Calls to the Government Printing Office seeking comment were not returned yesterday.

The office's one-paragraph directive listed the five pamphlets, with titles such as "Civil and Criminal Forfeiture Procedure" and "Select Federal Assets Forfeiture Statutes," and instructed librarians to "withdraw these materials immediately and destroy all copies by any means to prevent disclosure of their content," according to a copy of the e-mail sent to the Boston Public Library and all other depository libraries.

The directive concluded that "the Department of Justice has determined that these materials are for internal use only." (via MeFi)

I've just received a new phone, and can no longer lay claim to being the only guy in Japan without a camera in his phone. I got the Sony-Ericsson A1402S. Makes me stupidly ecstatic to have a phone that was in Gizmodo less than two weeks ago. Bliss. O! Coming soon: a needless MoBlog, no doubt.

Before moving to Japan, I sold my whole Warhammer 40k collection, in all its (variously) painted, unpainted, primed, and half-finished glory. Since then I occasionally get a jonesing for placing flocked trees and handmade building terrain across a table and going at it. Sometimes I make the mistake of following links to sites like France's Confrontation or the steampowered mech game,
Warmachine, and suddenly my wallet seems in dire peril. [must... resist...] (thanks, Rennie!)

The title from one source said, "Batsuit leaked?" (picture of suit) which reminded me that Michael Keaton's batsuit had little plugs at the base of the ankle to drain out his sweat. This one's probably not much more comfortable. (via Tim X, initially)

Update trois: See news footage of the Batmobile in action.

Japanese radio broadcast radio sucks. 10 years ago I brought an American CD-radio-casette deck over, and didn't care that the frequencies didn't match Japanese commercial radio wavelenghts. Radio is just halfhearted and lame. Cable radio, with a broader range as well as the ability to select exclusively within a given genre, was all the rage 10 years ago. It's still in use extensively for background music in shops and restaurants throughout Japan.

At my desk at work, however, it's a different story. I've previously posted a number of interesting websites carrying free, alternative, indie, or mashup MP3's, but have neglected internet radio. Here are two picks of which I only learned today (via tokyopia forum):

• KCRW (MP3 stream-link)
  
• Netmusique Radio (MP3 stream-link), nicely provides meta-info for bands in the stream, so if you like what you hear, you can look it up pretty easily. Which makes things a little simpler than, say, trying to find out whence the Penis Song came.

The Japanese commercial (.wmv) for the upcoming Tenchuu Kurenai game from From Software. That's Akebono, formerly the nation's top Sumo wrestler pretending to be a ninja. If they had worked in the distracting-cow-whistle-while-on-the-roof technique, this ad would be perfect. "Sugoi."

As announced at the Sandy Eggo Comic Con, Star Wars: Episode III's subtitle is (bum-bum-BUM!) "Revenge of the Sith." Note that the logo is nearly identical to the "Return of the Jedi" logo from 1983, which previously had been titled "Revenge of the Jedi." If I could, I'd be deadpanning the camera again right now.

I'm not sure if you can play this on LAN or if there's an easy way to stuff four people around a single PC and monitor, but the Mashed demo is out; the multiplayer game is a blast-and-a-half.

I bagged a Sony PSX today. This, after months of agonizing over it, researching other possible Personal Video Recorder options, and generally dragging my feet. In the end, presumed ease of use and the cheaper impact on the wallet won out over getting a cheap Windows or Linux box and a TV tuner card. I got the smaller one, the 160GB version, in the new silver color (default was white).

According to the way Sony seems to be positioning it, a PSX is primarily a PS2, plus some other media-related stuff, for about 3 times what a PS2 goes for. A PSX, according to the spec sheet, is a DVD-R and DVD-RW recorder with authoring software featuring rudimentary editing and chapter definition and templates for menu creation, HDD Recorder with scheduling software and keyword-based show-catching, music library (if you want your CD's compressed to ATRAC, which I don't), HDD-recorded shows can be dubbed to DVD, photo library (if you own a Sony camera, which I don't), network-enabled game with multiservice browser, et cetera. Et cetera in this case means a PS2 with BroadBand Adaptor and HDD (40GB devoted to games, though this is optional). And this is generally for the same price as an HDD recorder/DVD-R/RW combination. Right now, I'm using all of this massive power to listen to a CD (though the stereo sits not 3 meters from the TV) and watch a typically algorhythmic "visualizer" play eye tricks with the sound's waveform. I've tried a number of things to see how the unit deals with them, and already have a list of things I like and don't like.

First, Le Bad:
Setting up the intra-Japan region is strange; it's numerical as opposed to syllabic order (equiv. of alphabetical); maybe Japanese people all know that Osaka is "Region 84," but I didn't. This tells it what channels reside at each frequency.
Without first connecting the PSX to an access point, then setting up the Network Settings, it doesn't give any clue as to why the TV programming schedule isn't present. It just says "No Data" -- it's easy to picture this baffling many consumers.
Like the PS2, two positionings are approved for the standard use of the unit: standing or laid flat. Depending on what is chosen, all the cables come out the back or the bottom of the unit, including any attached DualShock2 Controllers. (pause) It just dawned on me that the thing didn't come with a controller. Remote, yes. DualShock, no. Hrm. Anyway, I'm not a guy who leaves controllers attached to the unit, because the cables end up flooping all over. With the Do Not Move instructions, as well as a little bracket that has to be removed to adjust cabling, I'm going to have to deal with a Controller being constantly attached. At least until I get a Logitech BlueTooth PS2 Controller.
VCDs are not listed as a playable media, despite being a common feature of any cheapo DVD player. A backup DVDs did not play past the first two seconds, though it did so without complaint on the US version PS2. I worry about DVDs not authored on the PSX unit.
The channel guide has advertisments on it. The left ¼ of the screen has paid advertisements, the middle one of which for some reason extends into the programming window. Before I realized what it was (an ad for the upcoming Muay Thai movie - Mach), I tried to select it (thinking it to be a "Making Of" feature). Ads in the channel guide; welcome to the future. Or the past, I suppose: cable-provided channel guides have had this for nearly a decade.
A general complaint against the DVD cartel: because DVD's can't be routed through VCRs, due to the copy protection, this is one more peripheral for which I have to use a separate, direct input on the TV. I had the option of going with the AV Multi (the modular cable that is used as the "out" on a PS2, and having that sticking out the front of my TV for-EVAR, or buying a modular-D Component cable. It bugs me that I can't just chain my peripherals one through another more easily. Hell, for that matter it bothers me that I can't dub a DVD to a VHS tape, to prevent the original media from getting scatched, clouded, fingerprinted, or whatever. But that's not a PSX issue, is it?
Fine. A nitpick then: the remote is white, even though the unit is silver. It's a detail, but this is supposedly a prestige product, I thought. Details!

Next, Le Good:
Good grief, for all the stuff in this box, ¥60,000 (what I paid) is a stunning price. So is ¥70,000, which is what it is supposed to sell for, but the hunnerd dollah discount my wife procured makes it all the more palatable.
In the Tokyopia forums a PSX owner said that moving from Game Mode to TV/Media Mode took about 2 minutes of incessant and inexplicable delay. I threw the Japanese verison of Klonoa (PS) in, and messed around to see how well the component video displayed. PS-era games benefit from some blurring, lemme tell you. When I flopped back to Media Mode, it took about five seconds -- less than ten, at least. It surprised me.
Network connection was a cinch. Everything was handled automatically, and was like this! (snaps fingers)
Slot-fed drive bays are stupid cool. Really neat-o.
D Composite cable delivered pictures are too sharp for their own good.
Programming what shows should be recorded regularly is a lot of fun with the channels and descriptions right there. I've got London Boots, Hey Hey Hey, and Samurai Champloo all queud up for recording.

Overall, I'm psyched to have it!

Cue the keening sad-type noises: Dead Rush, best described as GTA-meets-Resident-Evil, was one of the games that most excited me at E3. Now it's dead. And because Treyarch is internal to Activision, it likely will not become a Dead Red Revolver-style "back from the dead" success story. Which is ironic, considering the content.

Rick Berman, who has been shepherding the Star Trek film series, told SCI FI Wire that he has had "very, very early" talks with Star Trek: The Next Generation star and director Jonathan Frakes about a new Trek movie, but one that takes the franchise in an entirely new direction. "I spoke to Jonathan about a half an hour ago," Berman said in an interview July 20 at UPN's fall press preview in Los Angeles. "He's in Japan, and he's coming here [because] his film [Thunderbirds] is premiering Saturday here in Los Angeles. There are very, very early conversations going on about a film project. But they're so early that it's really kind of silly to talk about it now."

Berman added that the movie would not center on the Star Trek: The Next Generation crew, as have the last several movies. "The movie that we're having very early discussions about would have nothing to do with any of the characters that have ever existed on any of the Star Trek series," Berman said. "It would be an entirely new setting and an entirely new set of characters, and it would take place prior to any of the series, including [UPN's Star Trek:] Enterprise."

In the wake of the disappointing box-office performance of the last Star Trek movie, 2002's Nemesis, there has been little movement on a new Trek movie, and Next Generation cast members have said they are ready to hang it up.

If Berman's idea comes to fruition, it would mark the first Trek movie not based on a television series. (via comingsoon)

I've been tempted to install the latest RealPlayer for a month or two, as so many site are using RealMedia for their clips. Several times over the prior years I've installed RealPlayer, each time finding it excessively difficult to locate the link for their free player, and after finding it the damned thing tried to take over control of just about every form of media on the machine. Then it asked if I wanted to buy it, just about every day. It's not an uncommon problem.

Yesterday I found Real Alternative, which is apparently included in the KL-coded pack. It allows playback of a slew of Real Media formats without installing the Real player. I watched clips offa Comedy Central for about an hour last night. What a blast.

Most co-workers know me as Adobe fan from way back in the day, having started with PhotoShop and Illustrator in their earliest incarnations.

Famous Last Words in RPGs
#56 - "I've been here before. There are no traps in this section."

I need to learn things about what a garden means in terms of a Japanese garden. It isn’t about grass or flowers, it’s about placement of stones in a space to represent things. The theme of Expo is nature and specifically this area in Japan, Nagoya, is all about water. Also, one of the other themes of Japanese gardens is time. There’s this 15th-century Zen master named Dogen who wrote a book called “Enlightenment Unfolds.” His central question is “Are mountains aware?” I thought this sounds like [NASA’s] Ames [Research Center in California], where I just was. They’re trying to put consciousness into these Mars rovers—train them as geologists, crack stuff open. The problem is with their sense of place; where they are and where they think they are is out of alignment often.

I’m not usually where I think I am either. So being out here in the Rocky Mountains, I’m right now looking at this giant, giant rock, it’s kind of spooky.

Due to repeated incidents with Microsoft's Internet Explorer, the number of downloads of Mozilla and Firefox have doubled. IE has recently lost 1% of its domininance, presumably primarily to Mozilla products, though this could also include Opera. I also wonder if the handheld browser market is also picking up, which would likely register as non-IE hits as well. As one who has switched to Firefox (Windows) and Safari (Mac OS X), I can attest that the change was a little strange at first, but in a short time I was completely loathe to touch IE again. It's that different.

Then again, if security is the main impetus behind all these swappers, how about going the more overt route and switching to a more secure operating system?
