Actually the original stories were a lot more gore than the Grimm or the Perrault versions. Take "little red hood" for instance. They found it too gore for young people, especially young girls, and some parts were senseless to them. So they cut off all that was bothering them. They were in fact part of an oral tradition of stories which brought meanings to various stades of life in the countrysides of Europe. And you couldnt understand such stories either if you didnt know the way they were living. Which neither the Grimms nor Perrault did.
Funny to see that the trend that Disney is following when putting those stories from books into pictures, and taming then in the process, was already in action then.
Here are the missing parts that you won't find in those books, or in cartoons, and that I was taught in an Anthropology course:
in the story: -the wolf don't talk about shorcut, he says she must take the cisors way, not the needle way. (writers didnt understand that one) -the wolf kill the grand ma allright, but he also prepares a nice meals with it: meat rolls and heart prepared in blood sauce. (boudin in french). -The girl is offered a nice meal before the "big eyes" part of the story, see above. Yes, she eats it. -She is eaten by the wolf in the end. Yes, no hunter, no woodcutter, no droopy to the rescue, no high kick. She is dead.
Countryside life in the areas where that version was told: -girl were taught what they needed at "wise women" houses. As long as they were considered child, during the sewing lessons they were allowed to use only needdles not cisors. They were allowed to use them anly after becoming young women. -When they became young women, there was a huge party in the village where the main meal was pig meat rolls and heart in blood sauce.
All in all, the original story is a lot darker (or more red), yet it contains more sense once you know it's an initiation story for women in a time when there was such an initiation.
ibm didnt believe in the desktop PC market and gave the baby to microsoft. microsoft didnt believe in the internet or free software and google is the one riding this wave.
Instead of hiring microsoft to do their censorship work, the chinese government might consider hiring slashdot. What a nice AND democratical way to censor sites: you just submit a link to slashdot and wait for the servers to melt or for the isp to ban the poor bandwidth sucking fellow. Wait, they don't have to pay to achieve this, oh too bad! No profits for slashdot!... Blackmail?
It's now about the primacy of elected bodies. which is why people voted no in France to the so called constitution since it didn't established the power of the democratically elected body.
it's not very clear how they come up with the value for the brand or even who qualifies for the survey They measure the increase in advertisements of said companies in Forbes.
"OK, McFly, here's the gun. If you can kill your own father and thus erase yourself from existence, we'll know the theory was wrong." -"Hey! I'm not that stupid! I wouldnt do that!" -"Chicken!"
That's not his job. I'm pretty sure he knows about the pros and cons, the difference and similarities, between their kernels. People who design software and UIs have to use all systems, and they do.
The fact that it is slashdotted now and not when the comment was published (i knwow, i went there then, and on robin too) show, on the contrary, that most people don't.
They start to be an issue when they compell more and more players out of the game for monetary reasons: the suggestion that Lost Coast could need as much as two gigabytes of RAM to run HDR optimally not every one can upgrade his computer every 2 months.
'Among lots of other interesting poop, Lionhead chief Peter Molyneux reveals that there will be five poops to the series, each poop following the progression of the relationship between the citizens in the game and the poop, represented by the player.'
From an end user standpoint, the other important point apart from energy is that the drop of 20C in temperature means that you don't need to run your fan at full speed. With a nice fan and a rheostat or a motherbard that supports the quiet part of "cool and quiet", it means almost no noise.
Of course, you read the 200 pages of the "finding of facts", where the browser is just the tip of the iceberg of illegal practices to bully "partners" into maintaining their monopoly? Try "microsoft monopoly" in google, it's the first link.
From the same site: http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/16/meyer.html Many fans are aware that Meyer collaborated with critic Roger Ebert on the script for the notorious sex 'n' sleaze epic Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. But according to Meyer, Ebert also helped write Supervixens, Beyond the Valley of the Ultravixens, and Up! This man can't be completly bad.
I play videogames since space invaders in 78, and I have played every genres on every medium (vr apart) ever since, so I think my view of videogames is rather broad. The problem of console is that there is a trend there to reduce the gameplay experience in many genres, and then they port the games as is to the PC arch. A recent exemple would be pariah.
Of course, this does not only apply to fighting games and every other games that are played quite well with a pad. But I thought that it didnt deserve to be said, being rather obvious.
As for the joystick, I think even the pad wich is quite great for some type of games, is worse than the one button joystick I had before this kind of pads appeared. I had a microswitch joystick wich made every shooter a breeze to play with a one pixel precision which was very important to slalom between myriads of laser trails. And it made games like street fighters style fightin games very pleasant, since you didn't destroy your fingers skin when doing tons of combo moves.
There are other exemples. But they all comes down to the perspective of the media. Console are cheap and are marketed nowadays (nintendo apart) by people whose objectives is mass market in its most bastard way. They dont thing about games at all, they think about selling the most at the lower cost. Period. And they are getting at the PC now.
Slashdot Mirror
I remember the days when there was more Nathalie Portman and less Cowboy Neal.
Something isnt right at slashdot, nowadays.

Hmm, how long have you been fantazing about bumping into your Mom so that a different sperm would impregnate her?
"OK, McFly, here's the gun. If you can kill your own father and thus erase yourself from existence, we'll know the theory was wrong."

4) Is it duplicating something from today: NO :D
Then it didnt pass the 4th test either.

The commission itself advices the use of microsoft or red hat internally.
So you have a point.
Users arent that stupid, they KNOW they have to click on some buttons!
They will just turn it off.

It would then have been called "The Chewbacca Offense".

I know that, I just wish the console users would use them, which means that all games that would need them should be designed with them in mind.
