Anime would be everywhere. Give it time. There's a heck of a lot more of it then there was.
He also must have missed that this entire generation is growing up on "anime"... even my sons non-geek friends are all involved with pokemon, yugioh, & naruto. Anime is coming to the US in a big way these days... lots of money being made too.
Alot of the people on the net who do watch movies prefer not to see them in the theatre to be ruined by the dipshit dumping pop down your back, the woman who brought her 3mo old child to the movie who screams the entire time, or my personal favorite the two morons who can't shut up and talk the entire movie... and that's excluding cell phone, pothead(alternately: giggler), moaner, i've got the plague, foot bouncer on your chair, and numerous other morons.
Not to mention some figure why spend 30$ to goto the movies when you can buy the movie for less and own it forever.
I'll be more interested in seeing what it makes over the long run.
Lars... yah, what an asshat. I used to be a big metalica fan, then the whole mess with napster and live recordings and etc... I lost all respect for them as a band, they're trying to get rid of everything that initially 'made' them as a band. F'that.
I can understand that artists want to get the money for the work they're doing... I respect that. Hell, I've even mailed artists money in the mail when I've downloaded songs I really liked (prior to itunes mostly) and I've had some good responses back from them doing that and some interesting t-shirts and signed stuff too I might add. Shrug, the whole drm, screw our fans, etc... it just gets on my nerves.
In the end the fans aren't the only ones hurt the bands are too.
People value their own lives to much to take that level of risk.
You're 100% healthy, find a mythical 10 shot revolver, load 9 chambers with blanks and one with a real bullet, give the chamber a spin and put it to your head and pull the trigger. If you get shot, tough shit. If you don't get shot, then you can't die by putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger ever in your life no matter how many times you try.
Not many people would make that choice. AIDS for most people engaging in consentual sex is entirely preventable. It's NOT a particularly robust virus or particularly contagious compared to most viruses like it. Honestly, at a 10% mortality rate for 99% of people in the world, you'd be absolutely insane to take it.
HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is not AIDS(Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome), HIV weakens the immune system, at some point in most cases this eventually causes the body to get certain other infections and to be unable to fight them off... These secondary infections and the effects are AIDS. This vaccine is going to target HIV to prevent the initial assault on the immune system, by doing this you prevent AIDS also.
If you read the article you'll note that this prevents HIV-1, not AIDS itself which is a secondary effect of HIV. So no, this will have no effect on those already infected, vaccines prevent-- not cure.
Vaccine's don't cure, they prevent, this won't help the people with pre-existing infection. However, if the trials go well and governments can be persuaded to deal with it like we dealt with small pox, tb, etc this can be something humanity, for the most part, will prevent the vast majority of the world from ever having to deal with inside a few generations and in the long run may even help to find a cure.
Copy protection that annoys the consumer. I've cracked 90% of the games I've bought in the last 10 years because having to put the cd in the drive to play the game when all the content is on the hard drive is... STUPID. Many of my friends and family have taken it a step further and don't even bother buying the software anymore the rational being- "If i'm going to crack the game and make it unplayable online, why not just warez it and save 50 dollars?" and I honestly find it pretty hard to disagree at this point.

Don't confuse the "US People" with the "US Government". Less than half of the US voted becuase they're so disillusioned with all comers. Our sick laws screw us up at home everyday, why should we worry about it screwing us up internationally when we can't even get our shit right here?
I've been admining linux since the mid-90s, I started with slackware, later went to redhat and then suse, debian, and gentoo. Of all of them I've worked most extensively on gentoo, but in the long run (3+ years) it is by and far the hardest to maintain with 99.999999% uptime due to the compilation time and how things occasionally break during world updates. Don't get me wrong, it's fast, it's clean, but it's a royal pain in the ass to keep upto date on mission critical servers. I'd recommend debian to any future places of employ who asked. *Shrug*.
j/k, It's a nice desktop o/s, tends to be very very up to date. I wouldn't run it on a server though, the maintainability is a nightmare... and I know-- I just left a job doing admin for about 15 gentoo machines.
I did report it, the school knew, hell the police knew. They said they couldn't do anything about it because it was their word against mine and there were alot more of them than there was of me. You don't do much "standing up" against 5-6 people who are a year or two older than you. I got most of them back in time... one on one when they were alone. That's when it ended.
I got news for you, there are many types of hell, what I went through was one of them. Do I want to go through the kinda hell some other person went through? no. My experience there was enough, I don't need to repeat it.
The first one threatened that actually. To this day I can remember what he said word for word, "We're going to get you, we're going to get you down and beat you until you can't stand, you'll be lucky if you live." and I said, "For your sake, you better hope if you come after me again that you kill me... because if you don't, I will hunt down and kill everyone of you f***ers, starting with you." Then I smashed his face into the pavement a few more times just to make sure we were clear on where things stood. In all honesty, I was terrified... I figured they probably would get togeather and come and beat me to death. I didn't have much to lose at that point though or at least I didn't feel like I did.
Spot on... after 3 years of daily beatings, I started tracking people down when they were heading home, alone, in the middle of the night... the beatings ended in a right big hurry and it was entertaining to see them become unwilling to be alone... anywhere, once you know what fear truely is you quit being so willing to inflict it on others. Someone who hasn't been through the beatings and torture can't even come close to understanding how that feels and the mental, emotional, and physical scars it leaves. A fist fight sucks and you might win might lose... a gang of people getting you down and beating you regularly is a whole different story. A bully understands one thing, pain, end of story, until they feel it they have no concept and they don't care... after they feel enough pain they lose intereste in dishing it out anymore. ever.
I was severely beaten when I was in highschool by the same set of people repeatedly, and you know, after a while you develop a dark streak and you want to see them dead. To this day if I saw one of them get on fire in front of me, I wouldn't piss on them to put the fire out. I'd get a good laugh while they burned to death. A total stranger, a casual aquaintence, etc... I'd do all in my power to help. Not the bastards that made my life hell... bleed them to death with a rusty ice-cream scoop? he's nicer than I am.

Oh come on, you can see it form up (beam weapon) any computer worth its salt could predict where it's going to fire and the torpedos have a trajectory it could predict the impact point precisely.
I'm thinking if i were a botnet operator, I'd have my botnet computers set to automatically delete the entire system in the event they weren't able to contact the server after a given ammount of time and after all possible backup sites failed. Make the botnet hunters jobs real interesting;)
Slashdot Mirror
That's going to be the sequel. Snakes on a Bus.
It'll be short, Chuck Norris will say "I hate snakes" and they'll ALL DIE.
I dunno, it just seems like as a geek, now everyone has something in common with me rather than nothing ;)
~shrug~ Our culture became a bit more geeky and geeks in general a bit less misunderstood, i think thats a good thing.
Although, I do miss the days of the 2400 baud modem (2400 was LEET I SAY, LEET!) and tfiles bbs's.

Life is a circle, the pointer just got back to "stupid". Had a good run between though.
Naked wiki link to a wiki link gets +2 funny. Sad. I could write a bot to do the same.
That depends also, is an egg defined as the egg of what layed/nursed/cared for it or what it contains?
... cyberpunk cred sticks heh.
