I love ebooks and have been reading them for years. I think the real issue is the one-trick-pony readers. I won't pay for or carry something the is for ebooks only and/or incorporates DRM. I am currently using the obscure linux-based Gamepark Holdings GP2X. I have about 500 novels on it. And a bunch of game emulators, Strider, Quake etc. And a bunch of music. And movies like Fear & Loathing and Blade Runner DC right now. And a whole bunch of other stuff besides.
I really wish the publishers would sell me text files for a reasonable price. Another example of business shooting itself in the foot on the web.
I've seen this a couple of times. It's pretty obvious because it's a computer to computer network. I connect and then put ping -f into the terminal. The dumbass always starts looking around.
Well, if typing in the notes is working okay, couldn't you take a picture of the diagram with a digicam? Sure, you'll look insane typing like crazy and shooting pictures, but damn, that shit will be well documented. Plus your prof will feel like a movie star.
Except cancer is not a generic disease. You'll need to figure out how to treat dozens of different types of cancer. Which is why "curing cancer" is a lot harder than it sounds.
I am hearing impaired and I sit in a room full of servers and loud Cisco switches. My hearing aids use digital signal processing to filter backgound noise, it works rather well. Of course, they cost $2,500 each.
I personnally never liked the twiddly-fingered big-haired cock rockers. Kurt's raw guitar playing is much more expressive than complex playing meant to impress other players.
I have a buddy who lives in an apartment building. He has an open WIFI in his apartment. The WAP has pretty good range, and he has several neighbors leeching off of him. So, at random times midway through the evening, he will turn off the WAP or unplug the cable modem for awhile. No one has had the balls to complain (yet) but he has heard someone complain in the elevator about the "free" wireless problems.
I am sure many folks already know this, but I wanted to throw this out there for anyone who has not. Using Image>Mode>Grayscale is not the best method of creating grayscales from color in Pshop. Try using the R, G or B channels in the Channels palette. Each of these grayscale images will have different qualities according to it's spectrum.Or try using the channel mixer with the monochrome setting turned on. No, it won't look as good a film, but it will look better.
Amen, brother. The only people I have seen who actually think ringtones are cool are clueless late 40's/early 50's technoidiots. They can't configure an email client, but they sure can order a new ringtone every week. A loud ringtone in a inappropriate area is the social equivilant of randomly screaming a racist remark.

And how much would shipping be for 2 1/2 tons flown on the space shuttle?

Wow, that's some family you married into. (Checks wallet)

Wait til you see some dick riding around on one in the grocery store, then it doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore.
Plus, pre-brewed, preserved coffee tastes like shit. Wasteful AND shitty-tasting! It's a modern miracle.

I have seen some big catfish, 75 lbs or more. I never saw worms in the flesh, but they are fatty and tough. I would try to eat anything over 20 lbs.

Here at Slashdot, instead of calling people Nazi's, we compare them to SCO.
You have it backwards. You have a pasty, zombie-like complexion due to LACK of maintenance.
One other thing: set your exposure manually. Auto-exposure will be all over the map and make things look odd.
Don't use a projection screen. They are too sparkley due to the glass spheres embedded in the surface. Use a matte white surface for better results.

Sure, bitch, if that's what you want.
I am totally getting trolled here. But thanks for the laugh with that last post, you really outdid yourself.
It's not 300 ppm, it's 375 ppm in 2003. It was 315 ppm in the 50's. And you don't think a 15% increase in 50 years is significant?
