Another distinction I find between anime and cartoon is that anime, overall, have more of a storyline compare to cartoon (of course, that seems to be changing).
Unfortunately for commercial torrent, they will HAVE to expect leechers. The general feeling is that you paid for it, and yet you distribute for them without having any sort of reward, of course few would stay on and help distribute. Free fansubs have a lot of people help with seeding is the mindset that since we're getting this for free, we're somewhat obligated to help out with our bandwidth.
You should be modded up for your daringness to go against the tide (meant as a compliment, don't take this in other way).
The only real beef I have with US releases are quite a lot of the dubbing (... sounds... freaky..., except for a few which are pretty good), and to some small extend the ugly subtitle (not in content, but in its presentation, big and green). That and those damn idiots that changes the show (who's the one that released Cardcaptors in US... I was like OMFG WHAT DID THEY DO?).
They're only distributin the promotional video. They don't really much care who's doing the distribution (and it saves them money too). Its kinda like video game companies distributing demos through bittorrent.
1 and 5: Have a popup that reminds you that you're about to send personal info over, with cursor defaulted on No (advertiser won't want to waste money because you are not interested. And I think pissing off their customers is not a good idea).
2, 3 and 4: Advertisers will check for addresses, and only send one to said address per commercial (meaning, no thirty brochure for a car you saw on TV).
Also if you read the article, said info involves a brochure and not e-mail currently.
Hm... I think that would be a good idea. A better way to rate shows then the Nielson ratings (if they're still using that). That way, good shows won't be smacked.
Of course, this could be open to abuse by a certain group.
Actually, the more correct analogy is asking an avg joe to see whether they like your lawn-mower. Using homemakers to rate the suitability of the game for certain age is a good idea, since they're the one who'll be around their kids the most. Further more, they don't actually play it, its merely a video compilation of the game (more like watching someone play video game).
They want animations on the keyboard. Imagine allowing the E-Mail icon to do some animation when you got e-mail. Or an IM button that allow you to maximize and minimize IM boxes at your whim (and flashes, or something when you got new message). Etc...
The first study, listed in the main article, looks into the economic of producing. And it is true, the economic value of ethanol is less then the economic cost of producing.
The second study, which you listed, focused mainly on the physics aspect of ethanol production. Which mean the amount of energy contained in ehtanol produced by said process is higher then the amount of energy being used to produce it.
We in Texas are not Raving Loonies. Those term should be refered to people living on the East Coast and West Coast. Specifically people in DC and California.
It still costs more to recycle, but people are still doing it.
Not true, at least not until you factor in the landfills needed to store said trash or the generally pollution caused by burning said trash (invalidating the surrounding area for any use what-so-ever), it's actually cause the same, and sometime less. Aluminum is, however, the only recyclable that's has an immediate cost benefit.
... such an irony. Its like advocating for death penalty and finds yourself in a electric chair with the executioner asking you "Medium Rare or Well done?"
Actually, his words was "My wife was not a clandestine officer the day that Bob Novak blew her identity." this could be interpreted in 2 ways. 1. She's no longer an operative BEFORE she was outed. 2. She was an operative BEFORE she was outed, but lose that status immediately once she was compromised.
The fact that her husband cannot said whether she was a covert op before being outed lends more credibility to the #2 interpretation.
No, the fact of the matter is that.... 1. The fact that she was a covert agent was classified info. 2. There's not "in fact" that she hasn't been a covert agent. She might still be one because the fact the a covert agent's NOC/Covert status is still classified after the no longer has those status.
The bug appeared on July 8th only a week ago on his blog. So the well-known and well-publicized part of your argument is questionable. Second, the last patch from Drupal is dated in June 29th, 2005 as of this writing (check their website, Drupal.org), which means there's NO patch available. Their only fixes being disabling the comment section, which might be unacceptable due to the nature Spread Firefox operates.
So stop jumping into conclusion. At least they publicizes their attacks. Imagine all those websites you visited by company, how do you know if they got hacked and they never told you?

Well, just as there're people who hates all book. There'll be people who hates all anime.
But they're a very small minority. Pathetically small in fact.

Sounds like a good idea. Although said credit need to be scaled for the fact that you're just a redistributor.
Something like a credit ratio of 4:1 or 2:1 (equivalent of buy 4 or buy 2 get 1 free). Scaled according to filesize.
Hm... didn't know that.

I remember those two mails, ROFL.
Anyway, I used your sig a while back. Gotta love Mythbusters. It was (and is) my favorite quote.
The other one was... forgot thte exact wording.
"This show is like 4 minutes of science and then 10 minutes of me hurting myself." - Adam Savage
Because most music currently involves heavy metal and rock bands. And reduction in sound quality is negligible.
Jokes aside, most people aren't audio-philes, so most people can't tell the difference or care about it.
PS. Ripping CDs should be fair-use. If it wasn't for the idiotic DMCA, it still is.
They're only distributin the promotional video. They don't really much care who's doing the distribution (and it saves them money too). Its kinda like video game companies distributing demos through bittorrent.
Ah... Bandai. The only source of US localized, legal anime that I actually like. I think there're a few others... not sure which thou.
Actually there's several ways around these.
1 and 5: Have a popup that reminds you that you're about to send personal info over, with cursor defaulted on No (advertiser won't want to waste money because you are not interested. And I think pissing off their customers is not a good idea).

Well, looking at this list...

I think the following should be added.
Amputee fetishism - aka blowing them to pieces
Crush Fetish/Crush Fetishism - the best way to use cars.

Apparently I ran a fouled the 250 word limit. The original says the following
"Welcome to US, a place where you can easily buy enough major firearms to wipe you your neighbourhood but a few little fireworks are banned."
It's a cynical response to the ban on fireworks during July 4th.
USB supplies 4~5V at maximum of 500mA, so the keyboard might be stretching it.
They want animations on the keyboard. Imagine allowing the E-Mail icon to do some animation when you got e-mail. Or an IM button that allow you to maximize and minimize IM boxes at your whim (and flashes, or something when you got new message). Etc...
Let your imagination run while.
Perhaps the keyboard could detect the prompt "Press any key to continue..." and replaces every key that matches it with the word Any.
Actually both study is correct.
The first study, listed in the main article, looks into the economic of producing. And it is true, the economic value of ethanol is less then the economic cost of producing.

I know about public crypto. But in this situation, it will work since the communication is not using assymetric crypto.
