Via blogs4God [blogs4god.com] I found "the Fathers of the Christian Church [wayneolson.com] as well as a few other blog that basically take books, devotionals or diaries out of the past and post them blogs.
I personally think this is a cool way to teach history. I'd like to see more of this on the high-school level as a means of familiarizing students with the great men and women of antiquity on a personal level.
Depends on if you consider it to be history, or fantasy.
Most of the music available in USofA exists with expired copyrights. Traditional Xmas tunes, Sousa marches, most ragtime jazz, most jazz, period.
But, since there's not much money to be made on tunes with expired copyrights, there's not much reason to record them (other than to put your name on an Xmas album.)
If they can maintain the illusion that "learning the PC language" is tough and unrewarding, they will continue winning the minds of people who will then pay an arbitrarily high price to keep speaking Mac-ese.
Amazing how even many of us who "speak the PC language" find that Macs just work better.
I mean, I think the genre can be categorized into a few (rough) parts, but non of them are really the "explore new land meet new people" sort of (startrek like, I suppose) way.
Think about the Japanese for a second; Apart from a miserably failed attempt in WWII, Japan is not much of a ground-acquisition culture. The grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence for them, and they know it. They have no inner need to fantasize about exploring new worlds. They aren't done exploring their own yet.
Is there any good anime that is smooth and watcheable?
Anime produced for theatrical release (Anything by Ghibli Studios, Ghost In The Shell, etc.) or for direct-to-video release (The original Bubblegum Crisis series, etc.) tend to have the production budgets required for the creation of the number of cels necessary to make the final product look good. Anime created for episodal TV (DBZ, etc.) is mainly designed to sell toys, and actual production values and budgets are very low.
A question tho, how does one differentiate between conventional animation and anime? Are all japanese animations anime?? (and i aint talkin abt huntai)
'Anime' is the Japanese word for animation. Animation produced in Japan is known as anime. Pretty simple, really.
Oh please. You know perfectly well what people mean when they say they built their PC "from scratch," they mean they didn't buy a pre-assembled package from a retailer. They mean they chose each part and then assembled it.
Yeah, they spent 10 minutes pushing a cart down the aisle at ChompUSA. That's what most of the "builders" who've bragged to me did.
How enlightened you are. You must also ask your mother her technique for grinding flour and raising chickens when she bakes your birthday cake "from scratch."
No, but she doesn't claim to have cooked it from scratch when she actually got the pre-measured ingredients out of a box.
I'm totally in favor of people trying this - just be forwarned that this is not a simple buy the parts slap the pieces together turn it on project - it's time consuming and requires a lot more tools and skill than needed for pc building.
That's what gets me every time I hear someone crowing about how they "Built their PC from scratch." No they didn't. They bought about 10 items and put them together like some snap-together kit (Place Tab A in Slot B). Certainly something some people could be proud of, but not really that impressive in the long run.
Whenever someone comes to me claiming to have built their PC, I ask them to describe their technique for etching multi-layer circuit boards.

And if you consider them to be "great men."
- Not confusing enough.
- No possibility of new patents.
- Lack of ability to lock users into your proprietary file system.
I didn't know HFS was broken.But, since there's not much money to be made on tunes with expired copyrights, there's not much reason to record them (other than to put your name on an Xmas album.)
Plus most the music is, like, dated, dude.
Yeah, whatever.
Yes, but my original TI-59 didn't drip fuel on the tarmac.
And #8.
Cloning's not perfect yet.
"Apply Murphy's law" to your mental processes. Yep.
Nevermind.
Yes, there are some bad examples, but there are also examples of excellent dubbing.
Oh damn, I just entered a sub vs. dub debate. Yech.
Nyah nyah nyah!
Thank you.
I'm sure he greatly appreciates being linked from slashdot. He'll surely make his quota for the year.

Then they stomp on my foot. I don't know why.
So far, it's won every animation award offered for this year.
I don't know that it'll win the Oscar, but it's certainly a lock to be a nominee.
