    I heard that too... :D

    "Onegai Rumi-chan! Nihongo de setsumei shite!" (The equivalent English would be "Could you PLEASE explain that to me in ENGLISH?") I was introduced to the movie in college (subtitled)... when I stumbled across the DVD in Media Play, I *had* to have it. Okay, the subtitles are teh w0rng sometimes, but hey. I don't like the dub, but it's fairly close (to a fault sometimes), and I copied off the flick for my friend...he likes the movie too, and anime really isn't his thing.

    I personally think we need some more non-American movies in the theaters as American-made movies tend to be teh sux lately.

    (BTW, IMHO, The Hulk wasn't really THAT bad a movie, simply because it wasn't anything like any other comic-adaptation movie I've seen. You can thank Ang "Crouching Tiger" Lee for that.)

    The best idea would perhaps be to import a story from anime (NO, NOT HENTAI!!!), like say, Magic Knight Rayearth, or maybe Perfect Blue.

    Perfect Blue would be teh r0x0r film if it were remade in the US. It's very Hitchcockian but it's still unique.

  12. Re:All MacOS ever needed... on Apple's School Days are Numbered · · Score: 1

    Heh. I agree there. However I do believe that the epitome of "n00b-friendly" UI is MacOS 7.

    If I could design a system, it would look and feel like MacOS 7, but it would have real multitasking and memory protection, improved file system, and have a bit more POSIX compatibility (so BASH - or maybe ASH, MSH or RMFCOM - and other stuff can run in a window).

    However, I don't consider "user management" or "SMP" a need for a Mac-like OS - MacOS (not X) was an OS for a single user on a single CPU.

  13. Re:Diversity is a survival factor on Apple's School Days are Numbered · · Score: 1

    I do believe that the Mac (especially MacOS 7.1 and earlier) were designed around usability to the point that they are sufficiently n00b-friendly. (BTW, my first taste of GUIs was GS/OS 3.0 on a 512K Apple IIgs, and I thought it was very simple. That is the same OS as the Mac, externally - but internally it is a 16-bit version of ProDOS, the Apple //e and /// OS.)

    All it ever needed was a simple command line, which OS X offers.

    With the Apple //e you could have 60K of RAM in state at once (the other 4K was memory-mapped I/O). Usually only 48K was active. It's possible to upgrade the //e to 3.1 MB RAM (as in fact EMU][ emulates).

  17. Re:Debian! on The Increasing Cost of Red Hat Linux? · · Score: 1

    Compile to the lowest common denominator, of course! Just as almost anything built for Windows 95 will run on Windows NT, 2000 and XP in theory. I'm sure there isn't THAT much of a need for >2.0 kernel features in some of this stuff. Build for 2.0 and you should have the compatibility.

    And what do you mean, by my logic, FreeBSD==Linux? I never implied anything of the sort. BSD is BSD. Linux is Linux. They have different userlands in 99% of distros (there are BSD+GNU and Linux+BSD distros). Kernel-level binary emulation of an OS doesn't make your system the same as the OS being emulated. (If the OS is a binary-compatible clone a la DR DOS [of MS-DOS], that's a different story.)

    It's the same fscking operating system (Linux/GNU Userland). A properly compiled program will run on any distro. I mean, what's the deal? Not every Linux user uses Hed Rat (I do, but that's beside the point).
