify it for
people who prefer to believe in a supreme being guiding the Universe.
If you really need a purpose, here's one: to provide us with a challenge. If the
Universe continues to expand indefinitely, there will be a time when the average
density of the Universe is low enough that the formation of news stars becomes
unlikely, and the fuel for those stars will begin to be burned up. Survival of
the human race will be almost impossible in those conditions. The fight to
survive will be the last remaining challenge for a race that will have had more
than enough time to uncover a set of physical laws that describe the Universe.
We'll need something to do.
By the time this happen the human race will be long dead. We're not talking
about thousands of years or million of years. If your theory every happen it
will be hundred of billions of years from now and I honestly don't think the
human race will last that long. Anyway, life will always exists in places that
it can and in places that it cannot. Life can exist anywhere and everywhere all
we need to do is look harder. I would not be surprise if one day someone find
out that micros live inside a black hole in a form we haven't seen yet. The
purpose of life is to exist and its not that hard to do. Maybe I should finish
my Theory of Life and Evolution paper and have it copyrighter and printed.
This should not come as a big surprise. Most foreign government suspected
this for a long time. Foreign intelligent agencies do not use Microsoft product
for security concerns. Microsoft product runs on most PC, naturally the NSA will
want to get a hand in its development. Its beats trying to hack into foreign
government computers. It save a lot of time and money. Now the question is what
Microsoft getting out of this from the NSA? Microsoft is not giving it out for
free, we all knows.
On the issue of OS. Germany intelligent agencies has there own OS as
well as the Russian, etc. They are smarter then that to trust Microsoft or other
foreign companies. The problem is that most intelligent agencies do not and will
not share there technology unless they force to as we have seen with GPS.
I also think that all major companies foreign or not should be worry about
this. If Microsoft have a back door key, vital information can be stolen by
Microsoft and will be use against them or worst patent it. Even if Microsoft
don't have a back door key in place, it's still very unsecured and I personally
do not recommend it to my clients if security is there number one concern.
Everyone hate overlay. I just bad. I don't think a single anime fan like overlays. USA anime company like ADV is just too cheap to use DVD-9 (12 cm, SS/DL: 7.95 gig (8.54 BB), about 4 hours) DVDs. Instead they use DVD-5 (12 cm, SS/SL: 4.37 gig (4.70 BB) of data, over 2 hours of video) and compress the hell out of the video. We all know what happen if video is compress the hell out off.

FAQ: http://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html
Well it depend on which version you go by. If I remember it right the
Robotech version, protoculture is fuel for the Mecha. It is also food for the
Invid. That is why the Invid invaded Earth, because protoculture is very
limited. Protoculture seems to thrive on Earth.
On the Macross version, protoculture is just that pro-culture. The aliens
don't have a culture of their own. They have been fighting each other for so
long that they don't have a culture, ie no sex, no songs, nothing just fighting
each for god knows how long. That is why the aliens where so scare of Minmei
singing, they almost had a heart attack.
Yep ADV is not a good anime company for the reason you just mention. They
really produce bad DVDs. Eva the best anime of the '90s and they have to just
screw it up. Kenshin to Samurai X was bad. Samurai X has one of the worst dub.
Thank God they didn't get Love Hina.

You know what? It probably cost less then 50 cent to produce a DVD9 disk.

What part of the License do you not understand?
What happen to it? It got slash dotted?
They have money. When they are force to sell their access they will have money.
Try the Federal Trade Commission at http://www.ftc.gov/. They can give you a hand if enough people complain about it. You can do a class action suit. The lawyers tend to be free if the money of the suit is high.
If they can't complete then they should die. That how things works.
Yeah the UID mess was what got me into AMD. Since then I only recommend AMD products.
After the floating point error and the UID mess, I have stay away from Intel. I have no faith in their product anymore. Athalon is where the action is and the price is right.
ADV is not releasing them is Manga Entertainment because Gainax and ADV have bad blood between them. ADV IMHO will never get another Gainax's show.
