Possibly of interest to fans of Miyazaki Hayao's work is the series he did for Nippon Animation in '78: Future boy Conan[1]. Despite the cheesy name, in my opinion it is his greatest work. I have watched the complete 26 episodes o

Was it the old VGA/Hercules combination? That was so badass It was also the only way to run dual-screen for a while, since it used a different memory region than colour displays. There was literally no way to run multiple colour adapte

You don't need a mortgage in this scenario, that's the beauty. You leverage the value of the house itself to purchase the house, all made possible by the size of the down payment. This way, you just deposit all your available fund

Suggestion: When the down-payment slider goes over 50% suggest that, depending on income level and interest rates, it may make sense to buy the house on a line of credit _backed by the house itself_. I did this, and it saved me a ludicrous

You can get a 6.5kW system from wholesalesolar (with inverter and gridtie kit) for almost exactly the same price. I don't know what the ikea system is rated for, but I'm guessing less than that. 6.5kW should do for pretty much any

Quite possibly, but I _personally_ found that working with my hands complimented working with my mind alot better than putting in 16h days of straight programming. The returns may not be as good as a second job, but I also didn't burn

The book you are looking for is "Mortgage Free!" by Rob Roy. He shows you how to go this route ie. buying cheap property and methodically building a house as you have the money to do it (and how to hunker down when you don't)

Agreed. If netcat is the swiss-army knife of network tools, socat is the complete utility belt. I discovered socat because netcat simply wouldn't bend in all the ways I needed it to. There is NOTHING ad-hoc network related that I haven't be

When I was growing up, my buddy's dad happened to be an old Berkley unix guru greybeard mad scientist type who told great stories of dumpster diving and the olden days. I was running a BBS at the time, and he told me stories of working in a

Get a good quality MIDI controller and use the plethora of awesome physical modelling software to generate any sounds you like. ZynSubAddFX is my personal favourite.

Could you expand on that? I'd be interested in hearing what the benefits are, as it doesn't seem to be something that is talked about (taboo against discussing the positive aspects of things seen as societally undesirable?).

Don't forget that, even if the health-care costs are zero, the financial costs of smoking are non-trivial. In addition to the costs of the cigarettes themselves, there is associated wear on one's home, car and clothes. You can also make arg

Just wondering if anyone knows what the difference between this and some of the other simple, so called 'Balkan Style' yoghurts is. Something like Olympic's or Astro's where the ingredients consist only of milk and bacterial culture. I live

I'm a couple of levels more paranoid than that. First, I'll write the DELETE as a regular SELECT (to preview number of rows), then turn it into a SELECT INTO to save the soon-to-be-deleted rows into a table with a backup_date_ prefix (So ol

I'm also a member of the "Taught my wife binary just for fun" club, but I used fingers in a different way than Rick Garlikov did. I told her that there was a way to count to 512 using just your fingers, and let her work through how it might

This seems (judging from what I see on the landing page) to be similar to a technique I used a couple of years ago. I was hired by Japanese broadcaster NHK to work as a translator during the Vancouver Olympics, and wanted a boot-camp style

From my experience, while feature films in theaters are often subtitled (and when dubbed, are shown either subbed or dubbed on alternate screenings), most everything broadcast on Japanese TV has been dubbed into Japanese. Granted, anything

I have been bugging my ISP (small, regional outfit) about IPV6 for the last 2 years, hoping to get them to move earlier than later. I called them again this morning, and they say that they still can't make a business case for it as they hav

Unfortunately their FAQ shows that they don't ship outside of Japan. You'd have to use a buying service like white rabbit express to act as a middleman, and though I don't know how much such services cost, would likely lower the value prop

If you like a nice deep green tea, but want a really good bang for your buck, then try http://www.tealife.co.jp/drink/32.html which is what a lot of Japanese inns use. $15 for 100 5g tea bags (yes, it's not for purists). Grown in Japan an

Fully voiced by the computer. Think of a midi keyboard that also has a 'syllable' component for each note: So for example you make her sing the syllable 'Ka' in middle C. There are also a dozen or so other knobs that control how it is sung

I found the American model of screwing around all day in order to have something to do during your (essentially mandatory) overtime to be present in Japan as well. It's taken to an extreme in both cultures, and the drop in productivity is o

I had bad knees for years, but found that running exclusively up-hill on uneven ground for about 2 years completely cured them. This might not be practical or work for you, but I found a steady improvement after I started walking gently do
