The smart choice would be to provide extras for the breakage and such and work out some deal for repairs ahead of time. Not to mention, you could easily pair kids up to read off a single reader if needed, the reading angle on those screens is amazing.
Well said. I think two things would also have to be in place for something like the Kindle to be useful (i.e. - not a gimmick). A cell tower close enough for an Internet connection (or a WiFi hot spot) and a way to charge the things. Good thing with the Kindle is that it will go weeks between charges, even with heavy use (unless you use the active content, then you get about a week) so you won't need to have access to electricity all the time. You can't do that with a laptop or tablet.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as the saying goes, but that doesn't mean the imitator has the same intelligence as the imitated. A parrot is a good example of this.
But, you should be able to open any.epub document on any device that supports.epub, even with the encryption in-place. Or, at least, that's my understanding.
Your understanding would be incorrect. If the ebook is encrypted in an unknown/unsupported scheme then, obviously, the ebook reader will not show you any of the encrypted parts (or maybe none at all, depending on the application/device).
And each publisher/distributor decides which they use... there is no "standard" that they adhere to, either. B&N and Amazon, for instance, each use their own encryption scheme and can't use each other's books without first stripping the encryption and possibly converting them.
First, get states to simplify their tax codes to make it easier for companies to work with multiple states. Second, pick a direction to tax and standardize on it instead of states constantly bickering with companies and individuals. Third, there are MANY reasons to purchase something online versus in a local store, most of which have nothing to do with whether you are paying sales tax or not. My big reason? Convenience. I can find what I'm looking for much faster and get it shipped to my door without the hassle of parking spaces, crowded isles, and irritating people
I think the point was that condemning an entire religion for the actions of a few is, well, stupid. Be it Christian fundamentalist murderers, Islamic fundamentalist murderers, cow rapers, or fungal mutant centrists.

I don't know about any of you and I'd like to keep it that way...
Which still doesn't make them as smart as humans... Well, some humans at least. :p

Arguing with AC is like like trying to agitate a block of lead with a magnet.
I'm doubting this was the only evidence... but also consider that he basically confessed to rape and "trying hiring a hitman" during the plea process.
It takes a village to raise an idiot, you know.
You're a spy and you don't really exist. So where does that leave us?
Wheat or white?
Maybe Intel is donating a few billion to Dell for them to buy AMD... best use of R&D funds for Intel, ever. :p

The boobs are at zoom level 450 or so.
Maybe it's a "flash cache thrash" that wears out and degrades performance? :p
It could be rappers, cow rappers. Or was that cow wrappers?

Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run... :p
It is possible that individual features of HTML will have versions instead of the entire standard. Maybe each tag will have a version? :P
At least you had a good pee. For your next post try for a good BM!
This. I know several people that have yahoo accounts because of this.
Oh the huge manatee?
Once you try Wally, you'll never go back to mere mortals.
Not if he hacked into it from your house. :p
But isn't that whole "native support" issue what caused this whole thing to explode? Google dropped "native" (in the browser) support for H.264.
