For one, I wish they handled 4k drives better. Last time I installed zfs on a 4k drive it was a nightmare configuration mess. That particular task should be second nature.

I've been diagnosed and followed by a neurologist for migraines and I'm current on my vision Rx. It's not my glasses nor my wisdom teeth (inoperable, btw), sadly.
I'm laughing so hard. I've worn glasses since I was in fifth grade, and they've never once "hindered" my hairline. There's been mild irritation here and there, but nothing I'd pay thousands nor even hundreds of dollars to allay.
Now the migraines I've suffered...those I'd pay thousands to get rid of permanently.
I would agree with you. But I don't. If everything's recorded then effectively nothing's recorded. Sure, all those cameras might be able to pin point exactly where you are at any given moment...but who cares to find out? Who's going to expend all the resources (cpu cycles, MONEY) to track you down? It'd be unfeasible to do that for everyone so only select few people could even be potential targets. And you're not one of those people. Sorry, but you're just not special enough to warrant searching through thousands and thousands of hours of video to find.
Thanks! I see what you mean. From the scale of the reader, that is a pretty difficult zoom to read. Since zooming PDFs is such a huge pain on ebooks, the whole thing's not likely to work very well.
I really do just have to buy a Kindle DX if I want pdfs!
Do you have any particular pages you'd like me to take a photo of? I tried snapping a few with my iPhone, but my hands were shaking too much, so I need to break out the real camera and tripod.
Actually, yes, I would appreciate seeing page 4 (numbered 200 in the pdf), if it's not too much trouble.
It sounds much like the experience I've had with my current Kobo. I can only read PDFs in landscape mode, and it's only good for "in a pinch". I bet that experience may be better, but it's definitely miles off from what I'm hoping for.
Thank you so much for the very detailed review!! People like you are what make/. worth it!
Dude, nice. I appreciate that! (I, too, have an account on dslr!)
Can you tell me if the increased dpi/resolution makes reading PDFs any better? Like if I increase the resolution on my laptop I can display more information in the same area.
I read PDFs and epubs on my kobo often. It kind of sucks for PDFs, but it is usable and I've read plenty of PDFs that way. The navigation could be improved and the size of the reader limits reading PDFs to landscape mode, which makes about one paragraph legible at a time.
I think I'd buy that if I knew the PDF problem was better handled...
I know there's another site, can't remember the name, that let's you subscribe to all the ebooks you can read. If I were Kobo, I'd work something similar out. I'd give my ereaders free or severely discounted access to an online repo of ebooks "for rent". Also, make the damn things bigger.
If they're going to say they're specializing, then they have to be the best in town.
An FRC team takes many resources. The community and school have to be involved, and they really need a good mentor. I don't mean a teacher or engineer that's just going to do all the work for the team. I mean a volunteer that's willing to devote 20-40 hrs per week to students.
I was a rookie judge at one of the FRC events this year. The whole experience was inspiring. The teams function much like non-profit organizations with the business of designing robots to achieve that year's challenge. They take in funds and output competent students and competitive robots. It's amazing to see how involved some of their outreach is. Some teams setup mini competitions for their local elementary or middle schools. Not to forget all the electrical, mechanical, software, general, and team skills the students learn along the way.

I've tried both the newest PC-BSD and bsdinstall installers...and they leave a lot to be desired. :/
Can't wait for the yVi release

That would be a lovely way to work.
That's a cool idea...but you probably want to log numbers of connections and what IPs they're from just for basic intrusion detection and prevention.
Google Glass actually _helps_ here. If you were wearing one then you can show them exactly where you were at that time....
This is essentially "counter" surveillance that can prove all sorts of stuff about your innocence.
Have you seen all of the videos of Russion car dashcams? Do you know why they have those? To _protect_ themselves from the police (and other drivers).
The principle is the same here...
You need some mod points

Looks like we just /.ed LinuxGizmos.com
You wont get Parkinson's because you'll be dead before it could form.

It's very similar to that. There's that other show, now...forget the name.
Nice outreach.
Changing the OS on 100 machines is a task that a group of professionals can do relatively quickly.
Changing the OS that 100 users use on a daily basis, without getting 100 angry phone calls (per day), is much more difficult.
Or any sort of threat other than cash.
Yep, but instead the company involve just pays a fine. That's the only way companies pay for crimes...with dollars.
Even if you're BP and you severely damage one of the world's oceans and kill an uncountable amount of wildlife and destroy whole ecosystems.

Could I get you to load this on it, and see how it looks?
