In my experience, the subtitles are usually relatively accurate translations of the Japanese. The audio is an attempt to say the same thing but in words which match the lip movements. This is where the problems sometimes occurs. You usually still get the same overall message across, but when you substitute words and rearrange sentences, it has a much different feel.
Of course if you really want some broken telephone translations, get some Hong Kong pirated anime that has their own subtitles (as opposed to ones ripped from official DVDs.) Then you'll see the result of a Japanese -> Chinese -> English translations by people knowing next to no Japanese or English. Those are pretty cheap, and good for a bunch of laughs when watched with friends.
I'm sorry, but if he doesn't realize Evangelion wasn't made by ADV, he is no real fanboy. Might as well complain to an ISP about the bad grammar in a fansub he downloaded. Except I doubt this guy has ever heard of fansubs.
Well I think that they'll be able to analyze the SETI signals to reverse engineer the structure of our brains, allowing them hack our minds by sending "static" signals to activate preprogrammed memes in all humans, starting with the programmers who are used to thinking in 0's and 1's.
That's funny, when I read the summary I immidiately thought that I prefer lie detectors to the virtual strip search. Can't we combine the two though? Only use the millimiter wave if they fail the lie detector.
To truly protect your privacy, you must injest lead flakes. Once you reach a blood lead level of 0.37, you can rest assured that the government will not be monitoring you for much longer.

You realize urine has a distinct and unpleasant odor to it, don't you? I'll accept going behind a tree, but not on the floor or a wall, where it will evaporate and inconvenience everyone nearby. There's a reason buildings have restrooms.
The bandwidth isn't the only reason to use the XMLHttpRequest asynchronously. What if the server takes several seconds to process the request, and you want the user to be able to continue using other features of the page? You could even have multiple requests going on at the same time if you're careful to make sure they responses don't interfere with one another. Too bad the default settings in Mozilla don't allow more than 2 concurrent connections to the same server.
As I understand it, traveling through a non-vacuum medium doesn't slow down the true speed of light. The light just bounces around a bit on it's way to the destination. The reason it takes the light longer to get from point A to Point B is that it actually covers more ground. Think of it as taking the scenic route.
I don't expect more money than I agreed to... if it isn't enough money for me to work there I don't - I feel that when you agree to a pay rate that is what you get.If
So you're saying that when you agree to a certain amout, you agree to that amount for the duration of your employment, no matter that that's an equivalent to taking continuous pay cuts?
So as far as I am concerned... if you can feed your family and keep a roof over your head and set a little back for rainy days you are doing well.
And what about retirement? That's more than just a few rainy days. Do you plan to work into the grave, or be a burden to your children? Social Security ain't gonna cut it anymore.
On the one hand, I'm currently making 30% more at my current job than when I started working here straight out of college over 2 years ago. On the other hand my pay is still at least 20% below average for my area.
Since I haven't seen anything about it, I'm assuming that true prepared statements aren't supported in this release. With MySQL 4.1, using the JDBC drivers in mysql-connector-java-3.1.10, a PreparedStatement actually causes a performance decrease, since the MySQL server doesn't do any preparation. It's still the way to go to prevent SQL injection attacks, but if you want to squeeze every ounce of speed out of it you'll use hardcoded values for numerical data types. A MySQL PreparedStatement with three hardcoded parameters and one variable one will execute faster than if all parameters were variable.

The access was a crime. She accessed the system with an unauthorized name and password.
Not quite. She accessed the system with a name and password that she wasn't authorized to use. If the username and password themselves hadn't been "authorized", she wouldn't have been able to get in.
Very well, one of the companies affected could aquire a patent on the use of a computer to match a cellphone number with an LDAP server, to get the userid. Then that userid can be matched with a database showing how many paid-up seconds the cellphone owner has.
There, that should fit the non-obviousness requirements of our patent system.

Some people never shut down Firefox, though I couldn't do that since it's memory usage seems to constantly increase during use.

Are you saying that a 12 year old could legally buy a copy of Hustler and College Sluts 15?
He is the President of Freedom after all.

Ah, but, as any true skeptic will tell you, there's always a chance that every reproduction of that single experiment is faulty.
Besides, the Matrix can have programmable laws of physics.
I wonder if this is what they're trying to develop.

It's made by Raven though (Heretic/Hexen, Soldier of Fortune, STV:Elite Force), not id.

As an MIT undergrad in 1975, Hillis and his friends built a binary computer out of 10,000 Tinkertoy pieces. It could beat all comers at tic-tac-toe.
Damn, think it could win a thermo-nuclear war against itself?
