in fact, they introduced ePub support over two years ago, and pdf support was from day one.
and just like any other reader, the usage of pdf's will suck since they do not reflow properly and need to be created for the EXACT screen size to be useful.
a simple exercise would be baseball. 4 games a month (i per weekend basically) $15.00 per ticket for the cheapest possible seat x1 that's $60.00 month.
now throw in a few extra shekels for getting there and back, say $5.00 per visit and you're at $80.00/month.
and baseball is one of the cheapest sports to attend.
try going to an NFL game for less than $50 each trip.
i think you missed the point. it doesn't just need to have an HDMI output, it has to be a protected system with HDMI output.
Sports is the single largest thing saving cable/satellite right now.
try watching Baseball on OTA TV. You'll get at most two games a week or so. The rest are carried by ESPN, Comcast sports, Fox Sports, TBS, and some other regional Sports Networks (NESN, YES).
Now try the same thing with Hockey.
NFL is the one sport that still has most of it's games available for free OTA.
oh the horror! someone wishes to watch ONE hour of television per night during the weeknights, and NONE during the weekends.
what are they, insane?
Can't they see there is something better to spend their life on?
Shouldn't they take that same 1 hour per day and spend it outside instead (regardless of weather) or doing something else, because obviously, they are spending too much time watching television.
(i'm betting 90% of the people reading/. spend more than an hour per day surfing the internet. maybe we should berate them too......)
using the same unsubstantiated "facts" that you do, I made just over 1.1 million last year selling a custom computer software program to a very targeted group of customers who have no other means of doing what my software does short of writing their own.
i microwave frozen orange juice containers with metal end caps to soften them up to speed up the making of orange juice
as long as there is enough OTHER substance in the microwave at the same time to absorb the reflected waves, you can put metal in the microwave without a problem.
yes, it's Bush's fault. After all, he would have personally hired all of these people.
Oh wait, These aren't appointed people, these are people hired by the SEC itself which has an HR department which is run by people who AREN'T appointed either.
stop trying to blame everything on one person. regardless of who it is.
After being asked about the App Store's recent ban on "sexy apps," Steve Jobs responded, "We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn out of the app store to keep the moronic soccer moms off our ass. Folks who want porn can just use safari and browse to it like a normal person. You know, there's plenty of porn available on the iPhone, and plenty of gay porn hookup apps that soccer moms won't even notice. You can download porn via the browser, or any number of "respectable" apps from companies that make us a lot of money like Playboy and Sports Illustrated , your kids can download porn on their iPhones faster than we can attempt to block it, so we just come up with some lame ass story for the soccer mom's and they buy it because they are fucking pathetically stupid. That's a place we don't want to go, blocking safari, because we know kids will find their porn via browser anyway, so we're not going to go there."
Then i would assume you are no longer purchasing any product made i china as you have no good way to verify such products were NOT made under similar situations, and will of course only be purchasing products made in nice clean first world country manufacturing plants.
Better be ready to drop your standard of living by about 1/3.
Because that's how much less money you will have available to spend after you pay the higher prices.
You should also purge your life of any of the products you already own that might be in violation of your supposed moral compass. I suggest starting with most of your computer equipment, as it's a good bet, most of it was made under similar conditions. (and don't forget your mobile phone as well).
no he thinks we shouldnt do it because we shouldnt waste the time on hoping it will work. instead, school districts should be free to fire shitty teachers and not have them protected by the union, and then if they hire a good teacher, pay that teacher based upon their results, regardless of what the 10 year veteran shitty teacher makes.
run it like a real small business.
not like the government.
if you do a shitty job you get fired. if you do a mediocre job, you dont get a raise. if you do an outstanding job, you get a raise regardless of what everyone else gets.
this also allows immediate turnover to those "better" teachers because they CAN be paid more if they deserve it, and not having to WAIT for turnover and HOPE you get a "better" teacher instead of just now keeping the overly inflated "bad" teacher from moving onto something else.
so a properly run voucher program, which would allow little Johnny from the "hood, to not attend his local crack infested school, but instead attend the much nicer and better equipped "white boy school" in the really nice suburbs, which all of the "rich white kids" already attend because they LIVE in that district, is a discount for the wealthy?
methinks you don't understand a properly formatted and run voucher program........
Slashdot Mirror
yes but only between their devices and only via wifi!!!
yeah
great
walled garden!!!!!
the sony prs505 will do both, and it's ancient.

no it doesnt
it depends on if they wish to PURCHASE the displays from the same manufacturers that Apple is.
Apple didnt invent the displays.
It's called Gorilla glass, and even the lowly Storm uses it (and has since introduction).
Only apple can get away with touting this as a "new" feature instead of a "new to us" feature and have people think its awesome.
you do know that apple merely took existing code and "created" webkit from it right?
it was called khtml.
really?
try doing the math sometime.
you'd be surprised.
don't forget to add fuel at $3.00/gallon.

a lot of people say the same thing about reality shows, drama's (how much csi can you really watch), etc.
Just because you don't like sports that much doesn't mean other people don't.
i think you missed the point.

Even basketball is more non-free than free.
some netbooks had soldered in ram which prohibited simply upgrading it.
The original Dell mini 10 for example.
you forgot obamasan giving the queen of england an ipod full of illegal beatles mp3's.......
i also thank you.
and my father just had a heart transplant that cost him a whopping $2500.00 total.
and all of his previous heart treatments cost him $2500.00 year over the last 5 years.
and i guarantee the treatment was better at Duke University medical center......
there is a difference between Discovery Channel and Discovery Science Channel...........

i put metal in the microwave ALL THE TIME.
and my microwave still works perfectly fine.
i microwave frozen orange juice containers with metal end caps to soften them up to speed up the making of orange juice
as long as there is enough OTHER substance in the microwave at the same time to absorb the reflected waves, you can put metal in the microwave without a problem.

He, like you, post AC for obvious reasons........

stop wasting money on shit that doesn't work.
change the system.
