Re:Whatever Democrats will do regarding Palin,...

On: Democrats Crowdsourcing To Vote Palin In Primaries

Idea! Republicans should all registered as democrats and vote for Hillary Clinton on primaries.

Gosh, that's gotta be the Greatest Elections ever!

Listen. All democrats register as republicans and vote for Nancy Palin on primaries. At the same time all republicans register as democrats are vote for Hillary Clinton on primaries. Both win the primaries. Then the elections come. Any guesses how it's gonna end?

On: Democrats Crowdsourcing To Vote Palin In Primaries

I came to the same idea on my own. It's so bloody obvious.

It might not work, though, since most of the democrats are so passive they rarely vote.

Not only that, but in a true socialist state, everyone is happy, rich and beautiful, in perfect health and lives forever if he/she wishes.

Just like in Russia. Or China. Or North Korea. Or Cuba.

Re:Google Translate

On: Is Linux At the End of Its Life Cycle?

Exact translation: One has to keep in mind that Linux isn't Russian OS and besides that it's at the end of its life cycle.

Yes: he did say "life cycle". The last two words, literal translation, word for word.

supporting different formats

On: Are the New Kindles Tablets-In-Training?

My major problem with *any* e-book reader is a limited format support. I have lots of books in pdf format, no problem here, but I also have quite few in djvu and fb2 formats. Yes, I can convert them to pdf, but I guess I'm too lazy. On a laptop you just install the fb2 and djvu readers and here you go.

So the e-book reader I have in mind would allow me to install web-based readers, for reading additional formats. Plus, of course, other applications of your choice. That, of course, makes it somewhat closer to tablet. Whatever. I still want it to be mostly a reader. B/W is OK, very light, long battery life.
