There's a huge difference between 300dpi in printing where your C,Y,M or K is either on or off, and 300dpi in systems where the C,Y and M or your R, G and B come in 256+ levels. (chemical photo printing and color displays respectively)
Print artwork is vastly inferior to a good photo print at the same resolution.
Whoops, mistakenly modded this insightful. The whole point of pdf files is to have consistent layout, just like the whole point of html is that layout can adapt to the output device. Both formats are equally useful in different circumstances. That the formats have slowly cross-bred to form bastard children is a shame.
That can easily be fixed by not putting the decryption keys into the player. Not being able to access the content might actually be a blessing considering most of the crap they put out these days.
"fine a person" sites, don't provide the same functionality as a phone book, but boy are they lucrative. Whenever I don't agree with someone I fine them $50.
I have to agree. They are so close to getting it with realizing that the strategy is fundamentally flawed, but still they cling to DRM-lite.
Oh well. One day the industry will get it and drop all copy protection, like it did in the early '90s. And then the next generation of managers will demand protection and the cycle will start all over again and again and again.
You've obviously never met a theoretical physicist. Many are of a deep seated belief that reality is but a mere shadow of their maths. Luckily the good ones keep a sense of humor about it and give a nod in the direction of reality now and then.
First Brian May, now Meatloaf? Is astrophysics mandatory for classic rock legends? What's next? Will Robert Plant drop his Aleister Crowley obsession in favor of studying the Pioneer anomaly?

My provider is set to launch their GSM network in a few weeks and I'm pretty excited.
As a European, this comment takes me right back to the heady days of 1994.

Even for "normal desktop" use, that extra inch isn't going to mean much.
The innuendo value of your comment just went off the scale.

That and the Sun being fainter than a full moon on Earth when seen from that distance make solar panels rather impractical.
Just wait for the blue sky of death.
So the problem with salty rain is that some stay dry and others feel the pain?

A disposable reading device made out of paper? Whatever will they think of next?
Just wait until you read his letter on why the iPad sucks.
That's called the Leidenfrost effect.

640x400 pixel resolution. No EXIF data. And we liked it.
I forgot. Is Japan the 53d or 52nd state of the US? Or doesn't US law apply in Japan?
Opera tells me that I need an account for that. I don't want an account.

I manage the same thing with a cellphone and no friends.
Brick, hardwood and sandstone versus steel, glass and drywall...
I would bet on the 15th century buildings lasting longest.
