Funny, but subtitles weren't exactly the kiss of death for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and it got an extremely wide theatrical release with the film subtitled in a foreign language. Also, practically over half of "Once Upon A Time In Mexico" was in Spanish and subtitled, and that movie did well at the box office too. True, Miyazaki-san's work most likely won't get a release as wide as those films, but, we'll see.
Besides, if they lose money from the theatrical release, the difference will be made up with the release on DVD.
Well, there was that Shogo: Mobile Armor Trooper division or whatever it was... I only played the demo but it looked interesting. I can't find a copy though. The game had you playing both in a FPS mode, as well as, for certain levels, piloting a Anime-style mecha.
Well, it's written and put out by Studio Gonzo. They did the same thing for Blue Sub 6. I know it was only 4 episodes, but The Terminator had more exposition than Blue Sub 6 did!
But what about the Hummer and the Fat Boy? Unless they were planning a promotional cross-country tour that they never announced, I can't think of a reason for the Hummer and the Fat Boy.
Not exactly true. John Romero's part of Ion Storm is as dead as Origin is now, if not deader.
On the other hand, the part of Ion Storm that brought you Deus Ex, Warren Spector's part of the company, is the part that is still alive and well (and coming out with Thief 3).
No... pulling a nerd muscle would be suggesting a level combination for the team-up person.
Say... a Level 70 Moderator/Level 41 USENET Flame Warrior, for instance.

If Donald in Mathmagic Land is not available on DVD or VHS, how do the teachers get copies?
It's called a "film projector".
Anyway, I remember, back when the Disney Channel aired a lot of old Disney cartoons and didn't have any commerchals, they were showing Donald in Mathmagic Land at least once a month. It's a shame I didn't tape it.
Roman aqueducts built without modern engineering skill/techniques
Just because they weren't using modern structural engineering techniques, doesn't mean they didn't use engineering. They had math too, even though they didn't have the number "0".
Mayan calendars built without telescopes/calculus
One can observe the stars and determine the length of a year without using telescopes, by using other instraments, like the sextant or an equivelant device. Likewise, just because they didn't have calculus as we know it, doesn't mean they weren't able to use some form of mathamatics to calculate how many days there are in year.
RTFA. They didn't storm in SWAT-Team style. More like the infamous FBI raid on Steve Jackson Games.
However, this does raise a couple concerns in my mind. First, what is keeping these corporations and industry associations from planting evidence? Second, how long is it until industries start getting closer and closer to gaining law enforcement powers (instead of the RIAA slapping you with an lawsuit, they slap you in cuffs and haul your ass off)?
The future is looking a little more Gibsonian (and I don't mean in a good way).
Um... you know that 1/5 is less than 1/3, right? If they had 1/3 of the bandwidth on the Internet and we controlled 1/5, thent hey wouldn't have to worry about being/.ed.
Well, the thing is that in CA (as has been mentioned elseware), the gang-bangers have been hanging out in cyber-cafe's because they're open late. If members of two rival gangs decide to hang out the same cyber-cafe, things can get ugly.
I also recall hearing on an episode of "Fresh Air" on NPR last year (or was it the year before that, anyway) that the gangs that have been moving into Suburbia have started recruiting more girls, and recruiting geeks, as geeks know how to get bootleg software, movies, music, and so on, which the gang members either use themselves, or sell for cheap.
Well, with cyber-cafes, since (at least here in Oregon), you have to pay for the time you use on the computer (generally an hourly rate), those prices can add up. So, unless you're using cyber-cafe's for network gaming, it might actually be less expensive in the long run to get an el-cheapo Dell with a CD-R/RW drive (Dell has one for $599 with a $100 mail-in rebate), and a broadband connection for reading E-Mail, surfing and so on. Plus, you can get your pr0n without getting in trouble.
However, suppose that physical size and cost are also important factors. The $250 player may have less space, but it also costs less then the $250 one, and doesn't take up as much physical space. Also, since it uses Flash memory, it doesn't skip when you're jogging, unlike the full sized iPod.
Now, assuming that the price of $299 as given for the MuVo2 is the actual price, you're getting a comparable MP3 player, that's slightly physically larger, and has the same storage capacity as the MuVo2, but it's $50 cheaper. Sure, you aren't able to read.WMA files, but, instead you can read Apple's propriatary format, so if you're using iTunes, you have a compatible player, without having to burn the songs you want to carry around to Audio CD, then rip them as MP3s before transfering them to your device.
On the other hand, and the MuVo2's price is actually $199 dollars, then that would be the better buy, as it can read the more commonly used WMA files, costs less, and is physically smaller, with the same storage capacity.
True, but, Al Pacino didn't play Vito in The Godfather. However, Sean Astin, since he was in the first 2 and didn't get a nomination, and Andy Serkis didn't get a nomination for TTT, I don't think they're elgible.
Unfortunatly, there wasn't any particularly extrodinary anime getting a theatrical release during 2003-2004. There was Cowboy Bebop: The Movie and I think that was about it. Though, you think they would have given it a nomination anyway, just to give them an even 4 nominations for Best Animated Feature.
The difference is if you or I had hacked into those systems and read those files, we wouldn't have been supposed to be there in the first place. The Republicans, on the other hand, work there, have a right to be on that server, and the files in question were left open to them, albeit on accident.
Now, if the Republican party had bribed the technician to leave that area open on "accident", then that would have been soemthing else entirely, and people would be going to jail. It's not illegal, just unethical.

This story is a little old, but back in 1994, Siegel was interviewed by K. K. Campbell. She's just a little out there. You can read the interview here
Well, if you're going to get into heavy monstrosties of computers, why not mention the Osborne
Well, wasn't Max Payne (and Max Payne 2) published or co-published by Rockstar?
But what about the Hummer and the Fat Boy? Unless they were planning a promotional cross-country tour that they never announced, I can't think of a reason for the Hummer and the Fat Boy.

You're forgetting all those users in the interim Iraqi government.

In short: your statments are irrelievant.

And yes, I know that was a joke.

Why vote for the lesser evils!
Hm... when was Spirited Away released in Japan?
It's called "Credit Cards". Unfortunatly, teenage girls aren't particularly taught to use credit wisely by the media.

Frankly, I was disappointed to see that The Last Samurai didn't get a best picture nomination.
