Yeah, but they won't care because they won't know because they will be invisible anyway (now if only the clothes could be invisible that may keep their mind away from the battle).
Yeah there were camera angles in Agent Akia that would be impossible in real life. Ever notice how real tits don't 'bounce' right after you have spent most of your life watching anime.
And they would be hard pressed to find an actress in Japan with breasts as big as Bulma's (that cound act standing up anyway). How are they going to deal with tentacle monsters?
All of the computers on my network, about 3 or 4 most of the time are named for female ANIME characters. My personal machine is Ryoko, a Win98 machine is Akane, and my firewall is Armitage.
I don't believe anyone thinks DBZ is high ART, it's just a silly way to waste 30 min. If you want art, watch Mononoke Hime in japanese with the subtitles turned off.;-)
You didn't specify, but I'll assume you're talking about the English Dub. I have the 1st DVD and have watched it in English and Japanese the English version is about average IMHO. I have over 500 anime videos a good mix of subbed and dubbed and if you watch the older stuff and compare it to the anime now you can tell the dubs are getting better the production companys are trying, but sometimes they screw up pretty bad. For the most part they do a fairly good job, when they do screw up you can bet they here of it.
Watch DBZ on the International Channel it's un-cut and in japanese (sorry no subtitles). It's a lot more fun, and you haven't laughed until you see Master Roshi defeat a giant dragon with a equally giant fart! They just cut too much and ruin the jokes in the US version. IC is also showing Slayers (subbed) after DBZ. If you like J-pop you can catch HEY HEY HEY Music Champ just gefore DBZ.
When I read this the first thing I thought of was are they going to serve coolaid at this conference, but then I realized I was thinking of Guyana instead. Dang all of out worries might have been over.;-)
I don't see it causing much of a problem in that someone (microsoft) could come in and "steal" code. Because it's still copyrighted by the author(s) that wrote it. It might be fun trying to figure out who wrote what, but for the most part things would continue with a new version of GPL.
Sorry for the late reply. But yes I am in the Boondocks I live in a town of about 1300 people and the nearest big city (Lubbock) is 70 miles away. there are less than 2500 people in the entire county. Look up Spur Texas and see.
I guess this is one of the benifits of living in the boondocks. My local phone co. is a coopertive. I can make 1 call to them and have DSL installed before the end of the week, most times it's only a day or two. When I have a problem the crew is out in hours if not minutes. They don't have to make money just pay bills, heck I even get a rebate check from them every year for each phone number I have. I was the first dial-up customer to logon, It was a race between a friend of mine and me. His password got mangaled so I got there first, But alas he got the IT job.:-(
I hear this a lot, but never found it true in my case. Infact people that have faster computers than me seem to think mine runs faster and smoother than their computer. Mine is made up from all kinds of older stuff I had laying around, a dual celeron Abit MB, a pair of 433 celerons, a *OLD* 16 bit soundblaster, and a very old Diamond 2M video card. The only thing I bought for it lately is 768M of ram. Heck before I put this one together I was running a Cyrix P-120, 64M ram, and the same soundcard and videocard. Even then people were impressed.
Sorry I have to disagree with the " purely voluntary, uncoerced payment could not only be adequate, but better for both the users and producers of information products" because a lot of users of IP are producers of IP. If Joe Smoe wrote the greatest thriller of all time, and sold copys of it for a donation of $10 then MGM could buy it and make a movie that makes them $ 100 mil. Then Joe Smoe gets none of that because there is no copyright law. And none of that "Oh I could copy the movie and sell it" because you could bet the ONLY place you could watch that movie is in the theater, and they will search you before you go in. There needs to be a copyright law but it needs to be fair and sane.
I think that people get killed over how nice their sneakers look.
Well you got me there... But the murderer is getting the sneakers, In the case of copyright the public domain wouldn't be getting the copyright until the term ran out. The author's life or death shouldn't have anything to do with it.
How much abandonware is out there for the Commodore-64?
There is a lot of it and not just on the C-64. My copy of Merlin 128 is a good example. You can't buy it any more unless someone's got a few copies in a warehouse somewhere.
Yes, yes I am. You'll be happy to know that that work has always legally been 'public domain'.;-) [Not that it's that amazing of a work today.]
Ah... the memories, I may have to break-out my C-128 and see if the CMD HD still works. I had a Native partition setup to boot ACE. It was really fun to play with. Damn, my new computers are just not as much fun as my ol' C-128.
Sorry I have to disagree, corperations shouldn't have the right of copyright only individuals. I f Uncle Walt makes a movie he owns the copyright, if he wants to sell the copyright he has to sell it to another person and not a corp. This would solve most of the problems we have now with copyrights.
20 or 25 years should be long enough for copyrights with maybe an extention for maybe 15 or so years more. Beyond that any money being made is very small if any on most things. And do you really think people would be murdered just so their copyrights would go into the public domain?
I do like the abandoment clause however.
BTW are you the same csbruce that wrote the ACE-OS?
he's asking Microsoft to undo most of their desktop / system intergration. Isn't all that intergration what the general public likes about Windows(tm)? I don't see this happening, they will just patch around or disable by default all / most of the problem areas.
on an Altos 8005. It's a 5 meg drive with 8" platters. It's about 16" x 10" x 10" and has a transparent yellow lexan cover. You can watch everything move when it's accessed. But alas the media is bad, so I can no longer use it. Does anyone out there know where I could get this fixed cheep?
Well in 2010 I won't be middle-aged... Oh crap I will, at least I am not overweight... Damn I am, Well I don't go online posing as teenage girls! (tee hee);-*

Panty shots are just not the same with actors.

In Dragonball Z ???? Did I miss an episode.

the voices are terrible

When we will get all of the other Miyazaki anime that Uncle Walt bought the rights to.

Will we see this soon?
Bush: Give up, Bin Laden we have an anti-matter bomb!
Bin Laden: No! You give up, I've got an anti-anti-matter bomb
Damn... that's an old joke!
These guys are going to get so sued by Disney, Don't they know that Disney owns "The Mouse"! :-)
I will be waiting for the Linux cell phone shaped like Tux.

Maybe they should upgrade to a Commodore 128. It runs at 2Mhz.
