well, I somehow always think of the Scene in Ep II where she falls out of the small Trooper-Battleship into the sand (against the end of the movie). then, when a trooper looks after her and she gets up again and gives some orders, that whole part is absolutely... not to my pleasure.
One point to you (concerning Christensen). And if I remember correctly, Natalie Portman was in "Leon the Prof" (much younger though) where she played good, too. So, another point to you.
withdrawing complaint...;-)
...working at an University-hospital in Switzerland. Although almost every Desktop System present in the rooms for the nurses runs Windows, about 30% of our Physicians already use Mac OS X on their personal Systems, and more and more the Macintoshes appear in the Doctor's rooms.
(I do not need to mention the various server-systems like Solaris and Unixes)
Well, all I want to tell you is that in Switzerland, Microsoft is ALL BUT on the rising bar, and I personally think that you'll do better using J2EE, heading towards the "OS-independent" argument. Freedom of Choice is important.
True. I got one a couple of weeks ago. Just turn on the Drive-Mode and the Palm mounts itself just like every other external drive. Too bad this doesn't work via BlueTooth; at least I haven't figured out.
Although, to edit your textfiles, you'll need DocumentsToGo, which was included with my T5.
mine arrived Friday, preordered it from a Swiss online store. When they sent me the "Status: shipped" -email on wednesday last week I was quite surprised.
And compared to the LD-rips I own they look damn awesome. Whats not reported in the CNN-Story is the change to the han-greedo-fiddle. It was changed to my pleasure, they fire almost at the same time. BTW jabba now looks quite realistic...
It's common for Europeans to believe that they're enlightened enough not to need guns. Unfortunately, they're living in a dream.
That is what YOU say. Now consider the following statistics, which I have taken from this report and which are for the year 1991: (I cut the list by some countries in the midfield)
Murders committed with handguns annually:
United States 8,915 Switzerland 53 Sweden 19 Canada 8 United Kingdom 7
Murder rate (per 100,000 people):
United States 8.40 Canada 5.45 Germany 4.20 United Kingdom 1.97 Japan 1.20 Finland 0.70
Murder rate for males age 15-24 (per 100,000 people):
United States 24.4 Canada 2.6 Norway 2.3 United Kingdom 2.0 Germany 0.9 Japan 0.5
Rape (per 100,000 people):
United States 37.20 Sweden 15.70 Germany 8.60 United Kingdom 7.26 Japan 1.40
Armed robbery (per 100,000 people)
United States 221 Canada 94 United Kingdom 63 Germany 47 Norway 22 Japan 1
And now tell me again that having a gun in your flat is a good prevention. I guess I need to say that I am from Switzerland and have an automatic gun (SIG Stgw 90) at home (from the army), as every male citizen has, but you can`t get bullets for it (the ones you have are in a sealed package).
As for the question for security: I lock the door, that`s it, but I guess in the US that is unfortunately not enough.
I must admit I haven't read about that MS-Janus-thingie. But that Name reminds me on the movie Judge Dredd, where Project Janus was a secret eugenics program, which went wrong.
I guess about 90% of swiss males hate to do the army-service. You have to do training for 3 weeks every other year (schweizer: keine details.;-) ).
Anyway, almost every one of them has a Stgw 90 at home, no SIG or whatever you call it. It was developed by the swiss army.
as already mentioned, there is a "Now playing" -menu at the very top (root).
but that's - even in my apple-friendly position - not the best they did do. No problem, you get a remote for free with every model since the 2nd generation, and if you have good playlists that suit you well, you don't need to play around with the iPod itself, you'll use that remote, which has separate volume-controls on it.
as for me, I only see my iPod when I have to recharge it (and that's not to often, my battery still lasts 9h continuous playing), for the rest of the time, I have it somewhere in my clothes and only use the remote.
If you're not into watching movies then a movie player's probably not for you.
that's true. But that's not what I wanted to say, I just wanted to point out why every mp3-player today has to compare to the iPod. And that's simply because it's a great mp3-player.
If the iPod's so well thought out then why does it self-discharge in only two days?
Mine doesn't, and after 22 Months of usage, it still has 9h of Battery life to go.
Yes, it IS ugly.
and why the hell should I carry around a color-TFT-screen while LISTENING to music? I'm not gonna look at a visualizer, I'm gonna select a playlist, push play and put it into my pocket.
Yes, an iPod has fewer features. But it has all you need to listen to music, and a damn good user interface, too. The iPods design is not only good because it looks good, it's good because its well thought out.
okay, you can watch movies on that one. but for me, I'm not really interested in watching a movie on a 3.5" screen. if you do watch movies on that one, you only do, because you can do, not because it's fun.
actually, the idea of only the prints on the Keys glowing is much better than this IMHO unusable glowing thing. Built-in light sensors automatically adjust the keyboard illumination (and the screen's brightness) based on the available ambient light.

For me, spam and website-ads are the same annoying thing, and I'll NEVER think of buying anything that's advertised, but as you can see, spam ist still around.
So I guess there must be many people out there who buy that stuff. It must be the same with popup/popunder/translucent ads, someone earns quite a lot with that; why else should one spend time "inventing" new kinds of advertising?
Sometimes I really wonder how much time people have to waste.
Okay, I'm a student and quite busy, but I can't imagine that people have nothing better to do than reinstalling the whole system once a month. This wastes +/- one day every month!
How about doing a trip with your family every 2nd month and reinstalling every other 2nd month? or if you haven't got a family to care about, how about investing 1 day every 2nd month in finding the right woman? Or learn something, join any club, do sports, clean your flat, whatever, but don't just waste your time with really really stupid things like that.
To speak for myself, I haven't formatted my Powerbook for 18 Months now, and it still runs flawlessly.

Censorship is _always_ the wrong path. I understand google, the other good search-engines and MSN, but it`s a bad move of the government.
"freedom from censorship has been the exception in the world. The rule has been, and continues to be, repression, suppression, and oppression."

You mean the non-restriction, that you must not sell/buy Sex-Toys in Alabama or you must not sleep in another room than your bedroom in fairfax??

as mentioned before, the pics look great, let`s hope the dialogues do good. And that Padme aka Natalie Portman learnt to actually "act" meanwhile...

I`d love just to know that whenever I want, there are 200 more lumen waiting for me.
It`s like being able to turn up the volume for another 50%, for those rare times you want your friends to listen carefully to that song.
take a look at that: Mac OS X
everything you demand...
It's Bill Gates who once declared that it's his aim to distribute software for free for 10 years and still be able to pay his employees.
well, I don't know how close he is to that aim, but I guess he would be able to do so...
thank you, I just wanted to post the same.
they can give them free iPAQs every other day and I still don't care, so what about REAL NEWS???

You can ask the same question to spammers.
For me, spam and website-ads are the same annoying thing, and I'll NEVER think of buying anything that's advertised, but as you can see, spam ist still around.
So I guess there must be many people out there who buy that stuff. It must be the same with popup/popunder/translucent ads, someone earns quite a lot with that; why else should one spend time "inventing" new kinds of advertising?
that's exactly what I asked myself.
on the other hand, since MS has already won the wordprocessor-war (that's what HE says), there's not much work to do right now...
