You can use metalic ink and resistant ink in tapes. eg. Alps MD-5000 printer.
Then you print the R-G-B and there you go a full motion. This is also old in terms of news, BBC carried it months ago and said it would be full motion so... BBC beat Fox any day of the week.
I had fun with mine. First I smashed it with a hammer, then I user the two little red LED's to make eyes for my Handspring. ITS ALIVE! I put some watch batteries in the empty springboard slot holder.
The second one got turned into a pen holder. Empty guts fill with hot glue and bolt it back together with a pen in it. It's cute and comfortable and you don't really want to chew an eraser that sticks out of a cat's ass.
If you use Be0S you can hack em to read any barcode and download barcode fonts, send barcodes to you friends, pay less at the store!
Its an epic you twit. It follows rules within the english language. Read Beowolf, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and some of the other classics of English Lit. All flat as a friken pancake. You might see what genre he was working from and understand what he created. Also don't forget that all of this was made up to explain the nuances of a created language. All of the books are just to explaine why its pronouced this way instead of that way. That and to shut his kids up.
Give me a fawk'n break. At 15 w/ no programing skills and a smart neighbor I was able to dual boot OS/2 and Win95. But maybe I have "balls" (pardon my lack on spanglish.)
Oh and "oh my god M$ are bastards? What a concept!"
"Ohhh BeOS I'll miss you." (just replace BeOS with Yamagata and think Akira)
I thought I read in Wired Magazine that you could use high-energy gamma radiation to speed up the time to break nuclear waste down. The by-products being whatever the 60/40 split creates and some heat. Apparently, this solution has been staring us straight in the face for a long time and no one put 1 & 1 together.
I could be wrong I have not been able to find the article again but it seems like it should work a lot better than trying to store it. People just don't function with a long view. Look at the drivel that so called nerds have posted on this subject.
Here is one link I found on the tech.

The other solution is clearly the space elevator. If the danger in sending the stuff to the sun is catastrophic launch failure (Cassini Space probe fears) then we just have to get our ducks in a row and build the space elevator.
We just shouldn't have kids yet. All in all humanity is like a white trash family that doesn't take care of its kids. Sure there is that one smart cousin but everyone just tells him to shut up becuse they hate knowing they are dumb.
Is that really the world we need to bring up some life form that in 18 months will be twice as smart as us? Come on. Either its going to just ignore us cause we so fucking boring and hateful or is going to rule us like some fat banker living out his sexual fantasies by letting some 16 year old home-less kid whip him.
Gilgalad was an Elven King,
Oh him the trailers will not sing,
A movie who's face is fair and free
Of the darkness, that Melkor be.
The cast is clean and small of frame,
But hobbits eyes reveal no pain
That comes from burdens light and gold
Who ancient curse will not be told.
The voice of the tag-line is cliche
And rings not of the eldar day
On to middle earth you think we go
But hollywood is from below.
Where tolken dweleth none can say
For long ago he went away
And into darkness fell his star
In the land of movies where Modor are.
I am a creative person not a critic. I hate criticism, it isn't an art. That said some things suck so badly that they need a beating.
An Akira game will be one of them. Like Gundam and DBZ.
About Tolken
Um... I was commenting on the trailer, which is out and it looks like Terry Brooks cover art. This is a bad thing in my opinion for a number of reasons.
The first and most important is that making a movie in the style of cover art from books that are pale impressions of the original is insulting.
The second is the difference in the quality of the light. Have you ever read the Father Christmas letters or the Sim.? Have you ever looked at Tolken's script? It isn't a soft cheese cloth with ruddy faced youths striding along. His hand is shaky and dark. Its like veins in the body of the earth. It is infused with something ancient and Celtic and dark, something the "LOOK" of the trailer lacks. I know not of the body of the movie but the face they presented is not the face of Tolken.
Don't get me wrong it looks like a better movie than most but it looks like the best of the lowest common denominator. Like a high end Sony integrated amp/tuner when you are used to listening to a Golden Tube amp running on a VPI turntable.
Either way...
Tolken isn't water colors or clay its India ink with a quill.
Also...
Nitpicking is Tolken's work because his notes represent more effort of will and imagination than any fully realized book before or since. He made up all this shit to explain the subtleties of a language he made up. He is a linguist and a celtic linguistic hacker, tiny detail is the whole world, full stop.
Or the Walker-Bush family from selling war bonds for the Nazi party and helping to run the Hanover Line. Oops. And you thought they made their money from Oil.
The real problem is that (rightly so) none of the people here have any good ideas about how to go about creating a "game" of Akira.
Since its Japanese and they WILL make it for the Japanese market I am guessing FF style RPG. That's the only way to get in all the characters and plot twists in, but I think it will just grind off all the edge. That and make you spend 15 hrs. linking your #13 powers to the avatar to gain 5 points on your path to finial redemption. (insert poorly made mouth-fart noise here)
I think cel shading would suck. Jet grind just ain't Akira. Hell Quake III ain't Akira, hell there has never been a game that even comes close to any single sub-aspect of the movie, let alone the comic. Its all just sad pathetic drivel.
If you are going to put it on the line, and say with a straight face that you think you are man or woman enough to make a game of Akira well then it had better be two steps beyond bleeding edge.
I can really imagine running around a bunch of ramps with dirt texture to platforms with metal texture to bla bla bla.
What ever. You all suck. The game industry sucks. No one even has the right to clean Otomo Katsuhiro's boots. Like any ameriKan who isn't on lots of meth is going to take the time to draw ever last fricken circuit and pebble and oil spot and rip and tear. This is going to suck worse and physically hurt me more then the last attempt at making a Dune movie.
A) None of you have said anything worth reading about this.
B) No one working in the game industry has the balls to make this game.
1. It should have a find the artery sub-game for Tetsuo's little stint with the clowns when he was shotting 1000ml of pure Heroin and shotting bowling balls at people.
2. You shoud be able to pop peoples' heads like when Yamato took on Tetsuo; Clubing people's heads off from the back of a bike. shooting half a person's face off and let them slide into raw sewage. The list goes on and on and none of it will be in the game. Did I forget tits. Lots of tits. Rape murder and all the things that make Neo-Tokyo rotten.
C) No one in the game indutry has the time to make this game.
1. Needs to be the best motor cycle game ever.
2. Needs to be the best super power game ever.
a. OH GOD NOT ANOTHER DBZ!
b. I want to be able to take down buildings.
c. I want to stop tank shells.
3. Needs graphics the likes of which god has never seen.
a. NOT CELL SHADING!
4. Shenmue x10 as far as things to do.
5. More political then any game before.
6. Better than Descent with the hover bike.
7. Sound track? Yeah right.
8. FMV? don't make me puke.
9. THEY DRAW PEOPLE OUT OF FOCUS IN THE MOVIE! YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT KIND OF ATTENTION?!
Basically anything that makes this Movie cool is going to be removed by some guy who hasn't a friken clue.
Look at the Lord of the Rings movie! The trailer makes the whole movie look like it was filmed in Terry Brooks cover-art'o-vision.
Please for the love of GOD stop trying to make great things shitty. Go away. Die.
Slashdot Mirror
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrggggg!!!
Why didn't I buy the twin sticks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the love of god where is the aftermarket!
If you're not trying to be insulting then why are you an "Anonymous Coward?"
I would come back to the MAC side.
I want a 2Ghz PowerPC G5 Apple Macintosh in some inhuman o Gee modled glow in the dark organic case.
Hey if all you use is Adobe and Q3 why windows?
Have to get a Game Cube for the 5 start Star Wars.

Get you airport station and your DSL together and "say no to telcos"

You sound like you know what you're talking about.
.... Gil-Galad"
IMDB says that "Mark Ferguson (I)
Gil-Galad was an eleven king
of him the harpers sadly sing...
...but long ago he went away
and where he dweleth none can say
for into darkness fell his star
in the land of mordor where the shadows are.
Flash back?

No.
1) Hobbit.
2) The Lord of the Rings.
3) The Simarillion (published after his death by Guy Gavrel Kay and Christopher Tolken)
4) The Unfinished Tales (20 volumes??) make up what the Sim was edited down from.

For someone who names himself after the hero of the first epic English poem you sure are lacking in respect for poetry.
What did you see the movie of Beowulf and think it was a Highlander sequel?
"I'm not illiterate, I know who both my parents are."
