I originally mis-read your message as saying "whiskey/Beer/Snake" and - since you were talking about Japanese vending machines -- thought nothing of it.
And I just finished training all my users to NOT click OK on boxes that pop-up when using the web. Now you're saying I have to train them to make educated decisions to accept or decline boxes?
The monkey trainers at the circus will have an easier time...
In the article, it shows that some libraries are resisting as much as possible. I believe the ALA has a section on their website to keep librarians aware of their rights.
The real question is why libraries need to keep track of the books you have checked out after they have been returned? Most places are past the point where you sign the little card in the back of the book, so I don't see why libraries couldn't just delete the info after the book has been returned.
We at Cablevision like to shit all over our customers, and then call it an "accident."
I would imagine they will keep trying these sorts of things until people get used to it and stop complaining... like paying for access to newspaper web sites.
I have suddenly changed my opinion on human euthanasia.
it would be nicely ironic if one of them got cancer right after the movie (which will suck) and ended kicking themselves for wasting such a large block of their life.
From what I understand, Mirmax/Disney has a deal to release 5 Miyazaki movies in the US. They've already released "Kiki's Delivery Service" straight to video. I believe that the success of Mononoke Hime will determine which other movies (Nausicaa, Laputa) will be released and how.
I believe the Video rights are held by buena vista entertainment (they are in japan anyway) and there is no official word on a subtitled release at this time:( I know there are a few fansubs floating around, and that the Ohio State Anime club has a great sub.
The CD for this movie rocks as well, just try to get the Japanese release, since they changed the theme song to English and it's just not nearly as good.
And, as I am a total fanatic for this movie, I also bought "Princess Mononoke: The Art and Making of Japan's Most Popular Film of All Time." Just got it from Amazon... pretty pictures.
The violence, its creators claim, is merely a role-playing depiction of "spiritual warfare," the notion that non-physical agents of good and evil (which might well include TV, movies, the Net, animation and recorded music) are constantly at war and that their behavior affects people on earth. I can't figure out of this is supposed to be a joke or not. It does amuse me that organized religion has been sanctioning violence for thousands of years, when it's "for a good cause." This strikes me as something the Flanders kids would play if they weren't scared of the gibbage:) Look for the sequel to this game, where you and your yahoo buddies get rid of those pesky Muslims and Jews. I hope God also told them to include TCP/IP support:)

And I would say they are right. It is a site directed at adults who may or may not be interested in buying toys for kids.
does this mean it is OK to steal "Family Circus"?

This is fairly old news. Similar stories were on Drudge Report back in June.
