Besides the fact that I think Vash's English VA doesn't sound right for Vash (probably cause I heard the Japanese VA first), it's a great dub. Even the Engilsh VA for Vash did a great job. I actually liked the female voices better (although for some reason Milly's lines seemed ever so slightly altered at some point.. but I'm nitpicking, it wasn't anything that directorally altered the show).
In my opinion, Evangelion had a poor English dub, though it wasn't the worst I've heard.
No offense to you, but you remind me of a lot of the elitists I know who would hang a man who dared to say 'I prefer dubs over subs', without question. While I prefer subtitles (mostly because it gives me a chance to hear and possibly learn some of a new language), it's not [necessarily] required to get the same message from the show/film and still enjoy it.
it does not sound like something MS would do. And who would buy it? Why Pay 199 for an OS that could only do games, when for 199 you could get a gamecube? Or for about 50-70 bucks more, a PS2 (as by the time the XBox is out the PS2 will be cheaper), or for 100 bucks more you could just get an XBox?
Not to mention the hassles of trying to emulate proprietary hardware with thousands of proprietary/nonproprietar periphs made for regular computers.. Plus who has the cash to buy a GF3 plus an OS plus a couple games?
Mozilla is a very good browser, and even in it's alpha/beta stages it's very good competition for MSIE (imho). The "cheating" he's referring to is that MSIE 4.x+ loads up so quickly because most of it is loaded up when you start the OS (hence the mention of Nautilus preloading Mozilla..)
And what about the 1000s of other kernel hackers around the world... Linus might be the kernel's "father" but.. if I was contributing even moderately to the kernel I'd be kind of a little upset that Linus was recieving lord knows how much money and not one other developer was seeing a penny. Unless Linus was giving the money to charity or it was going DIRECTLY to kernel development (i.e. buying new hardware for kernel developers/etc.)...
All of the lost profits from their French operation is how costly it is. Sure they'd make a little money buy selling off property in France to move out, and not having to pay French staff, but they would also have to give up the French market... Perhaps not their biggest market, but they'd see it as "losing" any profit they make by having bussiness presense in France.
In some schools the maximum grade you can get on any assignment is a 0 durring a suspension (especially if it's out of school)... I don't think I've ever heard of a school where you can get full credit if you're suspended for an assignment. And for a good student, that can hurt him for college/getting into other courses/etc...
Hmm.. Makes you wonder if CmdrTaco/Hemos/et al.'s misspellings are really just cyphers... And someday someone will look back at/. and find that they were constantly posting something related to the Linux kernel source code or something equally crazy. You never know..
Earthlink's been doing this to me sinceI've had their service. When a tech came out to change my cable modem, he even went into my internet prefs to make my homepage www.earthlink.net or home.earthlink.net or something. (He then checked that step off on his checklist; I promptly changed it back to about:blank, but hey if it makes them happy...) "AOL's web browser" sucks. No one who knows how to use Netscape or IE uses it. It doesn't play nicely with firewalls all the time, it doesn't render as well or as fast as IE, it's basically IE's html view control emebedded in an AOL MDI client. This really isn't that big a deal people...
There was a mass genocide (anyone remember the holocost?). And it was accepted by those who participated in it (entire countries). However, (thankfully), the rest of the world didn't accept it.
Oh yeah, not too long ago (less than 100 years), it was acceptable to kill a black man in the southern US. Legal? No. But acceptable. It happened with no punishment more than in just a few isolated cases.
Heroin _IS_ legal. It's a VERY powerful pain killer and is generally used in terminal patients with very painful diseases (I've not heard of it being used in nonterminal cases). The thing is, there's no good reason to use heroin other than to get high. The only other reason generally puts in you a hospital anyway. Your doctor could concievably write you a perscription for heroin, same as (s)he could for morphine. Just wanted to clear that up. There are a lot of other drugs that are the same way (most "hard" drugs).
The GIMP does run under Win32... there are two ports, one native and one that requires an X server. I'm not sure about the status of the X server one, but the native port can be found at http://www.gimp.org/win32. I'm fairly sure there was a Mac. port in progress.. or perhaps when OS X is available it will be easy to port to that? I can't remember as I'm not a Mac person.
Didn't any of these people watch "The Day the Earth Stood Still" ??? What were they thinking!!! We wouldn't want all those creepy aliens who know all about us to destroy Earth for blowing up the moon..;)
I think the moment we think we're invincible will be the day we all die. Better to think that fossil fuels will be gone in 2 years than to think we have an unlimited supply (not the best example, but you get the idea).
Some standards. I want standard motherboards with standard periferals so that some of this stuff can be assembled and changed around by the "end user". I'd also like to see this with laptops, although they are getting better... With LCD screens getting cheaper and cheaper, it'd be great to plug in a Crusoe and however much RAM and a video card.. And get to do what you want to with it. The possibilities could be endless.. Note taking, gaming, net surfing, presentations or reports, kernel hacking, whatever does it for you. As long as I'm dreaming (;) ), I'd also like to see cheap standard wireless ethernet. What I really think would be best would be a wireless card that could communicate with a wireless hub OR plug in a wireless reciever into a regular old hub. I'm not sure if these exsist, but if they do, they're probably very expensive, and very proprietary:(
Education is very important; the thing is that if you took the time to educate yourself then you would realize why it is wrong to kill someone. You see, there are so many laws that teaching you all of them and why they are wrong would take their enforcers far too much time -- but the ability to be educated still is available. You just have to take some time out of your day. If you want to be part of society or civilization or government (I use these terms somewhat loosely), you must abide by the law of the land as well as natural law. If the law of the land is wrong, change it. There are peaceful and effectual ways of changing the law of the land. They may be time consuming, but I stick to my statement above.
Sorry, I guess I'm getting a little off topic -- my point is that if what these people did is legal then good for them, if it is illegal then they should either pay the price or change the law or change their ways.
Legal does have a meaning by the way. It means created by or conforming to law (something along those lines, not sure what Mr. Webster would say).
Not to flame.. But as far as I know.. The "Linux Community" (in quotes as it includes people I know who really should be in the Sun or Oracle or IRIX etc. community) thinks MCSE is a joke. I've looked at prep tests, and most of it is stuff that Linux user would know, nothing particularly special. Well, this doesn't include some MS specific stuff, such as VB, Microsoft SQL, MSVC specific stuff, pretty much a Microsoft specific product. To quote a friend of mine "MCSE's are a dime a dozen -- Anyone who can read a book can get MCSE -- THEY'RE MULTIPLE CHOISE, YOU CAN GUESS YOUR WAY THROUGH HALF OF THEM YOU IDIOT". But.. the only cert. I've seen her aprove of is CCIE.. which is the only really difficult one I've ever seen.
"First [second, third, fourth.. I've seen those too] post!!!" is rather annoying. It's not something many people (anyone?) wants to read. I keep my threshold at -1 anyway, so I still see it, but it doesn't contribute to the conversation to say that you were the first to post. They aren't censored, they're marked. You can still read them by setting your threshold to -1.

Check the dub for Trigun sometime..
Besides the fact that I think Vash's English VA doesn't sound right for Vash (probably cause I heard the Japanese VA first), it's a great dub. Even the Engilsh VA for Vash did a great job.

I'd be very very very supprized if this was css encrypted... the .vob format is just basically an MPEG-2 stream with AC3 audio...

you can't ship by sea when the sea is 99% ice. (which happens on the bearing straight)

It's worth mentioning that Perl has very a very complete and lovely set of regular expressions (for anyone who doesn't know already..)

Just a few thoughts.

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but Linux is far from ready for a 2048 processor box. Hopefully SGI will help that..
But I don't see Linux running on Cray's anytime soon personally. Too much specialized hardware, and don't you need _something_ to call your own?

I think he's refering to George Orwell's novel "1984". Although I've never read it so I could be wrong :)
How is this funny?
