I challenge a million monkeys to retrieve my wallet.dat file for the litecoin mining I did two years ago when the network went live(was getting at least block a minute for the first few hours as the difficulty ramped up.) I'll pay $50,000 for it, as long as all the litecoins remain attached.
Warning: only one copy existed, and it was on an encrypted hard drive with a 27 character key, and said hard drive was later reformatted and re-encrypted with a different key. (at the time litecoins were next to worthless so I had 'better' uses for the drive)
Sure, battery life in a ebook reader is finite, but it last literally weeks. Unless you are shipwrecked in a deserted island, thats a non-issue for most of us.
Don't forget solar chargers for low-powered usb devices are in the ~$40 range, last I checked, in case you want to take your whole library on a cross-country camping trip or whatever.:)
I replaced it with a paperwhite kindle a few months ago because I wanted a backlight
Joke's on you, you got a frontlight!:P
Personally I read my books on 4 different devices... a laptop, galaxy s2, nexus 7, and a kindle paperwhite. It's very rare I'm not within 10ft of one of these.
Only problem with keeping them in a car is they tend to be alive.
If you're going to use reusable bags, please wash them.
BTW, what the heck happened to paper bags? Those decompose pretty quick.
LGuk was a scary place until the joys of PBAoE. We'd claim everything from Lord to Frenzy with one group(and manage to hold it all)... pissed off a fair number of folks.:D
How about breaking in to PoFear only to have your whole raid wipe... and begging another guild to rescue you before your corpses rotted?
... seriously. There are so many MMOs now you really expect a single answer from/. that will make up your mind? Go do free trials, read some reviews. Sign up for some betas. I've played probably 20 or so MMOs since I first played Everquest in 1999 and they've all had upsides and downsides.
How the hell did 'nuclear' get in that sentence? Heck a court -just- lifted a 750m a year tax they've been putting on nuclear for a nuclear waste storage facility that was never built.

How many Nissan Leafs does it take to power an office building? The answer, it turns out, is six.
cut peak-hour electricity use by 2 percent
So the answer, it turns out, is actually 300.
Re: the summary
Maybe it's because of how I have my settings, but the summary shows up as one big giant block of text. How is this readable?
There is a thing as a paragraph tag. Did not read.
WHAT THE FUCK. I don't normally give useless responses.. but WHAT THE FUCK. PATENT REFORM NOW.
Personally, I use Kerbal Space Program to design my re-entry modules.

Go!
More fun to grab an Arduino and a small alphanumeric LCD to read out statuses to you, I say. :P
Handy that you can sell directly to a coinbase wallet and cash out immediately to your bank account, eh?
I understand perfectly well. Didn't stop me from selling off all the btc I had sitting around a couple days ago.
Yeah, btc took a momentary dive, and people jumped on it and it shot right back up above $1k. This all happened while I was asleep so *shrug*
Hence, 'about'. :)
not everybody will be in the top 1%
In fact, I'd be willing to say about 1% of people will be in the top 1%
Most people realize now that they can get all their computing needs from a phone.
Who are 'most people'? How many households do you know of that don't own a desktop or laptop, but have smartphones?
But what will I do with the 600 or so micro USB cables I currently own?

Does a TV tray next to my comptuer desk count?

Seems to me a Faraday cage around the server room would be easier.
Which means a starter meal needs to be carried, and one that digests quicly enough to allow you to eat the rest of the meal.
So, they can eat a chocolate bar before they eat their hamburger.
Better statistics would compare cars 1-year-old or less, in the same price range, to Teslas.
