    The show is quite terrible. But the movie is very good, you should give it a try. With the exception of one song I don't like, you know what I mean.

    At least what Taiwan does/did is slower than Russia. You will be surprise to know that they don't have much political freedom just at the middle of 80's. IMO, Taiwan politician gave up a lot of power to Mafia over the year in order to tranform to a democratic system. However, the prosperity is/was smoothly remain intact.

    In fact, if you read his speeches, you can see that
    yes, he is all in favor of economic reform, but he wants nothing to do whatsoever with
    China becoming more democratic.


    If he doesn't believe in any kind of democratic, he won't steped down himself while his brain still had the conscious. Yes he was part of the "elders" who made the decision to kick down the succesor (whose name I can't remember at this moment) after Tiananmen.

    You see in my experience. Chinese don't want drastic change. Moving from the current system to a pure democratic system at the expense of economic collapse is unrealistic. Whenever we realize the important of the balance of power, we will look at Russia and know we want no part of that.

    I can't see the old Netscape user switch either. The thing about IE5 is that the feature I want in NN4.7 doesn't exist in IE5 either.

    1) Short cut image-load on/off (NN3.04 has, I still use it unless I go to some Malicious Netscape3 crashing yankess.com and what has you.)

    2) IE does hugh page move left/move right terribly. Yeah I know *sometimes* only IE5 can read /.'s unfinish page. OTOH, the page /. gives me sometimes wider than my 800 px screen. In this situation Netscape is much faster than IE5.

    3) IE5 abandon the old good url auto-complete scheme with a evil one. Ironically, netscape adopt this great tradition from IE4 and it's much better. Netscape (IE4) only auto-fill the most recent/frequent used url, which is much more accurate than the drop down list IE5 gives me. You have no idea how slow that is (233 libretto)

    4) If I enter a word in url bar that IE doesn't "understand", it will open a fscking left penal to show the search result. It's a pain in the ass to X it. Now this is pretty significant. Once the two browser decides to go different roads and emphasis user habby instaed of subtle speed difference, the users are encorage to stick with their current browser that they are familiar with.

  12. Re:Who would really pirate movies? on Post-Hacked DVD: Where to Go? · · Score: 1

    I live in NYC. Really the pivate is not as serious as you think. That's because they are shaky cam version from the comsumer camcorder. And it's impossible to find the same pirave seller in the same spot second time around because of the cops. That's means you can never buy the specific movie you want when you want. That's why they mostly operate in Manhatten get the money and run.

    However, the most serious pirate is video rental store pirate. Some small movies are released in a very high price, usually at 98 dollars. (I don't know, like some forgeign title "when cats away" "firework" etc. People won't even rend "pro" pivated tapes because the quality is not stable. You guys should realize price is never the priority when it come to stuff like books or movies. A clean and nice envirnment probably is more important.

  16. Disney probably will "embraced ext..." it on Movie Review: Princess Mononoke · · Score: 1

    For your information. You probably won't be able to see it. Princess Mononoke will only received limited release Friday in merely 4 theaters (NY LA Boston Chicago one for each) And Miramax will make decision on how to open it "wilder" in next few weeks.

    It's not in Miramax, a Disney subsidiary's best interest to open poeple's eyes on what an ture talent can do to the animation format. As you all know, there is only one movie genre is under monopoly control of one Studio--the animation market. Despite limited success of Fox's freshman effort, Anastasia, the best animation from non-Disney studios in the last few year, Iron Giant has received a pretty bad B.O.

    Lucky for all of you, Miyazaki's contract has stretch that nobody can re-edit the films. You are not going to lost too much despite the dub. I can't imagine what kind of butching will they do to the greatest animation, that is Kiki's delivery Service. (It's in my opinion that Kiki's Mr.Miyazaki's best film and Laputa, Castle in the Sky follow close second. I'm not about to let you change my mind.)

    Now Miramax is a great Oscar specialist, but it's never very good at these low profile films. If you don't believe bad marketing can ruin a good movie, look no further than Babe II. At least it had some promotion to back it up. Have you ever seen a trailor of Mononoke? If you want to see Pincess Mononoke has a chance, to reach the brainwashed American public pick up you phone and call Miramix.
