  1. Anime in the UK on Want Anime Network on Your Cable System? · · Score: 1
    ...is almost non-existant (scary huh?) I would kill for this - no channels exist in the UK that play any anime shows exclusively and the only shows that are on are Beyblade, Yi-Gi-Oh and Pokemon (scared yet?) admitably Cowboy BeBop is on CNX which is good. There are many UK suppliers of DVDs/Videos but that makes it a very expensive habit. Interestingly check out what happened when small distribution company tried to release some "pornographic anime":

  2. Re:Military Intelligence on PowerBook, Because Lives Are On The Line · · Score: 3, Funny

    So he's in military intel? Isn't this among the most famous oxymorons in existence?

    With "Microsoft Works" coming a close second...

  3. Re:Trying to get noticed by Apple? on Enterprise CTO Switches to Mac OS X · · Score: 1
    " But isn't it funny how most of their users are still using Mac OS 9.x, which is far less stable than WinXP?"

    The only real reason that many mac users are still using OS 9.x is that certain important apps arn't ported to OS X yet (Quark Express, Outlook etc) but that will all change within a couple of months, (or everyone will switch to InDesign and Entourage)

    I disagree about the stability problems - I've had a million problems with XP - a friend of mine installed AOL on his XP machine (He was thourouly duped by their advertising, he wouldn't listen to me...) Basically it crashed everytime he connected to the internet. On another occasion he installed two different virus checker/scanning type programs that conflicted resulting in the machine refusing to boot at all.

  4. Ughh... on Konfabulator: Whatever You Want It To Be · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Not meaning to sound bitter here, but I submitted this story about 5/6 days ago :(

  5. What about universities? on The RIAA and MPAA Target Day-Job Downloaders · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Most (if not all) have bradband connections - and students - no money and in the RIAA's usual target audience - probably download much more music.

  6. Remapping on Keyboard Layouts for the 21st Century? · · Score: 1

    You could always just remap some of those useless keys to do something else.

  7. Weird move... on Apple Offers Keynote and iLife for Teachers · · Score: 1

    Does this seem like a strange move to anyone else? They are making teachers pay for an incentive to get OSX, which is free anyhow!

  8. Re:owch on Warner Brothers Announce The Matrix: Special Edit · · Score: 1

    Wow you could have given us an extreme sarcasm warning. Who got out on the bitter and cynical side side of bed this morning?

  9. Re:What is the matrix? on Warner Brothers Announce The Matrix: Special Edit · · Score: 1

    IGN have sucked for years. A serious amount of advertisng, and persistant pestering for money. When will these kind of websites realise that this only drives people away?

  10. Re:Proposed email subject lines. on Slashback: Spamnation, Long-Distance, Libel · · Score: 1

    Given the uproar that occur when it was considered that .pro domains would only go to professionals (e.g. doctors, lawyers etc.) I don't think many people would agree with enforced nationality specific domains, especially since they tend to be harder to remember than .com domains.

  11. Re:Apple's involement with ISMA on Slashback: Spamnation, Long-Distance, Libel · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you check out ISMI's members page then you'll see it lists Apple as one of six 'sponsor members'. Futhermore if you look at the board of directors page then you'll see that each of these companies has one board member.

    So presumably Apple controls 1/6 of ISMI - so they'd need to get at least 2 of the other companies on their side to oppose DRM in MPEG4 sucessfully.

  12. Windows Media Player for Mac OS X on When Appliances Revolt · · Score: 1

    Ok, I spend ten minutes downloading windows media player for Mac OS X and the peice of crap freezes while installing. Quicktime should release an update to play windows media.
