I don't see what's wrong with e-readers like the Kindle. It's just a medium, the contents remain the same, it still contains the same words, evokes the same emotions. I don't believe a reading experience is heightened just because it's on paper. I don't care if my books come on a printed page, digital screen or narrated audio. It's all the same to me.
My programming experience is limited to various shell scripting languages and JavaScript and Ruby. I'm currently teaching myself Python, but I do not know C++. Many people would advise others to not dive into C++ as a first language. BASIC is said to be easier, so if I were you I would go with Visual Basic since you already have a book for it, and then go up to C++.
Why do you need to learn C++? What is it exactly do you want to do with it? If you're a complete beginner to programming, I think it would be better to learn the structure of a program and how it works before learning a specific language.
If that's true I think it would be better to learn programming using a different programming language. If you don't need to get straight into a popular programming language, I heard a great place to start leaning is at processing.org, with awesome leaning how-tos.
You don't have to wait, I think you can download Visual Basic for free. Did a quick search and found this: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-basic-express
I only got this Blu-ray player because it was free. The three Blu-ray movies I have are: Silent Hill La Femme Nikita Run Lola Run All of which were on sale when i got them. My Blu-ray player also can play Divx Plus files, so now I can easily watch KH cutscenes on my TV.
I don't know about or Visual Basic, but programming is definitely worth trying out if you would like to learn the inner-workings of applications and games. Programming at its core, is just a bunch of if questions, and what to do if that question is true, or false. If you're good at logical thinking, applying your ideas into a program will be a snap.
Run Lola Run, I like how it takes an idea and then runs with it.
Now I can watch my three Blu-ray movies.
Even though I could hardly tell what was going on, it looks like it's going to be an amazing KH game.
Go ahead. I was gonna replace it soon anyhow. lol
Damn, hoped you wouldn't notice, and then people would think Zack Efron was your muse. Maybe they still would, if only for a second. EDIT: Anyways, here's what my signature was before. This was also my signature once, but only lasted a few hours.
Lovely to know.
So it can be implemented. Is it safe to assume that this is going to be approved?
Yes I have seen The Science of Sleep, I did make connections with Eternal Sunshine when watching it but I had no idea it was by the same filmmaker until now. But I think the star behind Eternal is its writer, Charlie Kaufman. I have no problem with foreign language films.
I talked about Wristcutters and Eternal in a different thread. I posted a link to it in a previous post.
Of course I form my own personal opinions on the films I see, but what I watch is based on reviews and recommendations. And because you insist that Brazil is such a good movie, I have added it to my Netflix queue, at position #2, behind Badlands. Just to make sure I'm not missing out.
Roger Ebert is sometimes known to have a change of heart when it comes to his reviews. Look at The Passenger, Groundhog Day and AI. I will give Brazil a try eventually, but not right away. Also I just realized that this thread's title should be "My Netflix DVD Activity," just to be correct.
A Single Man, I'm actually watching on television now. An art film at it's core.
I've read Roger Ebert's review on that movie some time ago and decided to give it a pass. But I will give that movie a try if I ever get a chance to watch it non-Netflix.
