Title: References should be free Review: After receiving this book i can only say it is disappointing. First, half of it is useless as it covers the programming of the shaders in assembler, while in the following chapters it introduces the High Level Shading Language which replaces it completely.Second, it doesn't really have much information, just a language reference and a collection of very basic examples (i mean REALLY basic).In overall, it is not more than "The CG Tutorial Book" from NVIDIA but reading Microsoft instead, and reading HLSL instead of CG. The difference is that "The CG Tutorial Book" is free to download in PDF. It seems Microsoft doesn with books the same than with software. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Eine Hymne an Georgien und seine Bewohner Review: Der Roman besticht durch die dramatische Verquickung der Geschichte der Personen mit der Geschichte eines Landes. Das politische, soziale, landschaftliche Panorama, das der Autor entwirft, laesst dieses Land, Georgien, in all seiner schillernden Ambivalenz lebendig werden. Es gelingt dem Autor, die Weite und verfuehrerische Schoenheit der georgischen Landschaft wiederzugeben - wirklich fuehlbar zu machen -. Und es gelingt ihm, die Weitherzigkeit, den Ueberschwang, den Seelen-Reichtum, den superben Stolz der Einwohner zum Erlebnis werden zu lassen. GEORGIEN - in der Vielfalt seiner Landschaften, seiner Menschen, seiner Sitten und Gebrauche, seiner Feste, seiner unuebertrefflichen lukullischen Genuesse!, seiner politischen Wirren, seiner menschlichen Schicksale, seinem heroischen Kampf um Ueberleben - um Wuerde und Freiheit - das scheint mir das eigentliche Thema dieses Mammutwerks.

Title: Careful with hot liquids Review: I got this for hot tea at work.It gets soft with hot liquids so I have to be careful to support the cup from the bottom as well as not gripping it too tightly. It's not a safe feeling when you have very hot water that could spill on you if you don't handle the cup right.And as the other reviewer said top edge (where you drink) isn't completely rolled up so it's not smooth.And the cups tend to stick to each other and you have to play with it to separate.So in the end it's too much work and too flimsy to recommend. The environmentally friendly aspect is the only thing going for it. And really I feel ashamed as I'm writing this that I don't just get regular mugs from home and wash them...
