God, yeah. AOL is bread for the masses, seriously. My friend's dad won't get rid of their stupid slow AOL for nice healthy bandwidth, and I finally figured out why: So many people are just plain scared of the internet, and AOL gives it to them in baby food format. None of the perks, but none of the dangers....
Until someone sets loose a virus on the AOL server...
I want to say Lion king, even though there was an anime called Kimba the white lion that looked a lot like Lion King, I think that's all coincidence.
That's the beautiful thing about Mizyaki's work is it's all original stuff. Lupin 3rd, Grave of the fireflies, Princess Mononoke, Spirited away, and all the other cool stuff he did is not just cheesy sugercoated adaptations of older songs.
Also, fantasia had it's errors as well, as some of the things in it were based on old stories. One thing that really comes to mind is the little tin soldier in fantasia 2000. Sugarcoated all the way.
Miziyaki has shades of gray, and characters that have real dimention, not the cardboard cutouts commonly seen in Disney.
I could go on, but I won't. I'll just say this: Never... NEVER go to disneyworld. Trust me, it ruins disney.
Two towers for best picture. Who DIDN'T see that coming?
I hope spirited away gets best animated picture. That'd really do wonders for getting anime into America, and increasing American awareness. Plus, imoho, Spirited away is the best thing I've seen all year that's animated. I dunno, maybe Disney's losing their touch. (So they have to leach off Miziaki.)
Holy crap! So what you are actually saying here is that starting a school is the solution to all my broadband problems?
Starting a school, going to school/college, sneaking into a school you aren't going to, claming to be a tech guy and that you know what you're doing, going to the library, going to your local radio shack, going over to your in laws' house...
Meh, it doesn't compare to her licking my motherboard. Yes, she licked my motherboard. It's a good thing I wasn't planning on using it.... Then she began nibbling on the edges.
Too bad she's gone now, lol... I could use some tech help about now.
I went to a halloween party as a crazy tech junkie scientist type and I had a motherboard strung around my neck. Well, it looked cool, and it was really functional.
For some reason, all the girls there couldn't get their hands off my motherboard, and they kept on fawning about how it was so big and hard. A friend commented about the reason it was green was I had that string tied around it.
But anyhow, that motherboard was how I met my most recent girlfriend. That's pretty damn functional, if you ask me.
I wonder if I'm the only person who uses old hardware to be functional as pimpware...?

Instant Concert CDs?
·
· Score: 4, Funny
I'm going to a concert soon, and I can just imagine...
Band: "Are you ready!?!"
Crowd: "YEAH!!!"
Band singer: "Ok, well that's cool, but first I've been asked to tell you to turn all your recorders off, because there's a legit way of doing that now.... That benefits us!"
*man in suit walks on stage*
Man: "Ah, I'm with the RIAA and we're shutting that down now, but we'll shoot the next person we see with a recorder out."
I'm suprised they didn't just do some clandestine work behind closed doors, offering to pay some black hats to hack iraq, and blame it on them if necessary. I mean, that could've been what happened with code red.
Does anyone remember when Saddam Hussain wanted to buy all those PS 2s but couldn't get them and had to settle for normal PSs? I wonder what became of them...?
*saddam playing C&C red alert* "Yes! I build nuke now!"
And he just dug himself into a deeper and deeper hole, as his entire palace(s) is probably bugged.
...4 free episodes that will be released on the web. A total of 9 episodes will be availible for purchase on DVD within the next few months.
I think more movie companies should do that with miniseries and stuff, give out the first few episodes for free so they get more exposure. I mean, it's an incredibly smart way of letting people know what the premis is, and it also shows a lot of goodwill on the part of the company. I think I just might buy the boxed set due to this, whereas previously I wasn't really that interested in it, and I think overall there are a lot of people like that.
Of course there are also people who will just dl the first 4 eps, then pirate the rest.:P
Yeah, well, it'll be a cold day in hell when my parents can out hack ME.
The thing is imoho, a lot of kids are a lot more tech savvy than their folks, so perhaps their folks should let off and let their kids have computer time instead of trying to block it.
Or even better, have a good parent-kid relationship so homework gets done AND internet stuff happens, because a lot of the time when parents try to restrict kids internet stuff, especially with netnannys, it's the kids who will win. (imoho, and in my experience.)
Wait, this is the future, so kids would use their psychic powers along with their martian built neural interface to finish their homework in nanoseconds, so it wouldn't matter anyways!
And of course, in the future, Microsoft still runs everything, and Bill Gates is still claming down on people's lives. Bill Gates is the big brother of the future.
All of the computer displays in the future house will be hooked up to a central computer that coordinates their activities. This is critical for broad-based features such as homework lock-down, which parents can use to disable TV, music and other home entertainment until the schoolwork is done.
"That feature's not popular with teens," Heath says.
You know kids would just find a way around that, to hijack the main computer for their own sinister uses while blaming it on gator or something.
Yeah, for a little while the government will use this system. Then Corporations will find ways to use it to their advantage, by making screens change to advertisements when someone checks by, something like pop ups... Or maybe cookies even. Hmm... Retinal cookies...
"Bob, it looks like you just got back from Italiano's diner! You need some pepto bismo? Oh, and why stop at that cheesy fetish shop when you can go to Porn central!"
It's minority report... With cookies... IS THERE NO JUSTICE!
I live in Tacoma, WA, and we have had something similar to the public broadband for quite a while. It's very nice, and I'm glad to see it spreading. I think broadband should be available to all, and perhaps they should ammend the constitution to make it one of the basic rights...
Sorry, This site has been slashdotted and can not handle the connections, try back later.
Damn...
I wonder if anyone's tried posted some complete asshole's sites on/., just to crash their server...
Wait, the spam-king... nm....

NARAS vs. the RIAA
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
"50 million american's can't be wrong."
This is just opening a moral can of worms, if you ask me...
But it's good to see more and more, people getting back against the RIAA.
But what will come if the RIAA dies? What after that? Will it manifest itself in the form of a new P2P program that monopolizes all file sharing (somehow, kinda like fileplanet) and charges ridiculous prices?
Oh, well, anyone who has the ring of power pretty much has admin status on the Plantir.com. Kinda like slashdot, except you get points for simply posting "I HAVE THE PRECIOUS!"

Hmm. If AOL had the bandwidth to support p2p they'd be for it, but since they just plain DON'T....

It's too much talk like that that made her leave me. lol.
I knew they should've had Lore and more with the Romulans! Maybe then she'd still be with me!
and yes, I am blaming Paramount for my breakup. Lol.

I'm suprised more people didn't report leaving AOL due to suicidal, homicidal, or psychotic thoughts whenever they went online...
He may be ugly, but he had excellent karma...
For some reason, bragging and talking about this seems to have a rather adverse effect on my relationships with females... Wonder why...
