EDIT: corrected some atrocious grammatical errors introduced in my last edit!-Darwin (January 31, 2010, 12:50 PM)
Why do you guys keep blanking out the product name? Seems pretty relevant to me...-f0dder (January 29, 2010, 02:15 AM)
I agree.
The other one that 'irks' me even more is Me versus I
All through grade school the teachers were pounding into the students, "Mary and I go to the market".
Yet, today, I cringe when I hear a statement like, "At the party it will only be William and I"

You guys were talking about Amazon, (whatever) database lookups.
I suggested, instead of relying on Amazon or whatever for their book/cd/music lookups, Collectorz would spend that money on getting a look-up database for themselves.
that way, it would satisfy all the look-up queries they had.-vizacc (January 21, 2010, 04:25 AM)

speaking of lookups -
for those curious
you can buy 3.1 million-record music collection with all the artists, CDs, tracks, timings, discography information for a 5-figure sum.
with that, it could probably fulfill all those look-up queries.-vizacc (January 21, 2010, 02:54 AM)
I switched to Mediaman a while ago, that handles all (physical) media (books, DVD, CD, games, cartoons) in a very nice way. If you want to change, just try it. The barcode scanner that can be used with a simple Webcam is a plus when you have tons of media to index.-MerleOne (January 20, 2010, 08:47 AM)
Isn't IMDB an Amazon thing anyway?-Carol Haynes (January 19, 2010, 04:33 PM)
Perhaps something similar happened with other services which caused the move to a standalone db from the start? Perhaps IMDB or others complained in a similar fashion. Either way, I know Alwins eyes lit up like a child on christmas opening the new xbox 360 they wanted when he saw this message.-Josh (January 19, 2010, 04:04 PM)
It'll certainly be interesting to see what this does to the apps... Seems pretty unprofessional not to have noticed that point from the Amazon license before developing the apps, tbh.-TucknDar (January 19, 2010, 03:21 PM)
Either that or I need another injection or Rorschach test.-MilesAhead (January 03, 2010, 01:35 PM)
quick, feel this.... .:: ;' ~.: ::, :-)-Target (January 04, 2010, 08:38 PM)
I see you were determined to leave a blot on my post.

(Need a Rorschach/Watchmen smiley right about now!)There is one particular grammar mistake that really irks me: a/an usage.
People that misuse them tend to fall into 2 groups:
Native English speakers that tend to overuse "a".
- Examples: a apple, a egg, a ice cream cone, a octopus, a umbrella
Non-native English speakers that tend to overuse "an".
- Examples: an ball, an computer, an shirt.
The native English speakers bother me more than the non-native ones, since this is something you should have learned early on in grammar school.-app103 (January 02, 2010, 09:46 AM)
Hate to keep posting here so frequently, but J-Mac, I wanted to let you know that I just released Breevy 2.24 today, which adds support for importing MS Word AutoCorrect entries.-P.a.t.r.i.c.k. (January 06, 2010, 03:43 PM)
