]]> Comment on Garden State by arianna http://lucis.net/archives/2005/01/30/garden-state/#comment-11298 Wed, 25 Oct 2006 23:45:15 +0000 http://lucis.net/archives/2005/01/30/garden-state/#comment-11298 I agree with this entire review. Zach Braff's <i>Garden State</i> is an ingenious work of art from start to finish. I couldn't add anything that would possibly make this movie any better. Soundtrack is brilliant as the aforementioned describes. As for the ending, I believe Zach Braff's transition from taking many anitidepressents to taking none at all, and in the end feeling better about himself and living in the "now", signifies why he stayed with Natalie Portman's character, Sam. There is no "elipses" to put to their love story, but only a period. I agree with this entire review.

Its programs, its bootup procedures, its kernel versions, its display managers (gdm, xdm, kdm ...) are all choices. I have used Microsoft's XP and MAC OS-X, and several variants to the Linux OS in my lifetime. I must say, Gentoo is by far the most advanced OS to assemble and install. It is somewhere along the lines of installing Sun's Solaris on a SPARC chassis (a truely painful process). For the novice Linux user, I would say if the installation is a success before the first 5 tries, then you're truely a whiz kid! It is not a very install friendly OS, nor is it meant to be easy. However, once it is up and running it is like the shinning light at the end of the tunnel. So many cool things can be done with Gentoo, game servers, ssh server, VNC server, (basically you can make it any kind of server you want) and it is capable of running just about any Linux platform program out there. In my opinion, although Red Hat and Solaris are the only two trusted OS's in the world, Gentoo Linux is definitely the wave of the future. It's free, the programs for it are free, and the updates and support are free! What else could you want from a secure OS? This is something Microsoft hasn't even dreamed of doing. Not only do you have to pay nearly $200 for the Windows XP OS, but if you want to do anything with it like typing a resume, well then you have to pay more (like another $150 more for the MS Office Suite). What a rip off!! Gentoo and Open Office do the same thing for free! If I had the choice now between Bill's P.O.S. OS (Windows), or Gentoo.....well I'll just say, I'd rather be compiling!!

There is no firmware available as well. If you want that feature you will have to buy a new DVD that has that feature. Too bad they don't list all of the features on the box. If so I would have never purchased it! I will agree the model can play just about anything you put in it. But what is most important to me are the minute features. I don't think it would've cost Philips that much more to include that insignificant but an important feature to me. Most DVD players had that option about a year ago if not more. I know this model was inexpensive but when has a company started stripping options that were available on most DVD players a year ago?
