Looking for the The Google Font? It is Catull, but found out more about the Google logo by reading the Google Font Page
Fancy reading my Looking for the Spam collection ? It's even getting multilingual
Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux... want to try it ??? Knoppix is really nice. And easy. Download, burn, reboot. Et voila, Linux is running...
How in the world do you sell something that's different? That's the biggest problem. The world's not quite ready to believe. It's like in the early days at Apple, they said, "What's it good for?" We couldn't give a really good answer so they assumed the machine wasn't going to sell. But I do know the way I plan to sell my product is by word of mouth. Some people will try it and say, "This product really gets my job done. It doesn't have fifteen fonts. I can't print it out in old gothic banners five feet long, but I sure got that article finished under the deadline." That's how I can sell it. Later, people will understand it.Patents that cover the Cat: Cat's LEAP method.
It seems unlikely that the Seven's target market- slightly older than middle-aged plutocrats- will be bothered about using iDrive. They're the kind of successful, techno-wary people who pay someone else to do their email.
As the artist Pham Thanh Tam told Buchanan: "Soldiers enjoyed it, having me around drawing. They thought it was relaxing. To have someone remembering you by drawing you - it was like telling a beautiful girl she is beautiful."
Or as Quach Phong explained: "The soldiers would ask me to draw their portraits in case they died. It was a kind of historical evidence of them. This way they thought they would have a tiny part of history. They told me about their hopes and dreams while I drew them. They liked watching me draw - it made them feel calm. My purpose was not to shock the audience. I drew for the soldiers."
Unlike nearly all other major rivers in Asia, the Mekong has few big cities on its banks and not much industry to contribute to pollution. But that will change over the next 30 years. The number of people living near the river and its many tributaries is expected to rise to more that 100 million, from around 70 million today. Urbanization and industrialization will intensify. And the pressure on the basin's natural resources - chiefly forests, fisheries and agriculture - will grow.
A self-made high-school dropout, Kreutzberger is respected by longtime fans and by waves of new immigrants who see Sábado Gigante as a way to remain connected to their homelands.
It is almost a tradition for new immigrants to join the studio audience and send on-camera greetings to their loved ones back home watching the show.
And while most Latinos, whether here or in our native countries, grew up watching Sábado Gigante, for the younger, better-educated generation, this program has become a symbol of everything that is trite about Latin pop culture.
But even devotees like UGA linguist Joe McFall admit it's always been hard for Americans to muster up enthusiasm for the languages of foreign shores. Not only does the whole world seem to speak English, but many consider it part of the American immigrant spirit to want to assimilate into society by suppressing the mother tongue, which is why many second-generation immigrants speak only English.
Last year's terrorist attacks, too, may be playing a role in the language debate, to the extent that they caused some Americans to want to disengage from a seemingly dangerous world.
"In the last 20 years, people were beginning to say, 'That's great, you have an international heritage,' and people were learning languages and preserving the cultures of their ancestors," says Linda Wallinger, executive director of the American Council on Teachers of Foreign Languages. "But now, I often wonder whether we may go back to an insulation and isolation point of view, with Americans saying, 'We don't want anything to do with foreign cultures � look what they did to us.'
It had to happen. Kids of baby boomers differentiating themselves were a train-wreck waiting to happen. Most of us thought it would be a rerun of what set us apart from our own parents. And it is, except that most of us aren�t paying close enough attention. First it was the music; now it�s support for U.S. unilateral military action against foreign countries.
What's more, Hollywood studio DreamWorks SKG has just bought the rights to produce an American version of it. But you are better off watching the original since there is no telling what kind of market-tested fakery those factories would turn it into.
Most important, you can watch TV on your own schedule and simultaneously cut commercials.
Try to explain the benefits and potential of dynamic Webpublishing, RSS, CMS... bla bla ... to a person who doesn't know how to write a hyperlink in htmlYou can add permalink/archives and backlink/TrackBack. Hypertext and the network: these are the basics. I wonder how many people are actually using the BlogThis bookmarklet when using Blogger/MovableType/Whatever. I don't. I use an aggregator instead, the sideeffect being that I tend to ignore news sources without a RSS feed.
The widespread campaign to dismiss webloggers as narcissists is a clearcut demonstration of how the self-knowledge taboo is currently being enforced. Capitalism (in the broadest sense) has no use for original, authentic, self-discovering individuals, because they naturally opt out of the conformist consumer culture. So the profiteers of that culture actively propagandise against self-knowledge, encouraging instead self-distrust and self-hate. ("Ewwww, if you don't fit in with us, you're not hip!")
Usually it is not the technology that is important, but what people do with it that makes the difference.
