Do you really think that all politicians sit around and scheme of ways to screw over the country they grew up in?
I would say that most politicians sit around and scheme of ways to screw over those they think slighted them in some way.
I have met many politicians who obsess over ways to fuck over their neighbor who has annoyed them for some inane reason, or some company that has pissed them off, etc. etc.
They use their position of power for revenge and abuse.
So in the end the result is the same. By scheming ways to screw over individuals they want personal revenge on, they end up screwing over the country as a whole.
sure the jokes would survive. a lot (most?) of the jokes in lupin are of western origin or reference. a lot of it is slapstick, which doesn't require translation at all.
besides that, it's not like japanese is some language of space aliens from alpha centauri. plenty of japanese jokes come across just fine with word-for-word literal translations.
One of the easiest solutions I can see would be introducing laws to expressly criminalize relay rape, and give law enforcement enough teeth and incentive to prosecute regularly.
Upwards of 90% of the spam hitting our servers is relay raped off innocent 3rd parties. When you report the criminal trespass to law enforcement, they shrug their shoulders and say "there's no law against it" or "there's not enough fines to make it worth our time to prosecute".
i was responding to your assertion that massive registers and streamlined pipelines make a chip inherently fast (in this case, your assertion was for ia64).
yet sparc had both of those features and sparc wasn't fast at all.

yes, the ue errors were a problem on linux. and windows. its impossible to play more than 2 or 3 rounds of hunters or rabbit without it crashing. only regular ctf seems to approach anything near stability.
and its not a hardware problem. that's why q3 rtcw ut2003 etc work *perfectly* but tribes2 is ONLY application that ever crashes.
the tribes2 crashes are the #1 complaint about tribes2 in the in-game forums as well as on the web sites.
the reason it "took off" in the first place is that it had a huge tribes 1 audience to pick from. the problem is that most of them went back to tribes 1 because they were pissed off with tribes 2.
creationism is not testable. by its very definition creationism cannot be tested or verified. creationism is not applicable. you cannot apply creationism to solve any problem. creationism does not make any verifiable predictions.
therefore, creationism is not a theory.
the theorem (theory) of pythagoras is a theory. the theory of evolution is a theory.
creationism is NOT a theory. to claim it is otherwise is either ignorant or fraudulent.

there's plenty of anime worth the live action treatment 100,000x more than akira.
in fact I can think of few anime less deserving of it except, say, anpanman -- or maybe that preachy pile of totally cliche gainax trash called evangelion.

why not ban those?
or about about s&m films? those definitely advocate abuse.

itanium price/performance is still shit, btw.
if the solution is shit enough, no amount of marketing in the world will make it successful.
and from the itanium systems i have seen so far, all I can say is that intel has an enormous task ahead of them.
how do you know the chip isn't backdoored to allow IBM (or microsoft, or the feds) to get your keys...?

it was a brilliant game otherwise, but crashing every few map switches is a guaranteed way to kill off a game.

5 out of 5 ka7-100's that i have seen have failed, all with blown caps.
one of them was mine, the rest were various friends ka7-100's, and they were purchased at different times from completely different vendors.
every single one of them died with the same blown caps.

we need live action akira like we need anime plan 9 from outer space...
akira looked "cool" but that was about it -- the story was total spaghetti.
