the most important book ever to be written about the subject of comic books
This is probably the most biased review I've ever read. Somebody should be ashamed to write it even in a press release. It is the most important book about commics just for the authors and their friends, or if you think Marvel is really important in comic book history.
In the realm of comic books, sequencial graphic storytelling, Marvel and DC just publish a very limited set of themes: collant-dressed-anabolised-fantastic-powers heros. Comic books are a much richer form of art than this, see Moebius, Alan Moore, Crumb, Will Eisner and a lot of others.
There's a lot of options of email packages with spell check. What is really necessary is a TEXTAREA and richtext widget with a spell check. It would be a great boost to the "two way web", were users are not just consumers of information, but also the producers.
Imagine Slashdot and all the blogs out there without spell errors?
Rich and poor, very defined. Not different from US, UK, Spain...
It is very different. Brazil has one worst income distributions in the world. Brazil is the 10th economy of the world, but what make us an undeveloped country is the wealth distribution where 10% of the richest have 50% of the country wealth.
her dark skin and freckles. Egypt gets a lot of sun, and SPF 45 was still about 2,900 years away
There's a lot of evidences that the egyptians were a black people. Sure it is difficult for some white people to believe that the once greatest civilization in the world were a bunch of niggers. That's better to put Elisabeth Taylor to play Cleopatra.
This isn't implied consent. This is one of the worst interfaces ever done. You just have to refuse each cookie when the companies that make the browser are more interested in content providers profits than in the user privacity. Look at all these opensource browsers where you can, with just one click, refuse all cookies from a domain.
But the software code (of a brazilian company) is closed source. Just some technicals of the political parties had access to it. In the middle of the counting the most voted candidate had his result changed from millions to a few thousand votes (looks like an integer overflow). You can't trust a closed system.
If you want to use LaTeX to academic papers with lot of formulas and nice references with BibTeX, it is really great, but to use it as an all purpose word processor is a bad idea.
The first problem is to use tables. The markup for it with lot of &'s is really terrible. You'll suffer a lot counting the number of ampersands just for a simple table. You will miss HTML simple open and close tags.
The other problem is that your documents will all have the same dull face. You'll get a great typesetting, nice structure, but they will all look like an academic paper. Sure, with TeX you can do everything, but it isn't worth the hassle to modify it for what a good looking Word template would give you in seconds.
These laws follow the usual pattern of pro-corporate legislation. They usually are approved first in USA, then they try to apply it in all the developed countries. Suddenly all countrys that don't follow it are not serious ones. They will have to have similar laws to enter WTO
The best thing about micropayments is that you change who pays for a publication. Every publication out there is paid by advertisers. They must conform to the payer (lack of) values. If the payer of a publication is the final consumer, it has to satisfy the consumer. The final result? Media and art independence.
They sell it with a sticker that says that the album can't be copied, not that it can't be played in some legally bought CD Player.
The problem is that they are deceiving the costumers. They sell something that looks like a CD, feels like a CD, smells like a CD, but isn't one.
EMI says that they change the album if it isn't working. But: 1) Don't put int the label the phone to call if you have problems 2) Ask you to post the album (and paying for it) 3) You have to wait a couple of weeks to be able to hear your legally purchased album 4)If you have problems sending the CD for them, them you are at your own.
In the news in Agenda do Samba & Choro we publish the internal memo of EMI asking Sony not to make the disks with the CD Audio logo. We also publish a snapshot of the EMI music web page where they call the album a CD. How about this for deceiving the consumers?
Mastering Regular Expressions is, IMHO, the best nerd book example. Very well written by a knowledgable author, distils details of a interesting technical topic. A great read. The problem is that you will fall in love with regular expresssions. You will try to use it everywhere. Complex regexes will substitute what a handful of string find methods would solve cleaner (and maybe more eficiently).
Regexes are a little cute toy in a programmer toolbox. It's nice to use, but you'll be cursed forever by who mantain your code. Better use it just in weird string-replaces inside your text editor, throwing out after the use. A great refactoring tool.
Not just caring more about the subject, but they also are important for their independence. If my company depends on something, you can't expect me have a independent opinion about it. If it would be good for some company to have a mozilla control, how do you know that a rant about a COM control for mozilla is a sincere opinion, or just a claim to have browsers programmers working for free?
Who needs a new operationg system bootable from a floppy? Why use it if I can have a bootable CD with a complete kernel, python, apache etc. etc.. This project makes no sense. Outdated. Sure, embeddeble devices are cool, but there's a lot of people also working on it. There's no reason to blame the GPL for the end of LRP.
1024 X 768? Are you kidding? A monitor worth the money would give you at least 1600 horizontal pixel. It would allow to open at the same time two browser windows with 800px each. Great to compare information in two different web pages (as when you are buying for a new monitor).
A 29'' monitor with 1024x768 just give you bigger pixels. You can't have more information in your screen at the same time. You won't be more productive, just less money.
It is vital to their business to skip the dot releases. Microsoft have already released the version 95 of their OS years ago. And now they already have the version 2000!!! The free software is loosing the technological war.
If you like Brazilian music (together with Cuba and USA, Brazil has the most diverse popular music in the world) you can find it in stores like: Lojas Americanas, Submarino, and Som Livre, or right from the great little recording companies: Kuarup, Rob Digital or Biscoito Fino.

If you really want the best book ever written about comics, read Scott Mccloud seminal Understanding Comics.

Yes!!! We have a lot more fun in our celebrations!

Now another revelation: Egypt is in Africa!
Hey, Bill told us that open source is anti-america, then /. must also be anti-american.

Have anyone here tried the silent models? I've just bought three 10 years old Model M keyboards, but my wife hates the sound late at night.
Good explanation, but I wrote it and made the mistake:-). English is my second language, I read it fluently, but it's harder to write correctly.

This isn't true. Copy protected albums (they aren't CDs) here don't carry the CD Audio logo.

Wow! 125 degrees celsius is really a lot.
I have rules in my MTA to block a bunch of mail from DSL users. They bounce with a message telling them to your their ISP servers.
I spent a whole month tagging theses messages from DSL users. ALL of them were spam.
If they are legitimate users, they always can configure their outgoing email to relay from the ISP servers. Spammers won't do that.
Most people I know that drink light coke is fat. Conclusion: light soft drinks make you fat!
