Anime Fansub groups in North America, while not being officially condoned for what they do, are uncontested by Japanese Anime studios to release fansubs until they are licensed for North American distribution. The same can also be said with respect to European groups.
The plus of this, which can be seen already, is the increase of popularity of Anime in the US and elsewhere outside of Japan. Furthermore, more people with a greater interest in Anime-thanks to fansubs-are much more likely to buy the series or movie once distribution begins in their country.
Ok, why the heck does this post get the mod of "insightful"? It has nothing to do with the topic, nor does it answer the guy's question. He's asking for WINDOWS backup/restore, not what OS he should convert to. Totally off topic!
For something on a somewhat related note, a good read is Ruled Brittania by Harry Turtledove.
It's about how Britain would have been IF the Spanish Armada would have been able to get past the British fleet and all those pesky fireboats. After the Spanish defeats the weaker British army, a puppet govt is set up by the children of Phillip I, and the English Inquisition is conducted by the once banished Catholic Bishop of Canterbury.
A really good read for those interested in what could have been.
Visual Studio .Net alternative - SharpDevelop

Does C# Measure Up?

I'm assuming you're asking for an IDE alternative to Visual Studio.Net. Take a look at SharpDevelop. According to its authors, it's open source under the GPL. I've given it a try on my old P2 300, and it's not bad at all IMO. It takes a little longer to load, but it has solid functionality and tons of features on an interface that looks very familiar to that of Visual Studio.Net
Hydrogen doesn't grow on trees you know. Why when I see these articles, I never see any comments as to what the source of hydrogen would be. Some power source needs to be provided in order to extract pure hydrogen. So what is the source?
Do consider going in a winnebago or some sort of RV. Since the post world war II era, the RV is considered to be the true way to experience the US.
Don't go to any stupid theme park you never heard of.
Do go to Disneyworld AND Six Flags Magic Mountain. Disneyworld says it all, and Magic Mountain is the largest coaster park now in the world and still growing!
...that these movie producers have to rely on consulting firms to come up with these ideas. I guess that also may be why books tend to be a bit more original with terms, gadgets, and robots.
It's amazing no one here mentioned the good ol' B52. Sure, it was designed and put into production technically when Truman was still in office, but it was quite refined into the workhorse we know today during the Ike era. The most amazing thing is that there was so much energy put into it such that it's still in service today and will continue to be until around 2040!!!!
I mean this plane in the main form has been in service since the early cold war, and the USAF plans to keep the plane in service until 2030....though i've heard recently it may go until 2040.
This battery, as well as many other things were found in locations that were known to be occupied by shamen/medicine men of the time. It is believed they used these very small currents to reduce some of the muscular pain of their patients, much as doctors would use it today on athletes and such.
This goes on to my point. A lot of these technologies did exist, but until civilization got to the right state of mind as to how to use it (i.e., Renaissance, Scientific/Industrial Revolution), these "hi-tech" items were nothing more than knick-knacks.

the numbers that are stolen by those food servers end up at the same place. The practice of waiters and waitresses using a mini-scanner to read off cards is called "skimming". I've seen a few news articles and a waiter would not have the technical skill in order to:
1) design and build the skimmer himself
2) even if you say he got it off the "black market", he still needs to get some device to read the skimmer's register info. 3) waiters are usually the mere pawns of a larger operation. Take a little from each card # and you can buy somre pretty nifty things. In fact, most of the time the numbers end up in some far off place, such as hong kong.
Maybe Chris Carter should have done this instead

I have to agree that whatever Stevie tacks his name on now usually ends up sucking long schlong. However, as was mentioned in another post, this was mostly due to the large orgy of directors (wasn't there one unique director per episode?). My personal fave was the one directed by the guy who did Poltergeist (forgot the ep
To make it simpler, I'll refer to the separate stories as the Crawford, Clarke, and Keys stories.
So what were the pros of this series? Well, it looked like they really thought it out with the first five episodes. Everything up to the moment when Owen Crawford dies is pretty darn good. The other thing too is that these writers should have known just by putting a mini-series on sci-fi, this was going to be viewed primarily by sci-fi junkies and geeks. I think this was sorta kept in mind during the first five episodes, but then it went to shit. Oh yeah, kudos to Matt Frewer in his performance..by far the best in the whole mini-series.
The Craford Story The tech and such was pretty well thought out, but then if you talk to some aerospace buffs, you'll find out that LMartin wasn't really doing much aerospace in the mid 50s. Not to mention, all flying wing research was scrapped immediately after Edwards' crash in the late 40s. They also seemed to be right on the money by using a thinktank of primarily physicists and engineers to try to figure out what as going on in the 50s. However, there were like no thinktank groups at all that were being used after 57 or so, which makes me really wonder how much these writers know about how the military would approach such a problem. I do applaud, however, the way the writers incorporated such events as the crashing of a UFO into a weather balloon near Roswell, NM.
Keys Story So this part of the story had a lot of potential, but was ruined by mid story. I won't waste a lot of words on this, but how could a guy like the Keys grandson suddenly turn his opinion around about "our friends" (aliens, as was referred to by Clark and associates) in light of how those abductions ruined the lives of his father and grandfather? The story was rich when telling about the lives of Jesse and his father facing with the traumas of abduction. Then again, I guess meeting with the Clarke chick just made him forget all about all those years of suffering.
Clarke
This story was gay from day one. Alien man makes love to texan woman. How hick can ya get? Half-breed son has a love for hot dogs and and baseball. Granddaughter likes pink hair and drumming. Great-granddaughter can make everyone see flying saucers with the power of her mind.
Overall, this story could have been better, but the line the Crawford daughter said explained it all....

This good use of censorship is being practiced in the same country whose government banned the papers from outright saying the price raped a man!

I totally agree with you!
Don't backpack America....this isn't europe!
