I have a whole bunch of "horrible mashups" sitting on my hard drive back at home. And actually I had a hell of a lot of fun making them.
I don't think any of them are worth releasing, and would probably prove to be embarrassing if they indeed got out. However, ACID is fun to play with and allows music to be an interactive experience even if you are not a musician. Call it "musical Legos" and you sum up the whole experience.
Now, if only some cool Open Source person could reverse engineer it, like was done with the similar programs Sonar and Ableton Live, so that I can have this kind of fun without booting into Windows...:P
Yeah, those rock. Dell uses a similar design for its cases but you can't run a Dell with the door open like you can a Mac tower.
I suspect you could put a PC mobo in one of those, but you would probably have to recable everything. And it wouldn't be as neat on the inside because the cabling inside a Mac Mini-tower is specifically designed for it. Much of the wiring is routed under the motherboard.
There have been several instances where Mac Logic Boards have been put into ATX cases. It does work, but to do it right you really have to have to drill new holes in the motherboard tray to accomodate the different hole pattern. That mickey-mouse job that the guy who was featured on The Screen Savers did won't cut it. Plastic cable ties? Please. You need to ground a logic/motherboard to the case in specific places. I'm sure that kludge job had nasty shorting problems.
I was at a CrapUSA and saw a whole bunch of micro-ATX minitower cases which were vague ripoffs of the Apple case. Smokey plastic with beige plastic, internal metal infrastructure, cheaply built with the finest Chinese slave labor. I would have grabbed one but it seems to use a non-standard size power supply...not an ATX, not a SFX-L or SFX-S, but something weird. I decided it would be too much of a hassle to chase a decent replacement down, so I gave it a miss.
And why did someone do this? The classic Geek reason: "Because I can." I think the person who did this would be happier with a nice ASUS A7N266-AA motherboard in there and an Athlon XP with a Thoroughbred core, but there would be nothing remarkable about it. This guy did the mod for the hack value alone.
Up until a few years ago, the only way to listen to Los Angeles Valley College's radio station was to be on campus with a portable radio. It too used a drive-in type transmitter Actually in the case of KVCM it was an AM transmitter. [eew!] When I was on staff, I was hearing "United Artists Cable (East SFV cable franchise) is going to carry us Real Soon Now" but that didn't happen until about 10 years after I left. There was also talk of a "community radio license" (low-power FM stations that have their transmissions restricted to a very small radius) but of course that option never really got a chance. The FCC first proposed that, then withdrew it under pressure from Big Radio.

...already aired Eva uncut. That's how I got my copy of the series...a netfriend dubbed me a copy of the show as it aired. Don't know the callsign off-hand...I live in SoCal. They air Anime on Saturday nights. My Public TV station, KCET, shows old movies on Saturday nights. Usually sucky ones. Bleah!
Lain was dubbed well, and many people actually prefer the dubbed Cowboy Bebop to the subbed one. Pioneer has a decent stable of dubbers and their dubscripts are fairly faithful to the original Japanese.
ADV tends to take liberties, usually to disastrous results, but sometimes those liberties are taken the right way. I am awaiting my copy of All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku OAV DVD with crossed fingers...they actually paid the money to do a dub when originally Banneko was put out as a sub-only VHS 3 tape set.
I have reason for hope, because Excel Saga is being done right...there is a "pop up video" version for the Otaku-challenged and basically the dub is very close to the subtitles. They did suffer casualties...the woman doing English seiyuu duty apparently got nodules on her vocal cords from doing the high-pitched, frenetic voice of Excel.
TechTV actually did right by Lain. I didn't like that they cut the end credits music and recut the opening, but that seems to be pretty much all they did. They even left in the masturbatory reference...something I was sure they'd get rid of.
It would have been so much better had TechTV instead of Cartoon Network gotten Neon Genesis Evangelion. Cartoon Network showing it during the Toonami bloc rather than Adult Swim where it belongs ensures that it will be cut to ribbons.
Basically all you will have left will be Eva vs. Angel fights and the cute antics of Pen-Pen. I suspect that all the dramatic content, and definitely the occult/Gnostic Christian content will be excised. They might even go so far as to rename the Angels "Monsters" or something.
I mean, they don't allow people to say "Sweet Zombie Jesus" on freakin' Futurama! And that's being aired during the Adult Swim bloc!
No, you remember incorrectly. They tested a "Barton" Athlon XP, not an Opteron. And oddly enough, the "Thoroughbred" core Athlon XPs spanked "Barton" happily. "Barton" might be good but megahertz for megahertz the "Thoroughbred" core is more efficient. Power Rating 3000+? I don't think so.
What was actually depressing was seeing that the fast Pentium 4s are a lot better at some tasks than fast Athlons. I love seeing Chipzilla take it on the chin, it's depressing to see AMD get blown away. It seems to go all the way back to the K6-2 vs. P2/P3 conflict...AMD just can't seem to do FPUs right. They seemed to have FPU architecture fixed with the earlier Athlons, but Intel just blew right past them. AMD just doesn't seem to "get it"...FPU is vitally important. You can't skimp on that part of the chip and hope your integer performance pulls you through!
Here's the short version. Oprah Winfrey got dragged into a lawsuit over a show she did where she looked into the possibility of people getting Creutzfeld-Jacob Disease from eating Mad Cow Disease-infected beef. In Texas there is a law on the books, colloquially referred to as the "Veggie Libel Law" which makes it a punishable offense to defame the Beef industry. Oprah prevailed, but she had to spend tons of money and temporarily move her show to Texas to answer the lawsuit.

Actually, if I could get a Linux laptop that did everything my Tibook does, I would. But there aren't any and most of the x86 laptops out there are trash.
Have you ever seen worked with a Dell Latitude or an IBM Thinkpad? Lovely machines, built tough, great stuff. Some of the mini-laptops built primarily for Japanese consumption are also wonderful. However, you have to admit, Apple's laptops have been class acts pretty much from the word go. There have been some cruddy ones like the PB150 (I've got one), and the 5300, but most have been built for strength, capability and style.
Well, there is nothing stoping [sic] you from running Linux on your Tibook, you know.
Yellow Dog Linux will run on any G3/G4 Powerbook or iBook you please, with few exceptions. The TiBooks with the Radeon 9000 Mobility chipset are not supported yet, but I suspect this is only temporary. The question, in the case of TiBooks, is why anyone would want to run Linux on them. Once you get into G4 range, MacOS X is so compelling and works so well any desire to run Linux raises eyebrows. On the other hand, unless you pack it with as much RAM as you can cram most G3 laptops are incapable of running X well. That's where Yellow Dog shines.
I'm in the process of buying a Wallstreet Powerbook G3 from a friend of mine...that's going to dual-boot MacOS 9.2.2 and Yellow Dog. Moof. See you at Starbucks. I'll be the girl in the black mock turtleneck and black jeans with a black beret, sipping a Frappucino. Oh, and checking my email from my still-stylin' Wallybook.
The Videophone has been possible since the 1960s. Why hasn't it become a fixture in our homes? Because nobody likes getting all "fixed up" so they can be "presentable" on the phone. If I'm wearing my grubbies or wearing nothing I don't want to have to get dressed up to make my weekly call to my father-in-law up North.
This is not just a grrl thing...there have been lots of consumer studies about this which have basically made the various and sundry phone companies give up on the idea, even though the meme has been propagated in Sci-Fi even beyond the point where the phone companies all decided it wouldn't fly.
People want their privacy when they use the phone. Voice-only provides a measure of privacy that voice plus picture doesn't.

heavy metal, heavy metal fakk 2, and spawn are the only american comics / cartoons / animated movies i've seen that have any chance of surviving a comparision to japanese anime / manga. maybe there's more, but i haven't run across them.
MTV Oddities: The Maxx (based on the excellent The Maxx comic series by Sam Kieth) and Aeon Flux come to mind. The latter was created and directed by Korean-born, American raised and now if memory serves me right Tokyo expatriate Peter Chung. After little success trying to pitch action animated series to US media, his series "Reign" was finally made by a Japanese company.
Ironically "Reign" will be airing on the Cartoon Network soon...in one of their Anime blocs. Cue the Alannis Morissette...

I thought this was going to be an article about another flaming PowerBook model. This one should be filed under "It's funny. Laugh!"
Absolutely. Pentium-M should be on the desktop too. Particularly in the bitty-box/blade server/rack server market. Imagine something as small and quiet as an EPIA, yet more powerful than Athlon or P4. Say, a gaming computer that is about the size of a 1" looseleaf binder? Or a Pentium-M MythTV box? That would seriously rock.
Come on, Intel. Do it. Centrino for the desktop. I dare ya. I double-dog dare ya.
Oh yeah...any DRM features in Centrino? That's the only downside I can think of.
The last Simpsons episode I found funny was the one where Marge tried to close down the town's brothel. The Simpsons need to be put out of their misery. They jumped the shark 5 years ago. (Yeah they're on the "never jumped" list but they don't belong there) I suppose they are trying to go for some sort of record for longevity but damn, man...give it a rest. Just my not-so-humble opinion.
...are on Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks. Ventura and Firmament, if memory serves me right. If a whole bunch of geeks with defective, rotting, scratched DVDs dropped by and made a stink, (after first notifying The Media) I wonder what would transpire in such a case?;-)
I think the most likely scenario (and this has been discussed to death in the past) would be Microsoft embracing and assimilating FreeBSD in a MS-BSD distro. They have incorporated parts of *BSD into Windows in the past, and they probably wouldn't have any compunctions to do it again. However, when this happens, there will be nothing for the poor "*BSD is dying" troll to bleat about. As if MacOS X wasn't enough evidence that *BSD isn't exactly dying yet.;-)
Look, I am female and feminist and I think that some of the strongest female characters to come out of Sci-Fi recently have been in Sci-Fi anime. Look at Major Kusanagi Motoko, from Ghost In The Shell. She's great. Sure, they have her shedding her clothes to let her chameleon pseudo-skin blend with the scenery...fanservice. But she's tough, she kicks ass, and her formidability is not merely physical, but mental too. There are similar cool characters all over Anime.
A series that is soon to be available again, this time on DVD, is Cat Girl Nuku Nuku. In it, you have some remarkable female characters. Mishima Akiko is the CEO of Mishima Heavy Industries, and her two-woman Administrative Assistant hit squad kick some serious butt too, especially Arisa, the gun-crazy "warrior maiden." One of the sub-plots has to do with Akiko trying to fit into the role of a stereotypical Japanese housewife to get closer to her son Ryunosuke, but coming to the realization that this is not for her. Kicking ass and taking names is.:-)
Yes, Nuku Nuku herself is a kawaii little thing in a Sailor-suit High School uniform. But don't fsck with her either. She knows how to throw down too. And if she's a little fluffy around the edges, don't blame her...she started out her existence as a cat.;-)
Cat Girl Nuku Nuku is coming out on the 10th. ADVision. A brand-new dub joins the subtitled version on the DVD. It's not going to have a lot of goodies like what they are doing with Excel Saga but oh well, at least it is coming out.
One last thing: Japanese pop culture has a lot of violence, sex, and sex and violence co-mingled. However, Japanese civil culture is perhaps one of the least violent the world has ever known. Investigate the homicide rate in Japan, then compare it to the US and Europe. Then get back to me.
One of the other directors confirmed to have directed a segment of Animatrix is Peter Chung, who created Aeon Flux and whose Japanese-produced series Reign is coming to Cartoon Network Real Soon Now. I look forward to seeing his take on the Matrix mythos.
