I think what we really need is a memory pill that brings back real memories as opposed to made up ones. Too many cases where victims are 100% sure they are identifying their assaulter, and 15 years down the line DNA evidence proves the poor guy innocent.
The industry is tight with numbers and units sold but i would bet that more anime and Magna is sold in the US than in japan.
Maybe anime, though I strongly doubt that. No way for manga though. Just about everybody reads manga in Japan, including business men and office ladies. It probably helps that they have manga that's actually targetted at business men and office ladies. While anime prices are higher in Japan, you can buy a manga volume (tankôbon) for the equivalent of a few USD. Most people who buy them don't collect, but simply throw away after reading unless they really like the series.
The american anime market is larger than the Japanese one? Since when? Anime, aside from Pokemon-a-likes, is still very much a niche market in the States. Take a look at Adult Swim ratings and compare the numbers from Family Guy and Futurama reruns to the anime block.
When a new "top of the line" CPU is introduced, older ones are supposed to decrease in price, right? I really how the price for the 4400+ drops - I plan to purchase one within the month for a new system, and it's been at $497 on newegg for what seems like an eternity now.
I think the idea that "no idea can be dangerous" is pretty damn dangerous itself. Just because "guns don't kill people, people kill people" doesn't make guns safe, and same goes for ideas. Even Discworld'sLeonard of Quirm figured that out eventually.
And anyone remember that episode of the Dilbert animated series where Dilbert get's a job at the best tech company in the world and causes it's destruction by mentioning the concept of a "marketing department" to someone?
I've bought a bunch of stuff from ebay, nothing more expensive than $90. I've been defrauded twice. The first time, PayPal was able to retrieve my money from the seller's account. The second time I got my money back through my credit card (Capital One.) I don't think I'd risk buying a computer or a car though...
So the fact that I woke up with my right hand's thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger (to a lesser degree), and most of the palm numb after spending 22 straight hours typing up my undergraduate thesis was a coincidence then? I was the impression that was a textbook symptom of carpal tunnel.
Already over 20 million PCs worldwide are equipped with a tiny security chip called the Trusted Platform Module, although it is as yet rarely activated.... The TPM chip was created by a coalition of over one hundred hardware and software
companies, led by AMD, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft and Sun.
Does this mean that when I buy an Athlon 64 X2 4400+ chip for my new system, it might come with a TPM just waiting for the OS to activate it?
So where do you draw the line? Don't convicted murderers who have pleaded guilty, turned in their buddies, and got out in 5 years based on good behavior have a right to defend themselves and others? What about mental patients? And why should children be discriminated against by denying them state of the art assault weapons?
Or do I just "not like" convicted murderers, the mentally challenged, and children?
Kaya is ravishing. She has full lips, long lashes, and a slightly upturned nose. Her expression radiates confidence and power, and her smooth skin is well scrubbed and dotted with freckles. But she doesn't have much of a body. At all. ...

HEIGHT: 5'5"
WEIGHT: 121 pounds
So what we have here folks is a 5'5" tall, 121 lb head.
Sometimes letterbox does cut off the top and bottom of the picture. Take the Samurai X. The original Samurai X Trust and Samurai X Betrayal were released seperately, in standard TV format (since they were OVA, direct to video titles.) Then the director literally cut off the top and bottom of the frames for the ironically named "Director's Cut" release. And poof, you have widescreen.
Also, wasn't there some controversy and suit settlement by MGM in an similar matter some time back?

Yup, it's official. Though the timeline has shifted a bit since this was created.

Depends, which game are you talking about?
Even for the low-volume guys, would anyone really have a problem with them raising the price of a USB flash drive from $49.99 to $50.24?
Then again, the marketing folk would probably push that up to $54.99 because they love those kinds of numbers....

First you need to know who an undercover agent is. If you do, his cover is already blown.
Or maybe, just maybe, somebody made a few too many disguised links to goatse pictures.

Just use some naming conventions. Every sane project does. Personally, I use "_protected_member" and "__private_member".
While I don't know Python, and maybe I'd get used to this naming convention after a time, it sounds like it would be very annoying.
Banner Ads Better.
Now the question is, who's gonna be sent to the glue boiler?
Instead of "Do no evil" it will be "Partner up with evil"?

Hmm, LARPing vs. Java, now there's something slashdotters can fight about.
This is sounding more and more like the U.S. Presidential Election of 2000.
It must be a pretty sad retina scanner (also biometrics) to be fooled by Play-Doh.

Actually that's what makes it even more ingenious, since proper grammar in an IM would tip anyone off that something's fishy.

Obviously the Sober people simply care about the right of the German working class to live their lives in peace.
