Here's a question for you people who have watched a decent amount of anime and read a nice amount of manga.

Whenever some series are available in both formats, such as Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist and Rurouni Kenshin, they get adapted to fit better within their medium. For example, an anime might skip some plot points or merge characters to get things done at a faster pace, while it's also possible to see new side stories if the matching manga's release pace is slow.

Last month in Mississippi, a kid wore pink cleats to both a football game and the next following practice, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and his grandmother, a breast cancer survivor, who provided him the cleats in the first place.

So his coach kicked him off the team for it, denying him not only the chance to play, but the chance to graduate from high school.

Are people just fucking stupid or what?

This is a bit ridiculous. Good thing my parents want to drop our AT&T service.

With its otherwise quiet northern neighbour currently in an uproar over usage-based billing (UBB) for Internet service, America is about to begin a UBB debate of its own.

AT&T, among the largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the United States, confirmed plans Sunday evening to introduce a 150GB (gigabyte) mon ...

So I've been noticing that when I don't use my Wii console for a while, it starts picking up strange habits. When it hasn't been used in a while, the case light around the CD slot begins a weird process in which it brightens to a point, flickers three times, then immediately goes dim before starting all over again. It does this constantly. I can unplug it to get it to stop, but after a while once its plugged back in, it starts doing it again.

As far as I can tell, this a ...

It's apparently a carrier pigeon Twitter instead of a carrier pigeon IM though.


In that vein we are proud to announce Meebo Carrier Pigeons.

Over the next six months, Meebo will be building the world’s largest and most comprehensive network of pigeon roosts and training a vast messaging army to bring web-based communication to the skies. Here’s how it will work: right-click a Meebo buddy on the buddy list, select “send message by carrier pigeon”, and enter a 140 character max me ...

What is the stupidest topic you\'ve ever seen at any b0reD? :rolleyes:

Picto chat. For those who dont know what it is. It is a chat program that comes preinstalled on DS systems.

Because it only works with people you're close to it not only renders the program useless but it also makes it completely redundant.

I wish someone made an MSN and YAHOO messenger app for it. One that worked real time without needing refreshed. Edited by Tri-Edge on March 31, 2011 at 22:01:07

did any one else see this?

You remember the original series Neon Genesis Evangelion that came out 1996? It aired 26 episodes and also had a movie and or TRUE ending release on DVD. The real last 2 episodes.

Now after a few years... its been a while yes... with new technology and a great budget the creator says that this is the way he wanted Evangelion to be!

So is this the true Evangelion and the other is just a shadow? Or is it the other way around? Or do you simply love both of them? Thats for you to decide. I ...

As of late, I have been recording both original Law & Order and SVU. I watched pretty much all of SVU and covered at least half of Law & Order, and I came to conclusion.

IT'S SILLY.

Overacting. Copy and Paste characters and cases. Defense Lawyers being outrageous evil. Explosive messages.

Most of the time, it's hard to take something seriously, even with the serious score.

So, gotta any good stories?

And so I am on a website, and suddenly my mouse flies up and hits the X in the up-right corner.


The first 10 times, I thought I was just being an idiot.

BUT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FAR TOO OFTEN...



y'see, even when my mouse is in the middle of the screen, or far bottom- left corner, and the thing just flies up to hit the X. And I never even click. My browser closes, and I'm left going WTH just happened. Infact, the 1st time, I had no idea how my browser closed at al ...

So today I noticed that on the chatbox on my own RP site, my text, which is usually colored an acceptable red, is now showing pixel discoloration: most of the text is black, with only some of the pixels colored red. When highlighting text, regardless of who it belongs to, there is more discoloration. The highlight is black, and therefore the text becomes white... with dark blue pixel discolorations, making it nigh-impossible to read.

And finally, some of the icons in my taskbar have som ...

Who doesn't like the movie Avatar, with its amazing CGI and semi-awesome story about a planet called Pandora?



Well, the entire plot was copied from a TV show- Dinotopia.

As I was watching the sci-fi channel, I realized that ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PLOT ELEMENT of Avatar came from this show. It has the flying creatures, the "evil dudes taking over an area to build something", the guy from the dark side learning from the natives, the native woman falling in love, the host ...

Remember five years ago? Where a guy named Hardman ranted and raved about the most needless topics, wanted to become a mod. to gain power, and got banned?

Yeah. That was me.

Before I go any further, I want to apologize to Bleedman for the 'post.' I'm sorry.

You see, I was a loser back then. Had no real friends, annoyed people, ate a lot, and played videogames 24/7. And I liked it, for some damn reason. I honestly don't remember why I thought that was cool.

Comedy is hard, given what today's audience expectations. So trying to be funny in one line is going to a long, hard and bumpy road. Most of the time, they fall flat. (Read:Rover Dangerfield)But there are people who can kill you with just one line. (Read: Roger Dangerfield)

Mine? From Shadow Hearts: Covnenat, comes a line from the bad-ass main character, Yuri Hyuga, apon seeing the boss, a giant, pink, fire magician, thief housecat (Andre) says this!

This topic has nothing to do with my earlier one.

So my computer seems slow.

Alt-Ctrl-Dlt... Processes..


aaand so... system Idle processes are taking up variable cpu usage amounts- while im riting this, they seem to be taking up............. 97-99% of my processor.... Can someone tell me what happened?

Place to post technical problems.

Chit-Chat seems to have become this, recently... :P

Several years ago I had a peculiar problem with my computer in that when I changed the settings for one folder, such as how it views images or how its files are arranged, the same settings would get applied to a completely different folder on a completely different part of my computer. So, if I selected one folder containing images and set them to view them as a preview slideshow (I was on XP at the time), I could go off to, say, the directory for a game like Morrowind and find that suddenl ...

Warner Bros. May Work 3D Magic on 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'

Harry Potter, our favorite angst-ridden teenage wizard, will soon becoming to a 3D theater near you.

No official announcement has been made; however, Heat Vision reports that the 'Harry Potter' distributor Warner Bros. is hoping to reap the gargantuan -- and still increasing -- worldwide success of 'Avatar' by converting the upcoming 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I& ...

Post redacted

Which one of you is this. (this is from Somethingawful by the way)

It's gotta be someone from here, unless it comes up in a google image search. (I checked, it doesn't)

I didn't upload it to DA, so it can't be that either.

I just ask that you add credit for my art in your profile. Thanks

It looks like Yahoo! has decided that it was time to shut down GeoCities. Those who have been using the Internet for about a decade might understand why I don't hesitate in saying that this is the end of an era.

Of course, GeoCities is completely irrelevant now, but this is a former giant about to being buried.

I personally view it as half full. What about the rest of you?

Recently while looking for registry information I came across four different message boards in which individual posters believe Norton is a GIANT piece of crap (i.e. it causes errors itself and hurts computers, not that it merely does not catch viruses or malfunctions with the result of not protecting). Obviously any commercial virus scanner is a piece of crap, but these posters believe that Norton will actually mess up your system. However, the one post I checked the date on was from 2005 ...

What are your thoughts eh? Kinda weird at first but... seems like its going to be pretty cool!

Theres a USB controller I remember using like 10 years ago. It resembled the PS1 controllers only it was for PC HOWEVER this controller was special in the way that it had built in fans in the handles! It was the coolest USB device I'd ever used. Does anyone know of any controllers like that? Please link me!

Yes, it is real, yes it is in discussion, the reuters link in the website is accurate. It's been known for awhile, but kept in secret since 2002 before actually coming into light about what it actually was due to a government official blowing the whistle on it.
