    Rip the nook hd. Had an excellent interface far superior in terms of look and feel even to iOS.

    The simple touch is the superior eink reader, too, with itâ(TM)s physical buttons. If b&j canâ(TM)t handle it, I hope somebody good buys the ip. Maybe Apple will buy b&n.

    25 M might be enough for a single person to watch some high def while doing a few other things. But you start to add in a partner and a couple of kids, that 25 starts to get really thin.

    Itâ(TM)s hard to say whether those services are overpriced, as thereâ(TM)s no good comparison available.

  9. Well, it depends on the judges.

    For an interesting study, watch the progression of what is reasonable in a property rights context in Kentucky courts as coal became ever more in demand.

    There has been a lot of ground covered for folks with disabilities.

    Well, I know some folks who look different from the Trump who might disagree. Also people who live within strike distance of a Korean ICBM. Or people who want to travel to Cuba. Or people who worry about another Deep Horizon-style oil spill. Or kids for whom it might be a death sentence to be deported.

    So yeah, if you're white and upper middle class, things are probably better for you than a year ago.

    I think if the election were held today, trump would win. There are a lot of voters who lap up hos every tweetâ"and rely on that as their source of news and commentery.

    I donâ(TM)t understand it and it frightens me, but it allears to be widespread.

    Well, as a self employed making less than 150k gross, my taxes are increasing.

    My father in law, a traveling salesman who voted for trump, is seeing a huge tax increase because he can no longer deduct the mileage expense for his travel.

    Over 10 years, this is a huge tax giveaway to the very wealthy, and a huge tax burden for the upper middle class down.

    Either that, or they are lulling their targets into believing they are secure with apple products.

    Ok. I believe in science, and i believe you vary your interpretation of the evidence based on a preconceived conclusion of your own.

    I also doubt your cognitive ability, based on your inability to understand how my analogy applied to you.

    Good day, sir.

    Speaking of obvious, captain.

    This joke is not on you though, itâ(TM)s on all of us, and the punchline is pain.

    Letâ(TM)s hope we can gather some political will and elect some decent representation moving forward. Hashtags: vote in the primary elections, vote in the state and local elections, not just federal.
