My nearest branch for the past 15 years has been 3 hours and one state away. In that entire time, I've had to make only a handful of visits to an actual branch, mostly to pick up a check to give to a car dealer. My mortgage is through a local credit union, but my paycheck is direct deposit, I have checks and debit cards to pay bills, and online and telephone service for when I need to talk to someone.
Not really. Here's the first few headers for the articles that Bing found:

Because when you buy a $0 3GS, you're agreeing to two years of service at a specific price.
When you buy a Kindle, there's no guarantee that you'll buy books from Amazon. There's a large number of free books available in the Kindle store, you can now borrow books from your local library, and you can generate (or convert) your own books if you like.
If the Kindle is being sold at a price below its manufacture cost, Amazon is making a bet that you'll go and buy books and games for your Kindle. Thus they really are selling it at a loss.
That actually isn't that bad, given that the cost of an employee is way more than what their salary is (sick time, vacation time, health insurance, retirement, other benefits, etc.) all add up.
I'd be more concerned if it was 5-6x as much. 2x is a relative steal.
At the same time, if the feds only need someone for a few months for a specific project, it's a lot cheaper to bring in a consultant for the time needed than hire someone and have them working for you way too long.
Got the first three volumes as a HS graduation present from my parents. Don't use it as much as I should, but that's because I'm not a programmer anymore.
The default that the Tea Party (in particular) were advocating was on existing debt, not new debt. You know, debt that was already authorized by law in previous debt increases.
(The argument could be made that since Congress approved the budget, the implicitly gave authority to borrow to make up the difference).
The major credit agencies should have cut when major factions of the Republican party started openly advocating a default. In violation of the 14th amendment, Section 4.
I agree with the DocBook recommendation. I was writing a lot of DocBook back in 2000/2001 and it would output to just about any format, including PDF and a few of the ebook formats that were available at the time (plucker? among others).
The thing that most people (including the original) is separating content from presentation. HTML tried to do this and failed miserably. When you start thinking about things like layout while writing, you're spending more time trying to make it look good rather than actually be good. Especially in the publishing industry, there's people that can do the layout for you and DocBook makes the layout portion quite easy even if you have widely varying output types.
Take a look at what the Linux Documentation Project was able to do.
Not all 900k servers are being used for memcached. You will need higher speed CPUs for crawling, operating all the back-end Google services, transcription, etc.
Hard to say. We were already moving to blade servers when we started the expansion. With the previous chassis servers with 90W CPUs, we'd have to get a rack rated at 30KW rather than the standard 20. With the low power CPUs, we can easily fit in a 20KW rack. Our data center folk (who really know the numbers) started to panic when we had a 20KW rack 1/2 full of 1U systems.
We've moved from 1U systems with 90-125W systems to blade enclosures with 60W CPUs and also getting 4 or 6 cores per physical CPU rather than 1 or 2. While our HPC cluster core count has increased by a factor of 4 (allowing researchers to do more work), the amount of energy and floor space required did not increase that much at all.
What if I had a LCD panel over my license plate...
During normal driving operation, it's off and thus the license plate is visible. But if I park in a private driveway or parking lot, I switch it on and thus obscure the plate. You probably couldn't use it when parking on a public street, but if on private property, it could be an effective block.

If it's like streaming movies benefit of Prime, only the primary account holder can use it. I only have one Kindle, so I'm unable to test this.

Maybe they're hosting multiple e-mail domains from the same site? (I do).

Still, only 2x isn't that bad.

The insurrection part is at the end and says things they won't pay for. The first sentence is quite clear.
You should read a bit more closely.

If the amount that's coming in increases and the amount you're sending out decreases, that's a cut in your deficit.
Too bad the increases in income are only due to inflation, but the amount going out doesn't rise as fast as inflation.
False analogy is false.
They can only delete it if they can connect to your device. Turn off wifi or 3G and you're set.
I've never used the PC port, so I don't know how that works.
No one can remotely delete it any more than any other file on your computer
Given you can copy the .amz file to your local system and save it (thus preventing Amazon from deleting it), this doesn't sound like much of a problem.
