If they are going to run theatres as they do the airline company, it doesn't matter if the seats are cheap. Cheap is still better than Zero, which is exactly what the cinema industry seems to get on 80% of their seats. The actual, base line, cost of showing a movie, or flying a plane remains the same no matter the number of occupied seats.. THAT's why this will work.
Don't think that EVERY seat is going for 20p.. some will, but certainly not all!
The same words are used in a different way depending on a thousand variables. I've found that almost everything has a "second meaning" in Spanish, just as in any other language. Being able to communicate is far more important than being gramatically correct all the time.
I live in Denmark, which is a very small country. We HAVE to know at least a couple of other languages. Everybody is taught English and German in school, some choose to add French, Italian or Spanish as well.
Some say that it becomes easier to learn a new language, the more languages you know in the first place.. I don't know, the jury is still out on that one for me...
One thing is certain, it becomes easier to 'get in contact' with the locals, when you are traveling.. IF you know what I mean;-)
The fifties, the transistorradio.. it's a Sony The eighties, the walkman.. it's a Sony The naughties, the iPod.. it's an Apple....with 30% of the mp3 player marked it seems..

..It's like "taking the fifth" and not being an American.. or not even being in the US, you can't do it! Different country, differet rules, it's that simple
Oh, by the way, don't try demanding a Spanish, German, French or Italian police person to read your "Miranda rights".. you don't have them in those countries.. you have other rights, but people generally doesn't know them.. they know the Miranda bit though.. in any of the above languages because of oversatuation and translation of american movies.
What I do is rather simple.. I filter all mail through my adressbook. If you are not on the list, I don't care about your mail.
This way, I only get mail from 'known sources' into my INBOX, the rest goes to a SPAM folder. Every few days I'll quickly scan the headers of the SPAM folder to see if I have some mail from somebody who should be on the whitelist.
Maybe, just maybe this has to do with the backlighted Apple logo on the back of the iBook screen. (the cover, lid, whatever)
By applying for a patent on this idea, Apple secures that no other laptop producer removes the light isolation on the back of an LCD screen to allow light to shine through a logoshaped part of the lid of the computer. The only part of the computer you can see in a dark conference room, I might add....or?
...some 4 years ago the company found out that it would be a really good idea to scrap the anual grocery basket and replace it with company stock options. That is, each person would recieve one stock and thereby a small part of the company.
At the time one of theese babies would run you about 550 DKR's on "the street", today it's about 175 DKR.. the gift is still the same though: "one stock option".. oh, and it's bound for 7 years.. TODAY, 1$ is about 7.5 DKR..
Maybe this would be a good idea for the kids? Here you go, your present this year will be a small part of something you can get your hands on, 7 years after you move out of the house!:-)/klang

I have fond memories of a time when lyrics.ch wasn't restricted.. it was a f****ng good service! It even helped me find out which cd's to buy (in the days before mp3) in order to get a specific song.
I would definately recommend UNDERWORLD's "Dark & Long" for serious Perl hacking. (trance) [this record contains "the lost" track from the TRAINSPOTTING soundtrack, and it's bitchin']
If other hand, I am classing some Java code, I'll use something by KOXBOX, "Dragon Tales" would be my first choice, "Forever After" my second. (goa)
The Crystal Method, Fluke and BT (IMA or ESCM) all have a fast repetitive beat of about 140 bpm, wich about matches the speed I type with, when things are going really well in:-)
Most of the above artists have little or no lyrics and I have heard the records so many times, that I really only hear the absence of "office talk" => I can fully concentrate on my coding!

I read Ender's Game and the three sequels during the same month, and that was a mistake. Orson Scott Card repeats himself too much in the latter books, and you get the feeling, that he thinks you can't remember what happend 700 pages previously. THAT was the most anoying factor in the sequels.

That can't but hurt the gadget part of Sony.

RIAA has no hold over Norway.
See there are theese little things called borders in the real world, so no matter what happens in this case, it only applies in Norway.
BUT, it still means that you should hold on to your copy of DeCSS, because you woun't get it from a site in Norway any time soon.
Norway might be a "pseudo-communist utopia".. but you are actually allowed to SAY that...
