Mononoke DVD-- Disney was originally going to release it with only the English language dub, but there was considerable fan outcry, and so the disc was delayed so they could get language clearances and have both versions.
And boy am I glad they did. While the english version is quite good (except for the miscast Gillian Anderson), I still prefer original dialogue with subtitles.
I desperately want to get a dual-language version of Totoro (and everything else by Miyazaki) -- dubbed for my 2 year old, subtitled for me & my wife. I wonder whether the lack of such a release is due to laziness/bureaucracy at Disney, or re-export worries at Ghibli?
The vast majority of Studio Ghibli products released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and other southeast Asian countries are not licensed. These locations are notorious for their lax (or non-existent) enforcement of copyright laws, so be very careful when purchasing any video product manufactured or sold in this area.
There have also been numerous reports of various Studio Ghibli DVDs manufactured in Hong Kong or Taiwan being sold at stores, online shops, or on Internet auctions. As far as we have been able to determine, these are pirated copies. To our knowledge, only IVL in Hong Kong and Buena Vista Home Entertainment in Taiwan sell authorized or licensed Studio Ghibli videos/DVDs. Visit the Pirate Anime FAQ for more information on spotting bootlegged items.
The DVD set from an outfit called "Anime Cartoon International" (now known as "Manga International", not to be confused with "Manga Entertainment") is a definite bootleg.
Which of these options would run better on my dear old PowerBook G3 (with 640MB RAM)? My department uses a lot of ColdFusion, so it would be handy to run a local copy, as long as it isn't massively boggy.
Tauzin is a supporter of the concept, but wanted to ensure that the implementation was correct the first time
A more accurate way to say this is that Representative Tauzin (R - BellSouth) wanted to check with his loyal constituents before allowing any bill that would affect them to move forward.
It's a safe bet that Tauzin negotiated some favors in exchange for dropping his hold. Be prepared for this year's summer blockbuster: Tauzin-Dingell 2: Reign of the ILECs.
Saw a congressional discussion about this on CPAN satellite channel last night
Wow. I knew the Perl community was big, but I didn't realize they had international TV broadcasts. Interviews with Congress too -- I wonder if I can write my representatives to ask for help with contexts?
How hot is "abnormally" hot? [...] Any drinkable coffee (that is, warmer than about 40 degrees Celsius) is capable of giving you quite interesting skin burns.
"Abnormally" hot in McDonalds' case was just under 85 Celsius (that's 185 Fahrenheit). I hope you'd agree that just shy of the boiling point is not an appropriate temperature for consumer coffee.
And this was not a fluke at one McDonalds; this was chain-wide policy. Ultra-hot coffee stays fresh longer -- they could brew a big pot before opening and sell it all day.
If you need, I can probably look up some information on this.
SUV explosion is another example of paternalistic government regulations gone bad.
No, SUVs are the result of lobbyists convincing the government to keep a crippling loophole in what could have been a very good patriotic regulation. There have been many attempts to remove the light truck exemption, but all were shot down by big oil (claiming to protect the soccer moms)
stop purposely crippling their low-end machines. That means it should have PCI and AGP-slots
Your wish is my command (http://www.apple.com/powermac/)
BZZT. A tower model that starts at $1700 (sans display) does not count as low-end.
I've been harping on Apple ever since the "four quadrant" lineup began. There needs to be a prosumer model in between the iMac and the PowerMac -- a $999 "iMac II" (aka eMac LC if you prefer). Low cost, small form, with easily accessible AGP and IDE, and it would be a huge sales success.
Except the profit margin might be lower, and Apple doesn't want that. Mac advocacy is definitely a love/hate relationship.
Damn straight about Salon's prediction #4. I wish I'd known the AAA was a pro-sprawl lobbyist before I renewed last fall. Bastards, spending my money to promote SUVs.
If I kept a blog I'd definitely publish this. I'm going to investigate getting a pro-rated refund, and I'll definitely hit them for a couple dozen maps the day before my membership expires.
p.s. What exactly does your rant have to do with Mozilla anyways? It's free and it's good, which are qualities appreciated by most computer users -- Mac, Linux, or otherwise.
Basically it derives energy from the temperature change when the watch is on top of your arm (flush against the skin == hotter) and when it's flopped to the side (exposed to air == cooler). In other words, it still needs motion to operate, albeit indirectly.
Hence, my trusty kinetic watch is effectively equivalent but a lot more affordable.
Hmm... held under guard in a foreign country and not allowed to go home until you make a video tape that incriminates you and/or your friends... nope, I can't think of any reason the testimony might be faulty. Of course, when folks in "the axis of evil" do things like that, our freedom-loving leaders tend to call it "hostage taking" and "terrorism".
Once a secret isn't secret anymore suing anyone is completely pointless in terms of protection of that secret
Suing the guy isn't meant to protect that (former) secret; it's long since become public knowledge. Suing is how they protect the next secret, and the ones after that...

hardly imagine that everybody is only waiting for Quark so they can switch to X.
Exactly 100% of the Mac-based publishing pros that I know personally (1 local tabloid and 2 unrelated freelancers) are indeed sticking with OS9 solely because of Quark. They really want to come over to crash-free OSX, but QXP is their livelihood.
I've suggested InDesign, but they don't want to risk problems with converting their old files.
90% of the Spam we get here has either totally fake or someone else's email address
If you're paying any attention to the From: header then you obviously know very little about spam tracking. Just submit the full message to SpamCop and they'll sort out the offenders 99.4% accurately.
Also, commercial spam by definition cannot be totally faked, because they have to include some way for money to travel from you to them.
Aragorn was born in Third Age year 2931, and he meets Frodo at the Prancing Pony on September 29, 3018. He is therefore 88 years old, but as a true Numenorean he is still in the prime of his life. 60 years of wandering the wilderness will take some toll on your skin, though.
King Elessar (Aragorn) gave up the ghost at the age of 210, by an act of will. His physique at that point was comparable to a modern man in his 60s.
just make sure you chose between Windows XP,2000 or 98.
Hey, be fair now. The Institute for Software Choice offers a much broader selection than just three versions of Windows (two of which are out of fashion):

That is not a very good endorsement of fnord. I'd rather use a web server that knows how to redirect "GET/foo" to "GET/foo/" transparently with http headers.

With so many laptops on 802.11 these days, that old saw isn't wide enough any more.

You'll be glad to know that neither Hayao Miyazaki nor anyone else at Studio Ghibli received a single yen from your purchase of that bootleg.

Well in Soviet Russia, the system won't trust you!
Oh wait. That's not Russia, that's the USA. Oops, my bad.

Shamelessly taking from Usenet research and Appendix B of Red Book:
Aragorn was born in Third Age year 2931, and he meets Frodo at the Prancing Pony on September 29, 3018. He is therefore 88 years old, but as a true Numenorean he is still in the prime of his life. 60 years of wandering the wilderness will take some toll on your skin, though.
