So just to review, a couple of editors either: A) Get a hard on from someone on Buffy and thereby allow crap like this through due to their infatuation, or B) Are 13 year old girls and thereby allow crap like this through due to their infatuation.
Or, just freaking maybe, C) BTVS is a show with a massive Nerd following that cares about this announcement.
Skim though some of the non-flamebait threads on this topic. If personally you don't care for the show, fine whatever. However, to dismiss it's fans as "hopeless, cronic Victoria Secret catalog masturbating nerds" who are horndogs for Gellar is nothing more than rank stupidity and yeah, you deserve to be bitchslapped for it.
I mean seriously, everyone knows it's All About Willow...
The same idiot that allows this story in is probably the one who's rejected much more relivent stories, at least 10 of which I know I've submitted.
Oh, your precious stories were rejected? Let us all weep openly for this grave injustice. Say, maybe do ya think it was because you're an Anonymous Coward?
I have to say, I really tried to like Buffy. Every season or so, I'd watch an episode or two, just because I knew plenty of people who swore by it, and it never really rubbed off.
Alot of people have that reaction, particularly after the first few seasons. The important thing to understand is that Buffy really doesn't lend itself to occasional viewings. The are simply too many references and in-jokes pertaining to the characters' "histories" and the relationships are very dynamic (if I might crack open my dusty English Lit vocabulary.)
My sincere advice to you, and any other Slaya-haters still reading, is to beg, borrow, or violate-the-copyright-of the first season DVDs. If you can watch the first few episodes and not care obsessively about the characters, then fine, move on with your life. But I was just breaking in a new girlfriend with that disk, and she ended up watching the whole season in one sitting. Now I'm afraid she'll leave me for Alyson Hannigan.
Are you kidding? Samurai Jack is awesome! Dexter's Laboratory is very good too.
Unquestionably... But then all of Tartakovsky's works have a very specific visual style that I can't quite imagine translated to the detail-intensive Star Wars universe. I mean, the guy's a genius and all, and the poster in the article looks relatively un-cartoony, but I can't stop picturing Annikin walking around with Dexter's squeeky-shoe walk cycle.
And an animation like Final Fantasy is one step closer to future motion pictures where you wouldn't know the difference.
Um no. Final Fantasy was the perfect example of how no matter how detailed or painstakingly animated a digital actor is, the human brain is hardwired to recognize it as not real.
From this list is seems apparent that bluetooth doesn't have the bandwidth; even 802.11 might be too slow.
Too slow how? Each of these devices would have to have at least a little internal memory... Maybe if you were shooting live video directly to the brick, but I would think for nearly any practical use you wouldn't need that much continuous bandwith.
I agree... but I do want a bunch of devices that can talk to each other. I want a digital camera that can send images to my PDA, which can dial my Bluetooth headset phone and access my GPS, and store everything on laptop or other storage device in my bag, which can pump 30+ hours of MP3 back to my headset, and so forth.
Modular convergence seems like the obvious way to go. Sticking everyone in one device is bad design.

Yes, but we've never had 25 tons of H3.

Cartoon Network is not obscure. Get over it.

On my Lost Weekend In Amsterdam I stayed up all night watching Powerpuff Girls in Dutch.
Even if they're the exception to the rule, I would say "Spirited Away" and "Fireflies" are easily as deserving as "The Two Towers."
