I am second level support and i have the same story now and then almost exactly like the one told.
Very good how the parent poster told it. People don't actually realize anymore that they click something away
i agree with alot from the parent post I buy a tremendous amount of books
i agree with that one
but i don't agree with this one I don't want an electronic reader of any form, and I'm fairly sure that a larger proportion of the populace does their reading against the old-school dead-tree formats than any form of electronic format
Yes, i want an electronic reader. Just because i love books. Like Stephen King and thousands of other bookworms, i read several books paralell. One in bed, one there and there and i ALWAYS carry at least one with me to read on the way from and to work. But what i hate is that there really is no perfect way to keep a book's condition perfect nice. I know that paperbacks can take alot of beating and most of my books look great to a not so critical eye, but i dont like bends in the corners and all. If i can keep the books at home, out of the everyday commuter traffic in train, sub and bus, and have an ebook in a nonbendable case and form, it would be cool.
As much a BIG customer of Amazon as i am, i still am not too convinced with the Kindle. Course it helps that Neil Gaiman wrote favourable about it. Of course i have to wait, whoknowshowlong, anyways till that service gets offered outside the United States, like here in Germany. Whispernet is a nice gimmick. Any book that comes to your mind, anywhere you are WHEN it comes to your mind. Really nice. But what i wish more is that Sony's E-Reader and E-Book shop would come here. It looks better and they currently offer a nice deal.
Really the Sony device convinces me more.
I love books in paper. I own alot of them. But just because of that and because i consume so much in reading, an e-reader would definatly get a chance
I dont say i will ever prefer an e-book and i agree with this I would say it would be years, if not decades, before we actually see electronic formats really supplant paper.
Makes more than sense, not only in Japan. My daily commuting in my new job that i have since february IS actually an hour (in a train that goes only once an hour) I bought a PSP in april for various reasons and while it is, of course, a most enjoyable game platform, i profit most of its use as a MP3 player and Video player. Converting DVD to PSP-format work like a charm with two programms (not in the package) and i listen to audiobooks on my way from and to the trainstation and once i sit in the train home, i watch video, if i am not in the mood to read a book (i always have one with me) The PSP also has a mobile TV thingie in Japan. It works on a special DVB-T variant, that is only in Japan, so importing would be no use. I wait for them to bring a version that is usable in Europe. Now i read here that the DS enters the same race. Whoever wins, gets my money, although i hope it will be the PSP thingie, so i dont need another console.....well i need a DS for my favourite Jump'n'Run Castlevania anyways
Why is it hard to get stuff through your TARDIS' door? Why don't you enlarge the doors, ie change appearance into something with larger doors? You do realize that when you then of the Doctor's TARDIS, this is a TARDIS with a broken chameleon curcuit and it is an old model? TARDISes can change their appearance to anything you like, best something that looks unsuspicious in that time and area. The newest model can even morph into "living" avatars (read: babes) that can be your companion.
Great blog photos I think i have seen the thing you posted about in the movie "Seoul Raiders", but i am not sure. I will check tonight But i totally love the rest of the pics in this blog entry
Yup it is. Same people working on it from the UW side. One is the university research project One is the commercial product to come Features can vary greatly until any of both is "finished developing"
I am thankful for their respect for me, the diehard fan. Their respect for me not going too like
their product too much, if it leaves the boundaries,, definied by the previous games of the series.
Cause this may exactly be what will happen
And i am a fair person. I respect that they will make their thing and pull it through.
I respect that they will make a product with a misleading name.
I respect that they are proud of their work. I would be.
Again No, you only have a right to license.
You have no ownership over the work of art
I don't need anyone's 'by your leave' if I lend or give my other possessions to my friends, why should a song be any different!?
If I buy a song, it should be unequivocably ok to transfer ownership
No, this is about a license transfer for the right to listen. And license transfer is something else
of it to someone else when I'm done with it, or to lend it to them however I see fit to. Are we agreed?
Not totally

I had one technical interview over phone (in English, but thats no problem) and then one interview day with 2 interviews, by two different people each, each one hour long (also both in english). No sign of disorganization, but of high professionalism. The interview site was a big buisness job recruiting agency. During the whole process, from first call to welcome me to the interviews and setup a date for the phone interview, to the last call to say they are sorry but i will be set on a waiting list for the job, a personal contact person has always been avaiable for me.
all three Matrix and the Constantine
on Amazon.de
currently the first Matrix is up to 20 again, i bought it at 5
the reloaded is still at 5
Revolutions is unavaiable with offers starting at 12
Same with Constantine, starting at 5
when i bought end of july they had about 4 dozen UMDs at the low price. Most went up again. Some more, some less
Yes, this is a major drooler
I was at Munich's Systems last year and will go again this year. I know i drooled last year at Sony's booth, but it looks like it will get even better this year
Thing is, the Slashdot-crowd is becoming increasingly singleminded when it comes to issues such as Copyright Infringment, Micro$oft (never forget the dollar sign, or you'll never blend in!) and the Bush Administration.
You also know you can't compete against it with Bluray but can easily compete with an HD-DVD player and even the XBOX 360 plus HD-DVD will be in that $500-$700 competitive range your player will be in.
But the HD-DVD-extension for the XBOX 360 will, according to last news, come, but not with HDMI. So no movies there
This is most surprising, cause i happened to have seen a scientic tv mag (none of the popular science kind, but serious) that happened to have talked about the mass production of these panels and say talked about these timespans.
I wonder what could have motivated them to lie in such a way
That is an urban legend: Solar panel on houses, for example, redeem their production costs after about 2 years (at most, depending on quality of the solar cells)
Taking only the first year and no long term sales expectance figures yet, no real economy pro would make such terminal decisions. Maybe they will take the production back a bit, but that is all.
But saying that Blue-ray is a flop now BEFORE it came out, shows how worthless the whole quote and therefor/. post is

I am second level support and i have the same story now and then almost exactly like the one told. Very good how the parent poster told it. People don't actually realize anymore that they click something away
I so hope so
Ok, i HAVE to ask that:
What are you doing with the old markers?
Can i have one?
i agree with alot from the parent post
I buy a tremendous amount of books
i agree with that one
but i don't agree with this one

One is the commercial product to come
Features can vary greatly until any of both is "finished developing"
It IS already affected by this. Being from Germany i already suffer directly from a block of
all non-US ip-adresses
Waterworld
really
forgive me, but i actually like this movie
I am thankful for their respect for me, the diehard fan. Their respect for me not going too like their product too much, if it leaves the boundaries,, definied by the previous games of the series.

The answer is simply, because I 'bought it'
No, you bought a license
and its 'mine'.
Again No, you only have a right to license.
You have no ownership over the work of art

i bought each movie for around 5 on Amazon new and not from a seller but Amazon directly i wouldnt call that crazy expensive
Yes, this is a major drooler I was at Munich's Systems last year and will go again this year. I know i drooled last year at Sony's booth, but it looks like it will get even better this year
You must be new here, etc. etc.
Thing is, the Slashdot-crowd is becoming increasingly singleminded when it comes to issues such as Copyright Infringment, Micro$oft (never forget the dollar sign, or you'll never blend in!) and the Bush Administration.
You forgot Sony...or is it $ony?
But the HD-DVD-extension for the XBOX 360 will, according to last news, come, but not with HDMI. So no movies there

Your point being....?
The hard drive is not meant to copy the data of a game medium
Taking only the first year and no long term sales expectance figures yet, no real economy pro would make such terminal decisions. Maybe they will take the production back a bit, but that is all. But saying that Blue-ray is a flop now BEFORE it came out, shows how worthless the whole quote and therefor /. post is
You must be new here, it seems
I see no problem with the UMD
Where is the problem? Do you see same problems with Gameboy cartridges?
yes, me
