I wouldn't go that far. I think the DVD format will be around with us for a long time. I just came from the grocery store, they are selling dvd players for 29 bucks right next to the beer. DVD is no longer the format for the video elete, every fucker and his dog now has one. There is no way anyone in their right mind will abandon a market like that. (Of course who ever said MPAA has a right mind.)
My point is, DVD is a huge market. Piracy or no piracy there is a shit load of money to be made.
Then there is the public relations nightmare. once joe sixpack, some of them my redneck buddies, find out that they won't be getting thier new movies any more, there will be hell to pay. Around here people have been known to mail road kill if they think they are being screwed. I don't have a cheap ass dvd player myself , but I imagine that I will postmarking a dead goat for someone myself.
Spoken like someone who isn't a parent. It's really amazing those that don't think they can tell those of us who do the best way to raise thier children.
Children raises with a good religious background can have strong moral teaching that will guide them for the rest of thier lives. I just hope that I teach my children right so they grow up to be good strong agnostics just like I am.
Whats wrong with running screen inside of xterm windows? I do it all the time. thirty termnal windows with nine virtual sessions in each one. Now that is... well I'm not sure what the hell that is.
No you don't. Plasma TV's are junk. They go dim after a few years and you can't play games on them because they are susceptible to burn in.
If you must have a big ass tv you best bet bang for buck is still a rear projection. If you must hang something on the wall the best thing to do is put a 100 bucks into a walmart special and wait for the price of LCD's to come down.
I'll agree with that. When I think of none Japanese Anime parts of me start hurting that shouldn't be hurting. When people blanch at the thought of anime going main stream I think they do so only because it's not main steam in their country yet. You have to remember that anime has been main stream in Japan for the last 30+ years.
I really can't stand that crop of crap that I see on TV ether. I get sick when I see crap like pokemon and, shudder, yu-gi-barf. All that shit is nothing but 30 min commercials to sell over rated card games.
By the way if your a true anime freak but get sticker shock when your in the store I would recommend you check out Netflix. They have an anime section to die for. They even have some of the obscure stuff that I've never heard of like Lain and Twelve Kingdoms. Well they where obscure to me.
Like it or not, and someone doesn't, he does have a point. We crawled in bed with the oil pirates because we had no choice. In the future it would be in our best interest to mind who we do business with. We need to take in to account all aspects of a culture when we do business with them, their government policies, the stability of the government, and their religious practices.
Figures it would start to get modded down. This is/. after all. People here rarely like to have their world view challenged. It's easier to hide problems than it is to address them. This is the same logic that power that be hide behind. Bury the problem instead of dealing with it.
Then you sir are a fool, and the worst kind of fool. One who's views have been shaped for them by liberal media and whining of a few minorities that throw up the race card when it suits them. No, your comments don't piss me off. The ramblings of fools rarely do.
No, Black people living today are not owed and apology or reparations from anyone alive today. Under that logic the Egyptians owe the Jews an apology and reparations for slavery. I suppose that you think that apology should be engraved on the pyramids too. (Yeah, I know, addressing the none fools here, that the pyramids where not built with slave labor but my point is still valid.)
So by your logic since the Black where treated bad in the past by people that for the most part are no longer alive, it is fine for them to return the favor to White people today? White people that had little or nothing to do with the mistakes of the past? Tit for tat, good for the goose is good for the gander. My, what an enlightened society you live in.
Didn't go slaughtering White people ether? You need to read some of your history because some of those events did happen. That was one of the minor reasons the Klu Klux Klan was formed. To stop freed Blacks from seeking revenge on their former White masters. Granted, the KKK did more harm than good but that is one of the reasons that it was formed. You just have to dig really really deep to find that out.
I think I'm through wasting my time with anonymous posts from cowards to afraid to post with a name. Since you are to lazy to use proper grammar and a spell checker I think it's safe to assume you are to lazy to look up or think about anything I've told you. No, your kind when presented with well informed arguments that don't "jive" with your narrow view of the world you tend to start frothing at the mouth and spouting nonsense. You insult instead of challenge with logic.
No sir, you are a lost case and not worth my time. Like trying to teach a pig to sing, it just waste my time and annoys the pig.
Worst post in the history of Slashdot? Somehow, I don't think so. You apparently where not here during the penis bird post or the trolling by the Gay Nigger Association of America . Besides, that post has been mod'ed up to +4 Informative so far. Looks like more people agree with me than they do you.
I'm not sure exactly what you are calling absolute bullshit but I know that Kamau Kambon speech wasn't bullshit. It happened, I have a copy of the video sitting right here on my desktop. That evil sack of shit was dead serious about killing every White person on the face of the planet. Where is your indignity there? William Bennett made an absurd comment and in the next breath he stated how absurd it was.
As for the problems that Black people face everyday, who's fault is that? Bill Cosby came right out and said who's fault it was. To poorly paraphrase him, there are people in the civil rights movement that are looking around and asking what the hell happened?
Personally I don't care about slavery, it has no bearing on what happens today. That was a 150 years time to get over it. Segregation and Jim Crow did happen and it was only 50 years ago. But you know, maybe its time to get over that too. Both events where unfortunate but they are in the past, time to start looking to the future.
There we are the response I was waiting for. Someone gets angered because the evidence doesn't support what he believes. Okay, yours so smart, where is multiculturalism working? France? No, I don't think so. How about the Middle East? No the Jews and the Palestine's are to busy trying to kill each other. I got it, its working great in Africa, the great mother land. No, not really, the Muslims and the Christians are to busy killing each other. If you replace Hindu with Christian you get the same thing in India.
I got it, its working in the Orient. The Land of the Rising Sun is one big melting pot of multiculturalism. No, not really. Japan is a closed society, really one race, one culture and one belief system. As a rule you can come and visit but you will never really be one of them. I won't bother with the Chinese and Koreans.
But it's really working great in America right? Then that is the reason we have people such as David Duke and Kamau Kambo living among us. If we where one big happy group of people we wouldn't have people like that. So your so smart, where is this multicultural paradise that I should pull my head out of my ass about.
Speaking of crying victim, in America what group of people seems to be doing that the most? If multiculturalism was working here one group wouldn't be doing that would they?
I think it would be in your best interest to get thy head out of thy own ass first. Resorting to name calling is the mark of a small mind, doing it behind an Anonymous pseudonym is the mark of a coward. My mind is wide open. I recognize there is a problem and something needs to be done about it.
But let me guess, you are one of these people who wants to see all cultures and people come together as one. A world where everyone looks the same, no black people or white people, just one race of brown skinned mutts. No thank you. I for one want a world of color and diverse cultures. I want to go to a park and see beautiful black children and white children playing together. I'm just smart enough to realize that you can't force cultures and religions together and hope for the best. Since the races seem to follow along religious and cultural lines you can't just stick races together ether.
You know, I really can't find much fault with your logic there. Still it would have been nice if just one Black in a position of power would stand up and call Kamau a fucking nut job. Maybe old Jessi Jackson or Al Sharpton could come out and put Kamau in his place. I doubt it will happen, but it would be nice. Heaven help us if a White would to stand up and call for the elimination of the Black race on national TV. Then the shit would really hit the fan.
It doesn't matter that Kamau is just another radical wingnut, what he said was wrong and evil. Just because he is Black no one has dared to say anything about it.
Now then, you are aware before he became chancellor of Germany Hitler was just as much a nobody as Kamau is. In fact Hitler was doing time in prison before he went on to become the chancellor of Germany. Where ones status in life today is usually has little bearing on where you will be tomorrow.
But then again Hitler was a young man while in prison and had plenty of time to plan his evil activities. Fortunally, Kamau is an old man, hopefully he'll probably drop dead before he gets any real power.
Yes, eugenics isn't something to make light cracks about, but it was a light crack passed in jest. Kamau Kambon comments about genocide are not light cracks passed in jest. This evil man is deadly serous about killing every White man, woman, and child on the face of the planet. William J. Bennett at the least should be made to apologize for his comments; at the most he should be fired from his position. Kamau Kambon should be locked up in a prison some where or chucked in an insane asylum. William Bennett is just wrong, Kamau Kambon is evil.
Sixty years ago a man stood up and said the same things that Kamau Kambo said. This man used the same words as Kamau Kambo said, the final solution to all the problems. This mans words led to the extermination of 6 million living souls and plunged the world into 5 years of darkness that lead to the deaths of over 50 million people.
Where is the outrage over what Kamua Kambo said? I noticed that you're response was over what Bennett said, not what Kambo said. Why is that? I imagine that like so many other White Americans, including myself, we have become accustom to watching what we say when it comes to criticizing other races say, not matter how repugnant.
No, multiculturalism isn't working just fine in a America. The only reason you think its working is possibly because you ether haven't been exposed to its failures or you are simply not aware of them. If multiculturalism was working you wouldn't have problems of White flight which is a direct cause urban blight in places like downtown Detroit and other cities. Blacks start to move in and Whites move out, taking their money and their business with them. Whites simple,as a group don't, want to live next to Blacks and I've heard plenty of Blacks say they same thing.
Here in America the most discriminated people are White Americans. A White person can't even make a joke about racial problems with being branded a racist. You bring up concern about a "person of color" you risk losing your job, friends, and even your family. For instance radio talk show host William J. Bennett makes a crack about aborting Black babies to low the crime rate and he is burned at the stake by the media. While this evil sack of shit, Kamau Kambon, makes a speech on live tv about exterminating White people off the face of the planet and no one says a thing. One man because he is White gets hanged in the press, the other Black, gets cheers. Yes, people cheered and clapped when he said that.
No, multiculturalism isn't working just in fine in America. It just hasn't reached as bad here as it has in France. In France and most of Europe there is no more room for the races to separate, while here in America there is still plenty of room. Once that room runs out though.
By they way I just want to put out there for thought that right now the most discriminated race in America is he White race.
Come on people, stop evading the question. It is a valid one, can someone of color ever really be French? You people don't want to admit it but the practice of multiculturalism is failing miserably. You can't just take people of different cultures, religions, and languages, toss them together and expect them to live peacefully. It won't happen.
These people that are rioting need to be living in their own lands, with their own cultures, and their own people.
He's not asking to have his papers reviewed, he's asking for millions of dollars in funding.
So? I'm not saying we just write the fucker a check just yet. We check his shit, and see if he has some solid ground. These fuckers over here are asking for a few billion on something we are pretty sure won't work. This dude is asking for a few million on something that might not work, but a few million would be well spent if it did.
Hell, cut it out the millitary budget. Them dumbasses can hold a bake sale for a new damn bomber.
The only question to be asked is: "Can Lerner's fusion method be verified, and is it viable?"
Damn straight there. Who cares is the guy is fucking loonball about one thing. Review his papers, if it looks good lets light the fucker and see what happens.
Sounds like a good reason to come out of the UN to me too. With that we could start bring some our troops home that are protecting foreign soil due to UN commitments. Not Iraq or Afghanistan, but South Korea, Japan, and a good part of Europe. I'm not sure that we need to be protecting Europe but Japan and South Korea wouldn't like for the US to take its troops and go home. I imagine that Taiwan would have a few fit less nights too.
Hell, I remember a few years ago a lot of people stated protesting our presents down in South Korea. "Yankee go home" was what they said. Well, the US said, "okay." I believe we made plans to move some 30K troops out of South Korea. Boy, did the tune over there change real damn quick.
Listen, the only reason that the UN wants control over the Internet is to control it. Once that control is established there will be rules to come on what it can be used for. Right now you can pretty much use the internet for what ever you want to.
I imagine you will first see rules on what can and can't be said since freedom of speech is the most powerful est tool that the internet has to offer. You already have countries like Israel, Germany, and France trying to censor the net. And these are "freedom" countries. Imagine what will happen when totalitarian countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and China get a hand at running the net.
Lets not forget the history of some of these countries. China censors what their citizens can say or read. We read about that on Slashnut all the time. A few years ago France forced Yahoo and EBay to shutdown auctions of Nazi items. As untasteful as dome of those items are I don't think its anyone's business what I sell or buy in my own country.
Participation in the internet is not mandatory nor is it a right. If you don't like the way the internet is run in your country the by god pull the fucking plug. Fact, the internet was designed and implemented with in the US as a artifact of the cold war. All most everything that has to do with the internet was designed and built here in the US. The rest of the world is on our net because we want them there.
For better or worse the internet is ours, US. If you don't like it, please feel free to pull the plug and make your own.

They are to stupid to figure that out. Anyone got any clues on cracking this bitch so we can get on with the show?
Good lord what ignorant dumbasses have taken over. Once upon a time you could wrap a joke in complex humor and people could find it.
Whoosh, right over your head.
Spoken like someone who isn't a parent. It's really amazing those that don't think they can tell those of us who do the best way to raise thier children.

Anime, just like everything else, obeys Sturgens Law, 80% of everything out there is crap.
