What if I wait to purchase the book until it's at my local grocery store, on their $5.99 table? That's where we've bought the previous 6 books. Are the publishers baking in their quoots about that?
Oh yeah, my daughter will like having a pile of loose leaf around. Real easy for her to handle and read.
About the only reason to d/l such a beast would be to take with you on a portable. I've done this with the Herbert Dune books. Have the paperbacks at home and copy on my work machine, for when slashdot's dull.
Read how Apple's Quicktime 7.2 update went and caused issues on Intel based Macs. It broke some PPC apps on some machines. Also, Apple's pulled a DVD drive firmware update, after it hosed some hardware. Now, I'm a Mac tech and have only owned Macs, except for my old TI 99/4A but you can't paint Apple in polished gold all the time. They screw up things just like any other computer company.
Dude, I have 27 full time semesters and no degree (keep changing majors). Got a job as a computer tech at my last college, making $35k/yr, banging coeds and profs, and I got free tuition as well. Screw the degree. Starting a job at a government research lab, doubling salary and they're paying moving expenses. Only down side is I have to support grad students. Takes them a year or so to learn that computer support is limited, rationed and they're now the bottom of the ladder. Again.
What if your body is not aesthetically pleasing in a skin tight suit? Is there going to be segregation when trying to leave Earth? At least big bulky suits can help conceal extra bulges and such.
Having grown up in Florida, I have no trouble with a war on tourism but, even though that's what I heard from the president, I now believe I was mistaken.
Ship of fools: Johann Hari sets sail with America's swashbuckling neocons The Iraq war has been an amazing success, global warming is just a myth - and as for Guantanamo Bay, it's practically a holiday camp... The annual cruise organised by the 'National Review', mouthpiece of right-wing America, is a parallel universe populated by straight-talking, gun-toting, God-fearing Republicans.
By Johann Hari Published: 13 July 2007 I am standing waist-deep in the Pacific Ocean, both chilling and burning, indulging in the polite chit-chat beloved by vacationing Americans. A sweet elderly lady from Los Angeles is sitting on the rocks nearby, telling me dreamily about her son. "Is he your only child?" I ask. "Yes," she says. "Do you have a child back in England?" she asks. No, I say. Her face darkens. "You'd better start," she says. "The Muslims are breeding. Soon, they'll have the whole of Europe."
I am getting used to these moments - when gentle holiday geniality bleeds into... what? I lie on the beach with Hillary-Ann, a chatty, scatty 35-year-old Californian designer. As she explains the perils of Republican dating, my mind drifts, watching the gentle tide. When I hear her say, " Of course, we need to execute some of these people," I wake up. Who do we need to execute? She runs her fingers through the sand lazily. "A few of these prominent liberals who are trying to demoralise the country," she says. "Just take a couple of these anti-war people off to the gas chamber for treason to show, if you try to bring down America at a time of war, that's what you'll get." She squints at the sun and smiles. " Then things'll change."
That's not a web browser (referring to IE), that's The Home Page. And several users a week will call in and say The home page is broke! or The home page is messed up! It's missing my links.
Yup! Most of my LJ friends are people who've I've known 20+ years. LJ does make for an easy way to keep up-to-date after I moved cross country. I have maybe 5 people who've friended me over the last 3 years who I've only known online.
'Course, I'm an anti-social geek so 200 friends would drive me nuts.
I stepped on my Powerbook G3 last month (daughter was using it under table; 6 year olds are so weird). Still works but screen is broke. Daughter thinks colors look cool.

What about the Star Wars Crhistmas Special? Did that exist or was I just tripping on Pop-Rocks and Yohoo back then?
Wait a minute, Hamlet DIES?!!! OMGWTFBBQ!

Don't forget JK Rowling waking up next to Suzanne Pleshette and realizing it was all a dream and she's really not the richest woman in Britain.

HORSE is easier to play. One less letter!

Very well said.

Her right ear looks to be 1/4" lower than the right. Deal breaker, that is.

Actually, I think I saw them running the test... Not quite as exciting in person
Watching people smash plates on nanotubes would be cool!
Smash, shatter!
Phil, I think you missed. Or not. Where then hell did those nanotubes get to?
No Linux, but there is a build of NetBSD for it.
One of my grand fathers was an engineer during the depression. Was too old to serve in WWII. The other was a rancher. Both were born in the 1800's.

Where's my MCA?
Within an hour of my post above, I got a call: My 'Backspace' isn't working.
I start by asking about Word, etc. Turns out they had unselected all their toolbars in IE. And yes, had been like that since Tuesday.
Anyone hear about the Quicktime 7.2 patch yesterday, that, in some cases, breaks PPC apps running on Intel Macs?
Can we paint the lemmings rainbow color now? Or do they have to be all shiny and white for correct Macitude?
That's not a web browser (referring to IE), that's The Home Page. And several users a week will call in and say The home page is broke! or The home page is messed up! It's missing my links.
In most cases, they fugged up their IE tool bars.
I hate my users.
Sure there is; Speaker of the House (has to resign and become president, though).
Now, if you mean that with the VP out of the way, there's no clear succession by people in his party, yeah, you have a point.
Man, my daughter (6 yr old) doesn't like Monsters, but Shrek 1; Aaaaugh!
Can we clone a modern elephant from a dead carcass that's only one year old?
