Anime are animation. (Some) cartoons are animation.
Anime and cartoons are neither mutually exclusive nor equal.
If your analogy reflected your previous statements correctly it would say:
Opera is rap. Snoop dog is also featured in rap.
This obviously incorrect, since, even if there are rap operas, not all operas are rap.
Of course this is all pointless anyway, because we're both arguing by (differing) definition.
I think the point of the original post is that cartoon implies (at least where I am) animation for children such as Warner Bros. shorts, whereas anime is for a much wider, less specific audience. Calling anime "cartoons" gives the impression that anime is for children.
I believe this bothers some people for two reasons: 1. They are insecure in their own adulthood and feel that calling anime "cartoon" reflects poorly on them personally. 2. They feel it works to turn away people who might otherwise become interested in anime if not for the perception that anime is also for children. (Which is bad for them because it means a smaller market therefore less frequent, more expensive releases.)
They'd have to convince a jury that this "noble, hard working volunteer firefighter who loves his adoring family very much and just, out of the kindness of his own heart, adopted a child into his home and family", started a fire to kill them all.
And apparently they planned on doing it with nothing but circumstantial evidence which would vanish once a trial started. Any defense lawyer worth a damn is going to have a Safeway employee on the stand explaining several different ways someone could use his Safeway Club Card #.
Failure to obey the rules of that country is rude, inconsiderate and frankly, you deserve whatever punishment is given for violations.
This assumes, of course, that we share your belief that following rules made by men is more important than your God-given rights. I'm not sure why you (and the grandparent) equate respecting a culture with following the rules made by whatever power structure happens to be in place at the time.
In any case, I don't think anyone deserves to be raped or tortured for any reason, much less for making use of freedoms no government on earth has any right or authority to take away.
Our cultures and beliefs may be incompatible with those of the Chinese, but that does not mean we lose those rights or waive those rights if we decide to move to China. It just means we might have to fight for those rights or find clever means to practice those rights in or around the rules.
The German Federation of the Phonographic Industry and the German Booksellers and Publishers Association didn't want this agency getting the entire law overturned. A potential ally for the little guys in their struggle against these stupid laws has just been bought off.
At the same time, they get the added benefit of making it look like these two groups are in charge of the law and can exempt people from it.
In the US, if the RIAA said it was okay for a library to crack it's copy protection mechanisms (haha), would that be okay under the DMCA?
I mean, if they can do that, that seems to mean that it's okay for ANYONE who has the legal right to copy a protected work to break the copy protection mechanisms prevent that legal use.
I wonder which packages allow outbound traffic on port 25.
I've got one of their more expensive packages: 6M/608K w/ static IP address. Port 25 isn't blocked for me.
Female anglers grow to be more than a yard long and can produce millions of eggs in a single spawning. The males, which live alone until maturity, reach a length of only 4 to 6 inches.
And curse of all curses, all the females carry around flashlights, so they can't hide it.
Released in the deep, anglerfish eggs float to the surface, where the young fish, or fry, feed on plankton.
Mmmm...fish fry.
At first, male deep sea anglers are free swimming, with large eyes, no rod or lure, and no digestive tube. Their skin is smooth. When a female and male meet, the male grips her skin with his teeth as usual.
Makes you wonder who wrote this...
Meanwhile, the male grows in size and he grows a large testes. The rest of his internal organs disappear. He is now a part of the female deep sea angler!
Great, just great. He finally gets a pair, and she takes them away!

I think it depends on the context.
It depends on what they are protesting. If they are protesting Bush's inauguration, they are protesting a representative of the people chosen by the people, for the people. In that case I, for one, would NOT welcome our new protesting overlords. If they are protesting some aspect of the Bush Administrations policies and actions, then I don't have a problem with it, regardless of whether or not I agree with their points.
It depends on why they are protesting. If people have all made other (honest) efforts to express their opinions to President Bush or the public at large (writing letters, voting, joining organizations, et cetera) and feel they have been ignored or repressed, then they have a duty to protest. If, on the other hand, they are receiving financial compensation of any kind, are trying to find themselves, have some "feeling" they can't define but is definitely Bush's fault, are trying to force their opinion on others who rationally disagree, or otherwise cannot specify specific rational reasons for being there, they have no business being there. In such a situation they are, in fact, eroding the power of the protest.
Where is the assertion that you "have to" pay money for their documentation to learn to use the software coming from? Even if no other documentation exists, with the source available you don't have to pay money to learn to use it. You could read the code. You could experiment. You could find an expert on the subject and ask him nicely to write up some documentation.
You might want to pay money for the convenience of the documentation, but it's not a requirement, and since the source is free, competing (possibly free) products will become available as the market demands.
In case of GIS data, sure, maybe it's not such a bad thing to have free access to map data and whatnot, but what about all those people who don't want images their property freely available for whatever reason?
Do those people also want people to not look at their property?
We gotta find an excuse for the monkey to cash in on it, first.
Iran is part of an Axis of Evil and headed by the sinister Mojo Jojo, who is evil, which means he's not good. He's a very bad monkey who is not good and is a super monkey with an IQ of 2000, which makes him really really smart. Really really REALLY smart. He uses his smartness (which is really smart) in his goal is to enslave the human race and make us his slaves to do his bidding. Duh.
I dunno.
I prefer a nice passive movie to a nice passive video "game" which makes me press a button to keep it playing every once in awhile (think Final Fantasy >=VII).

I agree, there's not much happy about it.
This was a stomach-churning close-call.
I guess I have more faith in the system.

Depending on the circumstances the prosecutor might be loath to prosecute the child.
His kid would have access to his Safeway card. (Another kid might have access to his phone number, which will work just as well.)
The confessor is not being identified. (Also suggesting a child.)
Fortunately for me, my sig is RFID enable... oh crap.
I thought the same thing. Nice reference even if the mod didn't get it.

Of course they reached an agreement.

Easy. They filter traffic based on MAC address and drop all traffic from Speak-n-Spell devices.
remember how God used to smite masturbators?
Yeah.
When I was a teenager he smited me three times a day, minimum.
If I know my clients, they're all infected. It's my folks I'm worried about.
...does it dance to ogg files?
I blame Tony the Tiger.

On another note, did anybody else notice that /. was down for a few hours earlier today?
No.
The sad part: To lots of kids this lot will BE the FF.
I believe the correct response to this includes "Uranus" somewhere... :)
