If the subs are based off of the latin alphabet AND the background behind the subs are a solid color, then there's probably an easy way to do it with OCR. You would probably still have to adjust the timings a bit as the raws are probably different versions compared to the TV rips. If the subs are pu...

I know this from reading the sides of the coins. You do know they're labeled. And in English?

I say, don't be bitter about it. If you both tried hard to make it work, and it still didn't, then it wasn't going to work as a long term anyway. Besides, her relationship with your best friend does not really have a higher chance or working either. So when things calm down a bit, try to remain frie...

I'd say she's not interested, and just wants to be friends. In most cultures (Asian, European, Mexican... of the guys I've talked to... and even some Americans), it's considered the norm for a guy to pay for the entire meal irregardless if he's actually dating the girl or if they are just friends.

Yes, although it should be noted that it takes a child up to five or six years to achieve full fluency, while immersed in the environment. Even if, as an adult, you would only need half the time because you already understand the social protocols and abstract concepts... that's still an awful lot of...

You're probably better off finding the original Japanese translations and using machine translation for that case. Something like Systran would provide less-intelligible, more-accurate gibberish than Google Translate (which uses n-grams). As for the first-second pass thing: That would only apply to ...

You need x264 codec for it, as it says in the file name. You may need to update your CCCP. Or consider switching the to Mega K-Lite pack instead, which includes both the x264 codec and real-alternative for playing realmedia files in whichever player you want. You can find the Mega K-Lite codec pack ...

Well I looked up a couple at btchina.net, but the only ones that seemed to come up that were highly recommended were 海豚灣戀人 (At Dolphin Bay) and 流星花園 (Meteor Garden). At Dolphin Bay didn't have any seeds, and none of the Chinese versions of Meteor Garden had Chinese subtitles (I downloaded the two h...

Yes, "gan" in 4th tone means to do, which has become the bad 'f' word equivalent in English. For an interesting case of bad mistranslations go here: http://www.languagehat.com/archives/002392.php Here's a thread regarding bad words (in Chinese): http://www.golivewire.com/forums/peer-yeyept...

Actually German isn't that difficult and uses for the most part short sentences, I always found French and Spanish to have much longer sentences for the same things in German. Wow, you must've learned different German and French than I have. :scratch: I can't say anything about Spanish, though, sin...

It's the number of programs open, in a sense. Each program needs a little RAM, and when you run out of ram, the computer fakes it by pretending things written on the swap file are also part of RAM. (This is why it's also the Virtual Paging Memory.) I'm assuming you're using windows, because in linux...

Debates on forums aren't really things that I want to see. They easily get out of hand and become places for people to just rant and I don't really want to see that. Once too many people get involved in Q&A it becomes difficult to discern what is fact and what is opinion, especially in any publ...

Very few moon cakes have actual meat in them. However, some have egg yolk fillings, and there are definitely egg products in the dough. Also, they might use animal oil. As far as I know, they don't use alcohol in making them.

Btw, can't see your pic.

Maybe it's better to stop being so German. Write in short, simple sentences instead. That way, she can't misunderstand and you can still express yourself.

Werewolves also don't have any base in any Asian country. The Asian version of a "werewolf," or a creature like it, is the nine tailed fox. For some reason the only shows/movies about nine tailed foxes I can think of off the top of my head are Korean. Nine Tailed Fox One of the stories in...

Vampire Host is a wonderful vampire drama! I LOVE it! I've watched RH Plus , but didn't really like it. There are quite a few HK drama with vampires (both Chinese vampires and western). I've watched My Date with a Vampire which is really long and has three or four seasons, actually. I enjoyed the f...

I hope kamiru2374yakusoku flunked his writing class. Choosing such a biased x vs Y subject like this should've been flagged by his teacher from the get-go.

I stayed in the Smart Russell Hostel, which is really convenient area (near the British museum, and in the middle of zone 1, so you'd only need to buy the tube--aka subway--ticket for zone 1). It was really cheap because I booked early, but beware that it's messy and it's quite noisy at night if you...

Well, TLS is subbing it, or so it says in the fansub map. If no episodes have been released it just means that they haven't finished any yet. TLS is known for being slow, except on certain Japanese projects, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

I eat whatever I want. I'm not fat, but I'm not skinny either.

Bittorrent works like this. If there are peers a, b, c, d and seeder e. Then, peer a would first ask b, c, d, and e which pieces they have.

On d-addicts, yes, it's hard for the seeder, because many people here have ADSL or other reason for limiting their upload speeds to be significantly lower than their download speeds. In an ideal situation, the number of peers doesn't matter. They would all upload at least as much as they download, s...

Sure, guys and girls can be platonic friends, but I think it needs to develop into that over some time.

Prostitution goes back to Biblical times (and even earlier than that), and in a way, it's no different than offering marriage for money, or going out with someone because they can be your sugar mommy/daddy. Marriage for love and free sex are very recent concepts, which is not to say that I think it'...

Well, if you're going to say that, you might as well say that some people just like being objectified and used, though I suppose that's not as common as for monetary reasons.

You know, I wasn't really serious when I suggested you use erotic services. That only works if you're going in with the proper mindset, not if you're looking for a girlfriend replacement.

Hmph... there's nothing wrong with being [mostly] vanilla. I think everybody enjoys variety, but it's very... close-minded to label people, or limit yourself to one or the other.

On the contrary, I don't think 8k is not unreasonable, though it's definitely on the expensive end. And being a student has nothing to do with it.

Everything in moderation, including hair. A guy shouldn't be hairless (unless he's a swimmer). Some hair is nice; it adds a different type of texture, if you know what I mean.

Wow, the amount of stereotyping in that post totally blindsided me. Um... I don't live in Canada, so I don't know about Canadian Asian girls. However, since your post includes "westernized Asian girls", I feel that I can respond. 1. If an exchange student manages to date you and marry you,...

Yes, I think it's worthwhile to point out that while viewers may want to try a show, they have no obligation to finish watching a show through even once. Many people download shows with the mentality, "Oh, I'll try it and see if it's any good" rather than "I must finish it" becau...

Definitely. I watch all my TWdramas without subs... But then again, I do speak Chinese. I've also watched Zettai Kareshi and a couple of other manga-based drama without subs.

If you make a statement like "I love Asian men", I don't see why an Asian man can't make the statement "I love Asian women", which is basically the part that you are agonizing over. Every time I see a post like this (as in the "I love Asian men, but why do they want only the...

Question one: I would think that it's nice of him to say so, and take it as a compliment.

Um... I think if we were really to talk about fetishes... it would not be appropriate for this thread.

Erm, each of the video game is the story of a different generation. So the characters in CP2 are the kids of the characters in CP1, etc. At least, this is usually true for Chinese game series. So, maybe Hu Ge is playing the grandson of his character in CP1?

ethidda

Chinese Paladin is based off of a series of chinese pc rpg games. There were many. many of them (at the very least 4). So they might just be making a show from the third game and skipping the second one.

Yeah, there are a lot of lurkers at the forum who are either bots or trolls.

Also, demonoid is actually not about Asian drama, but about torrents in general.
