But can you tell me that without the swearing and nudity, that those anime shows are absolutely nothing like the original? Now, I don't watch those show, so maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect that's not the case. I suspect they've got a little more involved than that.
However, when you look at the simpsons, that show is defined by half of the stuff they want to strip out. What's next? Married with Children, except without the horny, demanding wife, without the lazy, incompetent husband, without the slutty daughter, and without the social failure of a son? Sounds like a great show.
I haven't seen the patent first hand, but often something obvious now, wasn't at that time. If it were then why wasn't someone else doing it already.
Back in the days when universities where using mainframes, students would be allocated a certain number of minutes of CPU minutes on they system. If they were out of minutes, they were given an error message and could not continue until they paid for more. I know this was going on at least as far back as the 80s, and I wouldn't doubt it goes back even earlier.
So tell me, how does replacing "CPU minutes" with "cellular minutes" suddenly make it non-obvious?
It's been a LOOOONG time since I took my chemistry class, so I can't seem to figure out exactly what you are talking about. What is quintuply-bonded carbon? Is this one of those jokes like dihydrogen monoxide?
From TFA: We were very careful to use retail power supplies for our testing, mindful of not falling into the trap of asking manufacturers for supplies only to have special units sent which stand up more than a retail unit would.
As I understand it, this flag is part of the new macrovision system. Macrovision is done using the extra non visible part of the signal (where the closed captioning is...extra scan lines at the end of each frame). There have been tools out there for years that strip out this extra data from the signal (just saw one at CompUSA for $80).
You don't need a few grand to build your own. I started building my own myth box 2 days ago. Got it pretty much fully working last night. I spent $130 on a Hauppauge PVR-350, which has a great quality TV in/out with hardware MPEG encoder/decoder. Since the PVR-350 is doing the tough work, it's a very light load on the CPU. I threw it on an extra P3-450, and live TV (simultaneos record and timeshifted playback) still leaves it about 75-80% idle time.
So you can see the system requirements are very light. If you don't have any old hardware laying around, then even buying some new bottom-of-the-line stuff should do good with this card. Just off the top of my head, $100 each for CPU, motherboard and hard drive, $50 for memory, $30 each for case, CD/DVD drive and a cheap VGA card, plus $130 for the PVR-350, and you are only looking at $570. Actually, if you watch around, you can routinely find 200GB hard drive's for $40-$50 after rebate, so that puts you just over $500....plus your time (whatever you value that at).
Why can't I add anotherpanel, along the left side of my screen. With the number of quicklaunch and tray Icon's it would be nice to have those easily accesible, without being crowded and small at the bottom, half of them hidden becuase they don't have the room.
1) Load up your quick launch toolbar with shortcuts 2) Right click on the taskbar and make sure "Lock the Taskbar" is turned off 3) Click on the quick launch toolbar's handle, drag it to the side of the screen you prefer, and release. 4) Stare in amazement at a feature you didn't know about but has been present since Windows 98
Also, once it's docked, you can also set it to autohide on the right click menu
If the poster read the fuming article, they would have noticed that this was a bug, not on purpose
I would consider the fact that this can happen completely on accident via signal noise to be even WORSE than some bastard executive deciding they want to DRM a show.
At least when when it's a conscious decision to flag the content, I can keep up with the community and know when it's about to happen...and prepare for it. When it happens at complete random, all I can do is pray that it doesn't accidentally happen when I'm on vacation for a week.
Here's some more recent data (2000). It's the 15th largest metropolitan area (which I'd say is a more important measure than the size of just the city itself):
Putting aside for a moment the fact that you missed that these were 2 separate but somewhat related cases....
I agree. Every court should always come up with the same conclusion. And in that spirit, we can probably save ourselves a lot of tax money by eliminating all of the higher courts and doing away with the entire appeals process. Whats the point of appealing? The second court should come up with the same conclusion as the first.
You can thank American Government pollution laws for that not happening. Go to a major city in China; there, you'll DEFINITELY need gas masks to deal with pollution, especially near those "free enterprize" zones where pollution is not regulated. China has 7 of the world's most polluted cities.
Do you think the fact that we are sending a lot of our manufacturing over there might have something to do with it? Our pollution levels may be lower, but its at least partially artificial. Moving a mess somewhere else doesn't clean it up.
Makes me want to start searching for the seam between modern and 10 years old just to see if they try to blend them or just have a gross cut between them
Well, I'm not sure on the dates of these, but here's a very obvious seam between black & white and color data (just a few miles from the Apple campus)
I'd be interested in how you think that googlebar is a pale comparison of the the IE version
As I mentioned to someone else, the last version of firefox googlebar I tried could not share another toolbar with other buttons already on it. Instead, it required an entire bar for itself, thus wasting more screen space.
The IE google toolbar allows me to put it on another toolbar...I used to put mine on the bar next to all the forward/back/reload buttons.
I am interested to know what additional features this new firefox toolbar offers that googlebar can't already do.
Well, hopefully it can share another toolbar with other buttons already on it, because the last version of googlebar I tried insisted on having an entire bar to itself, thus wasting more screen space.
Thanks for that info. A certain message board I often use always prepends http:/// to any https:/// links, and the links always take you to paypal. Now I know why.
I have 2 pairs of those Dockers Stain Defenders too. The thing that I really hate about them is that they build up static like crazy. It doesn't matter whether I use fabric softener or dryer sheets. It's rather annoying having those things stick to your legs. I don't have this problem with any other pants...just those 2 pairs of Stain Defenders.

The solution is:
"If I were to ask the other guard if this is the life door, would he say yes?"
If you get a No, it's the life door.
If you get a Yes, it's the death door.
I believe one of the HD capture card is linux only.

no Antec must mean they didn't get a "free" one

I've had a stable MythTV server for over 12 months ....
4. Install a cron job to restart myth-backend once a week.
Not sure that's my idea of stable.

Here's the problem. When you maximize windows, the icons get covered up by the window.
Here's the solution. Right click on the new toolbar and select "Always on Top".
Seriously, it wasn't that hard to figure out. Did you even try to solve it? You are as bad as my wife.
"Oh no...there is an ever so slight obstacle in my path. That's it...it will never work, so I won't even bother trying. I give up"
"Ummmmm, here's how you fix it in 2 seconds"

What's your point? I didn't see anyone here say that EVERY athlete uses performance enhancing drugs.
Please. Athletes (in all sports) are always trying out new performance enhancing drugs which haven't yet been officially recognized and banned.
It won't be long until athletes are winning bronze, silver and gold coke cans.
No, it won't come to that. I'm pretty sure they'll be winning classic, vanilla, and cherry coke cans.
