But the US versions have some exclusive extras, namely some commentary from the shows actors, and a number of smaller things.
They're published in the US by A.D. Vision, the same people that bring us tons of the anime that Taco and I know and love (Gasaraki, Steel Angel Kurumi), and are NOT members of the MPAA.
Set one bit and supposedly the Apple OS would not copy a file. This was, inevitably, ignored by everything including apple's own software shortly after it was implemented.
Of course, it wasn't *legally* mandated, but you never know what might happen.

ICANN Releases Reform Plan
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Yes, it needs something of a governace.
But this is a case where the sorta-governace is trying to:
a) make itself the one and ONLY authority as to how things on the internet will go and,
b) eliminate any say by the people who use it, aside from the compaines they represent.
Thus they eliminate the publicly elected Representative At-Large program, thus removing any public oversight of what they do.
Let's let large, stable corporations define the standards for the future of the Internet!
Mandatory DRM!
Watermarking!
Approval of domain names, and an arbitration panel that _always_ sides with the copyright holder, regardless of site content!
The internet has no pristine foundation. It is a combination of openly developed standards put together over time.
ICANN is trying to put itself in a position where it can order people around as they wish, according to the requests of the corporations they represent.
By eliminating all public input, and limiting it to a select group, such one sided moves are far easier to push through.
Movie theaters do so voluntarily. There is no law that states that people under 17 are legally banned from entering an R movie without parents. Movie theaters simply won't let them in.
This is singling out games as a target for government legislation.
Oh and don't forget, a Judge in California decided games weren't worthy of first amendment protection (because ALL games are like DOOM and Resident Evil...) so don't be suprised if something even more asinine than this happens.
Great. Seeing as how the show isn't run at the same time for ALL timezones, you've probably spoiled it for at least 2.
Never mind those outside the country.
Real smart.

This is what they felt like doing, so they did it. If they were spending their energies elsewhere, working one something they _didn't_ find interesting, then the energy would be wasted.
At the very least, this lets us all save the money we will *cough*spend*cough* on our windows license just to play a game.
He's not running a datacenter. He's probably just storing stuff on his home PC.
SCSI vs. IDE, the SCSI always has and always will cost more than IDE when comparing capacities.
Is SCSI faster? Hell yes, I've done U160 RAID installations and it kicks ass over IDE. But for 36GB of (blindingly fast) space, it cost $1300 (500$/drive and $300 card).
So yeah, if SCSI were more common it would cost less. But it isn't, so it does.
Someone actually *was* working on a clone of Wolfenstein 3D for the TI-89/92+
Other things prevented him from completing it, but the demo is out there (can't recall its name, and ticalc.org is down as I write this), and it was quite smooth.
Further tricks common to TI games would allow 4-7 level grayscale, though they weren't sure how to handle AI/Map storage.

Yeah but then you get that wonderfully greasy cheekprint across the whole thing?
Howza pointer gonna keep that of, eh?
Because Apple did not intend on selling it to anyone but MAC USERS.
It was supposed to be an addon to the Mac, not an independent product.
Guess why they used HFS+
Can you?
Because everyone they were aiming it at had a system that supported HFS+
Light is in the hundreds of terahertz. Not only that, but this doesn't have nearly as hard a line-of-sight restriction as a laser.
Close, but not quite.
Not all of the High Schools in this country are as pathetic as yours.
Sounds like you have an administration problem, and need to try and have something done about it.
Honestly, aside from a few *nix geeks who would put another OS on there, what do you think people will do with this?
Exactly. Play bootlegged movies on their TV.
Great, another excuse for the MPAA/RIAA to push their laws.

This is a site covering news for nerds. A bit of tech such as this is interesting, to those who care to look.

So buy up!
It's always more effecient to stay with a single, homogeneous environment.
Hasn't the general consensus on slashdot been that a monoculture is a bad thing?
Microsoft uses the same reasoning (higher TOC) as a reason to move from whatever blend people use now to 100% Windows...
If that's the case, Taco'd better work on hislameness filter, it filters out anything that's all encoding characters.
Last thing we need is Taco calling all the chinese posters, posting in chinese, lame!

Not that I terribly care to use IE6.
Just to clarify though, PNG alpha channels are still fucked and require a work around for IE6 to work properly.
Apple had a copy prevention flag too.

The problem with southpark, beavis and butthead, and crap like Scooby Doo is that it all focused on the show.
Anime is just a medium, under which you can find anything you can imagine.
So don't shove your head up your ass just because something is animated. Give it a bit more thought, or just IGNORE it.
Well, considering that ADV is _not_ a member of the MPAA, does it really come up in this case?
Bitch, bitch, bitch...

It does not circumvent anything. It does not break/bypass any method of (in)effectively restricting access.
It is simply an unprotected format.
Now, should the SSSCA pass (CPFDFJKFJSKD or whatever), it will be illegal because it won't have any protections built in.
What's REAL and What's FAKE today?
I honestly can't tell.
Slashdot should have a policy that all fake articles are marked as such...
Well, does it?
It looks like, for all intents and purposes, that it doesn't.
I refuse to install WMP7 or WMP8, because I don't see them as offering anything (except to give microsoft more control over your system).
Any ideas?
