Debbie: why do you access me, when you know that makes things hard for me? Why do you tag, and link to me? Why do you telephone? And why, why, why do you write me silly notes on paper? I am so sick of you, Debbie. Why, why do you hack me? It is just to see the things that you know I am writing about you...
Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college! You don't know what it's like out there! I've *worked* in the private sector. They expect *results*.
And in Japan again, websites such as ONTV JAPAN will let you access a personalized TV schedule through your cell phone and send "record this show" emails to the email address that is being monitored by your Toshiba DDV/HDD recorder.
Did I mention that this functionality is essentially free? Not a "less than 5$ a month" slow-bleed "service".
Toshiba DVD/HDD recorders in Japan have internet connectivity (through a standard ethernet port) and can get retrieve new scheduled recordings from specially formatted emails through a POP3 account.
Format is detailed here in japanese. Could not find an english language equivalent. Does Toshiba even sell their HDD recorders outside Japan?
At the moment, extra snow that the resort creates to extend the ski season is pumped from surrounding creeks. While this water is perfectly good, it often contains suspended matter from wildlife in the area. The treated wastewater would have all solids removed..
Why not use their wastewater treatment system to purify the creek water instead? Then they won't have any PR problems.
Unless they have plans to commercialize the purified wastewater.
It's more expensive for two tickets to see a movie then it is to buy a new release DVD at the Suncoast that is 100ft from the door of the theater.
And this is why, here in Japan, my wife and I hardly go to the theater anymore.
It is now 1,800 yen (14.52 USD) a ticket. So for the price of 2 tickets (~30 USD), we can get two DVDs with free shipping.
Couple that with the fact that movies are released in Japan when the region 1 DVD is already available (at least 6 months later than the US), you can see why there is not much incentive to drive down crowded roads and play fender bender in a matchbox sized parking lot.
Also 16:9 TVs are dirt cheap and appartments are so small, you can almost imagine you are in front of a 50' screen.
The name of the 48fps film that Roger Ebert wrote
about is "MaxiVision48". Quite an interesting read, but when digital projection/filming improves, 48 fps will seem like a slideshow.
If warranty length is any indication of reliability, then iPod's flaky too!?
From iPod's specs:
iPod also includes a CD-ROM with iTunes 2 software and electronic documentation, a getting started guide, and a 90-day limited warranty.
#4 - Reliability. PB5300s be
damned, Apple makes decent stuff. I'm on my second NJB, and its starting
to die too. Creative puts a *90-day [nomadworld.com]* warranty on the things, they're so flaky. Really.
