Youtube was the easiest to use source of non-dubbed sub-titled anime. Why can't Cartoon network just sub-title their anime shows instead of dubbing the crap out of them.
The voice actors for most dubbed anime aren't very good and you lose a lot of information.
It would be interesting if a Starcraft MMOG would be an MMOFPS instead of an MMORPG.
I, personally, run out of patience when I have to run around for hours while looking for small enough monsters to kill to level up. A MMOFPS on the other hand would be fast paced and more fun. Add that to the starcraft universe and you might just have an instant winner.
Not Arabic because lots of these inventions are Persian, Indian, Chinese etc.
These inventions were created by intelligent, open minded people who happened to be Muslim and weren't living under oppresion of crazed power hungry lunatics who consider technology to be the tool of satan.
I lived in Pakistan for a few years and all the so called "muslim scholars" of today are uneducated trash who happened to brain-wash enough poverty stricken people in order to get power. These morons are the face of Islam these days and that's sad.
Hopefully, the few remaining educated sane muslims will be able to over turn this growing trend.
Sorry.. I just reread your question and I see why my reply isn't too helpful. I was confused because of Mojos addtion to your question where he says "Is there a way to build a Windows installation CD that includes the most recent set of updates?" -- that is slipstreaming but your question is asking something different.
In that case... I don't know how windows could be activated using a script. sorry:O
If the customer does not have an installation disk then yes it is too bad and you can't use a slipstreamed CD and they will need to buy Windows XP (and after that use the slipstreamed CD). If the person does have the original CD then go ahead and use a slipstreamed CD.
Were you guys fined because you were installing Windows XP on computers of owners who never bought Windows XP? then it is not surprising at all that you were fined.
I have never read any where that using a slipstreamed CD is illegal as long as the person has bought the software. If you know of such documentation that clearly says that using slipstreamed CDs is illegal then please let me know.
In other cases, if you use a restore CD to restore a Windows machine then you could probably setup an updates server which you could use to push updates to the machines. Search google for "WSUS server"... Once that is set up then you can hook up all the configured machines to the network with the server and make it push all the updates to them. I believe that the cost effectiveness of this solution depends greatly on the number of computers you need to update... and it would still take a lot of time and you would still be downloading the updates but this time you'll be getting them from a local server.
Though i'm not sure that there weren't ANY blockbuster games but it sure feels like it. This is what happens when large gaming companies discourage original ideas and only go with the bigger guns + more polygon count game design route.
Original ideas are risky but now it seems that lack of original ideas is riskier.
and by "someone else" you mean someone with the digg username xoip which happens to be your slashdot username? Not only did he beat slashdot but he also stole your nickname.
It would be nice for all our government officials to start public blogs. Keeping in touch with the people and getting feedback is highly important in our sort of society.
I have noticed that his blog does not have any sort of RSS/Atom/XML feed and that makes it difficult to keep up with his latest posts.
Another thing is that there are no places to post public comments. I wouldn't mind if the comments ended up being moderated but I believe there should be atleast some way to post comments on his blog. He could spend a few minutes of his day responding to the people or he could get a staff member to pick out a few good ones each week and he could reply. That would send a very good message to the people.
Rockstar games probably have low marketting costs because the people who are trying to shut them down are the best marketting team a company can hope to have.
If parents did their jobs and followed the game rating systems that are being spoon fed to them then there would be no problems anywhere.
I really hope they release a button or something that webmasters can place on their websites which says "Subscribe". Something like yahoo has with their MyYahoo Button.
The only problems I had with Ubuntu is the lack of an easy to configure display utility that lets the user manage dual monitors. I don't know if thats the fault of the graphics card manufacturer or Ubuntu.
Other than some other driver related problems (sound card) I had no problems with it.
Hopefully they'll be fixing that some how. That would be in the interest of their adword advertisers and therefore in googles interest.
When people see more of these ads on useless empty sites they would be more blinded by them and not click.

I don't know why the word "Islamic" is attached to this article.
Just like terrorism isn't "Islamic", these inventions aren't necessarily Islamic either.
The religion of the inventor had nothing to do with these inventions.
Oh no. The fark liters are here.

If Spybot, Adaware, Yahoo Antispyware, Sysinternals tools, add/remove programs, etc.. don't work then back up your files and format/reinstall.
The first Prince of Persia occupied 2.44 gigs,

I'm pretty sure that the first Prince of Persia was about 2 megabytes.

Microsoft should ship the 360 with a string to hang the P/S with and just call it part of their new next-gen design. Everyone's happy.

gasp! that dastardly fellow!
No! Worry not, brother. It is clearly only a theory. Someone put a warning sticker on this article.
How are MMORPG expansions handled? What happens to the people who decide not to buy it?

Basically its crawling XML feeds. You have an XML feed so I guess thats what google considers a blog.
Its also true for actual Blogs without XML feeds. They aren't indexed because google doesn't consider them a blog.
So I guess a blog (in googles dictionary) is anything with a feed of some sort.
