The feeling of always wanting newer possessions? I am looking for a word that describes the emotion or feeling of an intrinsic want of a new and better possession. Covetous or envious seem a bit too focused on the other other person's possession of the desired object whereas I am looking for something that is defined by the internal thoughts we have when seeing an advertisement for the latest iPhone or life-changing new service.    but I am wondering if there is a word with less emphasis on the second entity? Otherwise, would I covet new things from Amazon or Apple? Can I be envious of corporations?  For example, I just bought a new car and now, looking at my slightly out of date television, I feel the need to upgrade my T.V. with a newer, shiny one from Amazon. Would I be coveting that T.V. which Amazon sells?     I saw the ad for the latest iPhone, the iPhone 3000, and feel that my current phone is inadequate. I am a(n) ______ person, since I always desire something better than what I currently possess. If I was a caveman with a sharpened stick, I'd want your sharper, pointier stick.   I feel like there is probably some niche German word for exactly this, but I'm unsure it exists in English. Thanks! What is the distribution of the sum of non i.i.d. gaussian variates? if I write,  #!/bin/bash echo "foo"   or  #!/bin/sh echo "foo"   both yields same. I have seen some scripts starting with #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash. Is there any difference between them? What is dconf, what is its function, and how do I use it? Mark Shuttleworth  about the decision to include the Qt libraries in the 11.10 release, with a  Jono Bacon. Mark states that the biggest challenge to integrating apps written in Qt into the larger Ubuntu system is Qt's current non-compatibility with dconf.  What is dconf, and what is the role it plays in Ubuntu? What is the name of the tactic that politicians use to bury people with torrent of words? Some people write bloated books and long essays with skilful use of hooks, e.g. Jared Diamond; some others speak in long-drawn sentences with torrents of words, e.g. Noam Chomsky. It reminds me of a tactic politicians use in public discourse to waste people's time. I came across this word before but I can't retrieve it from either memory or the internet.

Confusion comes from the fact that only the equivalent of "this" is always used in my native language for such referring. But I've noticed that in English for such referring "that" is used as often as "this" (or maybe even more often).  Some examples for illustrating (just tried to google something appropriate to convey my idea better):     We assess local... the demographics of the local population. What are the natural traffic drivers in the area. Things like cinemas and pubs and retail and office and all that type of things and we now put together a bit of a matrix and actually give a weighted score to each of the things we know help our business. That helps us decide in a more scientific fashion.   or:     The problem of Cervantes' origin became after that into a tough matter. Some experts believed that the Cervantes from Alcázar, in the times of the Lepanto Battle, was in the age of a child, more concerned about gathering nests and that type of things than about fighting as a soldier.   and for "this":     I believe lot of people who involved fishery industries in Mexico Gulf are suffering now but as for economic issues, U.S government and other countries will support them and give an utmost response to it. Important thing is that we learn from this mistake and make sure this type of things will never happen in the future and protect nature environment thus we have to take this technology to get energy from water very seriously. I really hope this technology will be available and used for everybody as soon as possible.   Is there a rule describing proper usage of these words in cases like this? (or should I have written "..in cases like that"?) I would like to take a picture of a street during the day to depict how much traffic and cars there are on the street.  Is there anyway to do this with a long exposure photograph?  I have a Nikon D90 and I set the f stop down to 1/16 (the lowest of my lens) and set the time to 2 seconds. Doing this, the exposure is almost saturated when taken around 5pm with the sun setting behind a tree. Doing this, the cars passing by were very hard to make out against the stationary background, being visible as a blur in the color of the car.  Perhaps this is not possible and I should just do this at night where the cars lights are much brighter than the background.  Please suggest how else I might depict the traffic in a photograph?  Are daytime long exposure photographs even possible? Where are the review queue counters? The review queue counters have disappeared:        Where are they?  When I did screenshot the Close Votes queue was not empty, if someone think so.
