That may be true for the cable company, but both the insurance (talking home/auto here, not medical) and cell phone carriers do indeed use it to perform credit checks.
Conversion from ePub to Mobipocket is trivial but lossy - it doesn't support anywhere near as much as ePub does in terms of styling, etc (a limited subset of HTML 3.2 versus all of XHTML 1.1 and a good chunk of CSS 2.0). So while converting back can be done, it'll look like crap compared to something that was in ePub from the start.
B&N doesn't quite get it—they can read everybody else's books, but nobody else can read theirs because they added a new optional DRM wrinkle. (In the end, the B&N way is better - books aren't tied to an account, they're encrypted with name/credit card #, so you can read them on unlimited devices. But while a handful of iOS apps support the B&N DRM (including Bluefire Reader), there's no hardware device support yet besides the nook.)
The part they don't understand is that, even though you've been arrested with the phone on you, it's still an "unreasonable... seizure" of your effects. Their view is that it's not unreasonable once you're already under arrest.
Traditionally, how have the contents of wallets, etc. been considered? Because a phone is in much the same situation...
I may not use those others, but at least they benefit the community as a whole. Social Security and Medicare only benefit people who weren't bothered to help themselves.
I want one or the other; I don't see the need for both. My preference is to be able to exempt myself (specifically because I don't expect to live past 2040), but I'd settle for a guaranteed payout if I couldn't have that.
Unfortunately, my Congresscritter right now is proud of his & his father's work supporting Social Insecurity and Medicare. I just hope he hurries up and dies, since voting him out doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.
People who pay into SSI have zero equity or ownership stake in the fund and are entitled to no money back. Who gets money out of the fund, and how much, is completely a regime decision and can be changed by law.
We may technically have no equity or ownership stake in the fund. Given that we aren't allowed to exempt ourselves from participation, though, we or our estates are sure as hell entitled to our money back... We just probably won't get it.
Well, I can't guarantee that the PDFs I've had problems with are well-formed. But since they're from outside sources, not much I can do about them besides use a renderer that works (Acrobat) instead of one that doesn't (Preview).:)
I can't say that I've noticed that - it's always been fine in Acrobat. Then again, in those cases I've gone back to Acrobat on Windows, rather than installing Adobe Reader on my OS X machine, which might explain it...
Preview has a nasty habit of not displaying the PDF correctly, though. I'd rather slow-and-correct than fast-but-graphic-elements-get-randomly-shifted-on-the-page-or-dropped-entirely.
If a court order can lead to the taking of such samples, then no, they're not covered under the right against self-incrimination. They're simply covered under the right against undue search and seizure.
I find this hard to condemn without knowing more about the commercial. Was it straightforward shots of Apple products, or were there scantily-clad females like in most commercials?
That is what they are supposed to do.
In my personal experience, they push for the benefits of the union management, and don't give a flying fuck about the workers.
For the second digit: 8 and 9 for enthusiasts applied to the 5000 series. For the 6000 series, only the 9s are for enthusiasts, and the 8s are mainstream now.
Your argument is non-sensical. The first three iPhone models did have lower resolutions than the Wii—but since they have to push less pixels, and have higher computing power, they're able to use more power per pixel than the Wii can.
And the iPhone 4 not only increases the computing power again, but has a higher output resolution than the Wii does, so even if you argument did make sense it'd be wrong.:)

Okay, so they're also using it as an identifier. But for me (and others in store at the time) T-Mobile ran a credit check at initial signup.
That's great for everybody born on/after 25 June 2011. That doesn't do jack shit for the millions of people who already have vulnerable SSNs.

And that's stopped Congress... when?

Blackberry has a huge install base. But how are they doing on new handset sales? I thought that those were pretty much in the gutter...

Many people in 1776 would have said the same thing. Look how that turned out.
Now, I freely admit I didn't try Linux on this machine... (Gaming machine) Perhaps it wouldn't work either... Who knows...
Wireless card in Linux? Nope, odds are that it wouldn't work either. :)

Borders, at least, is willing to have items shipped to your home for free if they weren't in stock at the store.

No damage was done by the tenant's purchases. The government lighting the place on fire is where the damage will come from.

Creating an extra digital copy of something, as in pirating, does not impede anybody's access to the original.
Hijacking someone's domain does deprive the owner of access to the original, which certainly qualifies as "harm" in my book.
"Signature required" seems to be up to the shipper, not the shipping service.
