Helpline Comment (29301) (Dec 13 2004 03:58 GMT) - This goes under the heading of things that don't quite work out right. First something did work out right. I downloaded Firefox and have been extremely impressed. This is the first time in 25 years or more than I've gotten an upgraded piece of software that is actually smaller, faster, and simpler than the version it replaced. Next, I've been playing with it. |

A Huge Sigh of Relief (Dec 13 2004 03:58 GMT) - Ahhhhh.... Everything for all of my classes has been handed in. I handed in my last paper on Saturday and then Thomas and I went out to the movies to celebrate. We saw Kinsey, which I had originally wanted to see just because I'm on the campus where it took place. It ended up being great actually. |

Nintendo DS оказался ходовым товаром (Dec 13 2004 03:57 GMT) - Всего лишь двадцать дней оказалось достаточно для нового хэнхелда Nintendo DS, чтобы президент компании Nintendo Сатори Ивата (Satoru Iwata) объявил о том, что продажи преодолели рубеж в миллион коробок. Эта система стартовала в США и Японии 21 ноября всего с шестью играми, но это никаким образом не повлияло на темпы продаж. Наоборот, Ивата объявил о том, что поставки Nintendo DS в США вырастут на 40%. Всего же к концу этого года Nintendo планирует продать 2,8 миллиона аппаратов, что на восемьсот тысяч экземпляров превышает первоначальный план. Теперь остается только посмотреть, чем ответит главный конкурент Nintendo DS - хэндхелд PSP от Sony, который стартовал сегодня в Японии. |

Бабушка по имени Сэнди Уильямс приглядывала за тремя внучатами, которые баловались Grand Theft Auto на своей PS.

Where are today?s Weathermen? (Dec 13 2004 03:55 GMT) - "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." -- John F. Kennedy As I put this post together I'm watching a special on the Weather Underground. There are few politically aware people of my generation who don't remember the Weathermen, the SLA, the SDS, Black Panthers, the Yippies (listed in descending order of violence) and other groups dedicated to ending the Vietnam War, overthrowing the US Government and overturning society, either through acts of violence or theatre. Whether you agree with their tactics or not there is no denying that these groups, through their actions, brought their message to the American public and helped to bring about many changes in society ranging from the end ... |
