The Benizakura arc is just the start and the tamest of all the violent arcs. This is followed by two 'Yoshiwara' arcs each one more violent and blood curdling than the previous.

Wow! Looks like an anime I used to watch "Saint Seiya" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- directeur
saint seiya is awesome and Gintama parodies it multiple times :D
- vijay
is that sesshoumaru??
- Onur Gündüz
Sakata Gintoki from Gintama.
- vijay
looks very bleach alike to me!
- Darth Farhad Sama
Ah! it parodies it?! I'm definitely watching all the episodes, then! :)
- directeur
nah. Gintama is nothing like Bleach. Bleach is purely endless fights that have nothing new to them. Gintama has the greatest fights you'll ever see and also comedy that will KILL you with laughter. Plus Toilet Humour. Gintama has TONS of Toilet Humour.
- vijay
directeur, here's one of the Saint Seiya parodies --->- http://bit.ly/fLeBA This is in the middle of a ultra serious fight where they are trying to free Elizabeth from the evil politician LMFAO! watch it and then watch the full epi. KICK. ASS. STUFF. :D
- vijay
Gintama's the only anime that'll make you tear up with laughter right in the middle of some of the greatest and most violent fights you'll ever see. It's made of pure, polished awesomesauce.
- vijay
:D THANK YOU!!! Gonna watch it right now!!
- directeur
LOL! it's 10 times more hilarious when you watch it from the start 'cause everything makes sense, and just when you think it's predictable, they throw in this parody bomb :D
- vijay
GRRR!! I'm so eager to watch 'em all! The first 3 epis already crack me up and I guess it's getting funnier and even more surrealist in the next epis
- directeur
So, you are recommending ? I'm more of a Bleach kinda guy , is it good for me, too ?
- Alemsah Ozturk
Ne, Vijay! I remember you posted something about gintama and hemorrhoids :D Where is that post???!
- directeur
absolutely. Gintama's the greatest anime ever. And unlike other anime it doesn't have a stupid story that the hero HAS to pursue for the anime to make sense. Gintama is just the daily life happenings of a samaurai, an alien girl + her pet and an otaku. And that's where things are so clever. Since there is no set storyline and no goal for the hero, stories are incredibly creative, funny and riveting. Gintama's the greatest anime man has ever known. Recommended a 1000 times over.
- vijay
the more anime you watch the more you'll enjoy Gintama 'cause they parody everything from Abu-san(http://bit.ly/1alMtk), which has been going on for 30 years to Naruto (http://bit.ly/4sSe6p)
- vijay
LOL! let me find that one directeur :D

- vijay
here you go --->- http://bit.ly/1DCDmE Gintama parodies of Naruto's Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and Kakashi's Sharingan :D This is the epi where they are forced to cut the Supreme Emperor (shogun's hair) 'cause the barbershop owner ran out when he found an episode of abu-san manga was missing and the shogun comes into the shop. (shogun likes to tour the city in disguise to know the life of the commoners) :D episodes 151 and 152 are EPIC.
- vijay
the same shogun comes earlier in epi 83 where they play a game of "Draw the Straws" .Straws have numbers and the one with the longest straw calls out a number and that person has to do what the winner says. Well things turned out like this --->- http://bit.ly/1wZDqc and they inadvertently find out that the shogun isnt really a... *ahem*... 'shogun' down there LULZ!

- Daniel Bruce
Daniel, watch the first 15 epis of Gintama and you'll ditch every other anime you've ever seen till date 'cuz they don't stand up to Gintama's level. That's what I keep wishing (that other anime had the same maddening levels of awesomess that gintama has) after watching about 2500 episodes of anime over the last 5 years and finally stumbling onto Gintama by accident this year --->- http://bit.ly/3hMKg1 EDIT: WRONG LINK. CORRECTED NOW.
- vijay
Well I'm more of a cyberpunk/mindfuck anime fan, but I do enjoy the occasional violence anime, so this ought to be good. =p I would like to suggest Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (very funny humour/parody anime) and Battle Programmer Shirase (about a deliquent hacker, also humour/parody), they're pretty damn awesome, and fairly short in terms of episodes.
- Daniel Bruce
Damn, I'll have to check it out. Violent animes are the best. It's why I love Black Lagoon and Hellsing.
- Maxamad
Daniel, this is not pure violence. It's a LOT of comedy + the right amount of violence. And if you like Zetsubou sensei then defintiely check out Gintama as it has the same style of humour but done a lot better. Also check out Bakemongatari (which is from the Zetsubou sensei team themselves). I did a screenie post of 'Bake' yesterday here --->- http://bit.ly/2ei7Hq

Should I consider the 64 bit version of Windows 7? - http://ask-leo.com/should_...
Steven Hodson, Mo Kargas, Ron Thompson and 3 other people liked this
Personally, my answer is: "Yes! Unless you have VERY specific reasons for going with 32bit". Please don't let us be stuck in the stone age of computing for wrongly percieved compatibility problems. If you're lacking drivers for certain things(printers, and other peripherals), don't let that stop you, bitch at the vendors to join the 21st century instead. Any hardware vendor without 64bit drivers by now should be killed on sight.
- Daniel Bruce
Yes, if you have 64 bit hardware, there is nothing stopping you.
- Roberto Bonini
The only reason I can think of why you should run 64 bit is when you need more than 4GB of RAM. Are there other considerations?
- Willem (@wim66) ☠
If you have 4gb now or think you will have in the future. Remember no upgrade path from x86 to x64 version.
- Steve de Mena
from iPhone
Yes! I made the transition several moths ago, and I plan on purchasing the 64bit version now. Love it!
- Michael Fidler
YES but if you are using some software which is 32 bits you should use 32 bits system.But if you don't have any special appz you can use and live the comfort of 64 bit.
- NT
64-bit windows will run 32 bit apps.
- Roberto Bonini
I have been running 64 bit since xp, i also have the 64 bit win 7. I am in the technical preview running Office 2010 64 bit. It will open a 184 slide presentation with nice photo images in less than 2 seconds. On a 4 year old laptop xp 32 and office 2003 I can go get coffee and come back and it is still working. The issues are your printer drivers. I am still having flaky problems with my printer driver spool. But I can live with it. I have no issues with 2 year old logitech keyboards, mice and cams.

"I'd perhaps also suggest locating yourself somewhere in the Oslo/Østfold area, as I feel that the Westerners are a lot more "cultural" in that regard (though this may just be a bias, since I'm an easterner myself). Oslo, in particular, is extremely multicultural, I worked for Opera Software this summer and probably half the staff in the Oslo office were foreigners, and the main language was english. The south also has a bit warmer weather in general (or should I say, the north has EVEN colder weather =P). The bokmål-ish dialects of the east might also be a bit easier to understand."

Movie Theaters Will Fry Us All with Infrared to Stop Pirates - Ir movie theaters - Gizmodo - http://gizmodo.com/5364926...
Iván Abrego and CW™ liked this
"You can't shoot a film pirate with bullets, but IR light is just fine. Sharp, at the request of Japan's National Institute of Informatics, has developed a method to ruin the camcorder footage shot by pirates in movie theaters. By placing mega IR lights behind the screen (which are invisible to the human eye, of course), the light can tunnel through tiny holes that are already in screens for the passage of sound. The result is a wash of light protruding from the screen, ruining camcorder footage. The other result is that, while you'll still never buy a ticket to Wolverine, you'll never get to know how bad the movie really was until, hungover on the couch one afternoon, you catch it on TBS or something."

wrong use of "you're" in the "If you don't understand these guidelines" paragraph. Should be "your"
- Imabug
I have to say I far prefer the non-cleartype one. Is something wrong with me? =p
- Daniel Bruce
imo, this discussion is of... dubious value. 1.) most folks would prefer the rendering that they're most familiar with- personally, I prefer the vista/ff rendering, and find the osx rendering artificially bold. 2.) the exact clear type (or osx font rendering) settings is hardware dependant. what looks great on your monitor may end up looking crappy when screenshotted and displayed on my monitor, due to things like pixel ordering, DPI, resolution, screen technology, etc.
- Chris Hollander
This, this right here, beautiful text rendering, is the one single reason I'm lusting after OS X. Safari on windows has the OS X style rendering, so it's possible on windows; just that Msoft has adopted clarity over font smoothing. Joel from Fogcreek has a good article detailing how the company philosophy is reflected in the font smoothing choices: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items...
- vijay
I went from programming full time (a heavy text reading occupation) exclusively on Windows for 8 years to OS X and it was something to get used to... it seemed blurry. But now Windows feels to aliased and clunky to me.
- Paul Reynolds
How does it look on Linux? ;) When I first moved to the Mac, the fonts did feel slightly blurry, but they feel perfect now. Depends on what you've been used to.
- Paul Grav
If that's all I'm missing then I'm pretty sure I'll survive. I can adjust my fonts in windows, turn off cleartype or turn it back on, so it'll be ok.

I love my Mac, but I still have trouble stomaching it's font antialiasing. ClearType++.

At first I thought the point was showing that based on browser/OS sniffing, the Baker's Dog website WAS charging $4.95 to Windows customers and WAS NOT charging Mac visitors at all! Then I realized the same text flowed differently and was outside the screenshot. Now that would have been a new kind of Windows tax.

C'mon, XP is a trillion years old. Get Win7 and enjoy it's nice font smoothing. And here's a great article for those who is praising Mac font rendering: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items....

You only need to activate ClearType and the page looks like it should. And yes, it makes a difference...

Alphaxion, coriander is the seed and cilantro is the leaf originating from the same plant.

#Irememberwhen it was tagged hash - never got into it though
- Mac Sharp
yeah Johnny - we're not American you crazy nut!
- Phill Price
@jimminy the full plant is scientifically known as Coriandrum... from the Latin “coriandrum” in turn from Greek “κορίαννον”.
- alphaxion
"cilantro" refers to the spanish word for coriander... doesn't mean the leaves at all, it's the whole plant.
- alphaxion
Clearly, we should call them sharptags.
- Daniel Bruce
hehe... when I first saw someone asking for a copy of "C#" I asked him "do we not already have some licenses for C hash?".. I was promtly corrected to the way it was pronounced >.<
- alphaxion
# has been referred to as 'pound' on US phone systems for decades. Blame Ma Bell/AT&T for naming it that.. 'Hash' is strictly computer terminology. Everyone in the US who hasn't been a 31337 haxz0r knows it as pound.
- veo
@veo it's generally known in most of europe as "hash" or "number", tho in music it is known as "sharp" iirc.
- alphaxion
Technically, the sharp and hash signs are different (the sharp sign is slanted downwards, the hash sideways). C# should technically be written as C♯.
- Daniel Bruce
alphaxion: well, I'm speaking about US specifically. Johnny was asking why people know it as pound.
- veo
and it isn't because of ATT, it's because of the old imperial weight denotion of pounds in america (UK used to use "lb", since our currency is the pound too "£"). Telephone companies tried to called it "octothorp"
- alphaxion
Hahahaha. Octothorp would be awesome!
- veo
alphaxion: In the US it's a general distinction we make.Coriander is the plant, ground coriander is ground coriander seeds, and cilantro is coriander leaves.
- Jimminy
@jimminy it's a good example of how words can be corrupted from their original meaning :) linguistic evolution :)
- alphaxion
In the old days of 7 bit character sets the ASCII value for the # character was used to represent the £ (Pound Sterling) character outside the USA. I think the use of pound for # comes from the days of Telex and the Baudot code. The USA had a local variant of the code which replaced £ with #. As AT&T ran telex services internationally they would have had to deal with the fact that # and £ were interchangeable
- John Wilson
alphaxion: I definitely agree, but I bet it makes recipes a bit more simple, and definitely a little shorter. :)
- Jimminy
In Norwegian, though, the sign is called a "firkanttegn" (lit. quadrilateral-sign), which, if english had a better word for guadrilateral, might make slightly more sense. =p
- Daniel Bruce
Coriander? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Mac Sharp
@john the practice of calling "#" pound predates ATT and ASCII. As I said, it's cause "#" was used to denote the unit of weight "'pounds" in print in the US, here in the UK it was always "lb" for pounds.

Notoriously bad for NOT doing this. Mainly because I am such an information pack rat. I have become the lonely curator of my electronic desktop museum. ;) To defrag means a painfully long time since I have not employed proper ILM!
- Melanie Reed
Defragging really only matters with heavily accessed files anyway, though free space optimization, on the other hand, is very useful. It prevents future files from being fragmented when stored to the disk, by filling all small pieces of free space with small files from other places on the disk, leaving you with only one or two big, continous regions of free space.
- Daniel Bruce
I've only ever had to defrag Windows based filesystems.
- Andy Bakun
Ever ran a fsck on an ext3 based system? You will get a message saying something akin to "XX% non-contigous", which is how fragmented it is, this can easily get into the 20-30s on long running systems, and there really is no tool for defragging it. This is why ext4, for instance, will come with an online defragging tool. The most commonly used nix filesystems ARE more resistant to defragging, this is true, but they are not invulnerable. Even worse, there are no tools to deal with it.

I lived and breathed on a defrag. Hint: If you torrent a lot you'll likely need a defrag. Also, how did O&O get left off the list?

First thing. There is a natural reason for depression. Second. Just the diagnoses and the that something is done is talking steps in rignt direction. What's more interesting is why one gets depressed. Its the brains way of saying that we need to change something. That we don't have balance. Most meds try to make ppl cope and keep status quo. Ie undoing and avoiding change. This is probably not helpful when they need a break.

This is really a fascinating read. I expected to see more placebo in nervous-system disorders, but was surprised to see things like Chrohn's disease listed as well. The real takeaway from this article for me is that it will always be difficult to separate variables in research on humans, because there's no escaping the giant feedback loop among the world, the brain and human culture.
- Joel Webber
On the other hand, it's also exciting to think of the opportunity that may exist here -- if the placebo response can really be this effective, understanding the neural and biochemical pathways involved could lead to more effective therapies, both at lower doses of drugs, and eschewing drugs altogether when we can find other ways of triggering the response.
- Joel Webber
Think for a minute about what the placebo response is. It is partly a reflection of "things will get better anyway." The rest of it is "someone is ill whose body had all that was necessary to heal itself." So if placebo becomes more effective, either (a) the spontaneous recovery rate is going up -- which I don't think it is because diagnoses require persistent symptoms -- or (b) more...

When people scoff at me being a veggie (they often do) this is what I tell them - if I was trapped on a desert island and needed to feed me and my kids I would hunt if it was necessary and kill as humanely as possible. Nothing about the meat industry is humane and that's why I don't eat meat.
- WorldofHiglet
@WoH - I agree, and wonder why “scoffing” at a vegetarian is considered OK? People are judgy. :)
- Anthony Citrano
I scoff at vegetarians who get all pushy about it, and try to make others feel guilty for their choice of diet. I have great respect for those who are vegetarians and can be happy with that. I love meat and the thought of not eating meat saddens me. But at the same time, I do understand that to get meat, you have to kill something, and I always hope that it's done humanely, though I know it often isn't. If I had to kill my own food, I suspect I would be able to tolerate being a vegetarian...
- Joey Gibson
@Joey: I hear you, I suppose it's like anyone who is dogmatic and tries to shove something down your throat. That bugs me too. But the pushy vegetarian is a rare beast compared to those who get super-defensive about eating meat. That is: a person gently says they are a vegetarian, only to be faced with the inevitable “why?” which, once followed by that person’s reasoning, “makes others feel guilty.”

I normally don't subscribe to much of what PeTA says/does because I think their tactics are deplorable, but one of the most awful things I've ever done was watch this 10-minute video they have on their site of actual slaughterhouse footage (narrated by Alec Baldwin, no less).

I grew up in a farm town, and we actually had the largest slaughterhouse in the state of California for many years (run by Armour, believe it or not) before it closed and was eventually demolished. But I still VERY vividly remember the smells and sounds on the heavy slaughter days. Most of the time it was just the smells, but if you were right near the slaughterhouse, you could actually hear the animals wailing and shrieking just before they died. Was so happy when that place closed.

There's this podcast on WNYC radio or this american life, about a consultant who is extremely autistic, and because of it she's built herself a "calming device" basically it hugs her and shakes a bit.

I could see that a shot of adrenaline through the animal could affect the taste of the meat, by being a weird chemical combination. But at these slaughterhouses they're probably in a mass industry and don't really care about the individual taste of each cow. AKA, McDonalds suppliers, where the final product is barely beef anyways.
- anna sauce
I see this as a function of our development from a predominately agrarian society to the present. 150 years ago our perspective was much different towards animal husbandry, hunting, farming, etc. A typical person in the 1860's routinely participated in harvesting animals for food and understood the relationship between humans and nature. It seems reasonable to expect changes to the methods used in these business to meet current social sensibilities. We as customers should push for it.
- Robert Kenney
@Amanda: Well, read my comment as "I eat meat because I don't really care too much about the conditions, as long as the meat is safe. In addition, a vegetarian diet actually makes me physically ill, thus it is not possible for me to follow one", which was the intended meaning. How is this douchebaggy? I just don't see anything wrong with slaughterhouses, I'm sure naturally hunted (as in, taken by predators) animals suffer far worse.
- Daniel Bruce
personally, i think it's spiritually unhealthy to eat meat unless i'm willing to give some sort of thankful acknowledgement to honor the life sacrificed, whether it's a prayer of thanks to God, the life-giver, or just a sober-minded attitude that meat doesn't grow on trees... that a creature with a personality and feelings gave up her life for me. without such awareness, i don't think one who is seeking to be a more civilized person should have anything to do with meat, even if it's done "humanely."
- Gus
"Mmmm, delicious cow meats"? It's a slightly less-than-tactful way to bring to the table your take on the subject.

So - to me anyway - it seems like an odd starting point for a sound, sane personal ideology about the intersection of morality and diet.
- Anthony Citrano
Do note that I didn't say /I/ use the bible as the basis of my ideology (sorry if I made it sound like that, the two replies I put in the same message are actually extremely distinct). I just meant that, if one were to do that, it would be perfectly spiritually healthy (depending on how you interpret the bible and the events that follow). I'm not religious (in that sense).

I think we'll abandon traditional meat sources when we can grow foods that mimic these flavors and textures more efficiently in lab settings. We'll design the fats to be more acceptable, grow to taste and texture preferences, etc. The general population has long abandoned hunting or raising food animals themselves.
