Personally, I can imagine Will Smith wearing a brightly colored cardboard box and making beeping noises, while painting the landscape strange colors and shooting at things...
The voices in my head do say I have far too good an imagination, tho...
Shirow's primarily a comics artist, not an animator.
Yea, he seems to be more into the heavy weaponry, too, check out the designs for the new Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex stuff - very nice, and a silly level of detail for something thats likely to be in about 3 or four minutes of action, if that.
Here I was, hoping the Shirow model would be a little plastic version of Colonol Usanagi...
Ermm... you mean 'The Major', aka Motoko Kusanagi, perhaps?
It would have been cool tho... or maybe a Fuchi/Tachikoma?

The emphatic form is `grok in
fullness'.
1. To understand. Connotes intimate and exhaustive
knowledge. When you claim to `grok' some knowledge or technique,
you are asserting that you have not merely learned it in a detached
instrumental way but that it has become part of you, part of your
identity. For example, to say that you "know" LISP is simply to
assert that you can code in it if necessary - but to say you
"grok" LISP is to claim that you have deeply entered the
world-view and spirit of the language, with the implication that it
has transformed your view of programming. Contrast zen, which
is similar supernal understanding experienced as a single brief
flash. See also glark.
2. Used of programs, may connote
merely sufficient understanding. "Almost all C compilers grok the
void type these days."
Iver here (in the UK) we have a number of Scart pinouts, some of which include RGB (aka Component), Composite & RGB and Composite. Right now I have my PS2 hooked up to my TV via the RGB connection, and I really do get a monitor quality picture with the RGB, compared to Composite.
In fact, the cable I use has a switch in line to enable/disable the RGB output, forcing the TV to drop back to Composite, and there is a very noticable degridation - along the lines of 15" monitor versus a 15" TV - 'jaggies' on non-antialiassed games are VERY noticable.
Composite is along the same quality as normal RF, nothing much noticable there, however S-Video is an improvement, but not quite as good as RGB.
I use the same RGB scart on my VCR and cable set top, and also get a substantially better picture than Composite or RF. Everything is sharp, and it really shows up the codec loss in some things on digital cable.
Looking at the Pics (very slow) id have to totally agree with their claims in the quality of picture improvement.
If anyone wants any more info, i can have a go at providing it...

Considered a chainsaw? Or a shotgun?
You should be able to get hold of them a bit cheaper than one of those videocards, and it even looks better.
Shhhh! Thats classified!
Don't you mean "Sleeping"?

... now what?
'santa' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Hmm, hundreds in what numbering system exactly?

I don't think that sentence means what the poster intended it to mean.
But... what if it does?!?! Ive failed to supply them crypto, AND im not registered...!

I suppose I could just read the article... what am I thinking, this is Slashdot, must be true... must be true...
What do you mean Sendmail!?!?
C'mon, at least use a telnet client, and do it properly.
Dear oh dear... these kids nowadays...
You might want to include a link to the pictures, next time... :)
Now thats gotta be a new record...?
You mean like this: www.despair.com/demotivators/frownonthis.html ?
Surely it was Appletalk or something, which is why everyone seemed to be using Macs...
Otherwise everyone would have netstumbled their wifi network and slashdotted them out of the sky :)
www.tron20.net/
It got me intereseted at least, even if it is full of Flash...
Just noticed the log file is nearing a meg, and thats all thats on the site :)
