Yes, because clearly the year Gone with the Wind came out there was a ton of competition out there with other movies, tv, video games, night clubs, computers,and the many other forms of entertainment available.
Oh, and I also forgot to mention John Williams is a master... I can't recall wanting the Spiderman soundtrack... in fact I can't recall the spiderman soundtrack.
I've heard a fair number of comments here about natalie vs. kirsten (I'll point out that kirsten had to show her chest to really catch anyone's eyes in her wet shirt scene), comparisons of the love story, the dialog, and the effect to a degree.
Tell me, how many non-human's were there in Spider-man? How much dramatic costuming?
I happen to think both were great movies! But, I've been to see EpII 3 times now, and Spiderman once.
Yes, it is more democratic, but it is much much worse.
Please keep in mind that 99.999999% (or something like that, myself included) have very little idea what taxes are spent on -- nor do most people care to know. When I occasionally remind my co-workers of some of the tings they pay for as they complain about taxes, I always get blank stares... (things like roads, clean restaurants, public safety, management of shared resources / public goods, preservation, drug safety, etc.)
The fact is, I probably could come up witha complaint about the way EVERY agency works. If the method you described were used, we would have a huge percentage of every departments budget going to PR to sway taxpayers to their cause.
Yes, the largest all-digital PCS network? Sounds like Sprint to me... I guess getting lost in the woods won't help... does this thing roam onto analog?:)
Actually, this is the area where GPS will take off. When it becomes useful... i.e. - Now the kid can know where he/she is in realtion to friends/relatives, etc...
At the mall, the watch tells you that Suzie is coming from about 50 meters southeast and there is a convenient bathroom to hide in about 30 meters north.
That does effectively kill most GPS antennas. We see that issue with GPS on vehicles that we sell. With vehicle GPS monitoring employees, that isn't much of an issue. User intervention is fairly easy to detect, and indicates mostly an employee that is uncooperative and maybe needs replacing anyway...
FYI -- Nextel (which runs iDEN in the US) uses GSM & iDEN for roaming overseas. You can take a SIM card from any of the newer Nextel phones and place them in an int'l roaming handset (i2000+).
Also, Nextel fully supports emailing from the phone to any email address (and thus any carrier) for a flat $5 / month, unlimited use, no minutes, etc.
That's not correct. e911 requirements relate to the ability to locate a cell phone within a certain distance (like 100 meters), and has nothing to do with data transmission speeds or services (3G and/or i-mode)...
BTW -- i-mode is NOT 3G. i-mode is a very good marketing campaign for services via data transmission launched originally by NTT DoCoMo in Japan. 3G is a term for the speed at which data is moved to a wireless device, and its meaning has been eroded over the past year by various cariers.
I was wondering if I was the only one that saw that... I suppose if you put all the processors in a room, dim the lights, some soft music... who knows?
Well, I was going to reply to everyone with Nextel comments, but most people got the info right. We launched J2ME phones in March of 2001, so we've been "doing Java" for a while. Network-Aware application capability was only launched in October of 2001 however, so that isn't quite as old.
As an insider, I'll also admit that we make developers of applications that send/recieve traffic on our network jump through hoops to be "certified". I think this is inevitable until carriers are comfortable with the risk associated with relinquishing control of data transmissions.
Personally, I went through the process in about 20 minutes and got my developer access in 2 days.
Keep in mind that games are not the most impressive things being done with this technology. I currently have a network-aware java app on my phone that can access national and state criminal information databases for liscense plate, firearm and property registration and other various lookups. (Of course, I have fake data, only validated officers/etc can get the real stuff)
Developers in our program are working on some really cool stuff.:)
My Nextel i85s does not have to dial-up to connect, is always-on, also has J2ME built in, supports email, cellular, radio, java apps, and any WAP site out there.
And BTW -- Nextel has been SELLING this device for over 1 year now.
Disclaimer: I work for Nextel, and am thus biased. I'm also frustrated at our horrid PR.

But you can't fire your kid.
Blah -- The "R" rating means nothing over here. I sat last weekend through "Queen of the Damned" with children crying the whole time in the audience.
Honestly, I can't understand why ppl would bring a child 10 years old to see a Vampire flick.

Ok, I'm not very technical, but can't one simply come up with a device that takes the video and audio out and burn it back onto disc?
I mean this external device would behave like a high-res/quality monitor/speaker system and simply capture the signal.
