Technically he didn’t travel between time lines because they both entered the black hole at the same time and its end was connected to the alternate time line that was created by Nero exiting first. Spock was in the “tunnel” or black hole already so the exit point which became Nero’s time line for the sake of argument was still at the end of his “tunnel” he just appeared further down the line.

When you click “Next”, the current position will jump to either the next bookmark, or the next file, whichever comes first.

I had this in a simple player some years ago, and I can assure you that after you have used it, it’s a must-have. It’s a super-simple way of finding a bookmark, even in the dark, which otherwise can be rather cumbersome. One way in which audiobooks are lacking compared to traditional books is that it is very inconvenient to go back to listen again to something you need to clarify, and then to find your way back to your current place. With the stop-at-bookmark feature, you click once to set a bookmark, then merrily rewind until you have re-heard the other three variants of the Russian count’s name. When satisfied, you just click “Next” as needed and you are back to your spot.

The Olympus Digital Voice Recorders that also function as mp3 players behave in this way — evidence that if you are serious about navigating through audio, this is useful. Unfortunately those players put an “Index Mark” only in their own format files, and not in mp3′s.

Can you tell me if the Rockbox bookmarking does this, perhaps by some setting I did not read about? Thanks for any help. G

This isn’t a unique feature of America, it’s a feature of the privileged. The Romans experienced it and so did the English. It takes on great opportunity to propel a generation (or set of generations) to greatness and after that, it’s a slow wearing away of the opportunity created. It is like a person making a million dollars. They live well. Their children live slightly less well. And children less so and so on until the money, the power, is gone. They may think they are “better”, but they aren’t. They are just lucky.

As for the problem of city-dwellers not even being aware of urban areas, or Americans not knowing about Sydney, that’s just human nature. We are limited in our perceptions, so we focus on what is around us.
