1. I really havn't brought a cd rom for my libretto yet, really. (my next spear 500 dollars will go to a kenwood audio system, pcmcia cd writer will have to wait.) That's why I don't have office 97 on my pc even though i have the cd.
2 There's no free mp3 encoder for win. My CDex is buddy as hell anyway. I have downloaded the winlinux and brought a 14k "linModem", turn out too lazy to install anyway.
3 The problem of carrying a stack of cd with you is that very inconvenient and I wouldn't risk to lost them. Cheap blank cd made by cheap recorders offen has one or two "cracked" tracks, the trouble of re-recording is enough to turn you off.
- On the other hand, 24kps stream is almost unbearable. My solution is don't bother to listen to music at school. (No, a cd player is unacceptably big for this libretto owner.)
Okay I'm Chinese, but this is the greatest game I'd ever played! Not because of the Japanese Fetish (TM) stuff, but the best graphic I'd ever seen for a 8mb game!!!!!!!!
Yes there is a zillion different endings. All depends on how you treat your adopted daughter. If I can't make a living by drawing stuff with my hand in the future, at least I'm a big anime/manga fan. This thing's drawing quality can be rated the right up there with Mr. Miyazake's movie posters! The Sequal is very good too, but by that time (95?) I don't play game anymore. My tears can fall down right now when I think of the fun I had playing this game.
They charge $100 for 3 years. This one has lcd and all. The catch: you use it at least 10 hours a month, if you want to quit and/or don't use 10 hours/month, they'll cancel your membership and you'll be charged $200-$500 (depending on when you cancel).
Maybe someone can put a hot swamp hd on it! It's very cheap anyway!
Using digicam to take picture wilder than 28mm or longer than 200mm is like using perl to write a OS. Nuff' Said. You are the guys who can't tell 128kps and 256kps mp3 anyway, so what's different. Saying digicam can replace 35mm film camera is like saying web can replace book/paper, which actually there are some moron believes in. Now I'm not talking about the 5k digital back that takes real Nikon, Canon lenses. I'm talking about the stuff Olympus and Kodak throw at you.
I won't say these people concern about content over quality. Because you people are the same who drool over DVD. In this sense Rob is a hypocrite, because you are only worshipping the media/new technology, and don't really have a opinion and taste on the story/music/movie/game/picture.
btw Pentax really ought make a low end digital back, something in the range on 1k. I might be able to buy one. They can collarborate with Sony, which doesn't have a mount and lenses line. I don't think Sony will work with others ought.
According the latest rumor, Microsoft will release a PocketPC handhold organizor with every copy of windows 2000 perfessional edition. Comsumer will pay a new price of $700 for the operation system.
when ask about the 500 dollar price increase, an anonymous Microsoft staff point out, it's the development cost of the revolutionary device knowen a PocketPC that is directly embeded to the file manager of Win2000. When ask why a physically separated device is an inseparable park of the OS, the about manager hand out a VHS video tape showing how a win2000-installed PC frequently blue screen (TM) if not "ActiveSync" with the said PocketPC device 3 times everyday.
Nothing on color screen is readable in direct sunlight. My libretto can't show shit in those situation. And that's active TFT. Gameboy kind of b&w is much better. I won't use pda while walking though.
Any cd to mp3 encoder charges money, the one I have CDex was downloaded before they take the lisense seriously. It's quite buggy, please don't bother to tell me a link for free mp3 encoder, I have way pass the limit of storing musics on hd. And I have decided to not rip off music artists.
At least for normal distribution, on win platform a free encoder is hard to come by. This will make people storing music on harddrive easier. (Pogram utilized this format won't even mention the format, just like Sony only say "digital music " to you, and everybody believes that minidisc is supposed better than mp3.)
I believe it's good for before 4/4/2000, and not NY FL residents for the beta test. According to the suppose rules, I wonder if I can "fake" the referal for my family and friends. Not that I can find 25 friends and family.
yeah when I get moderation. Sometimes I just get that for no apparen reasons. moving left right on a 233 machne with ie is a absolute nightmare. I will have to save it on disk and read with lynx. Slasdot.org is browser coders' nightmare. Besides the nn3 crasher yankees.com
Hotline is crap. It needs foreplay which bore me. Napster is going in a bar and pick up whatever you can find.
So I was still moral struggling if I should rip off Mr. Miyazake, the hotline guy tell me he doesn't interested in A Clockwork Orange's soundtrack. What? These guys are nuts. You can never find anyone fit your taste. I much rather dig a used copy in ebay, which is legal.
You people are really doing it the long way. A fucking RCA VCR $120 can do the ad filter for you, uses dead cheap media (.8 to 1.0 for 2 hours, how much that consume your hard drivein compatable quality?) Better once can even control cable box, good luck setting up those with your X10 or whatever.)
What happen tomorrow a toaster and a launtry can be connected to your pc? YOU STILL HAVE TO PUT THE BAGEL IN THE TOASTER YOURSELF.
What I don't understand is why can't they have vary bandwidth technology. i.e. Fox has 8 channels and nbc got 10 (broadcast, not cable.) Fox decide to show low qulity tv while NBC decides to show true high definition, which uses 3-4 subchannle bandwidth.
When they premiere movies like Titanic (just an example, it has the highest broadcast tv premiere right) Fox will use 5 channels to show it too. So when you click to Fox1, Fox2...Fox5, the TV will show the same high definition picture.
A lot of local show really don't need high quality, they just waste good camera/film. They are already talking about digitally store the cartoons shows, which will have lower quality.
Don't think media quality will go down? This has already happened, APS films are pretty bad compare to 35mm. It doesn't even have 800 speed, which is useless with its tiny lens, but nobody knows about it. Don't even let me start with the digicams.
So when world series comes, we can have 3 channels for the high quality main behide-the-catcher cam, 2 sub channels for first base cam and center field cam. Fun!
This webtv bashing is really piss me off. This is pure linux elitism. Bashing aoler is reasonable since they pay moron money. Webtv is fucking cheap, what do you want from the users!?! A used one is what 50 dollars. The webtv users's biggest concern (as far as the one I know) is getting a usable credit card to start surfing, not any more stuff.
Webtv can pay real audio, partal js. What do you want. (okay I aware of that $99 flag screen webpad deal, but that's 3 years after webtv.) Webtv's "os" is lightyear smaller than CE and probably better than a scale up EPOC.
AND FOR YOUR IGNORANCE OUT THERE, webtv's browser's way more ergonomic than nescape or ie. ERGONOMIC. Do you understand that word? It never pre-render the page to give false expectations. It never give confusing massage in the message bar ("100% loaded" anyone?) It just have a rotating glode to make you feel time pass faster when loading. I have 4 versions of netscape and lynx and ie5. My default browser is nn3.04, maybe I know what I'm talking about.
How many times do I have to club you to remind you that webtv doesn't take off because microsoft brought it, not the other way around. Webtv's business model make money off hardware and isp plan. The "OS" is free, and the flash upgrade is free as well. How do software maker, ms make money off it?!?!!?
If webtv become the standart low end browser, how is MS going to make money, or leverage with other platform. The darn thing is so simple (which is the what the web supposed to be, I'm sick of this html 4.0 BS) Everybody can reverse engineer a box like that. Hell P.C. Richard & Son or Everybody Beats the Wiz has the expertise to make a completing set top model. What MS need is make sure this settop modle never take off, and what can gurentee such outcome besides buying the company.
Those two guys who start webtv are really young. Probably most of the money are venture capital. If the suits want to sell out, they can't do anything about it. Hell X-Box is made by webtv subsidairy, I'm afraid it will have a very ergonormic interface too.
In case you are not awared of it, moderation are done by readers, not slashdot staff. You wining did put it previous post back to "imfornative" though.
The new rca recorder can auto mark the ad sehment for you after the recording is finish. I don't watch live tv anymore, because I don't need to know which brand is better. I have internet:)
