These books from Peachpit are usually $12-$20, so you're not spending $50 on a book. Very worth it.
There's a ton of info on the web, but most people learn the basics better from a book. You can always borrow books from friends and buy used to save $$$. Or, get your job to reimburse you.
the Chinese government is supporting an effort to develop a homegrown standard, called 'AVS,' for compressing digital audio and video in order to avoid paying royalties on proprietary compression schemes.
Yeah, saving money on royalties on pirated movies...
I bet it will be like PC standards are. Nobody really conforms to all of them, 100%. Plus, there are so many standards, you're not gauranteed anything.
Argh! I hate those sites. If I ever happen to stumble into a site that has background music, I go back and never come again. They lost my business. Websites are for reading, not listening to some really crappy midi files.
Right! Web sites are for animated GIF's and blinking text!

I'm pretty sure he means he'd pay for a 100% native port of Photoshop (and probably the rest of the Adobe line) to Linux.
For a minute there, I thought we were outsourcing game programming to India.
So, you're saying... who cares if the code is wrong as long as you think you understand it? Personally, I'd rather have the right code

Is there really a need for a Dummies book about Solaris? It's not like you can just walk into CompUSA and pick up Solaris 9.
Better yet, you can just download it from Sun's website. Free. Then you can install it on a cheap Sparc from eBay.
BookPool has it for $1.50 less than that.

A tiny screen is better than no screen when you're trying to fix something.
This article, and others on Slashdot talk about this.
