You gotta admit, the opening line "present day, present time, hahahaha..." is pretty funny, and quite possibly the best part of the series!
I like the whispering speech synthetizer voice that announces the episode's name: "Layer Zero One... Weird"
(...)and liked the intro/ending song.
Great song! The group is called BOA, the song, Duvet. Look for the extended accoustic version on Nap__er, it's got great guitar works!

The Simpsons - The best American comedy on television. Also the longest running - coming up on its 12th season on the air, The Simpsons is the longest running sitcom on television, animated or not. And who can't like the really well thought out irony with real world implications?
In the words of the Comic Book Shoppe guy... The last season had the "Worst episodes ever!" ---
Now Monsanto serves ya a billion dollar lawsuit for illegally distributing their patented Farmer Fred's Famous Fine Fruit genome. The judge grants them an injunction preventing you from distributing FFFFF products. On Friday afternoon, you succeed in getting a stay of injunction.
is that despite how much better work Guiness did than Star Wars, and how much he hated it, (as many people have said) look what category the story is posted under: Star Wars Prequels!
I agree. topic=movies would be a better fit. If Harrison Ford died tomorrow, would the headline say 'Han Solo actor dies.'? I doubt it. ---

This society is more than ever geared towards savage competition - "Overclocked Darwinism" Corporations have the power of money. Government have the power of law (and money, to a lesser extent) Geeks/Nerds have the power of tech knowledge etc... This being said, each of the above uses its power to get ahead... OR LOSE THE GAME. We have no choice. We must strive or die off.
Also, let's not confuse realism with cynicism. I don't believe I have the power to change society. Therefore I choose to benefit 'my clan', THAT I have control over. I agree, this is where the problem lies; we stopped believing in the usefulness of society. ---
I called my client and asked to take a few days off from coding[...]
First and foremost SLEEP! If you can log 12h sleep a day, that's great. You're probably severly overdrawn on your 'sleep bank account' due to OT, stress etc... One you're 'back in the black', try to avoid late night parties during your off time, do some daytime stuff instead , and bask (safely, w/sunblock) in the Sun. The sunlight should fixup your vitamin A, serotonin(sp?) level and resync your biological clock. ---
everyone (including napster) keeps saying that the judge ordered napster to be shut down. this is not the case. the judge ordered them to make sure no one is trading copyrighted material, and the result is that napster is telling everyone they've been ordered to shut down. Reason being, Napster can't (won't) implement a sharing filter to remove copyrighted material. if(song.matches("[Mm]etallica")==true){song.remove ()} won't cut it... ---
After viewing your program I can truley say that it was "insanely great"! As a dedicated Mac user who must occasionally serve time on a DOS machine slogging Windows95, I especially enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about Steve Jobs. However, all the computer stuff aside, I really only have two questions: 1. Is that incredibly cool '66 T-bird convertible yours? 2. What middle name could possibly begin with the letter "X"? Thank you for producing such an outstanding program...I'll certainly read the book at my earliest convenience! Jon Holland Mesquite, Texas
RXC> Yes, the '66 T-Bird is mine. It's a rare Q-code model with the 428 cubic inch V-8. 1966 was the only year they offered a 428 in the convertible and fewer than 600 were made. Mine has every option except the 8-track. X stands for Xavier, my mother's maiden name. ---
RIAA pays lots of $$$ to lawyers Napster shuts down (Venture Cap's lose investment) Napster employees shrug, get jobs elsewhere Users shrug, DL Napigator/Gnutella/Freenet etc... MP3 sharing continues.
OK. I'll bite. That's like saying there's no creativity in designing bridges, buildings etc... My god man, Cathedrals rely on those laws and rules in order to stand up for centuries, but take away the creativity and I'd rather they fall down than to look at a functional, boring square box they'd turn into. (Moderators, don't 'troll'/'flamebait' this just yet. I want to see those hundred of replies how this suit's got it all wrong. ---
Y'know, I was about to say the same when I checked IMDB, and it says R.P. is T-1000 and Arnie is just plain 'Terminator'. So I cancelled my posting Who's right ???? ---
Doomed to fail: I suspect they're actually training a neural network to do image recognition:
Imagine they 'perfect' their AI recognition. This picture of the Washington DC Obelisk, surrounded by two trees resembles of male organs - BZZT censored. This closeup shot of a ripe peach reminds one of a female pubes - BZZT censored. This two-scoop strawberry ice cream cone with two red smarties on top -- well you get the picture...
The 'copy protections' on DVDs are all optional: CSS is optional, choice of the manufacturer Region coding is also left at the discretion of the manufacturer of the media Macrovision is optional AND requires per-copy license fees
Therefore, rather than boycotting, write to AnimEIGO demanding no region code, CSS, no MV. ---

I've been insatiably curious about that since the first article of yours that I read.
