Yah, I definately agree with you. The speed is there, but definately not the distance. If this thing could get me at least 100 miles i'd buy one in a second. Also, they could have probably come up with a much better looking design for the car, it looks like the car melted while it was recharging! Speaking of recharge, does anyone know how long it takes?
Agreed. Its the greatest program i've ever used! I've had Sex on my machine for several years now! As for sex in my real life...thats another matter entirely.

People want an open public form of communication, but are unwilling to accept email from people they don't want to hear. I think its interesting that people expect others (i.e. government) to go after these individuals in the hopes that it will put an end to all unwanted email (especially when the individuals are in other countries). If you sat down in the middle of times square, do you think its fair to expect people to stop yelling, the cars to stop honking, cellphones to stop beeping, or the people to stop shuffling past you? The truth is, you will always get unwanted email if you aren't going to actively manage what email gets to you. Do you ever get SPAM from IM? No. The reason why is because you have actually personally networked who you want to talk to and eliminated all others. I believe the future of email communication will be based around a networked process of individual/group permissions. Till that day, people are going to be lazy, unhappy, and wishing for something impossible -- that SPAM will end if they do nothing.
Don't look at it as just lowering of cost. Look at it as going to a place where something costs much lower for the same thing but everything is the same. People in china get paid less, yes, but they work just as damn hard as americans and live quite comfortably.
Are you trying to make a point, or are you just talking? If all the money was in the USA and you couldn't get a job with decent salary, you go to china or you GET ANOTHER JOB!
I don't agree. I grew up in america as a programmer. I have many friends who became independent software developing contractors before they even got into college. Learning a computer language isn't hard. And american companies are realizing they don't have to pay high prices for it. If you want to blame someone, blame the education system in america for not making computer science college graduates who aren't competative and don't have any knowledge past basic java.
I do live in China, and I do work for an outsourcing company. My comment was directed particularly at your "outsourcing is only bad for high tech / high skill industries".
In a word - escapism. Why do people read fiction books? Why do people like paintings? To feel a part of a world that is perfect and actually has meaning. Few people have that opportunity in reality.
Heh. Outsourcing high tech is bad for America, yes. Outsourcing in generall will be win/win for China for a good number of years. Maybe you should think beyond your american idealism before your criticize outsourcing in other countries.
I live in china. 500 dollars == 4000 yuan. I can get through a single day having to pay only 25 yuan to get to work and come home and have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The rest goes to appartment costs and other expenses.
An average person is greedy and couldn't care less about the aspirations of a random artist on the internet. People believe something is popular largely because corporations make them popular and get lots of money to pay their artists (outsourced or not). This is reality.
How valuable do you think copying a picture over and over is in the world? The people who will always make money are the true visionary artists who create the anime plots and stories and characters. Business is business, money is their game, its not greed.
I hope you aren't under the assumption that only japanese can create good anime. This is more of an issue of money. Plot writers,dreamers, and true visionaries will always be in demand and well paid. scribbling down ink and color is another matter entirely.

Hahaha, yes. Whenever I install Sex at work, I have to cleverly hide it and rename the executable.

I'm just stating the truth. Whats with you? You are the dumbass who was making lame comments in another thread too. Get over yourself.

Being japanese has nothing to do with talent.
MAKING a movie is much different from copying a picture over and over and over. Thats why.
How valuable do you think copying a picture over and over is in the world? The people who will always make money are the true visionary artists who create the anime plots and stories and characters. Business is business, money is their game, its not greed.
