Hell, just install a different browser, like Opera or Mozilla. That way, your settings are seperate, and you avoid IE's history problem. I'd be more worried myself about accidentally seeing somewhere my mom goes...that would be far more damaging to the self...
Hey, it's better than the X-ray machines controled by Visual Basic apps. As you get ready to be irridated, you watch the technician click through several dialog boxes of errors as she reassures you "it's OK, this always happens".
It's shocking what gaps are in the knowledge of the public...the Chinese Embassy bombing was due to the Chinese using their embassy transmitters to relay commands from the Serbian command to the units in the field in Kosovo. The Chinese took sides, and ergo were targets. The Afghan wedding party was an successful Al-Qaeda disinformation campaign. AQ did the killing, but hey you won't hear that on the `objective` media.
Err, no. Ever watched anime in Japan? There are three channels with it on right now, and all are obviously targeted at children, to judge from the toy commercials that play during the station breaks. Doesn't stop foreigners from gobbling them up, though...there are a few people here who get in front of the TV and won't stop all day.
SHAME ON YOU!!! The dogma amongst Anime advocates is that there is no sex in Anime, there would never be disgusting, sexist material in Anime if it were not for the demands of gaijin consumers. Sexy cartoons have nothing to do with the appeal of Anime. NONE!!!
Yeah, goodness knows, it's virtually impossible to rent a random Anime that has female characters that are not sexually appealing to 15-year-old boys. Or who don't show their tits at some point during the show. Or an Anime that actually has a single unattractive female character under 40. Face it, Anime is sexist as hell, and it won't change until Japan does.
Maybe because most Anime is actually made for children? It's not Japan's fault if misguided foreigners mistake it for genuine works of merit, instead of the 30-minute toy commercials they actually are.
First, my right to free speech has nothing repeat nothing whatsoever to do with my postings on slashdot.
Ignorance is no crime, it just needs knowledge to annul it. New Yorkers are often remarkably parochial. They know nothing of the rest of the country, and assume it's all like New York. Where exactly was the inflammatory part of my comment?
Newsflash: New Yorkers are the only ones who think that. Venture in to flyover territory sometime, and you'll learn that people are pretty darn good, and you'll also learn why the rest of the country dislikes parochial New York.
Wow...can't view avant-garde websites. What a loss. Now I can't watch the blinking and moving text and try to puzzle out what part of the image I'm supposed to click on. Applets sure are a Godsend.
I am just reminded of how bizarre I would think it, if perhaps a Japanese person went to all the trouble of learning English just so he could watch old Barney Miller reruns.
Cartoons *are* for children. Have you seen the commercials that run during the breaks of Anime in Japan? It's advertising for toys and preteen pop bands. It's very obvious that the vast majority of anime out there is aimed right at children, and for some reason adult foreigners like to watch it.
There already is an Anime channel. However, it isn't availible in the USA, so one might say it might as well be unavailible everywhere. Don't worry, you're not missing much. Just a bunch of Transformers, G-force, Sailor Moon, and other tired sexist, racist claptrap from another era.
Come to Japan for a few months. You'll instantly see that the Anime availible occupies a very small slot in the national consciousness. It's obvious that the anime that does run on TV is intended for children. I don't think too many adults buy the crap they advertise during the commercial breaks for anime here in Japan.
Come to Japan. You'll see very shortly that everyone on the subway who's reading a comic book (grown MEN, even) is reading porno comics. Gotta carry what sells.

Yes, Opera FINALLY put the "block unrequested popups" option in version 7. V6 was very annoying with only its "accept all or deny all" options.

Just like an engineer, isn't it?
What about Transformers or GI Joe? Those and many other shows were 30-minute commercials for a line of toys.

Partner? Is this some kind of business associate, or your wife?

It's well-known that journalists prefer bad news whenever possible.

Right to free speech. Indeed.

It's not a "2600 pad", loser. It's an "ATARI JOYSTICK", and don't you ever forget that.

Cartoon nudity doesn't turn you on? Why the heck do you bother watching Anime then? It's the whole point!
Transformers was a 30-minute commercial for a line of toys. Are there people out there who have still to this day never realized this?
Nextly, they haven't worn those sailor suits in quite a long time. Perhaps you haven't been to Japan lately?
learning an entire other language, just to watch cartoon shows? you're kidding, right?
