I know it's bad form to reply to oneself but, in all seriousness, in 10 years I don't think it'll matter what his iPad looks like, he will have format-shifted his entire library to the new whizz-bang iPad 10HD or whatever the hip kids are using and those books will still be just as readable as they are now.
I don't know if you have watched recently but MTV no longer shows music videos, it is full of My Super Sweet 16 and The Osbournes/Run's House or whatever celebrity they can dig up from decades past.
George Lucas has beat this dead horse until it's nothing more than a thin, red paste. Scrape what's left into a hole and fucking bury it, man. It's done.
This, for me, says just about everything that can be said.
I may try and use it for a signature if you allow.
...Think of it scientifically. If the humans are 99% effective at catching whatever they catch when looking at your boarding pass, one layer would miss 1 out of 100 evildoers. Two layers makes that number 1 in 10,000. Of course, the effectiveness of one layer is still debatable... Think of it from a human point of view.
You know the first layer of security is 99% effective so, as the second layer, you tend to not even look at that boarding pass because the overwhelming majority of people coming to you will have already been screened correctly.
...On the other hand there are many people who claim to have experienced God, in many different times and cultures, some have written about their experiences, some are happy to talk about what they experienced. etc. Many of these people are reliable witnesses (e.g. you would probably quite happily accept their evidence in court), who are sceptical about evidence in many areas, and who have put a great deal of thought into whether their experiences were genuine of delusional. For the word God in the above paragraph you can so easily substitute the words 'Alien Abduction' or 'Ghosts' or 'The Devil' or many other subjects that are liable to appear in the pages of the Fortean Times.
Rather than trying to sync bookmarks between multiple machines, why not use portable apps http://portableapps.com/ via a memory stick and only have the one set?

Good. Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you.
Household current should be 230v AC, you American prat. </euro-humor>
I think you'll find that, in the UK at least, household current can be anything up to 13 amperes. Household voltage must be 230 VAC (+10% -6%).
...it's because a high powered laser needs a fuckton of power...
Is that the metric or imperial fuckton?
I think you'll find that the sun is, in fact, exploding exactly like a hydrogen bomb.

It'll be a rectangle with rounded corners. ;o)
Millenium 2.2 FTW! I loved that game and wasted many, many an evening / night on it.
I think the clue is in the name, you are speaking English not American.
Or just install rockbox which allows you to play .FLAC files on most iPods.

Do you have a link to the 'skanky bikini amateurs' webpage?
Oblig. http://xkcd.com/37/
According to European policy and the metric system you can no longer have a yard sale, you must now have a 0.9144 meter sale.
I think you may find that the iPod _also_ runs rockbox.
...alas, it was a Thursday...
I never could get the hang of Thursdays

You know what you doing.
...and I did not speak up because I did not view porn
I call BS...
I wouldn't suggest that it was a joke, more like an allegory taken to an extremity in invoking Godwin's Law.

A comment like this is useless without proof to back up your statement.
