X-Files - last season
The Tick - Cancelled
Futurama - Cancelled
The Chamber (which they fought so hard to get it out before the chair) - cancelled (thank God)
just what in the hell are they going to replace these shows with? Its not like a lot of quality material is knocking down the door at FOX
The telecom industry is on life support at the moment. Stocks are about as low as they can go (WCOM hit $6.00 a share sometime last week, from a high of $85.00).
they will lose this case and they will probably go bankrupt soon after. Its just a money grab that is doomed to failure.
people dont have as much disposable income, and tend to purchase entertainment that can be "reused". Books & Boards Games are always big sellers in bad economies, video games just follow the logical progression.
what falters in bad economies are "night on the town" style entertainment like movies and fine dining (with the notable exception of bars)
Just because the language supports *clearly marked* "unsafe" (as in, the programmer is able to shoot-himself-in-foot) coding practices, does not mean that IE will allow controls that require that feature to run.
what will make this unsafe feature any different thatn any other unsafe feature that IE runs?
1) some spammers target what "I" am interested in, I will look at those ads... I have 3-5 spammers that feed me information/products that I am interested in... I also opted into those lists.
I have spent well over 2k online in the last year, I didnt even get close to that from the brick and mortar stores, online shopping is the wave of the future, this is only the begining... lets just hope they dont drop the ball
The primary purpose a game is produced, is to::gasp:: make money. with < 4% of machines being Macs, a smaller % running OS X and a smaller % yet of those machines being used by gamers, there isnt enough money to let programmers/producers/distributors/resellers put any in their pocket.
Im not going to upgrade my machine for the "latest and greatest" when the original unreal tournament is just fine.
Im quite sure my current machine could "handle it", the other two machines on my network would have to be upgraded considerably in order to play it with other people in my house (upgrade = throw in trash and buy/build a new one)... no game is worth $2000.00 (plus the cost of the game)
Ive seen the trailer and It looks fantastic... but from sonme of the shots of the Magna that he wrote, Im quite sure he has seen at least parts of it... to much similarity in both the story and the artwork... too bad Ill have to wait until it gets released on DVD... hopefully the re-release of the B&W version will take place in April as slated...
on one page (dont remember where) they were saying that Metropolis was NOT based off of the 1926 Fritz Lang Silent Masterpiece, but off of the Japanese Magna (1949) of the same name... that may be the case, BUT I wonder where Osamu Tezuka got HIS inspiration from...
It probably wont hit any theaters around here, but at least the video will be available in May...
currently I get all my live bootlegs from alt.binaries.sound.mp3.bootlegs, but instead of going out and looking for a particular artist, Im presented with a vast array of stuff that I may or may not want, the only way to tell is to DL a song or two.. I have found many good concerts by people I dont normally like.
Slashdot Mirror
and greg the bunny... problem is, like futurama and company, they are also "edge" shows

(that 80's Show?... uggg)
being £8,000,000,000 in dept is not fisically sound...

Lets leave a VHS tape in a hot car and see what happens.

aliens rule this world and the illuminati are its agents... prove me wrong!
1) some spammers target what "I" am interested in, I will look at those ads... I have 3-5 spammers that feed me information/products that I am interested in... I also opted into those lists.
2) fried spam with over easy eggs is also good.
all other spam should be banned...

considering the concerts Ive gotten latly, I would say the your "most" is in a minority
are you talking soundboard or audience recording?
if soundboard... duh...
since when is "tape" CD Quality? most reporters and concert bootleggers use a cassette tape to record their information...
128k is more than enough for live recordings, considering background noise, proximity of the source of the recording (loud speakers, etc)
anything over 128 is overkill... it just depends on how well it records in the first place.
I chalenge even "golden ears" to tell me the difference in a 256 rate Megadeth concert and a 128 rate one...
We all have to start somewhere.
::gasp:: make money. with < 4% of machines being Macs, a smaller % running OS X and a smaller % yet of those machines being used by gamers, there isnt enough money to let programmers/producers/distributors/resellers put any in their pocket.
The primary purpose a game is produced, is to
...a Game Developer's Playground
but with macs holding < 4% of the market it is not a viable playground...
Original as in NOT the anime version...

on DVD, and Im not talking the crappy verion you can pick up for 9.99 on Amazon either
They talk about it here
The Magna
The Movie
here is what this movie is based on...
Its based off of the Magna (Comic book) by Osamu Tezuka from 1949...which was (most likly) inspired by Metropolis (1926)
and actually parts of Metropolis (1926) were animated, as well as stop action photography and other nifty effects!
on one page (dont remember where) they were saying that Metropolis was NOT based off of the 1926 Fritz Lang Silent Masterpiece, but off of the Japanese Magna (1949) of the same name... that may be the case, BUT I wonder where Osamu Tezuka got HIS inspiration from...
