Standby electrics seems to be unnecessary, but actually plays a very important role. Standby energy, interval between something, excess, all are a lubricant of our daily severe life.
In East Asia or Amerindian civilisation, they have had a irresistable yearning towards the Sun. Often the Sun had been characterised as the objective of faith.
Exactly. And regardless of whether Google intends to do so, they are going to enhance the role of the Internet from limited purposes to more diversified area. We are not certain who's going to rule the world, but it is certain- I assume those who rule the Internet will do.
I bought the short wave radio -Skysensor 5800 made by Sony for the first time at age 13. At that time I greatly enjoyed listening to the broadcasting from overseas. I started listning to FEN at age 21, and I started listning to BBC at age 27. I changed the short wave radio three times and all were made by Sony. Now I sometimes listen to the radio through the Internet. Radioes are no more needed. Times have passed.
I am the perfect person that can tell. Flat-screen is very expensive, and I don't buy the flat-screen next time. There are two corners in any premises, in which large section was shared in flat-screen while other sections were all occupied by many small CRT versions.
I would say it will take more than 5 years for flat to occupy the whole share of CRT.
Seems Google's claim is legitimate. Mainly to publish a book still means to generate a book in print. Who knows in the coming few years, publishing mainly means to come up with the articles in the Internet on the e-paper?
Several thousands years ago the Ten Commendments were written down on the stone, in Mesopotamia cuneiform was invented to write down the letter on the clay, in Indas civilisation many clays were found with still unknown letters, Rosetta stone was a clue for us to use stones to write down the letters.
Later papyrus was found to make paper, but we had to wait another 1500 years till Gutenberg invented the printing technic. Then the book in current form had been gradually established, till then goat skin had been used and the roles were general, the technic of binding, printing were only developed later.
We must say the history of books is not so long as we might assume.
We used to write a letter in paper with a pen. Now we rarely do so.
Library used to refer to only building that contains lots of books, now that also means collection of contents in computer.
Microsoft may become major opponent of patents, if they were unable to obtain any patents in the future. As long as they keep on being a company of cutting edge technology, it is not likely to occur for them to be an opponent of patents, it certainly depends on the company's attitude toward R&D of new technology.
This is a very good constructive initiative. The price of book in paper includes cost to bind a book, cost of paper, printing, and then loyalty of copyright. In the age of the Internet almost limitless proliferation of copyrighted materials can be done, the price of book should exclude other than loyalty of copyright. I hope the price of knowledge's going to be much cheaper than the price of book in paper. Welcome.
You were the first to reply to me, at that time I was posting a comment in English at/. jp as I stated earlier, I was unable to get any replies from that site, so I decided to move to this site. Because you responded me well, I am now a slashdotter.
Thank you very much indeed! -As to anime(I'm afraid my post being offtopic ), I am not accustomed to see animes since I am good at conceiving a image from descriptions, but I just always fail to accept(or refuse to accept) images already shown in animes. So unlike other ordinary country folks, I never get access to animes/ mangas at all since I was a child.
When I was in America, I was amazed to find how scarece the number of animes/ mangas in bookstores, basically at that time( 18 years ago ) I thought it is owing to differences how to grasp the world between people who use ideogram and people who use phonetics. Personally I don't like to read or watch any animes and mangas, because in my opinion they so restrict our ability to imagine what they really are like. People hold different images if we were not shown real images, but unlike real images like photo, anime/ manga limit other alternatives except for the ones that shown, and I find it not so interesting. Since I was a kid, this tendency hasn't changed yet. In the wake of manga cultures many years ago, those demerits were raised frequently in knowlegeable people, but now not. Those are a matter of our preferences though how do you think about that?
Let's come closer to the favourable state. Winner-take-all does not mean much more than it used to do. If many people started thinking so, what would be likely to happen next?...I learned 75% of ya is necessary to amend the constitution. It's hard, but first of all I don't believe the constitution should regulate every nook and crany.- Should be just a declaration of principles on how to govern the country. Such details as regards electral college are enough to be ruled by related laws or other rulings....But the reality is different. Things might be completely different if you knew the priceless importance of this system.
This option clearly reflects much more of the minds of the people. They don't have to change current electoral college system, therefore they don't need an amendment of the Constitution. Once proportional representation is introduced in the electral college system, electoral colleges are becoming more and more ceremonial and will not affect anything regarding electing the US President, which will eventually lead to the amendment of the Constitution as an optimal consequences.
Seeing that the results of 2004 Presidential Election, Urban areas like California, East Coast elected Democratic electorates and in the rest of the US, they elected Republicans. If each state wanted to elect Democrat or Republican governer, this system would work well. But things are not for governers but for the President. The US President has to reflect people's will regardless where they live and doesn't necessarily reflect which candidate the State chose.
The problem in this system is 1) Winner-take-all does not reflect the people's will. 2) The number of Electoral College is very small and does not reflect the population of the State's voters. 1) is seems Federal government is respecting each State's decision who they choose. -But actually autonomous significance each state used to have now almost faded out. 2) is those of similar to the propotional representation, which is regarded as one of the best ways to reflect the people's will. But this case is different. We don't have to have Electoral Colleges for this (to reflect the people's will well ) purpose. The role of Electoral Colleges are rather ambiguous. And incorrect.
An elimination of the Electoral College, and introducing the popular vote instead. - I think it's a perfect choice. Very suitable to tackle arising problems on Presidential Elections last two times. While on vote for Nobody, I don't think it's a good idea.
Electronic balloting is dangerous. Because it can be manipulated easily. Ballot used be a ball in which we can write candidate's name and throw in a box. Back to the most trusting way is the best answer.

But that doesn't change the fact that Scotch in Scotland, Bourbon in Kentucky, Sake in Fushimi, Shochu in Satsuma are the best.
Yes. Just the same. Owners show the same mentality here.
Large military is important, but information is more important. USA never let go of grip on the Internet for they know that.
They had better try to integrate their polity first, by and large economic prosperity will be built on political stability.

300 years later We will have information of 300 years ago
Unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge to evaluate whether this is a good movement.

This is the very autoritative beginning of the advent of e-books, welcome!

Why not change to the Direct Election System nation wide? Electoral Colleges do not reflect people's wish well any longer.
