I just think that now that networks are starting to pick up anime that hopefully it will reach a larger audience. I just hope the genre does not get pigeonholed in the US the way the regular animation market has. If it does, there will always be the fansubs.
This is possibly the worst thing that could happen to anime. Look what American culture does to anything foreign. British TV, Mexican and Chinese food, ugh! I'd prefer to pay more money, but keep the quality anime as it is now.
If you want anime that hasn't been subbed here? Learn Japanese. That's what I'm doing.
Don't even bother to respond w/some sort of negative bullshit, I don't care to hear it. No-Op asked for my opinion here it is.
You insult and degrade the beliefs of a large portion of the population, then have the arrogance to say "Talk to the hand"??
I believe in the Almighty God / Jesus model of creation. Why? Because believing in eternal life sure beats the alternative. Becoming worm manure is not my ideal final resting place.
My opinion might stink, but at least I like the smell of mine more than the smell of yours.
Jonny Farringdon, Senior Scientist in Wearable Technologies at Philips' UK Research Laboratories, held forth in a booth festooned with heat-sensing bras, gloves which measure sexual arousal (well, galvanic skin conduction), and other oddities which might not seem odd for long. Specifically, two of the jackets on display at the booth went on sale this month in Europe as part of Levi's Industrial Clothing Division line.
Measures sexual arousal?? Heat-sensing bras?? Do I notice a particular trend with features like these? Kinda makes you think that these researcher really really need girlfriends.
Then, of course, there's the problem of shorting out your clothes due to "moisture".
Surprise, surprise, Bill Gates has not come out and supported Gore. Gee, I wonder why?
Also notice that Dubya has gotten more donations from high tech companies. I wonder if a large part of that is from Microsoft. Dubya has already said that he's against breaking MS apart. I think it'd be in Gates' best interest to side with Dubya.
I consider myself extreme left, and I wouldn'y want to see any sites blocked.
Well, I'm as extreme right as you can get. No, Nazi-ism is not the extreme of right wing, anymore than totalitarian-ism is the extreme of left wing.
But I don't believe what I'm going to say. I agree with you. The first amendment is in place to defend speech that others would deem offensive. Without it, what's to stop a government from eliminating it's detractors. Everybody is offended by something. Eventually, if you talk to everybody, you'll find that there's not one thing in this world that somebody isn't offended by. The government's job is not to protect people from offensive speech, it's to protect offensive speech from people.
I'm offended by Jon Katz, as are alot of other people here. That doesn't mean that he doesn't have a right to express his viewpoint. Just because it's there doesn't mean that you have to listen to it. There's another channel to watch, another radio station to listen to, another web site to visit.
At either extreme, you are going to have sites blocked that shouldn't be blocked. The extreme left would love to block any religious web sites, anti-abortion groups, the NRA, and sometimes Slashdot. The extreme right would love to see Planned Parenthood, Gun Control, Inc., the Sierra Club, and somes Slashdot.
Here's my idea. Hire some old women about the age of your grandmother. Have them sit next to you while you're on the net. Would you go to sexwithmidgets.com with your grandmother sitting next to you? Neither would I.
It's not censorship. Just think about it. In a public area (libraries, university computer labs, etc), only go to those sites that you would go to sitting next to your grandmother.
How do you weigh the legal aspects of the Privacy Act of 1974 against the current trend towards total divulgence of personal information (e.g. Social Security Numbers required to get a drivers license, the FBI project Carnivore, the NSA project Echelon)
Could the P4 arrive too late? Will the Athlon already dominate the high-end market by that point? I think it's already happening.
The only thing that will save the P4 at this point is a huge marketing blitz by Intel. And even that sometimes fizzles (remember the "Enhanced for Pentium 3" web sites? The only one around I've seen is intel.com).
Now, if only Motorola/Apple finally get off their asses and make the high-clock speed G4s it's capable of. Dual CPU is tre-cool, but only if the OS fully supports it, and OSX won't be out in full release for a while.
Can this network be accessed with a portable dish? Sit in an outdoor cafe, setup your laptop and a collapsible 1 meter dish and surf at some decent speeds. And no mobile phone charges. Man, I'd pay for that.
Besides, how cool would it be to be sitting in a restaurant with a satellite dish?
mouseover shopping. All you have to do is hold your mouse over the buy button for 2 seconds...
I'm gonna build a online store with One Glance Shopping! All you need to do is look at the online listing of a product and it's automatically shipped to your house. Sure, we'll get lots of returns.
Oh and don't forget the chance that the rocket you are on going up to Mir might blow up too.
Look at the market for people that will jump from platforms with rubber bands tied to their feet, people that will jump out of perfectly good aircraft, and every other sort of suicidal thrill. You'd get people lined up around the block.
Warning: This rocket might kill you and scatter your remains across 1500 square miles of Siberian Tundra!
This could be a good thing. If a fungus can be cultivated in a vacuum, then can we cultivate other types of plant life in a vacuum. Could this be a source of food for an extended space voyage?
I'm not saying that the NSA and the DOJ are the same thing. I'm not saying they aren't, either.
What I'm saying is that this type of behavior isn't limited to just the NSA. Almost every government agency acts in some sort of underhanded way. Just look at the FBI and Carnivore. That whole project smells of the NSA.

I yelled this several times during the debates. And I'm Christian!

Don't you? All I want is a HUD with crosshairs for meetings with the bosses.

All you need is cache!
All you need is cache, cache!
Cache is all you need!
Ok, that was lame. But it's 9am and I haven't had my caffiene yet. What do you want, Pavarotti?

Sorry, no matter how cool your grandmother is, that's just not right!

Yeah, that's right. I'm gonna patent taking a piss when you wake up.

Damn, beat me to the joke.

Just don't let them over until I find a new job! Then, you can ship them over by the boatload!

Ever been to a Star Trek convention?
Well, it'll give the Mir cosmonauts something to keep their mind off the fires and collisions.
