Mine didn't come with any sunlight warnings that I'm aware of - hell, the promo video released by Sony shows it being used extensively in full sunlight. I have a Sony PRS-505.
Perhaps the difference is because of the materials used to construct them? The PRS-505 is mostly aluminum and glass.
I'm not sure. The reader pictured is very definitely a PRS-505. My guess is simply that the reporter was clueless and didn't realise that it was an older Sony product rather than something new out of an LG lab - the only part of that picture that belongs to LG is the solar panel itself.
The only problem there is that you shouldn't expose e-ink to direct sunlight...
[citation needed] - as far as I'm aware they're quite happy in direct sunlight; certainly I have used mine in direct sunlight a *lot* with no noticeable issues. Care to provide some references?
So can you go to any newspaper and advertise your con business freely? Just try and see what happens.
Yes, you can. Do you really think that the newspapers employ an army of lawyers to exhaustively vet submitted ads for trademark violation or other criminal activity? Unless it really obviously sticks out, your ad will be published with no questions asked.
The papers will just rely on trademark law, in the same manner that Google does, to hand the legal obligation off to the advertiser. They may also decide to clarify that point via their terms & conditions.
Judging by the father's comments, she's all set to have a pretty lousy childhood. By all means allow her to learn stuff that challenges her, but not at the expense of doing all the things children should have the opportunity to do (like playing, socialising with friends etc).
"Our main aim is to make sure she keeps learning at an advanced pace."
Any father who has that as his primary aim shouldn't be a parent in my opinion.
Why is it unfeasible to write that many bits at once? As far as I can see there's no practical reason that would prevent a write system with far more than that many simultaneous channels - and more channels equals more throughput.
Could you imagine a CD burner which takes 30ms per bit?
It'll need to get a LOT faster to be used in any kind of processing or storage medium.
Who says you have to write things serially? Admittedly write latency would suck, but you can still get a phenomenal throughput if you write a whole bunch of bits in parallel.
Most open wikis are left that way to encourage collaberation, and usually have a TOS somewhere that prohibits spamming. And even if the TOS doesn't prohibit this, it's bloody obvious that whoever runs the target site doesn't want a pile of meaningless content that isn't relevant and they can't use.
I say good on the university for pulling this project down, and whichever ethics committee approved this project should be replaced - they clearly haven't done their job properly!
I did choose that word deliberately, and I'm still happy with it - what I think you missed was that I was using it in a comparitive sense, rather than absolute. The market for N800/810 etc is certainly a niche one when compared to the market for the iPod/iPhone.
Slashdot Mirror
Google is correct, because it actually evaluates the expression properly. Bing just parses it left to right.
Google: 2^2^2^2 = 2^(2^(2^2)) = 65,536
Bing: 2^2^2^2 = ((2^2)^2)^2 = 256
Clearly, bing doesn't understand basic math.
Your grandma reads slashdot?
...but the conclusion I came to was that the reader itself was clearly an older Sony product that LG makes the OLED display for.
LG does not make the screens for Sony readers, and the screens in the readers are not OLED - they're vizplex e-ink.

SAS looks like some kind of acronym. I wonder what the A stands for.
SAS stands for Special Air Service.

KDE-4.2 has been in the gentoo tree for ages - if you want it, just make sure you're running ~arch, or unmask it.
This is slashdot - there's nothing to get.
The very fact that there are spacecraft capable of that says it's not an impossibility. Expensive maybe, but certainly possible.

30ms is pretty slow by memory standards.

Gaaaa.... someone hand me a brick wall. Ubuntu != Gentoo! Clearly I need to learn to read...
Huh? Gentoo isn't downstream of Debian, it never has been. It's one of the top-level distros in its own right.
Coral Cache mirror of the page.
It's an image scanning app.
All variants.
Awesome, thanks :-)
Looks interesting - any chance you'd be willing to post an epub version?
Would you mind uploading it (or allowing someone else to upload it) to Mobileread?
I second and third this - worms was (is) awesome!
Aah, but you only get wet if you remove the DRM (aka melt the ice).

Does that clarify my meaning?
