Here, try this version: Senators stating they are illegal is an outright lie and also a violation of the first amendment. See how adding just one word which was implied anyway makes the sentence clear? See if you can do this for yourself in the future, I won't always be here to help.
Kind of went over your head, eh?
The nonsequitur is, making the statement that Senators saying these are illegal is a lie and a first amendment violation is a nonsequitur when no such statement was made.
How does that solve the problem if his father also shares some paperbacks with someone else, and he also shares some books with a friend.
That was not in the parameters of the problem as stated.
In my case, I share SciFi books with one daughter, she shares horse books and murderous math books with my other daughter, and my wife and I share professional books. Both daughters share books with friends at school. Us parents share some books with their teachers.
Because men can have children into their 80s, so the slope has to be much shallower, and the fact that I and presumably a lot of people didn't know the fact likely means the impact is not nearly as noticeable as with women.
You're right, it probably is somewhere in the middle, but I definitely think slashdot on average tends to have a more skewed version even than the corporations. I wish the lawyers were winning, being one, but the dispute doesn't help me any...
"Until recently I've pretty much refused to buy one because I send paperbacks back and forth with my father after one of us gets done with the book and the idea of DRM offends me on pretty much every level."
So just both of you link your kindles to the same account. Problem solved.
but the idea of not being able to *really* own my book is holding me back
The big advantage of the kindle when it comes to ownership is you can access it anywhere, and you can't accidentally lose or destroy or throw out the book because you can always download it again.
Yes, that is the slashdot conventional wisdom, and the fact that it has never been supported outside shifty statistics shouldn't mean anything, right? It's not uncontrovertible fact, it's your opinion.
There are community colleges/junior colleges that give 2-year associates degrees, though some 4-year colleges also have separate associates degree programs (and some community colleges give bachelor's in limited subjects).
Generally a university is a larger organization than a college (and many universities are made up of multiple colleges) , typically offer graduate degrees while many colleges do not, and subsequently also tend to do more original research than colleges.
There is no distinction between college and university in the United States in terms of level of education for undergraduates; they both provide bachelor's degrees.
The problem is for a lot of people college seems to have no effect; they perform intellectually at about the same level after college as they do before. A lot of people also don't enjoy college, hate going, and don't learn anything there; they would be much happier getting vocational training, and our society would also be pretty much better off. Honestly, I consider a trained electrician, carpenter, or plumber "better educated" than someone with a C-average communications degree from a fourth-rank college. Everyone should be allowed to try college if they want, but not everyone is entitled to graduate.
OTOH kids who go to college first and then transfer to university do much better as a whole - it is much gentler transition and they learn to cope. Then they do quite well at university
What enrages me nearly beyond comprehension is the expectation that we must be versed in the F*Tards listed above in order to be considered "Intellectual". F* you and your tired demarcation of what constitutes mental prowess. The fact is that we have *moved on* and live in the now of our own immediacy. Knowledge of these people will rarely help you in any business or IT environment.
Did you make an error in writing your post? I don't know what you thought you were saying, but what you DID say was that Russia being corrupt was "adopt[ing]" the US' politics.
Slashdot Mirror
No, you're a fanboy because of your multiple posts expressing your anger that anyone dares criticize Apple, on this and other stories, and your sig.

You should probably have read the letter before you tried to be condescending: http://lautenberg.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=332100&

So share your kindle. Problem solved.
Senators stating they are illegal is an outright lie and violation of the 1st amendment.
Nonsequitur.
Allegedly, it was at one point.
...if you were a white male protestant landowner.

For the last time. It. Doesn't. Matter.

Hmmmmm....interesting. Though the degradation can't be nearly as bad as with women.

You're Canadian, aren't you...
Your odds of getting a kid with a really expensive problem go way up as you and your wife age.
Nah, just as your wife ages.
I was shocked to learn recently that a bachelors degree at a high end university (such as NYU or Columbia) can cost around 150k these days
NYU's a good school, but not really a high-end university. It's actually kind of middling. Unless you mean pricewise.

QED.
Still, it's a little weird to suggest that this is some brand new type of technology.
A document management system? You have a lot of competition there.
Profitability is never an excuse for a moral failing. Believing it is is a moral failing in itself.
Jobs' arrogance is repulsive.
Did you make an error in writing your post? I don't know what you thought you were saying, but what you DID say was that Russia being corrupt was "adopt[ing]" the US' politics.
And now we know, without a doubt, that the US won the cold war. They've even adopted our politics!
Because before the end of the Cold War Russia wasn't undemocratic and corrupt? You have an adorable naivete about you.
How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
