Sorta OT, but pertains to the whole techology thing...

Has anyone seen the entire "Connections" series by James Burke, the one from the late 70s (78 or 79 I think)? There was also "Connections II" from the 90s, but that wasn't as good.

I have both PCs and Macs (and several old Netfinitiy's that run AIX), all run Gentoo Linux except 2 servers that run NetBSD. My Thinkpad T60p also runs Gentoo. The only computer I had that ran windows was solely to play games, but that stopped running. Windows is not a universal standard...

The other thing is a good example of why I have yet to work up the courage to approach 4chan. Rightfully so, that place is fucking scary sometimes. On the other hand, when I was watching the FIFA World Cup final while in DC, once I saw Zidane's headbutt, a mere 45 seconds later, the #worldcup I...

Side Note: I fixed the problem I was having with broken images under Firefox 1.5 (Gentoo Linux).

Apparently it's a security setting, went to "about:config", and set dom.disable_image_src_set to "false" and now it's working.

decided to post here because it was /r/'ed Avatar: The one and only loveable BSD Daemon (blinking eyes and pipe courtesy of me), the mascot for the Berkeley Systems Design's Unix. Signature: dubbed the "Man Rei Dance". Some Japanese guy cosplaying as Rei and immortalized on...

not sure what you mean by this

Does anyone here thing gainax sat down and worked out the physics of all for this for an anime series? I doubt it, but personally, when reading through this entire thread, the thought that Gainax actually checked their physics against REAL WORLD physics or that anyone who posted in this thread thin...

There's also some extra stuff on the suit: IBUKI: The plug suit's life support system will be getting close to redline. --- Shinji: The heating and the oxygen circulation are already out. I'm cold. It's useless, the suit is giving out too. Also in ep10, Asuka had a special heat resis...

Not to mention the bandages do not mirror Rei's bandages from ep01, they mirror Asuka's wounds during the battle against the harpies. Shinji doesn't "bring" or "will" people back, Asuka came back on her own volition, unless Rei, Misato and Asuka collectively "wil...

Are you watching perfect collection or platinum? There's some extra "blinking" or whatever in platinum (I think that's what I have on my laptop, I've got to start picking better names for my files), the eyes go dim around: Ritsuko: “… Reconfigure EVA-01's system...

Ergo Proxy is awesomesauce Currently, I'm up to episode 10, and the show is starting to dissapoint me. Anyone else watching Ergo Proxy feel the same? I think the series started off pretty strong, and started getting weak/going off in tangents up to and around ep8. I considered dropping the seri...

What is the significance of the appearance and disappearance of Rei in Ep 01 when she's supposedly in the hospital and End of Evangelion? I know that she's Lilith in some sense in EoE but that doesn't really explain it in Ep 1 of the series. Is she watching over Shinji even before he...

What if someone imagines themselves by accident? How does one choose not to imagine themselves? I have yet to understand how people have interpereted that line meanining that people have a choice to come back. Some people could write an entire book of physical laws around that one line based entire...

I already brought up the events of #20 as a correlate. Shinji could only return to physical form if he wanted to. Having an ATF is not enough; more is required. (A sufficient manifestation of libido, perhaps.) What source does this come from? there is this line from ep20, from within the Ev...

It is also helping you out since it allows you to be lazy and have things brought to you without moving a finger.

To be exact The liquid that fills the inside of the entry plug. Viscous in nature and having a blood-like odor, when charged by electricity its molecular arrangement is altered, allowing L.C.L to perform a number of functions such as mentally linking the pilot and the Eva, supplying oxygen, and prov...

I gotta ask....where were they for fifteen years? Those are pretty big creatures...they can't all hide effecitvely especially large creatures like Leliel and Sahaquiel. The ocean is a pretty big place, so is outer space. Oh so it wasn't shown? Than when did it happen off screen? But by your...

But there is still this: IKARI: Stop it from invading Terminal Dogma at all costs. Misato (OFF): But why did the Angel take Unit 02? FUYUTSUKI: Could it be planning to merge with Unit 02? then later, before Kaworu dies: KAWORU: Thank you, Shinji. I wanted you to stop Unit 02. Otherwise, I ma...

Well I think all of you know Eva-01 had a central core like a angel. Then the other day I've read that Eva-01 wasn't a copy of an angel, but was an angel. The writer of the passage said that Gendou and his team captured the 2nd angel after the Second Impact, and placed armour plates onto it...
