    It not like the stupid cartoon nudity turns me on or anything

    So you only like the intelligent cartoon nudity?? Does that mean that you prefer those pre cloaked scenes in Ghost in the Shell instead of the popular Count Down??

    The Extreme Violence isn't a problem on TV. As long as nobody utters the phrase "Sweet Jesus" then they should be able to air it...

  3. Re:Will it come with a lockout? on ADV Confirms Cable Anime Channel · · Score: 5, Interesting
    I believe that most TVs allow you to lock out channels.

    If yours doesn't, then might I suggest educating your kids as to why the sexually explicit or violent cartoons are bad, or just buy a new TV that allows you to do so.

    It is your job as a parent to raise your kids. It is not the cable companies responsability to monitor what they watch, it's yours.

    Great, first you guys give out the way to get the high scores, and now that I am able to actually get on the online highscores list, I find that it's slashdotted.

    I've tried to get him to fall off the side also, but normally he only flies off the side at about the fifth step from the bottom, so it doesn't do as much damage.

    Ever try to get him to fly off the back of the stairs?

    I've been playing this for a few months now, and that has been my one major complaint.

    Here I am with a score of 90k, and when I bring up the high scores, they are all over 90 million.

    but now that I can cheat, err, I mean, know the secret...

    Then I'd figure that you are either that guy with all the punctuation marks on his suit who keeps telling me to buy his book about free money, or that you are Crazy Al from Crazy Al's Free Used Cars and Free Music. How can he give away free used cars and music, I'll tell you how, because he's crazy, that's why. And if you don't leave the lot happy, he'll eat a bucket of scorpians...

    They could give out a Big Black Guy Named Ben (tm) with each CD.

    That's funny, because every time I install a new version of Mozilla, I get a new bug, sure an old one gets fixed, but when it won't let me download, bookmark, or fill in forms, it's still pretty annoying.

    Back when I had time, I would spend hours on sites like Newgrounds playing all the games there. Where else but in the land of flash can you Race RC Cars with a parrot?

    Sure, it may not be the most usefull thing out there, but hey, it still fun.

    You want dangerous, well the only fire prevention we have for our 23 servers, is one halon extinguisher. So if the room goes up, we can save it, as long as we don't want any oxygen...

  12. No, perhaps you missed the point... on Cellphones On Airplanes · · Score: 2
    Hypothetical, it happens all the time.

    I'm am always having to deal with people talking loudly into cell phones, or people who aren't paying attention to the waitress because they are on the phone, and of course there are the people that just stand there at check out counters chatting on their cell phone about the pants they are buying with the cashier standing there saying, "Ma'am, that will be 34.97... Excuse me, Ma'am...". I had to deal with my sister giggling into her phone with the body of my great grand mother in the same damn room.

    There are places where you shouldn't talk on a cell phone, and there are places were it is perfectly all right. Your conversation about pants can wait until you are in the parking lot. If you have to yell into the phone, and you are in a public place, then hangup and call again when you have a better signal. If you just have to talk about the menu with you mother in Ohio, then wait until after you order. Or at least acknowledge the waitress and ask her to come back in fifteen minutes, don't make her try to determine whether or not you want to eat.

    Of course not, the vast majority of teenagers don't steal stuff. On the other hand, if everyday, I had to chase kids out of my store because they were stealing things, then you can be damn skippy that I will require them to have parental supervision if they want to come in.

    As for the phones, they aren't banned from any of the places that I mentioned, except for planes, but as I said in another post somewhere on here, I believe that it is for saftey reasons, as they interfere with equipment that deals with landing and taking off.

    As it is, there are places that you just shouldn't be on the phone. If you are trying to converse with the person checking you out or taking your order, then you should be paying attention to them. If you are crowded in with a group of people, then you should be considerate to them and talk quietly, if that isn't possible, then tell the person that you'll call back. If you are on a date with me, and you answer your phone, no problem if it is something about work or an injured friend, when you start talking about the movie we just saw, you can be sure that the next call you get, won't be from me. My sister even spent (at least) 15 minutes on her phone bullshitting with her friends at my great grand mothers funeral. Any time there is a dead body in the room, the only people you should be calling are the cops.

  14. Re:deal? on Cellphones On Airplanes · · Score: 5, Insightful
    You see, the people talking to those around them are normally using their inside voices, while those on phones are using their Cellular voices, which is about 3x as loud as a normal person's outside voice.

    Even people that use those headsets with the phone tend to talk louder than a 2nd grader running around on the playground.

    There are just a few places where cell phones are inapropriate, these would be places where you are crowded in with a group of people for a long duration of time, in lines at checkout counters, funerals, and on dates. Chances are, you are not important enough to have to talk on the phone during a funeral. And you're sister can wait an hour for the plane to land to hear about the cute guy sitting in 21-b.

  21. Re:Eternal life? on Downloading The Mind · · Score: 2
    What I think would happen would be that it would be a different consciousness with all the memories of the person in their 70s.

    In order to retain the same level of though processes, you would have to have a brain that is wired the same way as the previous one, and it would also have to recieve the same chemical stimuli from the body, which means you would have to grow a clone, then upload the memories from the old body, and hopefully, the younger brain would pick up the memories and know what is going on.

    But unfortunately, the 70 year old body still dies with you in it. Which of course will lead to one heck of a mess of paperwork at the pearly gates once clone #7 dies, tries to get into heaven, only to find out that there are 5 people in front of him with the same name because someone already picked up the pass to get in years ago...
