Quite right! Education is an outrage, it's evil, it should be stamped out! Folks will start thinking and then there's no knowing what they might vote. Oh, and while he's at it, he should get rid of the malaria too.
I can live with the fact that someone writes or records songs and wants some money back. Fair enough, I'm partly living from copyrights myself. Unfortunately, artists are represented by record companies. These come in flavors. I suppose there are a lot of people in the industry trying to do an honest job. On the other hand, American record companies might
And who said politicians couldn't be honest, and Germans didn't have a sense of humor, or ... No Photoshopping needed on this one. (c) Nick OHara 2005
A-sharp: One of the readers of the previous article, Dusk411, agreed and commented that particularly 80s music is hard to find. Most of the older music I looked for myself is 80s music, so we have a match here. Ironically, the founder of the OD2 download service, Peter Gabriel, is very much an 80s musician and also an artist I respect greatly for both his music and hi
A week ago I read an article by Stephen Bruce of the UK computermagazine PCPro on the problems suffered by music download services, in spite of their apparent succes. The payload of his analysis: Stores such as Napster and iTunes can't compete on price against the illegal file-sharing networks, which continue to flourish, and they're beaten on quality by CDs.
Hello again. First, let me state that I have nothing against Americans. Some of my best friends are, indeed, Americans, and in general, just because the plane got highjacked, you don't have to hate the passengers. Or even the cabin crew. Now, if you are an American, I have a warning for you. Not because someone is following everything you do on the Net or snooping on your harddisk, or that there are crucial parts of your anatomy needing improvement, but because your country is in
Earth spins faster if you go West. Now, I know that's untrue in more than one way in the scientific sense, but in daily life it makes more sense. Go West and you can eat you dinner in ten minutes (ready in two) while watching world history that's condensed in two-sentence soundbites, two minute CNN items or, for the intellectuals, twenty minutes of Discovery Channel.
I think the $129 is very tempting and reasonable, and a slightly lower price for OD-subscribers would be even better.
Dear Frogboy, I know perfectly well what Photoshop does and costs, I read your article and I think you are, rationally speaking, for the full hundred percent absolutely, perfectly, mind-bogglingly right, but ... also a bit naive, in a way that reminds me of the techies and engineers described in the Dilbert books. (The books, not the cartoons.) To a varying extend selling things is about rational arguments, but the cardinal sin in salesmanship is antagonizing customers, for if you do th
Frugus, I do have a company but it's still way too much money for me. Get me right: I would love to have some of those wonderful desktop objects running without having the whole load of DesktopX weighing down on my CPU. However, skinning, messing with icons and widgets, trying to create new desktop interfaces is *fun*. I seriously doubt if any of the ObjectDesktop fans (and I count myself among them) is going to fork out that kind of money just for 'fun'. To them being locked out of a admit
Hey, switching to GDI+ works for my clock too! Thanks Jim.
Bigger hands (how about configurable ones?) on the clock are nice, but it would be better if they'd start moving again. My clock gets only updated when I open the config box. For everybody who needs the know about the weather in 'the rest of the world' (it may come as a surprise to some, but amazingly there's much more 'rest of the world' than 'God's own country') : use Judge's XML Weather applet.
Thanks, Bootskin is a neat idea, guys, but after I had installed it on my win2000 pc, my machine started beeping alarmingly on startup (boot sector protection?); on the appearance of the BeOS screen I had selected, Windows froze totally (heh, just like the real BeOS when I tried that!). Selecting the original Win screen in Safe mode did *not* disable bootskin, but booting a second time in safe mode, \de-installing in the usual way restored everything to normal. (Phew!) The Win2000 screen has nev
