Personally, while my demand for content has actually changed, I am also preferring streaming video to downloads.
While content made available via tube sites are much more closely managed and gets deleted more frequently than before,
fresh content goes on them more quickly than before. Watching RAWs has become a great substitute to recording.
Quality used to be a bigger factor for me, but now it's more of instant gratification - pretty much like radio.
The internet itself is now my library.
I thought creating images is a company's business strategy to gain competitive advantage, essentially the equivalence of raising QC level to lower customer dissatisfaction? If circumstances cause a competitive edge to become a burden, isn't it simply a bad business decision that nobody else needs to be responsible for?
There was once, music tapes cost SGD $8.
When CDs hit the market, they cost SGD $30, but it was promised that they would go down to the same price as tapes one day.
Isn't it time to sell full albums at SGD $5, considering the volume that the music industry is able to produce?
Isn't that what industries do best - to give what the market wants at a cost leveraged by the economics of scale?
Given that the packaging that comes with the CD does cost something to make, but essentially, isn't music, as a commodity, like software - make once, and sell it many times over?
Given the international market exposed by the internet, is online music, too, overpriced?
Or perhaps society needs to rethink the place of musicians - perhaps they could be like open source software authors, who have a day job?
Personally I think that there is a profound difference in computing culture between the M$ corporate and the posix environment. Because of the nature of non-academic organizations and the overabundance of people who either know too little or too much for their own good, M$ corporate IT policies are built on mistrust of the user and protection of the companys expensive resources, which happens to include, employee time. That would mean that giving users just enought rights so that their actions wont harm the operations of the system isnt good enough. I have customers who want to control how data is being copied out of the system - while giving the user full rights to edit the same data. "Copy", it seams, is not the same as "Read access" as far as how companies want to use data is concerned. But then again, thats a problem on an M$ platform as well...
Does anyone else use procxp from Sysinternals? It's the most needed thing to help you weed out file handle ghosts so that you don't have to reboot your whole system to delete a darn file... oh yes, sysinternals does offer pretty nifty stuff.
We describe colors as warm and cold, as "expanding" or "contracting", as compound or pure, as a tint or as a shade, I think these might translate well to physical properties that the blind can relate to through their sense of touch. But us as a human race, being heavily blinded by our sight, will take a long time to figure it out, methinks.
but just how the visually impaired can figure out where the mouse is? i'm starting to think that GUI is good for those who can see the G part of it, but the console sounds like a better analogy for an Audio User Interface...
Personally I trust MD5 hashes more than certificates... certificates give me an impression of false security... afterall, anybody can buy a certificate - or did i miss something?
maybe half of it is the speed you can type your SMS's? Personally I don't SMS with short forms because they're just harder to type when you have your T9 dictionary on - but on the comp, they r faster 2 type.
BTW, if we're talking abt Korean here, I don't know if the ungrammatical thing still applies.
noting that it has been documented that some people can fool a polygraph using various techniques.... Using fMRI as a lie detector is expensive, but it may be worthwhile in some cases -- such as trying to question a terrorism suspect
Yes, terrorists aren't trained at lying, only FBI agents are.

I don't ask for much. I just want $16 per spam mail.
How heavy was the first computer again?
So it's no coincidence that this PI number is making us go in circles?
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us...

That's what non-native speakers of English do when they go over to US. Surely Americans do the same?

Isn't this trying to hold on a bit too hard when we should learn to let go when it's time?

since most other jobs will need you to be online? Then they might as well feed him in jail.
Not quite what I wanted... was looking more for a 1TB thumbdrive...
we're still chasing spiders?
