I remember seeing Evangelion on German TV (Vox) one or two years ago. Very late at night, and subtitled, I think. What I'm wondering is whether that was censored? I doubt they had the resources to do that, but if anybody in the know has seen it, please clarify.
I wouldn't really go so far as claiming that in this case, illegal copying is helping the industry. With music, this might be a little different. Not that the music industry necessarily profits from mp3 sharing, but here, the downloads constitute a real advertisement for the band, potentially making people go to see their concerts. And as far as I know (I don't have the numbers), a band generally gets hardly anything out of record sales.
BTW, the word "piracy" seems to me to be highly inappropriate if one thinks of what pirates usually do. We could just as well call it "terrorism".
Since there is a very direct translation between the two languages, the brain might be able to deal with this in a far simpler way than when speaking a truly foreign language. You don't express things differenlty in pig latin, I assume?
But, you should really have learned Japanese or something, back then. Far more useful in the long run;-).
So guns, if you use them sensibly, can be a useful or enjoyable thing. However, they still pose a danger to you (and others), since you could accidentally misuse them, etc.
And consuming tobacco in a moderate way can be a pleasant experience, while hardly affecting your health.
In case you don't understand: In my opinion, gun makers are to some extent responsible for murders, just as tobacco companies are for lung cancer. However, both of these cases are hardly a fitting analogy for this story.
Trains have a few fundamental advantages over cars. For one, can get a lot more people into the same area of "road" at the same speed: Say traffic is going at 50 km/h, so for safe travel, you'll need maybe 25m per car, giving at most 16 people on 100m of road (assuming 4 passengers per car). With a train, you can get vastly more people into the same area.
Also, energy efficiency of a train can be far superiour to a car, as one train goes through air a lot easier than a corresponding number of cars.
The combined system (i.e. cars, which hook on to the public transport for longer journeys) seems to be the optimal solution for combining public and private transport.
In cities, this could lead to a much higher passenger throughput than roads, and for long distance journey, driving onto some kind of high-speed conveyor belt would have most of the advantages a train has, while retaining the mobility of a car once you exit it.
However, an efficient system for entering/exiting such a system is the difficult part: Of course, you could just stop everything to let one vehicle get on/off, but that's hardly optimal.
It seems to me that USENET servers don't usually cache content on demand. If, for instance, you want to read a newsgroup your server doesn't currently carry, it doesn't just fetch it quickly. In my experience, at least;-).
It seems to me there is no fundamental difference between running software on a proprietary (hardware) architecture and running it on the same architecture with a proprietary software layer inserted.
If one sees the BIOS as software, it's even more difficult to distinguish between running Debian on PC+BIOS or PC+BIOS+Windows.
To satisfy the lameness filter, I hereby state that the above question inquires whether the Freenet key KSK@castlewolfenstein_mpdemo_linux exists on Freenet 0.3 or Freenet 0.4.
But this is de facto the same as what egomaniac describes. And the problems he describes remain valid: If your new big beam consumes as much power as a normal CRT beam, a single point will receive a constant but very low-powered beam as opposed to short high-energy bursts with a normal CRT.

Fight terrorism, save the MPAA!
Yes folks, that was INTERESTING!
Mozilla is missing here, although it really shouldn't be. After all, no Galeon without Mozilla. So what's it killer feature?
And if anybody can tell me how to do the "web shortcuts" with galeon, I'd be very grateful.
In fact, it should be possible to add these to gtk, qt etc. Anyone?

Well, Wow Web Designs' web design is an example of how you shouldn't do it, IMO :-). Blue text on blue/white snow, yuck.

Or that tobacco companies are responsible for cancer caused by smoking...
So how are roads better than tracks?

Completely different system.
According to the article, Philips is not going to try to get offending companies to remove the logo since the patents are running out in 2003/2004.

How about Freenet? Can be (ab)used for piracy, of course, but neither is that its purpose, nor does it seem its current main use.
However, remembering a 4GB key might be a little difficult, and not really that much easier than just remembering the data.
$ nohup gnut > gnut.out &
Otherwise, gnut might quit when you logout.
0.3 or 0.4?

Do you really think that a "call to arms" is the right way to express this in view of current events?
I've heard rumours that the plane was headed for Camp David.
Did anyone else read HURD here?

You mean those masses of Floridans who emigrated to Australia out of shame?
