  1. Re:No surprise there. on Japanese Anime Industry In Danger Of Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    I'll add a few more titles because I personally don't care for a few of those you listed.(No offense intended, differing tastes)

    Grave of the Fireflies and Gunslinger Girls I really liked. Noir I was iffy on, a lot enjoyed it. Princess Monokoku(Sp?) was good also.

    I'm more into the comedy side of anime, if that's your cup of tea I'll suggest a few.

    Love Hina - Pretty copied story, but still entertaining.

    Please Teacher and Onegai Twins - Same

    Excel Saga - Pretty insane anime, I liked most of it.

    FLCL - Insane, I've watched the 6 episodes a couple times and I'm still confused. It's pretty funny though

    Full Metal Panic 1 and Fumoffu - Great series, I really suggest picking this one up

    Burn up W and Burn up Excess - Good series, and the jiggly counter makes a good but rough drinking game

    Ai Yori Aoshi and Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi - Romance/Comedy series, I really liked this one. If you don't mind the romance stuff it's great

    Full Metal Alchemist - Good series, still being shown

    Tenjou Tenge, Midori No Hibi, Bakuretsu Tenshi - All still airing in Japan, available fansubbed

    I could go on for awhile...

  2. Re:Fansubs? HA! on Japanese Anime Industry In Danger Of Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the fansubbers are really amazing. I'm surprised they don't getp icked up to translate for the Japanese companeis. Often times after watching the fansub and the imported DVD's with subtitles, the fansubbing is quite a bit better.

    I also find the Anime scene compeltely different from Warez, etc, scene. A lot of the anime is only dubbed before it's available in North America and as soon as it gets licensed it stops getting circulated as much. Granted there are those who still pirate licensed work, the fansubbers and distributers really push for the people to buy it when it's available instead of the "If you enjoy this buy it, but we'll still keep giving it to you free and make it easy to get"

  3. Re:Anime outsourced? on Japanese Anime Industry In Danger Of Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    Insightful? I could be wrong but isn't his wife that owns the big piece of the stocks?

    And why shouldn't Heinz have factories in other countries? They do sell that item in those countries. That's like telling Mercedes to stop making cars in America because they aren't an American company. Lot's of companies produce items in the other countries they sell them to. You want Heinz to only make their products in the United States for the whole world? Not saying that would be bad though...

    I believe Pepsi has that patent, it's the patent they got right after the pantent of "Cooling H2O down until it hardens"

  5. Re:i've done this myself and I offer these tips on LA to Oregon at Mach 9 · · Score: 1

    I've done some of this driving around town in Boise, Idaho. I think it's just really cool to do, just been too scared to put it up and watch the server crash and burn. Also was a bit curious about it showing other peoples license plates, doubt it matters but you never know. It's kind of a nerd thing I do when I look for Wifi...

    If your were Saddam or just another Iraqi General or whatever, which prison would you rather be in? Iran or American? Glow sticks aside, that's probably better then being a prisoner in Iran

  7. Re:I have a distinct feeling... on No $50 iPod Clone From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    1. I don't care what it looks like, it's in my pocket, just needs to be small 2. As long as it doesn't take more then a couple seconds to start a song I don't care if there is a dead goat in the menu 3. That would suck, I wan't it to play all formats.(Does Ipod play ogg and mp3?...) 4. I have XP in a dual boot and on some machines at work 5. Personally I don't need more then a couple gigs, I don't need 12 hours of music to listen to at a single time. Most would be a couple hours. Now that is just me 6. Who knows? Never had a problem with my Handheld that runs a version of Windows.(Granted I don't use it very much at all now that I have a laptop. Infact I hardly carry it anymore) 8. You get what you pay for I guess. I'd be happy with it for $50 as long as it plays songs just fine and doesn't crap out after a week. I don't care what it runs as long as it does what it's supposed to. $50 is cheap enough that if it only lasts 6months or so for me I'd be happy. I like buying new stuff all the time myself. I think this will be great for the people who can't see shelling out near $300 for something that just plays music that you have to buy from Apple.(I could be wrong here? Can you rip CD's and play them on Ipod? If so ignore that.)

  8. Re:It's very fashionable... on Strategy Videogame Upsets Chinese, Gets Banned · · Score: 1

    And I have to pay back 20K in student loans, the only thing keeping me from getting the grants to pay that off was because I checked caucasian instead of african-american. And my friend whos half black half asian drives a dodge viper and has never been pulled over because of his color. He also has about 40k in gold/diamons around his neck and wrists and I've never seen a cop harass him or anything and we go drinking downtown all the time.(Wouldn't it be nice to be a goldenchild and wear 40k?)

  9. Re:We know better than that. on Fix a Troubled Mac · · Score: 1

    My work has 17Windows 2k boxes, 1 Unix, 2 NT, 2 VMS and we have almost no problems with anything here. Our network guy transfer to another site about a year ago and he was never replaced. 13 of the Windows boxes are fairly old(300-600mhz) 4 are almost a month old, the Unix and VMS machines are very ancient, and the 2 NT's are alpha's. The only problems I can think of in the last year, are one virus that was easily removed, a few tape failures and a power supply.

    My boss returned her Mac earlier in the year because of problems she had with it(Laptop, display problems along with other things) I guess this one case means Mac sucks?

    For any case anyone brings trying to prove one side is more reliable there will be another dozen to show the other and so on.

  10. Re:Thinking of Switching to a OSX for a laptop on Fix a Troubled Mac · · Score: 1

    How long have you had it? I've only had to pull the battery on my laptop once in a year when Windows crashed, and never while running Linux. I haven't really ever seen a laptop that wasn't able to work right out of the box. The biggest problem I've seen is that crap software that comes preinstalled. I hate that.

    How often has it happened that someone slipped a gun in someones bag? Very rarely I'd guess. Now think of the people who don't use Mozilla and have popups like mad. Have you ever been looking at something then had a ton of questionable stuff pop up? How happy would you be if you were arrested for something that popped up on your pc?

  16. Re:I don't understand the Army's interest in this on E3 Wrapup Documented · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I personally think it may work for those guys who are just about to finish high school or have been out for a year with nothing to do but play online games. I'd like to see some hard data on it though, if they even ask people if they played AAO when they sign up. It's atleast your tax dollars spent better then more TV ads I think. Atleast you get to play the game instead of a dumb commercial. I wouldn't doubt it at all if some people have signed up after saying, "Holy shit, you mean I can use this same weapon in real life and get paid for it? And I get to move out of mom and dads basement?"

    Like someone else said, put in a bigger then 120GB drive. You can also setup a streaming server, and network drives. Get a wireless connector and you can wirelessly stream movies right off another PC downstairs. I have yet to have a problem with it. Works great streaming mp3's straight to your home theatre too.

    Youc an do it all cheaper then $450. Buy the xbox used/refurbed and save 20-40. Buy a nosolder modchip if you don't know how to solder, I used the Matrix which was cake to install. Literally no solder experience and it took me less then 30 minutes to take it apart and install it. Then harddrive and a new DVD drive if you want. But if your lazy and rich you might be able to get it under $450 by shopping around.

    My handwriting is terrible and as such everytime I sign something my signature usually never looks the same. With all my credit cards I wrote really slowly so it looks nice but when I sign that sheet it looks completely different, yet I have never been bothered. Especially when I'm in a hurry and just sign it with an R and then some squiggly lines. The only time I've had to rewrite my signature was when the pen ran out of ink halfway through at a Subway. Then all I did was retrace it. Kind of scarey.
