I doubt if the automated typesetting used in ebooks is going to look as good as the human-tweaked typesetting in physical books for some time.
But it could go the other way very quickly -- as soon as publishers decide that human-tweaking the typesetting doesn't increase their income they'll drop it, just as many publishers seem to have dropped proof-reading. So I don't expect the eBooks to start to look as good as real books, I expect real books to start to look as bad as eBooks.
As far as I can see, it is protecting the new possessors of the dog who are the ones that had it chipped and so are the ones with a contract with the chipping company.
What has peer review got to do with this? Peer review is to ensure that what does get published is valid, but this story is about what doesn't get published. Nobody peer reviews a paper that is never released.
IYRC, your professors were oversimplifying. "embiggen" and "cromulent" are three syllables each. Try reposting your message with no words of three syllables or more. "Professors", "interfere", "communication", "principle", "anyway", "article", "commented", "memorizing", "information", "productive" and "repetition" all have to go. As does the "C" in "IIRC". Do those words really interfere with communication -- er, sorry, make it hard for each of us to know that the other means?
Good luck laying out a magazine or newspaper with laTeX. It can be done, but it's the equivalent of hand-cutting a screw-thread with a file. Word would be far better, because MS have forgotten that it's supposed to be a word processor and have bolted on loads of DTP features, but a dedicated DTP package such as Scribus would be far better.
"The Open Source Video Lan Client has been tweaked to run on the iPod by software developer Applidium."
Wow! I'll probably never have an iPad, but VLC will be really handy on my iPod.
Yes, which is why Rackspace shutting the site down is not illegal, just a bad thing for society as a whole. Why do people assume "freedom of speech" is just about the law?
Or evidence that the Christians are considerate of the wide spread of readership their profile will get, and deliberately write at a simple level to accommodate that readership, whereas the atheists just want to show off and don't care about their readers.
Seems to me that what you have there is data, not evidence.
For what it's worth, I have a profile on OK Cupid, and deliberately kept the language and writing style simple. But I have "solipsist" in the "religion" box on my profile, and we didn't get included in the survey.
"Secure" means different things to different people.
There's an old saying that if you ask the army to secure a building then they place armed guards at intervals around the perimeter and at strategic points within the building. If you ask the navy to secure a building then they make sure the doors and windows are locked before they leave. And if you ask the air force to secure a building then they take out a ten-year lease with an option to extend to twenty-five.
Don't be silly. There's this laptop I'm working on now, the desktop across the room from me, the old computer upstairs that I use as a print and file server...

What DRM issues does laTeX have?

So now they can lose a memory stick with their cloud password database on it (protected by the password "password").
After all, Australia needs more sheep, doesn't it?
Try comparing your soda of choice with water, and see which one works best at quenching your thirst.
Also I was naked and singing "my heart will go on".
Piss off ASCAP and what do you expect?
Get off the console, kid, I want a go!
But peer review is still going on here.

Sorry. Bad typing does interfere with communication.

Live music.
And film scores (for a while longer, at least).
Because they'll still try to charge you for the PD music, because they think that all recordings must belong to somebody.
Vista? It's still alive
I think "undead" is the term.
CCTV isn't very effective in stopping crime either.
Can't see any mention of CCTV in that link.

The data does not decide between the two hypotheses so far proposed, so it's not evidence in favour of either one one over the other.
If most people don't want any advertising then most people don't want targeted advertising.
And you do realise that it's because they've identified you as a techie that they're targeting you with all those viagra ads, don't you?

If you can browse the web, you can send e-mail.
But I can't. The phone supports it, the account doesn't.
Does it matter, if the account doesn't support email? I could put my company SIM into a smartphone but I still couldn't send emails.
