Kreed's Homepage: 2xSaI : The advanced 2x Scale and Interpolation engine
It is totally different for Scale2x, which is the link that was given. 2xSaI was orignally developed by Kreed (a.k.a. Derek Liauw) for the SNES9x Super Nintendo emulator. Oh, and technically, it IS a blurring algorithm, just a smart one.
Animé is animated shows/movies from japan; Akira doesn't have huge freakin eyes, its still animé, and the PowerPuff Girls have HUGE eyes, it ain't animé, its Hanna-Barbera.
The word anime is generally used as meaning cartoons from Japan. It is actually a romanization of the Japanese word for for animation. ANY animated video is, technically, anime.

Watch Cowboy Bebop. The first few episodes are kind of corny, but it gets better as it goes along. It is a very interesting program, kind of like an American cartoon, but more serious. I tend to think of it as an animated novel.
I don't see Sears blaming "pirates" on lower washing machine and refrigerator sales.
Nor are airlines complaining about stowaways causing ridership to be down.
Riiight... how often does somebody stow away on a plane? And how exactly do you pirate a washing machine or fridge? They aren't blaming them because they can't get away with it. With online music, it's easy to make it look like piracy is the one and only problem.
When will they realize, this is what the public wants? WE ARE CUSTOMERS, NOT CONSUMERS. That ruins an otherwise great service....
All they have to do is make a service where you pay a certain amount, 99 cents is fine, and you get a near-CD-quality MP3 or OGG file. No copy-protection or anything. Just like most audio CDs. That's all I want.
He needs to sell you something, no matter how small. Then you can just say you bought this widget from him, and he turned around and used the money illegally.
At September 16th a lawsuit against Lik Sang International Limited and it's directors has been filed in the High Court of Hong Kong by the companies Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft on infringing on copyrighted material and selling Mod Chips or other development and backup devices for the Plaintiffs consoles.
Hmm... sounds like they had to take all the cart flashers down too. And indeed, I can't find the Flash Linker Advance.
This is a fun and safe demo, but needs to be done in a fume hood due to fumes and sparks. Set up a retort stand holding two or three small cans. Cut the tops off of the cans, and fill them half full of sand. Line up the cans over each other, and put a patio stone or similar large flat slab of stone or concrete under the retort. Put a large can filled with sand on top of the stone, under the bottommost can. Over the topmost can put a ring stand with a piece of steel mesh you don't mind losing. Put a piece of paper or tissue on top of this, and put a small pile of thermite powder on the paper. Put on a leather gauntlet, and use a firework sparkler to touch off the thermite (ignition temperature is higher than an ordinary flame provides, a burner flame may detonate the pile, and a sparkler is safer than a powder trail of something easier to ignite). Optionally, put a small amount of something more sensitive on top of the thermite and light that with a burning wooden splint, but a sparkler is both simpler and safer.
NOTE: Do this with the fume hood down most of the way, and for safest results put a blast shield in front of the retort stand. There will be many, many sparks thrown by this demo.
The thermite will burn very brightly yellow-white, and will throw sparks everywhere and give off vapours (probably either water from the paper, or boiling iron oxide that wasn't consumed; I haven't checked). The thermite will burn the paper almost instantly, dumping white-hot molten iron through the rapidly disintegrating screen, through the sand in each can, through the bottom of each can, and down to the large can of sand at the bottom of the retort stand. It may eat through the bottom of this, but at worst will just slightly etch the stone (the stone won't react catastrophically with molten iron, and has enough heat capacity that you certainly won't melt through it and is thick enough that it won't crack through from heat shock).
This demo is quite safe, with proper precautions, and very impressive.
I would just like to point out that magnesium ribbon is useful for igniting thermite.
"bet that time is a hell of a lot cheaper that the multimillion dollar lawsuit you can/might get slapped with."
Unfortunately, that's how Americans think these days. Don't get what you want, sue. Too stupid to follow the instructions, sue, claiming the instructions were too difficult. No matter that you were explicitly warned on the packaging not to use it if you couldn't understand the instructions. No matter that the product was fully in compliance with all safety regulations, and you were using it at your own risk.
It strikes fear into the heart of any truly innovative person, fear that changing the accepted norm will annoy somebody enough to sue. Granted, some things do deserve to be sued over. But it has gone too far. I *highly* recommend reading the book "Galileo's Revenge", by Peter Huber. It's scary. More scary than the US Patent Office. Almost more as scary as the Hollings bill.

I personally have all the MAME 0.61 ROMsets. Still working on 0.62.
And no, I don't own a single cabinet.

You forgot teh ROMz.
Seriously. My collection of arcade games and discontinued video game systems is almost 30 gigs. And I only have ~20% if everything.
But anime is definately by biggest space eater. Cowboy Bebop + Hand Maid May + Gundam + several others.
Actually, they have already ben fixed. Long ago.
DJGPP is for DOS. I suggest MinGW.
custom app compiled with cc on solaris/sparc and aix/xlc was around 45-65% faster than gcc 2.95.1.
GCC 3.2 performs MUCH better.
Nope, that's POKE 53281.
Unfortunately, Mozilla still loads the images, which is the whole point the guy made. Fortunately, this should be changed by 1.2 final.
