3800+ is the bottom of AMD's dual core line idiot, what'd be the point of comparing the dual core Yonah to a completely unrelated processor THAT DOES NOT AIM FOR THE SAME MARKET AT ALL?
Yeah, they could do it, they could also compare the Yonah to AMD's Duron 700 or something, it's just that it would be completely uninterresting and stupid you know.
Face it, 3800+ is AMD's bottom of their Dual Core line.
In other news, Yonah at least manage to make a comparable Pentium-D eat the dust 9 times out of 10.
I found Naruto to be badly animated with sub-par voice acting and heavy filletisis attacks (useless filler episodes with no content to make the public wait some more) from the very beginning, while Bleach followed much more closely the scenario of the original manga (impressively closely in fact, I think that it's to this date the anime that takes the less liberties with the original scenario, and it's nearly void of fillers).
And I disagree that Bleach or One Piece ain't meant for me, I do love both of them (especially in the paper form, the One Piece manga is a killer, and as impressive as it seems to me the storyline and sheer fun of this thing doesn't show any sign of weakening even though we've already reached the 40th volume -- on the other hand I kind of fear for Bleach's future quality.)
I'll agree that Futakoi Alternative is an outstanding anime too (soo much more enjoyable than the first Futakoi), as well as School Rumble or Galaxy Angel (aaah, Vanilla-san). But... well... I can't cite every anime/manga I like or I fear that the typing will start overflowing.
PS: read the Naruto manga, it's an order of magnitude better than the anime (unless you hate mangas, that is) and even though it never truely made me cry (other mangas did:/) I did indeed shed a tear on the Choji pill pages, as well as on the part about **** spoiler removed for your mental sanity ****
Do you notice how Release Candidate seems to imply that it *could* potentially be candidate for being the release?
The fact that the stable version is the last relkase candidate looks logical to me: no more blocking bugs found in a RC, it's considered stable enough to be released, it's released.
If you think Bleach or One Piece is truly that far removed from Naruto or Pokemon, then you are highly deluded. Currenlty, One Piece has been running roughly two years longer than Naruto, at over 200 aired episodes, and 5 or 6 Theatrical releases. Bleach, while certainly a new series, has more than enough potential to turn into the same long running series.
I've been reading all 3 as mangas ever since I could get my hands on them, I therefore see how they evolve (even though it doesn't perfectly reflect what the anime becomes), and I'm watching 2 out of 3 as animes (I just couldn't bring myself to watch naruto past ep10)
Now about the US releases, I'm awfully out of sync since I'm not american (and therefore ain't really interrested in your anime releases), looks like the american market got an impressive boost when I wasn't looking. Good for you guys.
You're judging quality based on your tastes, and having watched anime for 15 odd years myself, fans today are thouroughly spoiled when it comes to series quality.
Yes to both points
as opposed to the worth of the show within its' particular genre
Ah well, trouble is that I hate putting things in little boxes, I don't even have the skills to do so. Beyond the rough classifications of Shonen, Shojo, the obvious yaoi and shonen-ai and seinen, I just don't have the skills and neural paths to sort.
It should reach the front page thanks to a kind editor by saturday or sunday.

I think the next step is instead of a fan sub, a fan DUB. Get a group of fairly good voice people and dub in what they are speaking.....
No, thanks. VOST is nice because Voice Actor is a true profession in Japan and good voice actors/actress stand toe to toe with regular actors/actress in both popularity and earnings. Until the occidental world makes voice acting as valuable as regular acting I'll stick to subs.
You should watch good quality animes instead of Pokemons and Digimons.
Quite a lot of them, even though they won't be released any soon in the western world, actually have a damn good animation and art, check Elfen Lied, Blood+ or Air for good examples. Others, such as Stellvia of the Universe, have extremely impressive CGs and soundtracks. Some more are genres on their own, or truly stand apart from the crowd because they're Just Too Good To Be True (Wolf's Rain, Juuni Kokki, Witch Hunter Robin) or because they're just Too Stupid To Be True (Oruchuban Ebichu, FLCL, Excel Saga, Sexy Commando, Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu).
At the bottom are the fanservice(read: boobs)-laden, plot-empty animes such as Green Green and the regular-good Shojos and their caricatural heros (Bleach, One Piece).
And then, you have the Pits, the mass-produced 500 episode with no art, no voice actors, no animation, no spirit. Pokemon, Naruto and Digimon are fine examples of these.
Japanese animation and comics are extremely varied, they're much closer to occidental novels (as a medium) than to occidental comics (including the european ones).
Pascal and Ruby both suffer from the same problem: too much typing. You need five keystrokes to write "begin", against only two for "{", and so on. This may seem insignificant to a beginner or a professor who only works with tutorial examples, but when you do a lot of professional coding, all that typing gets in the way.
You'll need 5 keystrokes for Ruby's begin versus 2 for C's {, but your Ruby routine will be done in 2 lines while you'll be writing your 20th line of C...
Sry mate, they don't play in the same field, and trying to diss Ruby saying that it requires more keystrokes than C is beyond retarded.
They tested IE7, which has just about 0 W3C-standards improvements from IE6 (a few bugfixes, nothing more). Beta 2 will admitedly (from the ieblog posts) be extremely different, with a full compliance to CSS1 (including the damn position: fixed) and a fairly good CSS2.1 implementation (including most if not all selectors: child, next-sibling, attributes,..., and combined classes selector as well)
amaya, a web browser which is ONLY w3c compliant, and made by w3c people will crash on 90% of the sites out there on the web, if not more. it crashes on msn.com...
Amaya is a piece of dung, 90% of the CSS specs ain't implemented, it isn't even able to render reliably a perfectly valid HTML4/CSS1 website.
Right, Storagereview.com, a website dedicated to reviewing hard drives since 1998, doesn't know what they are talking about when reviewing hard drives.
SR has never focused on noise and heat production factors until very recently. Their criterias are sub-par, as well as the documentation of their testing benches (check SPCR, they explain everything about their testing methodologies and update them as soon as they find a flaw).
SPRC has been focusing nearly exclusively on silence and heat issues (notice that it's what I was talking about?) for years, and go up to the pain of providing comparative audio records of the products they review in order for the reader to truely have the best informations they can provide (because, and that's something very few other than SPCR accept to tell you, dB is only a subset of the noise/silence experience, and the type/quality of the sound is almost as important)
Seriously, if you want real reviews on noise&heat, just go to SPCR, at least these guys know what they talk about and their Recommended sections give you all the damn facts you need in the easiest possible way to read them

Use Mozbackup and recreate your profile from scratch, only keeping your cookies, bookmarks and whatnot.
I'm serious about this, trying to just upgrade your profile from 1.0 to 1.5 is a Bad Idea.

Tests usually show a different behaviour: opera at the front, followed by MSIE, and Firefox dead last.
