the skype app on my nexus 7 is crap, with its permanently landscape view o.O unless it's been fixed since last time. So I don't use it... OH WELL! I stopped talkling to most people anyway.

Skype and MSN both have similar problems anyway (the mad "I can talk to that person just fine, but all my messages bounce back from that person..." *restart* "Now they get to that person but not the other one" *restart* "Now I can't talk to anyone." etc

Re: Yes, we know.

Another goes down hill in the last 2 episodes, far better are Serial Lain and Boogiepop Phantom.

Also for Manga Lament of the Lamb, MPD Psycho, and a list that goes on and on.

Complex well written stories. There are also great simple stories.

Manga and anime aren't a genre they're a medium. And mediums that spawn more material (dojin works, computer games, live action, American Live Action rip offs, music, animated movies, models, costumes, etc, etc, etc)

But as said mr troll, people like what they like, and a lot of people like anime/manga/cosplay/maids/blah

Re: Gabe!

"Heck, I didn't have to wait long for *everything* to get downloaded and install on my new PC last year - all I neeedd to do was install Steam, type in my username/password once and click "download all my stuff". A win for Steam as I didn't need to bother finding my disks."

It's even easier than that, you can just copy all the games to your new pc and double click the downloads in Steam and they double check that they're correct and go. A few games don't but most do.

Re: ...anime AND porn?

before talking have some idea of what you're talking about

http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=main

This season alone there are 61 new Anime (seasons / movies and OVA) that aren't Hentai.

These range from shows about cooking and, panda's running cafes to adult shows like fate/zero and Sankarae, also slice of life shows, comedies, ecchi shows, moe shows, shounen shows, shoujo shows, mysteries, action, horror, romance, giant robot and a whole draft of other kinds of shows.

Your comment is much like going

Live action shows and porn? There's a difference?

Which is equally retarded.

victorians were a moral paradox - it was quite normal for men to shag many many ladies of the night before they got married and were allowed to bang a proper lady.

That's why syphilis was so common.

are we

"Most workers enter through this route and, for instance, tens of thousands of IT workers have been brought in through intra-company transfers at a time when UK residents with IT skills are struggling to find work,"

Can't say I have been having any problems and i get calls every week, oh you mean

" transfers at a time when UK residents with *useless* IT skills and those not willing to relocate to where the work is are struggling to find work,"

Anyway I await the daily mailesque anti immigration crowd to blow their load in indignant rage.

well

being able to swap between various keyboard layouts visually would be nice.

Also being able to swap it between keyboard mode and program interface mode would be rather swish.

Not one for the printing pool though.

heh

If it's on contract and like the iphone you can get it unlocked by orange after 3 months or so for £20

Remember if it's on contract you don't own it until you've finished the contract.

O2 unlock for free as long as you keep paying the contract.

Don't know about 3

thing is

Touch screen for PCs would fly for me in one of two ways, first is as a driver for a proper screen (a bit like a wacom tablet) second is as a control system for a game (think selecting points for your artillery to land whilst dodging bullets from those cyborg monsters coming at you.) A lot of us don't have super long arms and sit a reasonable distance from our screens so an actual multi touch monitor is a bit useless in the real world. They're far more interesting as a multitouch interface of some sort (map tables, damage repair, commanding squad mates, etc whilst still having to play.)

I've played a few games in Japanese arcades that have touch monitors as the main screen but the whole machine was designed that way so you're sitting in a position where touching the monitor isn't a pain in the arse.

@Pad

"every single member of your family will be stripped of their assets, their citizenship (don’t matter if they were born here or not) and then dumped back in the county of their ancestors penniless."

Guilt by relation - nice - works so well too. Really proves you're a progessive, just, civil society.
