Sorry folks, print media requires PDF-x1 standards and that won't be going away. It was too long a fight to get away from INDesign/Quark specs and PDF is actually a nice format. With that said, why the hell would I want to look at 2 software versions of an ad to approve it when I can see the exact PDF the printer will use?
The other thing I saw as a narrow viewpoint was this quote
There's no need to install special software to view Unipages (as is the case with PDF)
Isn't Windows the only OS that requires the 'special' software to view PDF's?
Most major picks of Linux has 3 PDF viewers and Mac has Preview out of the box. The only thing that Mac Preview (as of Panther) doesn't do is PDF watermarking (acrobat feature only - Like permissions in corporate Office 2003).
I think all Unipage was trying to do was get away from the PDF plugin annoyance.
In my day, the Atari 2600 was $200 new and Pac-Man, E.T., Haunted House, Adventure (what todays kids call the duck game http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3137498&did=1) were $50 and that's 1980 dollars where video games were 25 cents and could last all day if you were good enough.
Intellivision and Colecovision were in the upper $100 to $200 and those games were $30 to $50.
I seem to remember that is was SNES, Genesis where the ames broke the $60 mark but they also warrant that in terms of artistic quality at least. Mortal Kombat was worth the price for SNES as it was the a game that was close to identical to the arcade version.
No matter what, $350 is alot of money for a game console that doesn't include a game (or maybe it does) and $700 is way too much for a bundle but I understand the marketing angle as there are some families that will buy it.
If I were to buy a console today, Nintendo has my vote as $200 is a price that is a lot easier to part with for some mindless entertainment.
Spyware can't install unless the user specifically installs it on a mac by giving it installation rights.
Most default users especially on XP Home are still able to install any application just by double clicking the icon that represents it without any further intervention. MS seems to have gotten smart on ActiveX auto installs but default executables can still happen.
There's nothing preventing malware writers to write malware on existing *nix subsystems anyway. It just isn't easy for it to be automatically installed.
I really don't care if Vista fixes the problem either, I just hope it does for the end user's sake.
I doubt the chip would be reusable employer to employer just like current badges are incompatible say between ADP and the CDC. If the chip would be the employee's SSN, that would be the next dumbest thing aside from being an implant.
I imagine that upon termination, the employer would ask the employee into a room, strap them down, say "this won't hurt a bit", and pull out a Matrix type contraption for extracting bugs, and yank away.
However, a reusable RFID number does make the most sense. The MRI is the scary part.
So next, you quit or get fired, you have this invasive RFID chip in your person and your next company requires the same BS implant. Does one keep accumulating RFID's or scar tissue?

I haven't used a firearm in 22 years (used at a shooting range) nor do I have a current desire to own one but that right better never be taken away from me.
I'd like to know where you can get a burger for a buck at any Mickey Property. Their Ice Cream bars alone are $3 and we paid $8 a pop for the cheap burgers in TommorrowLand. For my money though, the Captain America burger is much better at Universal.
A quote from rom personal experience with an immature, stupid in-law: "you can't make money in real estate."
This is a quick rundown, if anyone is interested, please elaborate...
Renting money from a bank for a $150,000 mortgage: First year about $8,000 will be spent on the note, $1,600 of it will go to principal, $6,400 will go back to the bank - rent you could say. When you file for income taxes, $6,400 is deductible so if you make $52,000, you get to file that you made about $45,000 that you pay taxes on. Equity = $1,600 plus appreciation for the first year.
Paying a landlord rent for similar square footage @ $850 a month = $10,200 out of pocket. When you file, you file on $52,000 income. Your cost of housing deducted from that takes you to $41,800 so you paid tax on $52,000 for $41,800. Equity = 0;
Time and location is a different factor. If you can't stabilize either of those, obviously, renting is the better choice.
I am aware that some real estate markets aren't lucrative but my parent comment about renting vs. owning is that you can rent for 10+ years and within that time, the real estate market will be profitable. I have a friend that just sold a 30+ year old house in a depressed area (big industry has moved out) for slightly above market value which is really all you hope for.
For me, a renter in suburbia means someone who has been in the community for 5+ years and has no intention of moving. Why throw away money when you can invest it?
Obviously I mean through other than direct means. Personally, I lost a parent when I was 8 through a work related incident. The 10 year I speak of old lost a parent to hepatitus.
I've also seen an 18year old female lose her mother to cancer and was a basket case for years because of it.
Culturally (in a typical industrialized nation), maturity can mean being independantly responsible. In some cultures, maturity can be when you make your first kill then, you're labeled as an adult within the community.
I've heard that at age 95, the body stops aging. Maybe that's the magic age.
I'm quipping from personal experience. Renter in suburbia (to me) implies someone who isn't mobile and is planted within the community with no intention of moving. There are plenty of times when renting is a sound choice and I'm not knocking renting at all.
The 34 year old I mention is actually a 54 year old that has filed bankruptcy every 10 years, lost money on a house in a booming market because he didn't want to deal with a realtor or pay 6% or negotiate, falls for most 'get rich quick' schemes and has lost a substantial amount of money in one, has flat out told me "I don't know what the fuss is about real estate, you can't make money in it and you always have to pay" When he did manage to get a house (after he lost money on his original house and rented for 5 years), he got a balloon mortgage and didn't plan for the end of the 5year term where the balloon payment was required so he foreclosed. He got the balloon mortgage becaue the payments were cheaper than a standard 30 year fixed. I guess he didn't know what the hell a balloon mortgage is.
This guy only knows price and not value and I call him a scam victim because he definitely isn't a scam artist even though he thinks he's clever by buying senior citizen movie tickets ans always returns food in a restaurant so he can get a free dessert. My mortgage is $300 higher than his rent and he claims that he has the better deal because I'd have to pay for maintenance on the building, air conditioning and pay for water on top of a higher monthly payment. He doesn't get it that I'd rather pay extra when I file for personal income tax than 'get money back' because we all know that that money you 'get back' is extra money that the government gives you.
What an almost pointless study. Maturity sets in when responsibility is a requirement. Environment plays a heavy in maturity. Multiple siblings I'm sure plays a role vs that of an only child as well as a parental death or divorce. Circle of friends plays a role and none of this is an age requirement. I've seen 10 year olds whose had a parent killed with more maturity than a 16 year old. That 10 year old will be a more mature 16 year old than a 20 year old drinking it up in a small college town. A 22 year old with a handle on debt will be more mature than a 34 year old that is a renter in suburbia that is adamant that you can't make money in real estate.
I'm for digital. The Parent had a complaint about raw taking up so much space that one could only get about 25 images on a 1Gig card.
My take is that if you're an image pro, you'll stock up on storage media just like film image pros keep their film at a certain temperature and their negatives/transparencies in a certain temp and humidity.
So. A standard 35mm film roll is 27 shots with 24 being guaranteed and that's a 1 time use. Those images you can blowup to much larger than 13x19 print.
But the "Indian" label came from the Spanish looking for a quick route to India and hitting the North American hunk of land instead.
That'd be like me driving from North Carolina on my way to California and stopping in Kansas calling the citizenry there Californians. Or leaving California bound for China and hitting Japan calling them Chinese.
Hell, if you're on an Indian kick, you could be bound for India and hit the Phillippines or Vietnam and call them Indians.
Will the HTML source code be easily readable with contextual highlighting like all the other browsers or will they still use notepad?
I know a few web developers that have been IE diehards and use FF for the source code highlighting. They don't use tabs, don't know what tabs are, and don't want to know how to use tabs. It really bugs be because they'll have 5 FF windows open at one time.

8 months on the salary they were paying him has given him a large enough nest egg to pursue better interests.

Not only that but I believe that only 3 of the 7 versions will have the Aero Glass,
-Home Premium Edition
-Enterprise Edition
-Ulimate Edition
Which will probably be priced at $300 retail

Good call.

Real estate isn't meant to be a short term investment.
Markets fluctuate.
If owning is such a bad thing, why not be a landlord? They seem to be making out in a renters market.
