James Skemp's StrivingLife

Hello,

 I noticed a very minor mistake in Volume One of The World As Will and Presentation, translated by Richard E. Aquila. I'm of the tech-industry now, where errata is a necessary evil, so ... I thought I'd point it out, just in case any other fixes need be made in later printings/editions.

 On page 396, in the last sentence of the first full paragraph, we have this text:

"Someone who is carried off as a captive by brigands, e.g., by pirates, has the right the kill them for the sake of his liberation, not only with overt violence, but also by devious means."

 This should in fact be (emphasis my own):

"Someone who is carried off as a captive by brigands, e.g., by pirates, has the right *to* kill them for the sake of his liberation, not only with overt violence, but also by devious means."

 If this should be forwarded to someone else, please just let me know.

 Thanks!

After all the hype, I finally had the chance to actually play a demo of echochrome, the M.C. Escher-ish game that's coming out for the Playstation 3 and PSP.

The first Google result, for a YouTube video, gives an excellent presentation of what the game is like.

However, at least in the demo, the camera controls seem sluggish. Perhaps the Sixaxis motion control would make this easier - I haven't tried it yet.

Either way, I'm especially looking forward to this (even more than flower), even more so since you can supposedly make your own levels.

Very cool.

While there's no way to hide them all at once, you can make it a short chore to hide the Windows Vista Ultimate language packs that you don't use.

1) Right-click, H.

2) Allow admin privileges.

3) Right-click, H.

4) Repeat step 3 for each language pack.

It takes less than a minute.
