DISQUS

Actually, MediaPortal was exactly what I was going to use, as it will allow me to use my iTunes music, give me access to email, RSS, and a webcam (?). It sounds very good indeed. If I go the "homebrew" option, it's definitely my first choice.

I'm not sure what you mean Posty. An amp would be more cost wouldn't it? Then I'd still need to decide the best thing to plug into it, and a lot of my "desirable" features would still be MIA

I can't. someone told me it was rude...

Thanks David, it really is.

They need to get the enterprise tool and let you download the config. It's doable but a bitch to get right.

Hooray! I haven't pulled mine out to make sure it's still working yet. Maybe if it's not working I'll wait till you're out, and pinch one of yours.

I'm hoping Peanut is a little less simpsons-yellow myself.

Doing that would fly in the face of the Joker's shtick though, "Why so serious?"


At that point I'd be the only one not getting the joke. And I really don't want to cross the Joker - he might hurt my family.

Hehe! I was surprised at just how many people laughed at the Joker's antics at all the most inappropriate moments. It's testament to Ledger's acting ability that he was able to elicit laughs between brutal homicides.

You're welcome. I'm glad I could help.

It sliced and dices and does your taxes too. You know that it's a bit rude to just copy and paste your front page sales pitch into comments. The whole idea of marketing yourself on blogs is to engage in conversation with customers, like Chris did (above).


And your name is a misnomer as well, it's not Ajax, it's flash, otherwise I could use it on my iPhone.



I can however see the vuzit document somehow, so they win!

Cheers Cyrus, I use the secure version all the time, but a surprising number of people don't. In a perfect world Gmail would always use it. Well actually, in a perfect world, we wouldn't need to secure our mail would we? And you say you hacked your own account? How long ago? Was the exploit fixed?

Thank you for letting me know rune. I'm glad I could help.

Wha?

It does appear to be having some issues at the moment. I've changed the document they were both pointing too, as the other one was throwing errors (maybe it was sending the wrong meta info), and it seems to be working again. It's also got the same zoom issues it did before that Vuzit seems to have sorted.


I get the impression that the PDFmenot guys threw it together in a weekend and put it online, but have no real future plans for it (I could be wrong of course), whereas you Vuzit guys have a big model for your product. There are so many competitors in this market though, with Scribd.com being your biggest rival I'd imagine. they essentially provide the smae service, but I'd argue that iPaper is a huge deal, and puts them at an advantage over your viewer. Sorry, it seems like I'm picking on you guys a bit, but I'm curious about your plans to keep up with the big guns. Does Google entering this space (slowly but surely) worry you at all?



One way you could differentiate is the privacy concerns of these tools. I'm currently looking at implementing a PDF viewer into a school webpage, and the documents I wish to share shouldn't necessarily be promoted "socially" on a site like scribd. How could Vuzit help me keep my documents under my control on my own site, but more useful to my visitors (search, full page viewing, faster etc)?



Thank you for responding to my original post - it was a throwaway post I wrote very quickly and with my initial first impressions. I hope you don't regret me voicing my additional concerns.

It's all a bit unfair for poor Yahoo though. Microsoft's offer was uninvited - and suddenly they have the choice of keeping their company's culture alive, and doing things their way, or being subsumed into the corporate bohemoth of Microsoft, just to please the shareholders. Never mind what their users want. Frankly, to berate them for not selling out to Microsoft seems like a low blow. It's all very easy now to say they should have taken the money, but how would it have altered their company? And how would it have affected the users - people who love Flickr and their other properties? I'd like to think Yahoo was thinking of us, rather than their anonymous shareholders.

No problem. Thank you for posting it.

I'm partial to yubnub.org - which has been doing something similar for years, just not with the fancy old school interface. Yubnub has many more commands and is "social" i.e. users can contribute new commands. It's very good.

Hey bernarda! Thank you for your kind words.

On that 'purines' idea (I had to wikipedia it)

Purines are found in high concentration in meat and meat products, especially internal organs such as liver and kidney. Plant based diet is generally low in purines.

Examples of high purine sources include: sweetbreads, anchovies, sardines, liver, beef kidneys, brains, meat extracts, herring, mackerel, scallops, game meats, and gravy.

A moderate amount of purine is also contained in beef, pork, poultry, fish and seafood, asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms, green peas, lentils, dried peas, beans, oatmeal, wheat bran and wheat germ.

Mil eats nothing from the "high" group already, but eliminating the "moderate" group would remove pretty much the rest of her diet: spinach, asparagus, poultry, mushrooms, lentils, beans and oatmeal. We couldn't do it.

It's been released in Australia, and is available at Atlantic DVD who ships internationally for 19 Aussie dollars plus shipping:

It's region 4 however, so be warned. The quality of the transfer isn't great - in fact, someone has accused them of just ripping it from an old VHS copy, which is very probably true. You can see my review of the DVD package in my post Hercules Returns Returns!

I hope you can get it. I love it. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment!

Thank you, finally something sensible.

It might be that they aren't useful arguments, or even that you never use them. But they certainly get used. Particularly in on-line discussions. There are people like yourself who are certain of God's existence, and that certainty stems from something that can't really be shared, let alone proven. But for other people, arguments like these are common when they try and convince those around them (maybe even themselves) that Christianity is different from those "other" religions.


I'm not saying that there can never be proof, or that people shouldn't try arguing that God exists, but just to avoid these simple arguments. They really do get used as "proofs".
