    Isn't this the "Suspence" mode I'd been using for ages with my Libretto? (20 seconds) Toshiba has it's own hack "hibernation" mode which doesn't save memory at all and resume faster (6 seconds) but it draws battery and is kind of broken in my notebook. Libretto 50 resume faster than L100, but that's because every component is less complicated.

  10. Re:Hey, grow up! on IF bugs, THEN marketing director eats insects · · Score: 1

    I have ate some (in Guang Zhou), it's kind of *look* like roach but it's not. It's got different name and you have to find them somewhere in the country. It's fixed with some medicine and basically you eat them as medicine.

    I tried it as some sort of traditional myth. I only saw it being sold on the street once, so it's very rare. Don't ask me how was it because I only remember some complicated and plain taste. Westerner who eat bug is very strange, they go for the protein and "freak/gross" factor, at least that's what I read. What's the point of that, impress your date or something?

    Don't let those people fool you, I never ate a cat and never talk to a young man who did. We eat big Mac now hehe.

    First MTV hacker, now this? Slashdot's movie secssion is not doing very well my friend. Who give a **** about Jake Lloyd.

    What you guys should do is help out that bacon in aint-it-cool-news ;)(or darkhorizon if you prefer) to write a rdf channel like slashbox or mynetscapeBox. Have you check out the AICN code lately, these people writes the WOrST code I ever seen, going there with java enable is kiss of depth.

  16. You don't understand, it's perfect for dictionary. on Mainstream Books for Palm Pilots · · Score: 1
    I never liked the idea of electronic books as a replacement for printed ones. And the idea of "selling" electronic books, ugh. I like printed, nicely bound books. I guess it's kinda like the mp3 vs. CD thing though.

    Dictionary, two language dictionary, encyclopedia. Just like mp3, you can carry 100 CDs on a libretto and merely 5-7 real CD on the road, palm can carry much more than the 2 books your back can support. Think about how much easily if college students can carry a palm instead of 4 giants books to school. Actually the bricks my little cousin (jr high) carry is pathetic, I would much prefer she download a book. And those aren't elegant books either, they are not better than a glorified palm.

  20. Well... on Feature: Why Being a Computer Game Developer Sucks · · Score: 1

    You should read more Hollywoon tradepaper, because a mature Game market should very much resemble the entertainment business.

    When you read that The Fnglish Patient beat out Fargo, or Babe: Pig in the City bomb in BO, maybe you will feel better.

    If you want more fair/stable environment, your hardware upgrade cycle has to be longer than a couple of years. You still don't give console enough credit.

    Really want something that can exploit PC's potential, how's this for an idea: A stradegy game that's skinable, user will make their own figure, map and storyline. (kids will make pokemon saga and Slashdoter will make Redmond Monster.) A skin editor that is opensource and modular. You make money off of the host gamename.org.

  23. Re:Great News on Microsoft's New Audio Format Cracked · · Score: 1
    Yay, that is so great! Now we'll have to wait even longer for cheap singles to be sold on the Internet from legitamate sources. We are now left with three choices: 1) Going to MP3.COM and downloading music from guys whose studios are in their garage. 2) Going to Lycos and spending an hour trying to download an Mp3. 3) Or paying $16 for a CD with many songs we don't want or like. This is such great news indeed!

    honestly, couldn't agree more. I try to "download" some Sarah McLachian from NG (not loser ISP newsgroup, Newsguy.net), but only getting the latest CD from the there, even with search utility. And I know I have no shot in hell getting them from ftp sites with my carppy modem (completes with you guys' T1? I can't even upload mp3 to those ftps for crying out loud.) Now I move to ebay, buying them and dumping them back to ebay. -I have my defends, there are a lot of movie soundtrack I would like to listen. And I know I can't afford 10% of them. At least it's somewhat legal.

    For example I don't care about Western but I'd like to put my hands on a couple of "How the West Was Won" soundtrack, and there's nothing short of paying amazon 26 bucks can I get them. These example shows that electronic music can really provide genre/niche music to broader audience. Just like what VHS did to movie. I say start electronic distribution from classical music and soundtrack, honor system works better in there. Or release the new songs to CD and release mp3 18 months later just like video tape. (If you can still remember "baby one more time..." 2 years later, the chance are you will pay it.
