That aside, isn't this patent a good thing? It means that only Amazon's products will be crippled with advertising inserted in this manner.
So - who's the target of that patent? What company is offering old books without any fees, getting their revenues from advertisement instead?
If Google ever gets a deal with copyright owners, where you can read material for "free", with context ads at the end of chapters or every so often, Amazon is going to send out their lawyers, just like they did with their one-click patent.
And yes, users might not accept text ads in literature. But their is a huge non-fiction market.
.. it's the Truth.
Cult is for crazy people. People, who think they are so much better than everybody else
while at the same time everyone shakes their head about them.
People in a cult can't go to a party without changing the subject and trtying to convert you.
Danes with intercontinental-rocket-capabilities are indeed something that made me worried. But then I learned that it might be just the lack of women that makes Danes angry.
So, if you're female and single: do your part for world peace and spent some time in Denmark.
It could be used for sea rescue missions, to get a rescue team on board in heavy sea.
(Or if one wants to inva.. ehh visit England to make it up the cliffs od Dover)
With planets that close we could populate them.
-Just as THEY did, when they found earth.
To think we could follow in THEIR footsteps, that would be so cool! (Except for the having sex with monkeys part of course.)
No, no, no. Buy Yahoo. You're already on the same page regarding human rights in China. Great merger.
New company motto: Be evil.
And while you are at it- see how Apple has all the Apple-stores?
Right, there are no Microsoft stores.
So, what about that? Well, K-Mart might be for sale soon again.
You apparently never thought about security! Passwords are either kept under the keyboard, the mouse pad, or if you want to make it really secure you stick the postit note under the table.
That's the problem with all standardized tests. Instead of testing the actual subject, the tests check for certain "markers" that are correlated to skills in the subject area. People with good English skills most likely have a larger vocabulary than people with poor English, people good at math might be able to solve weird math puzzles in short time...
You get the picture.
What happens next, is that people are getting trained for the markers. Especially bad, if this replaces learning the original subject. Learning stupid word lists doesn't replace writing and reading; and cramming past tests instead of trying to understand it might be the best way to deal with these tests, but you certainly don't get anything out of it.
Computer graded essays make this situation even worse, the content doesn't matter anymore, as long as the essay sounds intelligent.
Eventually the truth had to come out. Sadly, far too often people have their names attached to inventions or research someone else did.
The whole linux thing is just one of many false claims scam artists like Linus T. or Albert E. - to name another one - put forward.
For example: Through painstakingly accurate research I found out that one of the vital parts of the so-called "theory of relativity", the Lorentz-transformation, was not Einstein's idea after all but stolen from another physicist, whose name I unfortunatly forgot.

The whole head-line is of course indicative of the way you "people" see the world: "Mega-colony". It's "world peace", for queen's sake!
I, for one, not only welcome our new insect overlords, but want to assure you that I have been on your side all along.
He probably just said "Scheißminikistenprozessorendreck", which is really much friendlier.
"Whoever uses Wikipedia as a source without checking the references, might as well trust the Irish"
- Linux clearly isn't a cult.
But: It is small and might be useful for retrofitting a projector.

He invented the travelling salesman.
In Wisconsin, 18-year-olds take early morning joy rides on ice sheets.
That's what you get when you put a cow on your state quarter.

"The US kids rated 28th of 40 (so in the bottom third)"
Bunch of liberal propaganda, 40 doesn't even divide by three.
"Internet Explorer users were more than four times as likely to click on ads than Firefox users were."
Even without adblock, Internet-explorer-users are just more likely to click on anything.

Linux: Haven't you hurd yet?
Einstein: Does it matter?
