You print photos? How quaint. I just leave them on my HD or if I want to show them download to a device of some kind. (I use my iPod but anything will do).
I have an i Touch and it can read Kindle books and ePub format, but not PDF and.pdb which are fast becoming the formats of choice.
All the other readers can read these formats but not Kindle.
Don't care what you say about Amazon, but they do have some choice bargains i ebooks. Best sellers $9.99 and free and 0.99 books all the time. Yesterday I "bought" some Phillip K Dick short story collections for 0.99 and a novel from someone I hadn't heard about free (which I am enjoying).
So, just give me one reader to read them all. It would be nice if it was color, but that's secondary.
1. What are thosse speakers they are wearing on their wrists? Look cool.
As far as electronic instruments go, I bought a Q-Chord (Suzuki) an electronic guitar/harp/ type instrument and I'm having a ball with it. Although I can play keyboards I haven't done so in a long time. I still can read music but with the Q-Chord all I need is the chordss to a song and I'm playing in minutes.
I was born into the Roman Catholic religion and to paraphrase George Carlin stayed a Catholic until I attained the age of reason.
I have a great many reasons to believe the Church is money grubbing. The nuns who taught in grammar school and high school were never paid a salary, have no Social Security benefits or pensions. When they retired these dedicated (and sometimes slightly loony) women have No Money. I get letters from the Diocese to contribute to their welfare, while the Church is the biggest landlord in NY, and there is more art in the Vatican that no one ever sees that could be sold off to pay for their welfare.
I now consider myself to be somewhat Buddhist in my philosophy.
Money isn't the root of all evil. The love of money is the root of all evil. Look it up.
Before she went to the party on the space station, Danielle stepped into the sanitizer and turned it on. Since there was no water involved their was no need for an enclosure and the sleek lines of her body...
"If Hoava gravity is true, argues cosmologist Robert Brandenberger of McGill University in a paper published in the August Physical Review D, then the universe didn’t bang—it bounced. “A universe filled with matter will contract down to a small—but finite—size and then bounce out again,"
OK if it bounced, where did it bounce from?
Interesting article to say the least! I've never 'liked' dark matter or dark energy but there wasn't much else to hang your hat on when it came to some observations in the real world and the mathematical models to explain them. I hope this proves out in the end because I think it will be a whole lot easier to prove then trying to prove dark matter.
Sorry dark matter researchers, but don't loose hope, after all it's still a theory and I'm sure the underground research will yield some interesting results.
It's not English food, but my daughter-in-law is of Irish extraction (her mother and father were born there). She goes to Ireland quite often to visit relatives and follow U2 (big fan). She hates the food, as it consists of a daily diet of boiled bacon, boiled cabbage and boiled potatoes. Hint Corned beef doesn't exist there.
Pub food is much the same and fish and chips is tolerable.
I'm not a teacher, but a lot of relatives are. Good people and they try to be good teachers, but the system is geared for failure. I and they live in Bloomberg City (NY) where Mr Bloomberg claims to have improved city schools.This my friends is bollocks.
Children are still being warehoused, not being taught the very fundamentals that are need for an education to start.My relatives all teach in middle school, where they still encounter children who can't read at grade level (or at sometimes at any grade level).
Mr Bloombergs system allows them $250 yearly to purchase schoolroom supplies, my relatives often go into their own pockets to the tune of hundreds of dollars more just for necessities that the $250 won't stretch for.
The bureaucratic system encourages cronyism and principals are appointednot on merit but on "who you know". In fact my cousins principal was given a doctorate at a major NY university with no work done.
I've been a Windows Mobile user for a long time because it did what I wanted. I put up with soft and hard resets, data loss and so forth, but I held in there. Then my old Dell Axim crapped out for the last time and my Zune went away also. I needed to replace both of them and checked out i Pods. I bought a refurbed 16 GB about 2 months ago and haven't regretted it once. I'm Tom and that's mu story.
Thanks Tom, coffee and donuts are in the back and we need a volunteer to sweep up.
B&N has purchased Fictionwise and uses the same DRM for their titles. Your book purchase is tied to the credit card you purchased it with. When you open the book it asks for your credit card # and then the book opens.
I've been reading ebooks since about 1996-7. It's not that I don't like paper books, it's because ebooks are more convenient (for me). I started off with Peanut Press which morphed into Fictionwise, which used the ePub format. I've also used Mobipocket software. I have on my Fictionwise bookshelf about 1800 books that I've read and downloaded in zip format to my hard drive for safe keeping. Right now I am using an i Pod Touch which can also read Kindle software.
The only wish I have would be if the i Pod would also have DRM Adobe reader so I could read books borrowed from the library on it.
What he's saying (IMHO) is that he hates Star Trek because of the way it was written. Being a science fiction author of some note I think he's allowed to say that.

N S S, that's been the case since WW II when Lockheed initiated the Skunk Works.

I've been using CFLs in my outdoor lighting for about 5 years now and I know it's anecdotal but I haven't found a problem.

"IF" it gets them all, there's no problem. ":IF"it leaves some (even a small amount) behind, you're fucked.

Short answer : No I wonder if Ronald Regans corpse is twirling in the grave yelling "Star Wars Defense, hoo hah!"
Sir, When you have more feelings for an animal than a human being, that is fucked up.
