The solution is outlined in TFA. Load your books onto the SD card. Use the file manager to copy a title into device internal storage. Repeat for each book that you want to simultaneously save your place in.
The review author says this is too much work.
It says may not. As in you might or might not. Probably some card issuers will do it properly and some won't - assuming that GW is transmitting the appropriate Merchant Category Code for transactions passing through to your card issuer. They already pass through a tweaked version of the merchant name so a purchase at McDonalds shows upon my statement as GOOGNFC*MCDONALDS so I expect the MCC is also passed thru. With the right MCC you'll get bonus points for restaurants or grocery stores or whatever your card provides.
Not to mention they are supposed to be connected but if you don't have reception or there is an interruption to cell service you can't pay.
With Google Wallet you need a connection to periodically (15 minutes, 24 hours, infinity) enter the PIN but other than that you don't need a connection to make a purchase. I have my PIN timeout set to 24 hours and I just make sure it's unlocked before I go somewhere where I might use it.
With a connection I get an alert when the transaction goes through (as soon as I get a connection if I don't have one at the time) and a later email verification of the payment.
You misunderstood me. Just open the breaker. You'll still have a customer charge of $18/month or so but it seems to me that the trouble starts when you tell the electric company that you don't want to be a customer. Unless you're trying to tell me that there's a legal consequence to having zero consumption on your power bill.
I don't know where you buy your electric power but here (PA) the choices I can make for electric supply have a wide price range. I can choose cheap, in which case my electricity is likely to come from coal-powered plants, or I can choose green (wind/solar/biomass) in which case I pay a higher rate. Specifically, my power choices range from 6.91 cents/kwh to 13 cents/kwh on fixed-price contracts. http://www.papowerswitch.com/s...
I'm also not "forced" to select - if I don't choose I end up buying from Met-Ed, the distributing utility.
I agree. 2 or 3 years ago the local Redboxes raised their first night fee to $2. Then the Blockbuster Express kiosks came to town and the rate hike was rescinded.
The debit card fee structure was changed to make it less expensive for larger transactions but more expensive for smaller transactions (e.g., those on the order of a dollar or so). This was discussed earlier.
Except you obviously missed the section labeled "Features" in which it says Autonomous Detection/Tracking/Targeting and Manual/Autonomous Firing with Safety
I'm not seeing that in the article or in the poster. The DODAAM website is slashdotted right now, but if it says that I'd be suspecting a bad translation. There's nothing in the feature set of this piece of hardware that supports automatic tracking or autonomous firing. Detecting a human size target at some distance only means the optics and camera has a certain minimum resolution.
I've actually done some work on integrating a similar US-designed device onto a semi-autonomous vehicle, so I can read the DODAAM poster with some background.
If you're not flying really fast (a bit over 1000 miles/hr) you'd still run into issues as daylight outran you. At least when flying east the night would be shorter...
The whole notion that some body that is on the other side of the sun from us half the time is protecting us doesn't really work in my mind. It seems that it only works if you imagine the universe is laid out on a line. Put the Sun at zero, the Earth at 3 and Jupiter at 10 and then anything heading your way from >11 has to get past Jupiter first. In reality we can't even rely on foreign objects coming in along the ecliptic.
Well, if you RTFA, one could infer that referring to the garage as the Zaccari Memorial Parking Garage could be construed as threatening to university president Zaccari. It's wasn't just the Project Spotlight link.
50,000 votes is the absurd example; here's another
A voting precinct has 1000 voters. At fine minutes to closing time 500 have voted. A timestamp precludes a corrupt precinct boss from entering a couple hundred votes for his chosen candidate in the final minutes, or at least provides evidence that the polling place became very efficient right at the end there.
Probable cause is the obvious to all reality that someone has been or is most likely going to be injured at any moment as a result of the behavior of the party being arrested.
Debunked. The VOIP, Inc. deal is just a routine termination agreement. Vonage has 30 or so of these in effect at any time. No effect on the Verizon pickle, unfortunately.

Telemarketers are allowed to call your cell phone but they're not allowed to use automatic dialers (the kind that transfer you to an agent after you've answered) to call your cell phone. Since just about all telemarketers use automatic dialers this effectively kills telemarkting to cell phones.
1) incoming calls don't come out the the 500 bucket.
2) calls to toll free numbers don't come out of the 500 bucket.
3) calls to Vonage customers don't come out of the 500 bucket.
It's harder to burn through 500 Vonage minutes than one would think.
Slashdot Mirror
The Three has LTE Band 12. If that ends up working well with T-Mobile I might be convinced to upgrade from my One in the next year.
Yes, that's where it get its data. There's a link that is supposed to let you opt out: http://www.truecaller.com/unli...

And my card details are never provided to the merchant with Google Wallet.

Without a smartphone, it seems that you'd get by with a single credit card, a driver's license; and about $20 in cash.

It may be illegal to be off-grid but there's no law against opening the main house breaker.

Not to mention Budweiser. Google "Beechwood aged."
