distance learning has gone on for ages, many people who do these degrees are already in work, they want to improve their education but can't afford to take time out so they combine the two. i would say they have good chance for social interaction as well as other useful skills such as discipline and time management.

wonderful, i want a really slow word processor thats got a trillion extra features i don't need, Excel is quite good but it doesn't do anything i couldn't do with another spreadsheet anyway. the worst thing about M$ stuff is their file formats, they change them with every release forcing people to upgrade inorder to read files from clients.
M$ Office must be destroyed and replaced by useful programs with stable file formats, preferably open standard. hey thats a neat idea, imagine if every word processor shared the same file format. u could do this with XML or even HTML anyway *now*
ahem, the game is better than that. just expore a bit and u find some more dinos, taken on the pterydactyls yet? the controls are ace, you can really "throw" your little rocket firing dino around. i don't think the game is that good but its quite decent. this doesn't seem a very newsworthy article however, just troll bait.
The thing with the Hong Kong entertainment industry in general is that it does not produce quality productions. Much of its ideas are not original and were "copied" from the West.
in your opinion, in mine they produce some of the best films in the world and the best music in the world (except for, perhaps indonesia). but thats just my opinion. however i take offence with you saying much of it is not original... when was the last time u listened to cantopop? 1989? nowadays its a very vibrant and rich scene, yeah they do cover a lot of songs but as the number of songs released every year is very high (the top stars usually release 2-3 new albums a year) then i guess they got to throw a few covers in here and there. but thats a cover version, same as madonna's current fiasco with american pie, some like covers others don't
In the music Industry, most of their singers/actors are just "good looking idols"
ask a girl, they'll tell u most of those "good looking idols" are ugly anyway! so how come they are so popular still? how can andy lau (for example) sell so many albums and have sold-out concerts? could it be because, actually, hes pretty good? naaa surely not. in any case HK music fans differentiate between the good looking and the ones who can actually sing. they are not as blind as you think. they know if a singer is popular just for their looks or not. an example is gigi leung, even some of her fans admit she can't sing too well but shes a great star all the same.
If one's work is of high quality, many people will not pirate it, but actually buy it.
dude, go into one of the many shops in HK selling pirate CDs and VCDs, they'll sell anyone. not just artists you think are not very good.
and i read yesterday that christina agrilola (or however u spell it!) ripped off a french pop song, so what? just because some songs are ripped off it doesn't mean every one is. considering HK artists are *very* prolific (the heavenly kings typically release 2-3 albums a year) thats 1000s songs a year maybe, theres gonna be a few copies slipped in i guess!
Not quite. "Linux" is pronounced more like "leeh-nucks", definitely with a long "i", not the often-heard "linnecks" or even "lie-necks". Also, note there's a "u", don't replace it with an "e".
my boss has got one in his board room, i think thats how i got my job actually because suddenly i said in the interview "isn't that a Lisa?" and he was very impressed. the display in there is quite cool, one side of the room a Lisa, the other a Next Cube

hmm i would have thought that the fact they didn't use cell phones in the first place meant they couldn't?
you wouldn't use Perl anyway you would use a real programming language like FORTRAN or PL/1 not a toy language for kids

and then she sees u and kicks u in the balls?
cool how l33t, another unix clone for X86
yeah we know, and there is a qt for PPC, otherwise KDE would have a bit of trouble running on my ibook
consoles seem better for people with small hands anyway
i had heard Office 2000's XML implementation had some problems
sorry Office 2000 does not work on my computer yet

i think he means using web browser model for naviagting your files and so on, not the desktop metaphor which was invented by apple wasn't it?
maybe he meant Bollywood
and the immortal HK dance track "we want some pussy"

well sex is can be less tiring than hacking perl or configuring X
leeh-nucks? sounds like linnecks to me
why bother, if the idiot cannot read the sales figures for him/herself then they won't be able to read this message
or i could try a USB mouse as i got Linux on my iBook, just that i actually *like* the round mouse!
