The internet may not be completely private, but if you're posting something anonymously, and have taken sufficient steps that it can't be linked to yourself by a casual glance (ie. it's only possible to link it to you by intentionally digging for it), then you do have a reasonable expectation of some degree of privacy. Certainly enough that your employer should not be taking this information and using it against you, since there's no way in hell this would have impacted on the... #1.1.1
That's an incredible breach of privacy. I don't know how the hell something like that could have been permitted. I can only assume that someone with some kind of grudge against him went fishing for dirt, and found a gold mine. #5
Am I the only one looking at those original designs and getting strong Tekkaman Blade (a.k.a. "Teknoman") vibes from them? Not just of the Evangelions, but also of the human characters themselves? #1
Mental note. The next time the higher-ups do an overhaul of our codebase, add functionality for NSFW articles to be posted (and only postable/viewable if you are registered and enable them in your options).
Simply because Sankaku does actually have worthwhile original articles on occasion. ^^;; #2.1
In future, there will be a forum for all of Newsboiler, with each site in the network having it's own part of that. How far they're away from launching that however...well, probably a way's yet. Fingers crossed that they feel it's ready to go this year. Whole new system compared to what N4G currently has. #4.1.2
I've got a few figures on display. Not many, and certainly a whole lot less than when I was younger, but a lot of that is simply due to space constraints. I don't have any nude figures however. I think the worst are a couple of skintight outfits like Evangelion figures in plugsuits. The figures are all in the study, not in the lounge room, so the average visitor to the house wouldn't ever see them. As for those who do....well, most of them would be people with relatively similar i... #4
*facepalm* Seriously now. Not only is this a legitimate use of a hashtag, but hashtags actually getting hijacked is a daily occurrence. It's a huge problem with crisis events such as hurricanes and earthquakes in particular, since their hashtags quickly get spammed badly by porn spammers seeking clicks. That's about the only time a hashtag getting "hijacked" could be considered news. #6
Ruining? No. Taking over? Most certainly yes. While Moe as a genre is relatively new, the kinds of stories they tell aren't necessarily. The problem isn't that we're getting Moe anime, it's that the sheer proportion of Moe anime (together with Harem anime) is way out of whack. They'd be better off with a lot more variety. #5
I wouldn't quite put it that way....but yes, what's happened to JManga here will certainly serve as a disincentive to consumers in future. It'll be hard for them to trust that sort of system if there's no way for them to back up their content offline. #4.1.2
The most disappointing thing about all this is simply that those who did legally purchase their manga from JManga will have no way to retrieve these in future. I presume it's possible to save everything one page at a time (unless they've got some stupid kind of DRM on them), but that's got to be prohibitively time consuming for anyone with a big collection. #3
I'll be honest. Apart from Yamato, there's nothing there that's really catching my interest. And I wonder how many people would be waiting that long for the TV screenings of Yamato anyway, given the Blu-Rays are already out for the cinematic releases through to Episode 14. #1
