There's a few exceptions of course. Primarily the big-name stars Disney brings into their Ghilbi translations.
Yes, but that illustrates a large part of the problem: Rather than bringing in capable voice actors for the dubs, they bring in names that look good on the posters.
Voice acting is a subset of acting that requires specialized talents. Some can do it (Mike Meyers, etc.) and some can't (Billy Bob, etc.)
God I really freakin' can't stand this old complaint. The subtitled text is interpreted into our language just as the dubbed dialog would be, so no matter what, unless you speak the native language of the show, you're getting an interpretation of it in english.
God I really freakin' can't stand this old excuse.
Dub scripts are always edited to match the mouth movements of the animation. Dubbed vocal inflection is always ruined by attempts to make the words fit the mouth movements. Subtitles are not subject to these limitations.
Subtitle scripts are limited only by the talent of the translators. Dubs are limited by the casting directors, voice directors, and actors.
Another essential difference in the voice acting quality: Japanese voice acting is an honored craft. Those that get hired do so because they are the best among many. In America voice acting is what you do when you can't get hired as a real actor, in most cases.

I never thought your letters were real, until something happened to me that I just had to share...
I know he's one of the worst people in high places, but I think this is a good thing. He's not invading peoples privacy or instituting some terrible law, he's actually helping people.
EPSON is a reference in video projectors, they are the number 1 in sales worldwide and other companies just simple OEM the products from them!
Not anywhere that I've seen. Epsons are the toys that people get conned into buying at Office Depot.
Sanyo, on the other hand, is an OEM for InFocus, Eiki, etc. I have a few different Sanyos in my rental inventory, and they are all-around impressive projectors: Good construction, good packaging, reasonably intelligent software design, etc.
Being good has absolutely nothing to do with whether the major labels sign an artist or not. Case in point: Britney Spears, InSync, etc. ad naseum.
Record labels are in business to make money. The bigger labels sign good musicians (Robert Randolph, etc.) and good entertainers (Britney, etc.) because they know they'll make money.
What's left after no one else wants them is picked up by minor labels, if at all. Just because you can make music doesn't mean you can make listen-able or entertaining music.
-No DRM. MP3
-Try before you buy
-Artists get 50% of the purchase price, artists keep the rights to their music.
-No RIAA connections.
-No inventory.
One unknown record label that seems to be a refuge for bands that aren't good enough for the big time isn't gonna cut it. Imagine a grocery store that only carried generic house-brand items. Wouldn't be very popular or successful, would it.
iTMS is successful because they've made the proper deals with the right product sources, much like any other successful retailer has to do.
Could this be the start of a new trend in going after the writers of viruses & worms?

what's with the continued fascination with japanimation?? Aren't you people too old for this now?
I got over it once I learned it was a lot more fun smoking, drinking, and fucking, than watching some big-eyed orange spiky haired cartoon getting raped by tentacle monsters.
what's with the continued fascination with anonymous posting?? Aren't you too old for this now?
I got over it once I learned it was a lot more fun taking responsibility for my posting, than hiding behind my mommy's skirt as I post trolls and flamebait.
Right, well, learn some organic chemistry.;) No need to trust some random website, any college ochem text will do...
I'll just say this much: The chemistry professor I live with has just passed another annual physical exam (by a doctor who's not entirely an Atkins fan, yet) with flying colors, after having lived the Atkins diet for the past 2 years and losing about 80 pounds.
Her cholesterols are down. All other vital signs are normal or better-than-normal. Her kidneys are fine. She's in better health now than she's been in her entire life.
I'm sorry you've had the problems you've had, but I don't believe they apply to the discussion of the Atkins diet.

Word to the wise, kiddies, ketosis is not a state you want to be in. It's not a fun place to be.
Mononoke means "The spirit of a thing". Basically, the Japanese blame mononoke for every unexplainable thing, from a major natural disaster to a minor headache. A mononoke could be the spirit of an inanimate object, such as a wheel, the spirit of a dead person, the spirit of a live person, the spirit of an animal, goblins, monsters, or a spirit of nature.

Beyond the potential damage to renal systems, (which occur as a result of glomerular scarring) there are other risks to not ingesting enough fruits and veggies. I like some blood red rare meat as much as the next guy, but fruits have many anti-oxidant compounds in them that scavenge free radicals. Veggies, have fiber in them that in addition to keeping you regular, reduce incidence of a number of cancers of the GI tract.
FUD. Veggies are a large part of the Atkins diet. It's not all "blood red meat."
On top of all of that, diets high in proteins and fats (Like the Atkins diet) predispose folks to heart disease, strokes and diabetes.
Wrong. Atkins has proven itself in lowering cholesterol. Atkins was a heart doc, ya know. His observations of success among his patients led to the development of the diet.

"Hey, I'll save money by not buying a gym membership by just starving my body!"
Funny, except you aren't starving your body on the Atkins diet.
That's the most ridiculous crap I've ever heard. If you're in dialysis someday with kidney failure, you'll realize that your health is far more important than social perception.
When you're in dialysis someday with kidney failure due to diabetes, you might make the connection between carbohydrate ingestion and sugar production in the body. It'll be too late for you, though.
Used to be that work like this done at a Univeristy was considered 'open' as in available to anyone to help advance the state-of-the-art.
Nothing about a patent requires charging for or restricting use of the patented ideas. What it does do is prevent Lawyers, Inc. from patenting the work, and then restricting its use.
Holding the patent in hand is much cheaper than having a law firm fight the prior art fight for you.

When testing scale models, this bit of wisdom comes to mind:
For thousands more years the mighty ships tore across the empty wastes of space and finally dived screaming on to the first planet they came across---which happened to be Earth---where due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog. --Douglas Adams
1) Selection of radio genres is not that great. If all you wanted was to listen to some high-quality Internet radio, the genres and bitrates are okay, but MusicMatch and Live365 seem to be better.
So add Live365 stations to your iTunes library. It's easy, works quite well, and you only have to do it once, saving you from searching every time for stations.

Don't do this without medical personnel nearby, however.
