Just by looking who are in this movie, it's obvious it will not come close to the "original" that is a classic.
Hollywood, does it again: "Let's take a good story of a good non-hollywood movie and let's turn it to something mediocre.
replace this:
robot1.fall_down_and_cry_like_an_argentinian();
with
robot1.fall_down_and_cry_like_RIVALDO();
now we are talking of MASTER "cry babies"!!!
You sound so damn stupid that I'm not sure if I should tell this coz I doubt you get it... anyway, here it comes.
Since you haven't handled foreign currency you might not understand what people are talking about. It's like talking about colors to someone who is blind. But I will try.
With dollar notes, you have to take it OUT and LOOK at the number. In other countries, you can sort the notes by their size. You can separate 1s, 5s, 10s and 100s very fast. You don't have to look at EVERY note.
If you want to a dollar to the beggar you just take the smallest sized note you have. You don't have worry giving away a $100 note.
If tapes cost more than CDs, there wouldn't be much point in making tapes (because nobody would buy them).
Great idea, unfortunately lacks basic elements of logic. Explanation: People by things based on their price, not based on cost!!! Yes, nobody would make tapes if nobody bought them. However, people do buy tapes. Now the question is it worth it to make them? This is were the cost part becomes important.
If the company made just CDs and is now considering to produce tapes as well, what would be the incremental cost shipping also tapes? Just the cost of the tapes (and delivery). Sound engineering and all whatnot was included to the initial project. If the initial project of selling CDs was profitable, then adding tape selling line makes sense as long as the price of the tape stays above the variable cost of the tape, i.e., the cost of the tape and delivery.
and those costs are distributed between tapes and CDs in such a manner that they will get the most return.
Nonsense. These prep costs are overhead costs and you CANNOT distribute them between tapes and CDs by the definition of overhead cost.
All I'm saying is that as long as there are equal products that are cocoa, I will surely choose the cocoa version. As it appears NS is not walking the cocoa path, this leaves me with OmniWeb and other browsers that ARE cocoa. While other people my be happy with carbon, I'm not. Therefore, I'm obviously more excited about new releases of cocoa applications based on Mozilla. For me, NS is OUT.
I'm NOT using M$IE, and I don't think I will use Netscape either unless they release a cocoa version. My first choice is still OmniWeb, even though it is not perfect.
Cocoa applications are more than just a "feel and look" think. It an application (Netscape) cannot take advantage of such parts of the Mac OS X as "Services" it is missing out a lot, in my opinion. I have several services that I use every day. It's a hassle to do it "manually."
I've tried all of the browsers for Mac OS X, and at the moment... they all suck... to be honest. M$IE is not an option just because it is M$-I don't even care what it CAN or cannot do.
Chimera, I don't remember, was that with no preferences yer? Like two icons or something?
The most important for me personally is the ability to block in-page ads. I do allow ads in some pages, like www.apple.com; most others I have filtered out.
This is an interesting project, but it is nowhere close to the ability of OmniWeb. Plus, OmniWeb has this privacy setting built in. No hassle with installing 3rd party software.
Moreover, OmniWeb allows me to ban sites/images by keywords. For example, I could ban all German sites (.de) etc. Yes, you can do this also if you dig into the core of unix, but SOMETIMES it's much easier to do these things from GUI. Even a monkey (read: me) can do it.
As the Subject says, I'm not talking about POP-UP ads. I'm talking about ads in general! With OmniWeb I can block any advertising!!! Read: any pictures, flash animation, or whatnot that has a words like "ads" or "banner" or you name it (!) in their file path.
Theoretically, they get paid depending on their contracts
Very well said; especially the first part: "Theoretically..."
The point I was trying to make was exactly this, the artist theoretically get paid. But the real question is do they? Will they?
Tell me, in which stage did the artist "who was unable to sell a single painting during his/her lifetime" got paid for the work?
The problem is not just do the right extend over the lifetime of the artist. The question is WTF does it matter to the artist what happens after the death?!? OK, in some cases it makes a difference. The family can collect the money and all. But many of these artists were so poor they didn't have means to HAVE a family in the first place. Now, who benefits of the copyright of the work of these artists? The dead artist? The non-existing spouse? The never born children?
It sounds good when people demand that the artists should be paid and all that. But the question is:
Will they?
It's one thing to do SOMETHING in the name of a good cause, and another thing is actually helping this good cause. As I see it, many of the copyrights are, in fact, owned by corporations. So the question is, when did the artist get paid?
We all know the stories of famous painters who NEVER sold a SINGLE painting!!! They died in a state of close starvation, yet today their painting sell for millions of dollars-
I think T9 speeds up typing, OR the new keypad would speed up typing.
However, if you have T9 AND the keypad then I don't see a speed increase beyond the max of one or the other.
In other words, I can see the T9 speeding the normal keypad up to the full keypad. But if you have new keypad... then how is it going to speed your typing if you have the T9? I can see accuracy increase, sure... But speed?
But wouldn't it be the same for the new "keyboard"?
Besides, the dictionary thingie is quite handy. I have to write in Spanish about half of the time. And I'm not exactly Spanish. So it helps me a lot. Although at times it messes up with the "accents." [The future (or first person) is sometimes unknowns for the dictionary.]

How can you call that stupid game "football" after all?!?!?!? Since it's mainly played by hand!!!! what does it have to do with FEET?????
replace this: robot1.fall_down_and_cry_like_an_argentinian(); with robot1.fall_down_and_cry_like_RIVALDO(); now we are talking of MASTER "cry babies"!!!

Cruise sleeps now with the chica from Spain. Penelope Cruz. He doesn't sleep with Kidman... so your chances to sleep with Kidman are even higher now :)
Didn't the scientology thingie end for him as they split up with Kidman?Sorry, if I don't remember all the silly news
They are collecting information to keep updated their database about best p0rn sites.
1.1. Price != Variable Cost
1.2. Price != Fixed Cost
2. Price != Value
PRICE = WILLINGNESS TO PAY

Yes, I'd prefer Chimera. When they add more features to it. However, as long as in-page ads... it appears that OmniWeb is my only friend.

No, it is not a cocoa application. It's carbon. Thus it is basically a OS9 application.
1. It's not cocoa
1.1. It does not access any of the build-in Mac OS X technology such as spellchecker, and other services (open text in TextEdit, mail selection, etc.)
2. It just looks awful
3. There's no privacy setting that would allow me to block in-page adds.
4. There are other browsers that are better (OmniWeb).

As you see I'm not writing this on a Nokia phone... I wanted to say "it works as an automatic spellchecker" but... oh well...
