I just assume you dont know a shit about curling if you think they sweep imaginary snow
People around the globe watch and enjoy the Winter Games. And nobody is the least interested about your interest in it or not
Like nobody would be interested in my nonexistant interest in football.
But geez. Jodorowsky didn't even need the name "Dune" or the novel at all apparently, because his film is pretty much something else entirely except it has characters with the same name and a similiar theme.
Wich why it isnt much Dune anymore. One cant complain about Lynch not being true to the book and want the Jodorowsky. I would still have liked Lynch in it. Perhaps the designs of Giger and others. I know Lynch's stillsuits where not right. The mini-series did it right. But his were cooler
I was under the assumption anyone could be a Jedi if they just tried hard enough
holy shit, you really thought that?
i never did
i am not too happy about small chlorophylls being a technical explanation for it, but i never thought that every person could be able to be a force user. And i wouldnt know where such an idea could origin. No sir, there must be some mythical cosmic dice rolled who attributes force powers to everyone who roles a 20
A work of art is the intellectual property of the artist.
That's nothing more than bullshit propaganda from the publishing industry.
So you tell me that if i think up a story and write a book, this story doesnt belong to me? Anybody can use it as he likes? Sorry Sir, but i dont think so. It is mine to say, who publishes it, who prints it and makes copies of it. It is mine alone to make changes. If you buy my book, you have no right to make copies in any form for the purpose of selling them. You can make copies for your own use. And you can lend and sell your bought book of my story. But you cant make new books with me story and make money with them without asking me. I mean it would be quite unfair, dont you think? I spent month on this bestseller and all you have to do to start making money is to just print it? Go write your own goddamn book
Where did you get the idea that story/content, for example, for a novel is the property of the Public domain?
From the writings of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, etc.
some international opinion on this too, or only US-american? I'm inclined to tall this propaganda

No, I'm well aware that J.K. Rowling lives in Great Britain (although I'm not sure which particular kingdom).
There is only one Kingdom, ruled by a queen. And if you dont know, in wich country she lives, it is England. England is part of Great Britain. Great Britain describes the combination of England, Scotland, and Wales and is part of the Commonwealth, together with Canada and Australia, amongst others.
However, that's irrelevant. All creative works originating in other countries are Public Domain too; it's only international treaties which extend [the U.S.'s, not whatever other country's] copyright terms to them.
Can you come up with relevant law texts, treaty texts and such, to support your thesis?
In other words, J.K Rowling only gets the same privilage of lease as a native author, and that's only because her country negotiated a bargain with us for it.
Please send me where this is written. I want to see where my intellectual property is already not mine but yours
A work of art is the intellectual property of the artist. Where did you get the idea that story/content, for example, for a novel is the property of the Public domain? Of course it is property of the artist who creates it.
J.K Rowling merely has been granted an exclusive (but temporary) lease by the U.S Government.
Certainly not. You certainly tell alot of BS here
She paid for the lease by writing the novels....
I'll have a drink of whatever you have
Once that time is up the lease expires and the right to sell licenses reverts back to the original owner, which is the People.
i get the idea that you got your idea from the fact that works of art from long dead artist go into public domain. Your mistake is: They dont go back there but they just go there.
It is a very puzzling but totally wrong idea of you to think that when i go and write a script, the story then belongs to you.
"or make skype calls on it, they just need to stop locking us out and treating use like cashcows."
Something is on your computer to make VoIP phone calls and your Skype just unlocks it?
Interesting
On my planet Skype really adds a new feature to my computer
Can you show me your computer wich had a locked VoIP-feature?
I have not used last.fm yet, but it reminds me of Launchcast
I think thouse social recommendation things are pretty good for giving you what you already have. No doubt: Launchcast learns your taste in music, like Amazon learns your taste and it does a good job. I cant complain too much. It learned from me for about 2 years at least now, and i cant remember when i last had a really bad song that i had to skip.
Launchcast is also good for targetted music discovery. Example: I want to aquire a taste in Jazz and listen often to this station now and give the stars, rating it. Slowly but with force my own station moves and adapts.
Pandora has a much more different strength. Here i get to discover new things without a plan. Based on its different approach it can make an other kind of guesses wich music of unknown interprets is to my taste, even though i usually am not in that kind of music.
I grow so tired and bored by the Sony jokes here on/.
I said it before on here and i say it again:
I will buy the PSP next month, the PS3 once it comes out (or a few month later) and surely will buy a Cybershot sometimes.
Cause who is a better alternative? Microsoft? Dont think so. And i cant wait for an Apple console;-)
wich i would expect
and you can even think they expect you to put it overnight into it's
docking/recharge cradle, where the life cycle will be refreshed
What about setup screens? Menus? Searching dialogs? File browsers? Surely there are going to be a fair number of such UI things going on besides straight viewing of book pages.
fairly admitted, but let's say this is a book and once you chose the book you want to read, in most cases you will be reading this straight forward to the end. Plus, UI will seldom cover the whole screen........the sheer number of page turns avaiable doesnt shrink substantially with all this, i would predict.
But this is my subjectiv view on things and you can weigh UI power cost higher
And when you're looking at an e-book are you going to be tempted to flip back and forth between pages more or less often?
I dont see a reason why i should do this more or less often then when i read a novel on paper. But...
(What was the name of that character that was just introduced? What, 2 pages back? maybe it was last chapter?
...i think this is a matter of personal reading style. Unless you read "War and Peace", with its famed number of characters, i dont think one has to look up/back such things very often.
But as i said: this is a matter of style.
I read a novel straight from one end to the other
So i might be very economic there and get alot out of it
Whoops! I just burned through 50/7500's of my page flips!)
and there you got it: what is 50 of 7500?:-)
From what I see, this device will last about 7500 pages. Doesn't give me an idea of how long it will last.
It will last 7500 pages
No matter how long you need to read a page
Displaying a page needs no energy. If you RTA, you will understand, how E-ink works. It doesnt need refresh cycles. Once a page is on, it stays.
That means: Battery life lasts 75000 page changes
What would your solution be then?
A search engine without query logs?
If you can programm one that can outperform any of the five big ones,
call me
We couldn't do it
If there where no logs for seaches, ...then there would be nothing to obtain.
LOL indeed there would be nothing to obtain....not even results.
"I have seen this bandied about several times...It is utter bunk. Pray, tell us how keeping track of searches "improve their effectiveness"? The only thing it does is allow for targeted advertising. It has nothing to do with improving anything other than their income."
Of course you need search logs to improve search results.
I worked in my university department on AI algorhythms to improve
search engine performance. We certainly didnt need logs to improve
any monetary income. Based on what generally and currently gets
typed as a query and wich results are in the end taken as good
results by the user, software reranks, reindexes and reevalues
their databases and thus improves future result sets for same
queries.
It's as easy as that.

Useless? Not at all, sir.
I visit many libaries to look up information in old books. I have been searching a thing like this for about a month
Your linked Amazon review is about the 700 and the TFA is about the 800
anything you might read out of consumer comments on Amazon (who would do that anyways) is therefor not applicable.
