I think there is a big difference between text that you would want to take notes along side of the text and those books that are a more casual read.
For note taking, e-readers have still not perfected the ease of having a pen and being about to write directly on on in the margins of text. Print books still excel there.
But for casual reading, a device like a kindle paper-white is better in almost all regards. Reading at night off of its adjustable lit screen is perfect for not keeping you awake if you are trying to get to sleep. 90% of people that I have suggested one to have enjoyed it.
Are we really so ok with robbing people at gunpoint that we say this is not a big deal?
Obviously a BB gun is not as dangerous as a real pistol, but the reason he used it and not a more deadly knife is because many BB guns look real enough when you are being robbed and don't want to be shot.
If my phone is stolen and I activate the "kill switch" can a person still restore the phone and use their own sim card, or is the "kill" all the way down to preventing a DFU restore?
The HR rule of thumb for most large companies is an employee cost twice what his salary would be. I.E. it would cost the government $200k/year for each $100k/year salaried employee.
Most of the time, it is an automated message saying that the call may be recorded from their side. Can I just respond back to the automated message that the call may be recorded from my side?
Considering most of our job is writing, I'm amazed at how poorly most people understand Microsoft word. I am not an expert, but if you don't even know what style sheets are or how to insert a cross reference, you are creating SO much more work for yourself as you try to "clean-up" the document later.
But as attorneys who are getting paid by the hour, there can be short term benefit (more billable hours) to this inefficiency.
Oh thank god. All this time I was thinking that no storage device is 100% reliable and here you come along and shatter that view. Thank you David_Hart for assuring me that SD cards are 100% reliable and never experience data loss. I am switching to SD cards for all of my backups from now on; both at home and at work! I am sure my boss will love how much money I saved him by switching from costly tape and off site providers to simple SD cards. THANK YOU!
Don't be a tool.
No one is saying you keep your one copy of the nuclear launch codes on a SD card. He is saying they have become relatively inexpensive removable storage and that most phone makers outside of apple have acknowledged this.

Maybe it already has exploded.

Four years sounds fair to me.
Why? Because of an error? Just send your apology mailings, take your black eye and move on.
They are monitored.

At least they will all be fusion powered by then.

If you don't connect it to the internet, that is pretty much all it is (plus the speakers), right?
I received a business degree at a large state school in 2000.
A computer language counted as a foreign language in this program. Better yet, statistics counted as a computer language.
Therefore by just taking your core statistics classes, you covered your foreign language requirement for a business degree.
I still don't know how I got away with that one.
Except where they pass out the wrong paper ballots. Mistakes can happen in a number of ways.
People keep thinking of the disadvantages of the phone, but think of the advantages.
No checking in.
An email confirms your room number and you just go straight to the room.
1. Talk bad about our boss' clients in public
2. Get fired.
This is not a first amendment issue.
What a shocker..
I've had lunch there, and it is pretty surreal how they have this normal mall food court in the middle of one of the most secure places on the planet.
But I guess everyone needs a slice from Shapiro pizza now and again.
A cheap solution to avoid catastrophic loss of one of a kind, but not valuable, data/
I text all of the time at stop lights, and I don't feel the least bit bad about it.
How else am I supposed to watch HBO?
What resolution do we think that government satellites can do?
Most of the time, it is an automated message saying that the call may be recorded from their side. Can I just respond back to the automated message that the call may be recorded from my side?
Has been pretty solid for about a year now. Only requiring one or two reboots over that time, and I think that had to do more with the cable modem.
As an attorney, I totally understand this.

I think drug dealers would love driverless cars. No one to arrest. You could say the "owner", but much harder to prove.
maybe some, but they ran fiber right to my room in a 100 person apt building in NYC in about 2010.
