Criticism of Modern Fansubbing
2008-06-08 18:07:00 I just watched this documentory titled THE RISE AND FALL OF ANIME FANSUBS. Here go you: PART 1 More parts and my opinions after the cut. PART 2 PART 3 PART 4 PART 5 The narrator makes some very good points; I especially agree with the points about keeping honorifics, not translating words, and putting excessive liner notes on screen. I less agree about translating signs, but I do think putting the translation seamlessly into the animation is over-doing it. I do agree with the over-use of colors, karaoke, and other special effects, especially for opening and ending pieces. Well, at least the fansubbers are doing this for free and I do get to see alot of anime that I'd normally wouldn't get to see otherwise, but I do prefer buying R1 DVDs for the reason that I think the translations for the subtitles tend to be much better.

Criticism
2008-06-08 11:47:00 by Reb Akiva at Mystical PathsThe Zohar describes this as the WORST of all possible worlds...in which there is still hope.Our prayers from Yom Kippur state that the Men of the Great Assembly deliberated on whether the challenges of this world are worth it, and declared "Better than man have not been created."It's somewhat of a Jewish tradition to criticize ourselves. There has always been the grumblers in the back of shul (synagogue), who know with absolute certainy that they could have done it better, given the rav's speech better, built the shul better, installed better chairs, etc. In this day and age, with semi-anonymity of the 'net, all those grumblers and more have opened up blogs where they can pick at every little thing within the religious Jewish community.Lets face it, the religious Jewish community is suffering SERIOUS growing pains right now. Yeshiva's are crowded yet insufficiently resourced. Imbued lifestyles of learning are conflicting with real world need for...

BRASIL: The brazilian government rejects biofuels criticism
2008-05-07 20:58:00 The Brazilian president has rejected criticism that his country's production of biofuels has forced a surge in global food prices and harms the environment. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva accused critics of being driven by economic and political interests, and failing to highlight soaring oil prices and increased demand as a factor in pushing up food production costs."Don't tell me, for the love of God, that food is expensive because of biodiesel," he told reporters."Food is expensive because the world wasn't prepared to see millions of Chinese, Indians, Africans, Brazilians and Latin Americans eat. We want to discuss this not with passion but rationality and not from the European point of view."Lula made his comments following a week of protests in Brazil and Europe against the fuels made from food crops and their supposed environmental and social consequences.This week, the EU's environmental chief, Stavros Dimas, said that biofuels, which Brazil hopes to export to the EU, must now...
Stephen King Fires Back At Iraq War Criticism
2008-05-07 17:40:00 From The Bangor Daily News:BANGOR, Maine — Stephen King has fired back at conservative critics who attacked him over a remark he made a month ago at a writers symposium for high school students.A blogger jumped on King’s statement at the Library of Congress about the importance of reading in which he suggested poor readers have limited prospects, including service in the Army."I don’t want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don’t, then you’ve got the Army, Iraq, I don’t know, something like that.

Mainstream Criticism Of Grand Theft Auto IV Begins...
2008-05-01 03:20:00 As was the case with previous games in the series, activist groups, police, politicians, and surviving victims of violence criticized Grand Theft Auto IV on Wednesday, a day after the game was launched nationwide. If it's in the game, it's in the game. The Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) protested the game today saying, "drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime... [it] is not a game, and it is not a joke."Grand Theft Auto IV gives players the option to drive drunk after consuming digital alcohol, but the game suggests taking a cab after drinking with in-game buddies.Nevertheless, MADD has called upon the Entertainment Software Ratings Board to reclassify Grand Theft Auto IV as an Adults Only game, effectively banning the game from sale in the U.S. since neither Sony nor Microsoft allow the sale of AO games on their respective consoles in America.Nearly 13,500 people die in drunk driving crashes each year, with another half million injured in alcohol-related crashes, assert...

2008-04-26 22:36:00 Daisy,Don't pay any attention to criticism from MetaFilter. You're a great writer. (and frankly, I'm not sold on the value of things like that anyway---for every gem like your recent post that shows up....there's a hundred or more boring, mainstream-y pieces of crap. I always find the good links by visiting blogs I like!) I also thought it was crystal-clear how you felt about the recent racist activities in the so-called feminist blogosphere.Shit. It's been a bad week. I've been busy as hell at work, and simultaneously fighting off some virus or another, and I come back to the internet and yet one more of my favorite writers (BA) is gone. I'm in a real "fuck it" mood--a mood you gave me a lift from by reminding the kiddos that SNL has been around since 1975!! Heh. Me and my dad used to watch it together when I was a kid. Sometimes it would be hard to hear the dialogue with him yelling at my mom to "get up! you're gonna be late for work! ("I am up, dammit! mind your own f$%#@...

What! Break's Over?
2008-04-20 18:38:00 This week was suppose to be all rest and no work (....not exactly) for us design students here at Limkokwing but it turned out to be the busiest for me. I have been trying to fix my damn computer that went haywire (again) for days - haven't had any good sleep lately. At the same time one of my client's project was due when that happened. I nearly went mad. Luckily my friends, Verina and Nilla was kind enough to lend me their computers so I had to do all my designs there. Oh, god bless you both. If all turns out well, I'm treating you both (that is if there's any extra after paying my overdue rent).Now, thinking that I actually have the time to relax, I don't. Class restarts tomorrow, and I have several assignments due. I'm not complaining though because I'm very used to handing them in late due to the workload I receive from my crazy clients. Again, I'm not complaining, I love crazy clients. They keep my landlord from throwing my stuffs out of the house and my refrigerator f...

A fair criticism of McCain from the Nation and conservative book bias

Factor military duty into criticism, Mr. Limbaugh. Did you volunteer, Mr.
2008-04-04 03:54:00 Vice President Dick Cheney, who was born the same year as Jeremiah Wright, received five (5) military service deferments, four for being a student and one for being a prospective father. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both five years younger, used their student deferments to stay in college until 1968.In 1961, amid an increasingly turbulent time in this country, after hearing President John F. Kennedy's challenge to, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," Wright gave up his student deferment, left college in Virginia and voluntarily joined the recently integrated U.S. Marine Corps. Remember, it was not until the spring of 1968 that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. All men may have been created equal, but in the U.S. in the 60s there was little assuring they would be afforded equal rights in most places. Who is the real patriot? The young man who interrupted his studies to serve his country for six years or our th...

Dutch anti-Islam film meets with heavy criticism
2008-03-29 00:35:00 Criticism from home and abroad of Dutch opposition lawmaker Geert Wilders' anti-Islam film grew Friday after Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende appeared on television to distance the government from the film.Balkenende spoke shortly after the film, Fitna - in which Wilders draws links between terrorist acts by Muslim extremists and the words of the Koran - was posted on the www.liveleak.com website Thursday evening. In the run-up to the film's release, Wilders had described the Koran as a "fascist book" that incites people to violence.The prime minister told reporters during a press conference that the Dutch government regretted the fact that Wilders had decided to release the film, even though the government had asked him to refrain from making it public.The European Union condemned the film. "We believe that acts, such as the above-mentioned film, serve no other purpose than inflaming hatred," a statement from the Slovenian EU presidency said Friday."The message that goes out f...
