Five data points from Amazon.co.uk.

Best Sellers in DVD & Blu-ray

#1 Frozen - DVD
#8 Frozen - Blu-ray

All pre-orders for the 31 March UK Frozen release.

#12 Gravity DVD + UV Copy
#20 Gravity Blu-ray 3D + Blu ray + UV Copy

Are you seriously trying to argue the merit of a film based on ticket sales? Or about which hole some character in the film likes to fuck?

You haven't a clue about the content or themes of "Frozen," "The Hunger Games" trilogy or "Gravity."

"The Art of Frozen," out of print, and in fine condition, sells at the rare book price of $100. The sheet music for "Frozen" is #49 in book sales at Amazon, #1 in all categories of music book sales at Amazon, Frozen: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack

"Frozen" in 3D is #7 in DVD and Blu-Ray sales at Amazon.co.uk. Frozen [Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray] [Region Free]

3D, remember, is a video technology the geek fondly likes to think is defunct.

We are not talking about throwaways here --- we are talking products that a film's core audience consider an essential buy-in --- and it happens damn rarely on this scale.

The "merit" of the film isn't essential to my argument.

That a film released on Thanksgiving Day remains a top ten box office draw in the states past St. Patrick's Day is. That "Frozen" was successfully translated into at least 43 languages and a hit in every one of them means you have a product with a global reach and appeal.

That will have the producer of the AAA game or low-budget Indie sitting up and listening,

But if you insist on some measure of "quality," the Wikipedia lists some 59 wins and 94 nominations to date for "Frozen" in all categories. List of accolades received by Frozen (2013 film)

> But never give control of the printing press to politicians.

The current system gives a ton of control to politicians. Modern states are pretty much never constrained from doing what they want to do for lack of money. When's the last time you heard them say: no we can't go to war, it will cost too much ? As well as allowing them to spend money however they want, the current system allows them to *not* do the stuff whenever they don't really want to (eg when it would only benefit a group with no political power such as single parents or the disabled) by claiming its too expensive.

If the government invented the money instead of the bankers that would eliminate the need for taxation which would get rid of the main excuse for the government to keep tabs on everybody and everything. The IRS would disappear completely for instance. I strongly recommend http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Gr... . I did a couple of years of economics at university but this was a real eye-opener.

If you want to build a modern recreation of the Speccy (absolutely timing perfect too) there's a clone called the Harlequin which was designed by a guy who recently reverse engineered the ZX Spectrum's Ferranti ULA and wrote a book about it. The book's great:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-ZX...

There's a thread on World of Spectrum Forums - a German member has arranged to get the components and PCBs to make a kit. He may still have a few going if you jump in soon:

http://www.worldofspectrum.org... (go to near the end of the very long thread)

Also there is a Verilog HDL description of the ZX ULA on OpenCores (based on Chris Smith's reverse engineering work) if you like to play with FPGAs.

You're not kidding. "Orgy planner" was a valid career option in the days of Rome.

Google have read your comment and contacted Amazon for a bit of anticipatory shipping

The interesting thing about Android is the amount of money involved. E.g. in the UK

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Sellers-Electronics-Mobile-Phones-Smartphones/zgbs/electronics/356496011

Top selling phones seem to be between £158 (Samsung S3 mini) to £369 (Samsung S4). Now the lifetime is 24 months. So people spend £10 per month to keep their smartphone up to date. Most people don't do this explicitly, rather their telco sells them a plan for much more than £10 a month and gives them a 'free' upgrade every so often as a sweetener.

Now for PCs

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Sellers-Computers-Accessories-Laptops/zgbs/computers/429886031/ref=zg_bs_nav_computers_1_computers

Prices seem to be £300-400. On the other hand I bet the replacement time is longer. Many people mention 5 years. That's £5 or so a month. So they'd need to spend significantly more on laptops to get to the level of cash they spend on phones.

So it's plausible that people spend more money on keeping their smartphone up to date than their PC.

In fact that's quite plausible. Most people seem to have horrible, sluggish laptops but the very latest smartphone.

Of course if they bought one of these every five years it would work out differently

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-13-inch-MacBook-2-5GHz-Graphics/dp/B008BEYEL8/ref=zg_bs_429886031_6

#6 on the best seller list and £855. So that would be £14 per month assuming you replace it every five years. Incidentally this is one of the reasons why Mac OS taking over from Windows is not a good thing. Most people could get save money by buying one of the vast number of Windows machines compared to buying one of Apple's limited selection of admittedly very high quality machines. A small selection of high end machines means you probably need to spend extra cash to get all the features you need because of the cheapest machine lacks a few.

Of course Microsoft are doing their best to fuck up Windows, so it's not that surprising that people are jumping ship for Mac OS. Windows OEMs must be pretty pissed off at this.

A couple of decades ago there was a special forces unit, 14 Intelligence Company, who did undercover operations, primarily in Northern Ireland. I've read a couple of books about it (this is a good one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Operators-Inside-Intelligence-Company/dp/0099728710) and they all mention how operatives were given training in advanced driving.

In one instance, they were pulled over by police during training, but when they provided a code word they were allowed to continue.

So I guess they've always been doing this, but now it's just been formalised.

Special services officer: I can prove I'm secret services - I'll tell you the code word its "Guinness"
Police constable Paddy: very good sir - be on your way
Police constable Mick: wait a minute - how do we know that this is the secret word?
Police constable Paddy: good point mick - hey wait fella, how do we know that's the secret wordPolice constable Paddy: Special services officer: its nice to see you guys are so smart. I'll tell you what Paddy. I'll tell Mick the secret word then you can check with him
Police constable Paddy: ah, that's a fine idea.
Special services officer whispers to Mick
Special services officer: OK check with him Paddy
Police constable Paddy: Mick; Would the secret word be "Guinness"?
Police constable Mick: That it would Mick, that it would.
Police constable Paddy to Special services officer: OK sir, everything's fine you can be on your way now.
Special services officer: Thanks, it's always a pleasure to work with the boys in blue.

A statement like ... is highly misleading in the framework of Special Relativity

But it's also perfectly reasonable in the framework of an article about a celestial event that occurred on our intergalactic doorstep at no great relative velocity. You didn't even need to go as far as you did - surely the mere phrase "It lies 168,000 light years away" is equally misleading in the light of SR.

It is just a question of the observer's frame of reference (that's why it is called "Relativity").

While you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct, I don't think it's too churlish to allow the frame of reference to go unspecified.

But there is even a frame of reference that puts these two events at the same spot in space and time!

Same spot in space, or same spot in time. But not both, surely?

Or does every event overlap when you're a photon?

D = sqrt( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 + (z2-z1)^2 - c^2*(t2-t1)^2 )

It's amazing how much that sneaky little minus sign (right before c^2, it's in bold here but you'd never know it) implies for our universe. Have you read The Clockwork Rocket?

Once it gets into the hands of the pubescents out there, any social norms may be thrown out the window.

This reminds me of what happens in Baxter and Clarke's The Light of Other Days.

--- SPOILER ALERT ---

Long story short, access to cheap wormhole camera technology becomes ubiquitous. Everyone can see (and thanks to lip-reading software and the like, hear) anything happening anywhere. Among all the other societal upheavals, there's a passing mention of a couple of teenagers playing hide the sausage on a sidewalk bench in the middle of the day and no-one (by that point) caring.

Anyone who still cares for their privacy in this society wears a light-blocking cloak and communicates by touch in light-tight rooms.

By the end, they manage to send wormcams back in time, discovering (among other things) that the "first" single-celled organisms where in fact left behind by a race of intelligent crustaceans that evolved billions of years ago and were later wiped out by some kind of environmental disaster, IIRC. And yes, they did get a look at the crucifixion, but there were so many wormcams swallowing light in the sky that day that the sky grew dark and at the moment of Jesus's death, interference was too great to get a clear view.

Good book.

You could try halogen bulbs - I'm really picky about the type of light I like, but I find these are a drop-in replacement for incandescents.

I hadn't really thought about it before, but I just went to Amazon just now and looked at the menu. I found a "sell" option. You can choose to sell things personally (with deliveries potentially being fulfilled by Amazon, so I suppose that means that people can use the Prime service to receive items if you send them into Amazon first), or as a business. It's perhaps still a slightly different market to eBay, but it's definitely competing on some levels. Amazon do a lot more than just sell goods though..

One of the most enlightening books I ever read was Peter Woit's crticicism of string theory The problem with modern physics is that it now takes so long to learn what has gone before that you are past your productivity peak by the time you have the tools needed to be able to contribute. Put very simply - mankind is close to the limit of what we can work out. We need either a genius way further out on the curve than Einstein or Hawkins (who doesn't want to just become an investment banker...) or we need an extrordinarily lucky break. We won't be getting better data than the LHC has provided for another century,

We won't get better data than the LHC will continue to provide during the next decade or so, not until China one-ups everyone with a more powerful machine. You know it's bound to happen sooner or later.

Maybe some of that data will help make the problem simpler.

At the risk of becoming an advertising whore I'll post this agian. Peter Woit describes this perfectly from the point of view of a proper mathematician, trying to understand proper physics. It really does look to be all wrong, but you are wrong to attack Hawking - his coffee table book isn't why he's lauded; the idea of radiation from black holes is fundamentally game-changing.

You could achieve the same thing with a consumer-grade router and Open/DD-WRT. I have an OpenVPN server running on the router and a 1TB HDD attached to the router's USB port. The router, ADSL modem, and HDD must consume 20W max, so any home-grade UPS will give you days of service should the worst happen. I can access it from any computer, or even any device tethered to my mobile phone if necessary. My only issue is my upstream is pretty pathetic, so downloading large files from the NAS isn't really viable.

If it's for a technology that has had a newer version (or versions) released - probably bin it. Even a book a couple of years old will be massively out of for technologies that are advancing rapidly. e.g. a book on how to develop for iPhones that was released in say, late 2009, would be almost completely irrelevant now.

You win the prize for the least bright person I've ever had an on-going conversation with on Slashdot

I don't think we've had a "conversation". You've ranted incoherently. I doubt you lived through the 1970's here in the UK. If you had, I can't imagine why you'd think nationalised services were a good idea. I actually think you should read more. And if I could recommend a single book, not too heavy (at your intellectual level, it'll take about a year or so), it would be Hayek's The Road to Serfdom. Read it. Understand it. Then come back here and we can have an actual conversation, where you will attempt to justify your assertion that nationalised industries are better than privatised ones.

It seems to me that all of the evidence is on my side.

Give me a break

Certainly, since you ask so politely - do you prefer an arm or a leg?

Do you know my mother tongue, Shanghainese, has been banned in kindergartens for decades and special permits are required to broadcast in the local public media?

Is that a fact? Well, my native dialect, Vendelbomaal, was similarly "oppressed" by the Danish government. It was not taught in school, we were all discouraged from speaking or writing it, and all public communications were in the official dialect. And the Danish state-controlled schools say that Vendelbomaal is only a dialect of Danish, despite the fact that nobody else understands it.

Now, of course, the above is a parody of your words, but it is factually true; you can go and check it if you don't believe it. And there are very good reasons for calling Vendelbomaal a dialect rather than a separate language from Danish - it is to do with history, language structure, common roots etc. But that is in fact the same reasons why Chinese dialects are called dialects: you can trace the Chinese written and spoken language back to common roots (see Karlgreen: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Grammata-Serica-Recensa-Bernhard-Karlgreen/dp/9576382696/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1378996910&sr=8-1&keywords=bernhard+karlgreen), for one thing.

When the commie government blurs the facts, they are pressing the ethnic/cultural homogenization button.

When people start pulling out emotional scare words like "commie" and "ethnic homogenization", what they really say is "I have no more arguments, so I am going to resort to name calling soon". I think you are feeling upset and you want it to be somebody's fault; I'm sorry if this is the case, I really am.

Allen Carr's Easy Way to stop smoking

I used to be able to sit playing on my PS3 for hours on end with Uk Marlboro reds being virtually chainsmoked (up to 40 a day) until I read this book.

I read it, my wife read it and 6 months later I left half a pack of smokes on a table in a cafe. I haven't even desired a smoke since.
This was 5 years ago.

NLP or whatever that guy does sure seemed to help us quit the weed. I'd say that for the price of the book, less than half a pack of smokes, the chance to be smoke-free for even a month is worth the cost.

I am not schilling for him, this is a true story. Buy the used copy from Amazon, I don't care, he probably doesn't either after selling over 9,000 copies (oh, that's million, not thousands).
It just works and, even if you are saying "I enjoy smoking" like we were, the thing might just swing it for you at some point.

Good luck to anyone who is attempting to stop smoking, or already has.

It reminds me of 20 watt CFL light bulbs which have an 'A' rating. At least in the UK, it stops there; you can't get better than an A no matter how well a device performs (11 watt LED bulbs are apparently almost twice as efficient at 11 watt compared to 20). It's an artificial limitation which limits product innovation and efficiency. If you are going to use letters than at least go from A forwards through the alphabet, or even better, report the actual efficiency as lumens per watt rather than a blind, backwards system which can't imagine that the future could get any better.
