Yes. "My Neighbor Totoro" should be on your list. But if you really want to watch something and be completely moved, "Grave of the Fireflies." By far his best work in my option. To bad you can only watch it once.
While being offtopic completely you seem to have a few errors in your post. Here let me help you with those.
I got a five-dollar bill that says when both terms of the highly successful Trump Administration are over, perhaps after he is laid to rest. It will be very doubtful that his kids, since they are rich already, will be coming out with any tell all books. But if they do they will tell what a loving and caring father he was. Got another five bucks that says his daughter will never say he sexually abused her in any way and it will be completely true
I figure after a few rounds of that they'd have little trouble finding peaceful resolutions to more conflicts.messy
Damn Straight. We have to many leaders willing to lead from behind. Let a few congress critters or members of their immediate family spend some time getting shot at. I bet some minds will be changed pretty damn quick about somethings.
While I agree that it is asinine, prison time is a bit over the top.
No it isn't. Time and time again asshats like this use the "corporate card" to shield themselves from shit like this. They get away with all kinds of shit and laugh while hiding behind corporate laws and lawyers. It's more than time we stripped them of assets and send their ass to prison.
We are more than happy to lock up some kid that robs a liquor store for $50 bucks for 20 years. But IF we send one of these fuckers to prison its for 6 months even though they stole millions. Bull fuckign shit. lock them up and let them rot.
But you can't stuff your mattress with cashless transactions and lay on it like old dragon. Also burying cashless transactions in old mason jars in the back yard is a pain in the ass. If you use a card then you have dig them all up every 2 or 3 years when they expire.
There is something to be said about a mattress stuffed with 100 dollar bills. Oddly, I can't think of any good ones at the moment.
By the way what the hell takes you 15 seconds? For transactions under â25 it takes me less than 3 seconds to pay including the delay it takes to authorise
That is been my experience. Most of the time when i pay for something with my phone. If it takes more than 10 seconds its because the cashier is staring at me wondering if I just paid for something with my phone.
Countries currently going "cashless" are not doing it with chipped cards. You pay with your phone. Scan, tap, go.
I've been practically cashless for the last 10 years. I paid for everything with my debit card up until lately. I got the samsung pay app on my phone. I set it up just to try it out to see if it is more convenient. It is and now I pay for practically everything with a tap of my phone. It is faster and it is better.
This is all great... once weÃ(TM)re cashless youÃ(TM)ll love the convenience of negative interest rates or addition transaction taxes or fees.
I respect the fact that some of you like to run your posts through word or librewrite before you post. I do the same thing on some of my longer posts. But when you do post, please make sure you copy and paste as pure ascii text. Slashdot isn't smart enough to figure out smart quotes and other shit word and writer will stick in there.
Do you have a link to where it can be proven that "they all agree that it sucks?" Lets see, I don't think it sucks so therefor you line that "they all agree that it sucks" is clearly wrong on that example alone. I'm sure Bill Gates doesn't agree with you that it "sucks" so there is another example. Oh I know someone we can ask if it sucks. No, never mind he is dead so his option doesn't count. Oh look, here is my cat. I'll ask her. She says "meow." I'm not sure if that is a ringing endorsement of windows or not. I think she was just happy I was scratching her back.
So as you can see your statement, "because they all agree it sucks" is clearly not true. You probably should refrain from making such absurd statements in the future.
Apple go down in flames over this are excessively optimistic
You should spend more time reading and contemplating than posting. No where have I even implied that I'm looking for Apple to "go down in flames." In-fact, I'm already stated in this very thread that it would be a a shame if the Mac was to die off because of this decision.
Adobe used develop its flagship products for the Mac market first. Then they would back port their software to Windows. This is no longer the case. Now they develop for Windows first then back port to Mac, if they even port at all.
This change in policy came about because of the processor switches that the Mac went through. Over the years Adobe support has continued to be scaled back for the Mac and shifted to Windows.
There is a very good chance that if this switch comes about Adobe will pull all its support for the Mac.
There are still plenty of applications that at certain levels are still written in assembly. Device drivers and gaming engines come to mind. It doesn't matter how good your compiler is, nothing beats hand optimized assembly for just raw speed.
I will be a sad day if the Mac finally dies. It's the sole survivor, in name at least, from the golden age of desktops. When Amiga, AtariST, and Macs where all in a head to head battle. Then Windows came in and squished everyone but the Mac. It would be sad to see the Mac survive that only to die because of a stupid company decisions . .
Well all zealots, computer, religious, or otherwise, tend to be pretty dumb people to begin with. People who go to purchase a Mac usually know what they are going after to start with, so an encounter with a Mac zealot tends to be a non-issue. As for Windows, it being the dominate player in the field the zealots are spread pretty thin. That and most windows zealots don't have to preach because to most people windows is a done deal.
This will not be a good move for Apple. It might turn out to be the final nail for apple as a computer manufacture.
Back when Apple was 68K there where lots of companies that developed exclusively for Mac. Then Apple switched to PowerPC this forced all these companies to spend millions to rewrite code to support the new chips. To compound all this a few years later apple switched to x86 architecture. Again sending developers scrambling and spending millions to rewrite old code for the new architecture. The switch to x86 allowed some of these companies to mitigate some of the cost because now they had a code base that shared a common processor with windows.
Because of these processor switches and the millions that had to be committed to rewrite old code send an number of developers, Adobe, looking for another market. Where Adobe used to develop their flagship products for Mac first and Windows as after thought, that is no longer true. Now Adobe and many former Mac companies now develop for windows first then mac as after thought.
With the prospect of another processor switch and having to spend millions now to develop a code base for two different processor lines, I imagine many will simply drop Mac as a native platform all together. They simply will not see the value in supporting a shirking market place with millions of dollars worth of research. Not when they can develop one code base for windows and macs can run it under a windows emulator.

This can be labeled as a troll but there is truth here. I've encountered several people that don't want anything to do with linux because they have encountered some opensource zealot.

Yeah, not by best work. Way to obvious.
Nope, going to be fireplug. Its the only logical shape for the next mac pro.
I predict it will be shaped like a fireplug.

There, fixed that for you.

You know it's condescending bullshit like that which helped Trump win, right?
Yup, and it's a damn good thing he did.

I do the same thing with my bank balance open in a web browser and a spreadsheet. Doing a budget with cash doesn't make this any easier.

Right, because Adobe would never develop
Adobe used develop its flagship products for the Mac market first. Then they would back port their software to Windows. This is no longer the case. Now they develop for Windows first then back port to Mac, if they even port at all.
This change in policy came about because of the processor switches that the Mac went through. Over the years Adobe support has continued to be scaled back for the Mac and shifted to Windows.
