TV Tome was a site where people could edit their favorite shows and contribute info.
In April 2005, the webastard announced that he sold TV Tome and was moving to tv.com.
This ticked the TV Tome members off. AND IT STILL DOES!

I was introduced to it about a month out of rehab. We had a recreational therapist who said, "All right, let's play rugby," and I was like, "Oh, okay. You just hit peoplecool!" The allure was (a) the competitiveness and (b) the contact. The contact is pretty trippywhere else can you hit someone with a chair as hard as you want?
The man behind Tartan is Hamish McAlpine, a Scotsman known as much for his business acumen as his brash, dandyish persona (wearing white fur to premieres, getting into fistfights with Larry Clark, etc.). "I feel that America has been culturally challenged, and that's where we come in," says McAlpine of his decision to open a U.S. branch. "We're sort of an agent provocateur. We don't have to answer to any American stockholders or banks; we have no one saying we are too outrageous; we have no one holding us back. In other words, we are operating in the true spirit of independence." For McAlpine, embracing the risqué is essential to Tartan's branding strategy. "For the last 21 years Tartan has established a reputation for walking a line which others fear to tread," he says. "Sometimes that can take us into sexually explicit territory and other times into intellectually explicit arenas."
Ces ambiguïtés sur la perception du passé alimentent un néo-nationalisme identitaire qui, dans ses expressions les plus extrêmes, confine à un négationnisme plus virulent que par le passé. Ce néo-nationalisme apparaît, comme ailleurs, comme une réaction à la mondialisation, l'ouverture des frontières suscitant de frileux replis identitaires.et un peu plus tard Chine et Japon, rivaux et complémentaires et Tokyo exprime ses "sincères excuses".
En Asie du Nord-Est, la Chine et la Corée du Sud connaissent des mouvements similaires. Se nourrissant les uns les autres, ils présentent le risque d'engendrer une spirale émotionnelle échappant aux gouvernements, qui les utilisent pour faire avancer leurs objectifs politiques.
Today there is an alternative. Nongovernmental microfinance organizations are showing, in country after country, that by providing tiny amounts of capital directly to individuals to fund businesses that they can run themselves, you enable change and, in fact, make a profit. Unlike government ministers who want to die richer than Croesus, these folks pay back their loans. Combine the concept of microfinance with inexpensive technology, and you have an explosive mixture.
EETimes: In some of your writing, you have indicated that the arts side of education is more receptive to this [method of learning] than the hard technical people. Is that a trend that you see?
David Cavallo: Absolutely. When we start to work with a school system, they usually send us the science teacher, the computer teacher, the math teacher. Our response is, "Send us the art teachers." They're used to working with a variety of materials, and they want to know "What is the idea, what is the vision?" It's been really successful in terms of the feel for these projects.
Si vous demandez à vingt scientifiques pourquoi ils ont choisi la science, ils donneront à peu près la même réponse, ils cherchent pour la plupart à savoir comment fonctionne le monde. Si vous demandez à vingt artistes pourquoi ils font de l'art, vous obtiendrez de multiples réponses, souvent confuses. Si vous demandez : "Pourquoi croyez-vous que les gens aiment l'art ?", ce sera encore plus confus. Ce sujet sur lequel nous passons tant de temps à réfléchir et travailler reste un grand mystère. Nous devrions être capables de rationaliser cela.Note: Defying Hitler: A Memoir existe aussi en français Histoire d'un Allemand : Souvenirs 1914-1933
Kopin (Taunton, Mass.) offers OEMs tiny single-crystal silicon microdisplays that combine with a magnifying lens to project onto the retina an image that appears to be coming from 20- to 30-inch displays.
Mitrionics (Lund, Sweden) is preparing a development platform based on a virtual processor and a software development kit. It lets users write concise programs in the proprietary Mitrion-c language, and then compile them into a massively parallel, reconfigurable processor. The development kit outputs VHDL code for the targeted FPGA.[...] The Mitrion platform will be available in October. A perpetual license to run the Mitrion Virtual Processor on a single FPGA is $7,000. The software development kit will be available for an annual support fee.
