Digitizing Old Magazines?
"I have a lot of old video game magazines, they're nice for playing 'classic games' because a lot of classics are impossible without the manual, and hard without a magazine (the magazine obviously negates the need for a manual usually). But they'd get damaged with a flatbed scanner, and digital cameras are hard to set up right for capturing old magazines. I know that old documents are digitally archived with very high-res cameras..."
So, the question is, what is the best way to capture all the information in old magazines in digital format? Does anyone have a home-built rig taking after the angled-pair-of-scanners setup that Project Gutenburg uses?
"Personally, I believe that because the Chinese have stolen billions of dollars worth of software from the Americans since the earliest days of computers, the Americans have no moral, ethical, or legal obligation to pay for any software developed and sold by a Chinese company."
Wow aren't you a fucking moron.
If Google really cared they would fix Android Chrome to reflow text, instead of discriminating
I think you have it completely backwards moron. That's like saying "I don't know if I'm allowed to enter this open door so I have to assume that I have permission without asking first.
People's wifi networks are typically open by mistake or convenience. A lot of people leave their doors open intentionally, it doesn't mean you have permission to use their property. It simply means the people who have permission to use it are convenienced.
You need to ask first. The fact that you don't ask but instead suggest that increasing numbers intentionally want everyone to anonymously leach their network, and plead ignorance like it's totally okay, shows that you're just interested in leaching covertly to hide your wrongdoing.
You have a great criminal mind-set.
