The only times I've seen o'reilly "give someone the last word", he lets them talk for 30 sec and then after they're off the show he counters their arguments. This does not seem like the last word to me, though I must admit, I don't watch o'reilly often.
But even if a work goes off copyright, it only becomes free as in beer. We don't get to see the source of it. As oppossed to the GPL where the creator(s) still maintain copyright.
Agreed. Prof Boneh is an absolutely excelent lecturer. I'm taking 255 from him right now, and I actually feel bad every time I have to miss class and watch it online.
They should remove it for the same reason they remove those big bulky things that set off the alarms--they're selling you the _CLOTHING_, not the stuff they stick on it for their own benefit. I'd like to see what would happen if you went into a store an purchased a piece of clothing and demanded they give you that thing because it was _YOUR_ property because _YOU_ paid for it.
Having lived in Japan for 6 months, I can totally agree. I had very limited internet access, but I had the equivalent of IM on me at all times. If I didn't have my keitai on me I didn't know where or when my friends were meeting. It was like not having AIM/ICQ/email is here in America as a college student.
I just watched the flash demo on their website. Their demo was all about being able to link up your data on various websites. Their example was linking your airlines account to a rental car account. This really just sounds like improved data mining couched in convenience to the consumer.
Name one example. To the best of my knowledge, Hollwood has yet to "do" anime, despite the fact that a number of projects (Akira anyone?) are currently pending.
Call me a purist, but I have yet to hear a dubbing that I like, and that includes Miyazaki's works. And frankly, I'd kill myself if I had to watch Dragonball in something other than the native Japanese. I guess when I said hollywood, I meant American producers in general. Thus things like Transformers (a very obvious bite of popular Japanese series like Gundam, Macross, etc) count.
Man, I just can't but help thinking "sellout" when I read that article. Kato says he'll leave artistic control to the film professionals. Ouch. I don't like the way hollywood does anime. =(
I always found that a little rubbing alcohol did the trick. Get a tissue, pour the alcohol on it, and rub it lightly onto the metal connectors on the cartridge.
At first I thought this was just working 'cause it was cleaning the thing, but I found that I had to do it over and over to the same cartridge every time I wanted it to work. So I figured maybe it helped make the connections. It's been a while since I did any chem, tho... does anybody know if rubbing alcohol would help conduct?
They really need to give this one a good acronym. Because really, PCFVGSAV is rather hard to say. I mean, look what a good acronym did for the PATRIOT act.
Definitely agreed. Actually, the quarter that the tech bubble burst, enrollment in CS courses here at Stanford dropped by almost 1/3! And I must say, if I didn't love CS, it would be one of the most boring things I could possibly think of to major in.
If there are 1 billion assholes in the world, then about 1 in 7 people are an asshole, world-wide. This is obviously less than 20%. What this _acutally_ implies is that Ebay users are more likely than non-Ebay users to be assholes.
Howabout midori-iro (green), hai-iro (gray), daidai-iro (orange)... should I go on? Technically, these are nouns, not adjectives, but they are perfectly descriptive colors and can be used as noun-modifiers just like the ones you've listed. And if you want to argue semantics even more, one you listed, cha-iro (brown), is a noun, as well. Just because you don't know something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
And frankly, the whole "tea-colored" thing is a bogus argument. Japanese word entomology is much easier to trace sometimes because rather than Latin and Greek roots like English, Japanese has Chinese characters as the roots of many of its words. Many English words happen to be made from shorter roots, suffixes and prefixes, but this does not make them any less real or expressive than any other words, and the same holds for Japanese.
This is the whole point of the paper, though. Users are idiots so we have to compensate for that fact or they'll ruin even the most _technically_ perfect encryption scheme.
If you read the article you would have noticed that this is what they did. Don't remember the exact numbers, but they said it was something like $2.67 or a song, $50 for a game, etc. The users were not charged a flat 14k a piece the way the headline seemed to imply, and actually the article said that the user who was charged the most was actually on the order of $13,500 or so.
Now whether these were _provable_ downloads is a much different story, indeed!

Dude, I was so pissed about the red tint. I picked up the DVD when I was living in Japan, and I watched it, and it's _totally_ noticable.

Actually Carbon is just C, so the original post works.

Heck, it doesn't even look like their spokesperson wants to be wearing their clothes.

Actually, what about interference from RFC 1149 network (a physical layer network run over trained pidgeons)?

Umm... it means 50 million yen. Where a soda costs 120 yen from a vending machine. No, it really translates to about $450k.
Indeed, MS has implemented every tiny fault I could ever think up!
Yeah, except that smoking was listed as one of the risk factors...

And maybe Kirk can run into it while it tries to protect it's eggs. And then William Shatner can go on to consider _this_ one his favorite episode.

Yeah, except that Kazaa has crap for Japanese music. I can't even find half the songs on the top 10 lists, let alone the top 100 lists!

Nothing wrong with dating yourself. The dinner conversations are somewhat one sided, though... =)
