Oh you're autistic huh? You sure seem remarkably able to figure out the nuances of emotion and meaning in this post very well. Riiiight...
You know much about autism? I didn't think so.
And he said the PLOT was the same as many other anime. SETTING was different. No shit it didn't take place in medieval Japan. Same generic plot though.
I haven't seen the movie, and make no claims that I have.
Really? the overall plot of the movie differed hardly at from your name sake. The differences (as I see them): the setting,
This 'episode' of Final Fantasy takes place in the forests of mythical medieval Japan? Then why is all that mecha and futuristic environment shown in the trailer?
actual form of technology.
The most advanced technology in Mononoke is gunpowder.
I hope you forgive me for assuming you agree with Katz in this.
I never said I agreed. I haven't seen the movie yet. I obviously didn't make my point.
Katz is probably autistic judging from some of his reviews.
As a functional autistic, I'd have to just say 'you just never know.'
Its nice to see him getting out. Whats your excuse?
I have to have an excuse for not seeing the latest based-on-a-videogame movie? Ok, how 'bout this: They almost always suck.
As for your 'get a life' implication: I have a life, that's why I don't get to see every movie the minute it hits the theatre.
For christs sake some of the people posting, about how bad the plot, acting, script are, are almost certainly Star Trek fans, hell I'd bet the vast majority.
Quite possible, considering there is a large overlap of anime and Star Trek fan bases. Both groups tend to prefer well-told story over the 'Look what we can do with this new toy' group.
The gall one must have to like that claptrap and find fault with anything anywhere certainly meets my definition of "unmitigated".
Ah, flamebait. I see.
I can't help but wonder if this fairly negative overall reaction (which doesn't seem to be shared by those I know who have seen it) isn't at least a partial reaction to some of the eastern elements.
You could be right. Mononoke's basis in Japanese mythology certainly kept it from enjoying a long run in the US.
I'm not saying it couldn't have been better. But I saw where the 137 million went.
A good story can be told well and entertainingly for less than 5 million. The other 132 million went to pay for the toys the animators got to play with.
On top of that, it was a decent story, with better dialogue that most scifi, acting that might not have been inspired but was certainly passable.
Good acting is fundimental to good story telling. If the acting isn't there, then the rest of the effort to make the movie is wasted.
It occurs to me at this point that you possibly meant to reply to the parent post, and not mine. Oh well.
We are running radio stations. They have the ability to do great harm if operated incorrectly - not just to "messing up someone's TV" (99% of the time it is the TV that is fault, btw) but also medical equipment, police and fire communications, aircraft communications and navigation.... THAT is why this information is publicly available - so the owner of said station can be contacted quickly and the problem fixed.
Thanks. Of course, I knew all of that long before I became a ham.
It is also a way for public service departments to get in touch with us during real emergencies.
Hopefully, you (or your local club) has met with the local Emergency Coordinator long before he has to resort to looking for you on the web.
Also, for the past 75+ years, the American Radio Relay League has been publishing QST magazine. It contains lots and lots of, gasp!, call signs in it! Ohhh! and there is CQ magazine too! And I bet one issue of CQ can potentially have more calls posted in it than an entire year of QST when the contest results get published.
I was not pointing out that your callsign was public knowledge. I was pointing out that using a quick direct link to your home address and birthdate as a signature in comments made here or on usenet might not be the best idea.
I don't want the frist-post-natalie-portman-goat.cx kiddies to know where I live. Do you?
Let's see how many/. privacy advocates post nearly direct links to their home addresses and birth dates in this article.
Just enter any callsign you see at this callsign database to find all a poster's personal info.
Just thought I'd point out that little security leak to ya.
I won't be posting my callsign here, or on usenet, for many many reasons. I advise other Hams to be just as careful with their callsign as they would their SS number.
If a company fines US Citizens without the due process of law as outlined in the US Constitution, they are in violation of the United States Constitution, and as such should be heavily punished.

3/4 of the "we" designers use anything but a Mac (at least the ones that are any good), since it has neither a production web server to test on, nor an acceptable programmer's editor to code with -- they don't use Dreamwaveer or GoLive.

BITD John use to produce some thought provoking columns. It seems now that his job has turned to focusing on the problems in our industry, and I believe his first-person anecdotes are hardly representative of what the typical individual will experience.
No, John's job is to write troll-like articles that get linked to from places like slashdot. That way, his page gets thousands of hits, his bosses make plenty of ad money, and they keep him around for another week.
Orienting an emoticon so that it is readable along with the text is unnecessary, especially if it doesn't show the range of emotions previously available.
No range of emotions?;_;

Is there a story behind this that I missed while watching live action movies?
Yes, and until you get over your immature prejudices against various types of storytelling, you'll never know. ^_~
"The Army of God Manifesto, gospel to anti-abortion extremists, allows chemical and biological weapons in the crusade. Now think of a virus or bacterial spore that attacks in the presence of RU-486."
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt kill the non-believers.
RU-486 usually kills the unborn child, [normally known as a fetus] after ten days of the mother waiting around for the miscarriage.
How dare she just wait around. She should poke around in there with an old coathanger. Then she should get off her ass and get me a beer.
It is also dangerous to the mother.
Although much less dangerous than the aforementioned coathanger.
"In July of 1996, an FDA advisory panel recommended approval of RU-486 even though the American clinical trials were still not complete.
Maybe they knew it would take over 4 years to get through all the political BS.
Most shocking of all, this recommendation was made despite the unimpeachable testimony of Dr. Mark Louviere,
Is that similar to the unimpeachable Bill Clinton?
But what really bothered Dr. Louviere (but not the committee, apparently) was even though he reported the complication to the Planned Parenthood clinic which administered the experimental drug, a representative of the same Planned Parenthood clinic subsequently told the media that there had been "no complications among the 238 women" they aborted in this manner. "
Well, certainly those people at Abortion"facts".com wouldn't lie to the media, would they?
Guess what. Almost every drug ever approved cause some kind of complications among a small percentage of the trial patients. Looks like less than 0.5% in just one clinical trial. Not bad, actually.
RU-486 has been in use over much of the world for quite some time now. Is this particular anecdote the only evidence of problems you can come up with?
At least I didn't log out, post anonymously, then log on later and mod myself up.

Sharing dirty needles with your friends is certainly a lifestyle trait, don't you think?
What's wrong with being lazy all of a sudden? I have a set of values which does not include chasing round after my fucking kids all the day to try and stop fuckheads like you showing their dicks to them. What about my fucking rights?
You have the right to not fucking have kids if you are not up to the task of fucking raising them.
And why the fuck haven't they seen your dick yet? You fucking afraid of the human body and all that goes along with it? You fucking ashamed or something?
