I was mostly curious to see if the scripts work, given the need for Coptic with the Camels. Sadly, unicode Coptic is hard to come by, but at least I got the Greek and the Hebrew to display correctly (well, mostly in the case of the latter).

Interesting, I always would have assumed that ASL followed English grammar, but if the subtitles are to be believed ASL handles articles and pronouns rather differently.

Okay, I thought my video was absurd - I concede to being trumped a thousand times over.
I'm not sure why, but this one (ignore the backwards subtitles) always brings to mind the whole TH faction story arc, especially the part where the monks (toasters, obviously) 'bear their cross' out of the ruins.
Also, it was a great TV series.

looks like the roll was successful. The short guide to the roller is:
- Start and end the roll with [ roll ] and [ /roll ]
- The actual dice designated are in xdy format, with x being the number of dice (up to 20) and y being the number of sides on each die (up to 1000)
- Bonuses and penalties are tacked on the end as +x or -y. Modifiers of this sort are applied after the dice are rolled.
- Multiple rolls of the same set are designated with x_ - for example 4 rolls of 2d6 would be 2d6x4. The maximum on this, IIRC, is 20 also

Far be it for me to tempt you after it sounds like you had a bad run-in with malware, but you know there are plenty of pretty reputable places you can get fandubs and not have to worry about getting infected. My experience has been that viruses and other shenanigans are only really an issue when you're digging down into the seedier places to find torrents (i.e. piracy-oriented sites)
I find Pirate Bay to be perfect for acquiring torrents. I've never had any malware issues from my downloads there, and some of the guys in the community post some really high quality stuff. used to grab movies within days of DVD release, and it was a straight DVD rip. They're even doing Blu-Ray now.
its worth a shot if ur thinking about taking another pass.

I find it truly tragic that copyrights are still being used to keep content away from consumers. That serves no-one's interest.
That being said, if you're willing to ignore the potential legal ramifications, the risks of picking up a virus from a fansub are actually quite low. In the realm of "lower than opening e-mails from your mother," especially if you stick to reputable sites, pay attention to user comments, and keep updated anti-malware software.
That said,
always back up your data.
Not to make this a war on the issue of copyrights, but I like them. If I ever want to make any money off the worlds that I've created for my novels, I need copyrights to ensure protection of my fictional universes. Plus, it wasn't just viruses that drove me away from fansubs; it just intensified the process. Luckily, I always have back ups for my most important files, but it was just a particularly bad one that got attached to a download because the translator was careless on a Macross Frontier Fansub that I downloaded from a reliable server. After that I just watched the rest of Frontier on Youtube. So I stopped directly downloading fansubs in 2008, but it was two other things that made me swear off of them forever. And one specific fansub that became the catalyst.
To make a long story shorter hopefully, the show was Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO episode 5 back in 2007 that started me to question their need. This fansub was suppose to be the best of the best in terms of translations according to the web and my friend who introduced me to the show. And in that episode, the subbers translated something as Zeon Republic. Okay, that shouldn't be that bad. Oh but it is. In terms of Gundam UC which IGLOO is firmly in, the Zeon Republic(Came back on January 1, 0080) ceased to exist after the death of Zeon Zum Deikum and the rise of the Zabi family who renamed the space based nation, the Principality of Zeon. Though in truth that isn't an accurate translation either, Zeon was never Zeon. It is in fact Zion. The translator for the Gundam Novels Frederick L. Schodt changed it for obvious reasons, and it has stuck since then.
This made me realize something. Fansubs can be great for stuff that will never come over especially when it there is no has chance for profit, but what happens when its translations create fan misconceptions. Plus what happens when a creators brings their stuff over to other nations either through a licensee or directly? In the case of Bandai Visual who eventually did bring Igloo to America when they directly entered the market for a period, it wasn't that good. It was mostly because their prices were ridiculous high like in Japan where one television episode on a DVD can cost maybe at the best thirty U.S. Dollars. However, they had a translation that actually made sense (the official translation was homeland for Zeon Republic). Eventually Bandai Visual due to realizing the US market isn't Japan decided to work better with their real US distributor Bandai Entertainment, and the best thing to happen to Gundam in years occurred. The near simultaneously release of Gundam Unicorn on BluRay on both sides of the Pacific with an accurate and lively dub to boot.
And even though there are multiply legal ways to watch Gundam Unicorn other than the Blu-Rays (you can watch it on Zune and Playstation Network for far less than the Blu-Ray plus a DVD is coming soon with the fist two episodes), there are people putting out a fansub or ripping the Blu-Ray to distribute online. What! One of the arguments for fansubs is that they help to encourage shows to be picked up for license. That was never the case with Gundam Unicorn which was planned as a simultaneous release from near the beginning. Even though Gundam Unicorn was a success, I vowed never again to watch another fansub in March of 2010.
I will not break my vow. I wish to see the full release of Gundam Unicorn, and I have to give up on seeing Legends of Galactic Heroes forever then so be it. It's my choice. And honestly considering the world today, I don't expect others to follow it. I understand their reasons since I use to download fansubs, so I don't judge. The vows has been helped by the fact that most of the shows lately from Japan have been highly moe, so it was easy to break the habit. If there is a show that I want to see some footage or sample an episode, most of the American distributors stream them somewhere legally. Thus it really wasn't that I don't understand how to do it right, it's I just choice not to do it anymore.
Well, I agree with you that this isn't the forum for arguing about copyright issues, but I kind of feel obliged to note that the blu-ray rips of Unicorn aren't fansubs - those are pirated videos, for exactly the reasons you described. In my opinion, this isn't a "shades of gray" issue - fansubs are a reaction to rights-holders deliberately witholding material from the english language market, whereas the motivation for piracy is to obtain an available product without paying for it (i.e. theft). I think conflating fansubs with pirated videos is a case of greatly oversimplifying the issue.
That said, I dig where you're coming from, so I'll nag you no further ;)
I actually have little to no issue with copyright laws. The major issue that I have, is with the software industry, including games, and that is in the form of the EULA. Telling me that by forking over 60 bucks for my copy of Gears of War 3, but oh i don't own the game, I own the LISENCE to use the game's code.
BULLSHIT, and other more strongly worded language. If i pay good money for something like that, its mine. I didn't purchase a lisence agreement from the developer. I purchased a piece of software from a retail vendor, who themselves are not a lisence broker, but an actual seller of products.
Anonymous has done alot of shady and stupid stuff, but their big DDoS attack on Sony, for going after the guy that originally broke the PS3 hardcoding, was one of their more high-profile missions i am totally in agreement with. The fact that someone else chose that same moment to hack the PSN was comedy gold, and only amplified to comedy platinum when it happened AGAIN, within 3 days of the PSN going back online.

I'm agreed with the not making this a war on the issue of copyrights thing, but I'm going to say that's a touch simplistic.
At this point in history, copyrights are wholly unenforceable and so essentially unenforced. If anyone is still making money off of producing content, it has absolutely nothing to do with copyrights.
But my point wasn't the obsolescence of Copyright, rather that it remains abusable and is still being abused.

Yes, sneakwrap agreements are egregious, and are actually illegal in some jurisdictions.
And as I have a dug hole for myself, here is a owner of a intellectual property doing some odd things with it. They created a cover of a song under Fair Rights Law of Katy Perry's "LA Girls", and then created the equivalent of a Anime Music Video with their own material. Honestly, it baffles the mind. Though I respect JediBear's opinion and his right to say it, I disagree as my right with his opinion. I believe that when copyright works it is a beautiful song that sings together, and it has been in recent years with the creation of a certain network by DARPA in 1969 that the issue has become murker and murker that has destroyed the harmony of the song that once existed and its understanding. However in the words of George Lucas, money is in the merchandising anyway.
So let's go back to silly videos!

That's actually tangential to my point, which was about when it
doesn't work. To be clear, there's no very good reason it should work at all now that reproduction has no economic value and government lacks the ability to enforce a monopoly on it.
Copyright abuse is as old as Copyright itself and the reason we have Fair Use Doctrine in the first place is that copyrights were indeed used to suppress criticism and parody (for that matter, copyright claims are still being used this way even though it's illegal,) educational use, etc. And no exception to Copyright law has ever made the outright suppression of a work illegal. Works have been suppressed for many reasons (often religious or political) or for no reason at all.
