Or perhaps it's because a lack of other faactors. I mean they're probably just testing the system bare: No network connections, no external devices, and minimum system components. Sounds like you kind of answered your own query.
And just to add to the conversation a little bit more, I believe the fastest machine I've ever had in terms of booting, was an old 200mghz pentium 2. That sucker booted in about 20-30 seconds. Thinking of it like that, I don't think we've seen a decrease in boot time... well ever really.
If more programs start jumping on the p2p bandwagon, then it's going to start getting harder and harder to pass laws against it under the argument that it is only used for illegally trading files.
The success of this show may directly effect the future of p2p, and the internet as we know it; because if it does make it, others will likely follow suit.
sound will never replace this completely. Besides, do you really trust a bunch of f**ks you've never met on the internet to not show you their wang in a flash in some sort of odd video chat room?
I imagine a sort of Brady bunch "stack" of images where you just have a bunch of heads in a grid talking to one another.
It doesn't really work. People don't want to see other people on the internet, and most of all they don't want to be seen.
Now for personal chats between friends, family, and hopeful lovers; I expect what you say will be true.
lol, I also left out the word finger, and, and that made that whole post look horribly wrong. Sorry guys, insomnia, 2 days without sleep. I should probably avoid posting when this happens...
I had a bruised finger bone... oh dear lord...
I took the magnets out of an old SCZI drive bigger than my head, and pried them apart with a screwdriver.
Well I was holding a magnet in each hand, and while I was walking they got a little too close, and my was caught in-between. Oh I sang, like a little girl in church choir.
Long story short, I didn't need stitches, but I did have one very bruised bone, not to mention my ego...
I've already watched every other work on your list, yes I am very avid. I also agree that Miyazaki's work is not the only exception.
Honestly, when I think anime, I think Naruto, Evangelion, love hina, dragon ball z, Trigu, cowboy bebbop, tenchi muyo, and a host of others. This is the movement, and Miyazakis work is far removed from it. Many of the movies you movies you mentioned were as well.
I'll also admit I'm very biased when it comes to Miyazaki's works, as he is simply my favorite director, and an example of what I myself want to aspire to.
So what, you saying I should read my posts before posting them? Bah! I only put that much effort into my published works. then again, I suppose a lot of people see these posts due to modding... Alright, I'll consider it.
A long time now I have been a fan of Hayao Miyazaki. I find his movies strangely unique, and moving. In fact, I would call them more of an experience. Especially with his latest masterpiece Sen To Chihiro(Spirited away.)
this man really knows how to take you into a world of awe and amazement. He can take you to world filled with ancient gods, and mysterious magic, or to the skies and ancient forgotten cities who's only surving inhabitans are it's gargantuan robot caretakers.
I would have to say I dislike this being classified as Anime though, as while it is Japanese, it is nothing like any other Japanese animation. These are truly works that will outlive Miyazaki to become classics, and his own name will outlive him to become legend.
I highly reccomend this mans works to everyone here, even if you dislike anime, you may be pleasently surprised by the experience.
and last time we'll ever see this piece of technology.
Guy 1: Yeah, let me give you my business address.
Guy 2: Hold on I'll put it on my MPS...
Guy 2: Uhh, You wouldn't happen to have a computer on you, would you?

it's at times like this when I find myself sad to be without mod points, not that it matters, already posted here. +1 funny if I could.
/. has the audience to pull off something like /. TV, but if it failed, or it was poorly made it could hurt /.
/. pays for bandwidth! And that's nothing to shake a / at.
But seriously
Not to mention the cost of production! It might be something like half what

Ooh.. I think someone from PETA must have modded my last post...
But PETA can sure as hell try, and you know they'll cite this in future rantings.
"Soylent Green is pppeeeooopppllleee!"
No you may not, Charlton Heston has it by a good 32 years.
They estimate that this exotic dark matter makes up about 25% of the stuff in the universe--five times as much as ordinary matter.
5 times as common as "ordinary matter", So then... How exactly does this constitute as exotic?
It's in space!
Someone need only put linux on it, and all would be solved!
The line between technology and the living is thinning.
I dunno, blood is thicker than solder... No wait, it's completely not.
block out useless blue tones
And at once a thousand tiny hi-piched screams sounded through the night, and no one ever saw a smurf, ever again.
And once at the top, it will go *PING* But no-one will hear it...
"Don't think they have to worry about it getting into their lungs unless they plan on removing their breathing apparatus."
If they remove their breathing apparatus, I think moon dust will be the least of their worries.
Gads! The parent comment has disappeared! This must be the work the the Slashdot overlords, whom I gladly welcome.

$60 an hour for regular users.
$90 an hour for large networks.
$300 an hour, if you're family.
Not having to waste all my time on family freebies, priceless.

Wow, someone who didn't read my post made a comment on it?
I didn't say I hated anime, quite the opposite my friend, but I do not think this ranks with what most Americans see as Anime.
The differences I speak of are in the art, direction, and quality.
I do not speak of anime as a genre, I speak of it as a movement, and I for one do not feel this is part of that particular movement.
