Wrong. I buy Chromebooks for $176 each. I have a cart that's 5 years old and still going strong. We have hundreds and hundreds of them. Best to know what you're talking about before, you know, *talking* about it.
"The original price was just $50, and Valve is basically giving them away right now." Current price? $49.99. So basically giving them away compared to original price...
I've been in IT for 21 years. One of the very first things I learned was "FUCK ADOBE". Over the years I've learned similar lessons such as "FUCK APPLE," and "FUCK QUICKBOOKS."
Hmmm, even my *brand new* Chromebooks are too old to run Android apps without "migrating user profile data to Android N's new filesystem." Not sure I have time to engage that particular tar-baby...

Not paradox. Irony. It's hard to find accurate examples of irony these days, but this is surely one. And I never said it was Amazon's mission/goal/intent. I also didn't make a judgement. Just stated a fact. If it wasn't Amazon that killed brick-and-mortar bookstores it would have been something else, and I wouldn't have ascribed evil intent to that something else, either.
I know this doesn't make it right to anyone but me, but I've been torrenting audiobooks and ebooks left and right OF TITLES I'VE ALREADY PAID FOR AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE. I have a long commute now, hence the desire for audio rereads of old favorites. I also do ALL of my reading on my Kindle app now -- I feel no guilt about obtaining the content I paid for on paper in different formats. I know, I'm a monster, right?
Back in my day, we didn't ARREST punks for printin' nasty things about the womenfolk. We chased them down, surrounded them, knocked them over, and kicked them until their ears bled. And we liked it! We LOVED it!
There really should be a "took the exact words out of my mouth" mod. Twice as much cardboard, probably plastic coated or something to make it more durable (and less recyclable) and it will all go into the dumpster as soon as the novelty wears off. This is not an attempt at being "green." This is a stunt that has the opposite of its perceived effect.
Slashdot Mirror
Another negative story about Apple seemingly every day... Can't say it makes me sad. We should start a gofundme for all the affected hipsters though.
You think presidents get to overturn supreme court decisions? Good grief.
An internet lawyer who cannot spell "perjure"? Delicious!

Thanks! Tracking down the TPB domain that's working on any particular day has become a real pain!
I'm curious - does Slashdot prohibit naming the thing that "Harbor for Renegade Sailors" refers to? Or were you just making a joke?
I've been battling this all morning -- took a break to read some Slashdot. :-) I guess I can stop battling it now!
** I have not looked to make sure I was commenting on the intended story.
I too was thrown by the 1 hour window. How often outside of sleepy time does one's phone remain unlocked for an entire hour?
That's more like it! Thanks.

"Corel... Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time."

Exactly.

The website that killed brick-and-mortar bookstores is branching out... into brick-and-mortar bookstores.
Title refers to "World's First Ship Tunnel" -- not *Norway's* first ship tunnel. I just meant that Captain Nemo would beg to differ.
Not a single Jules Verne reference?!?!?!?

I need to remove my "Gone January 20th, 2013" with the Obama logo for the "o" bumper sticker from my bumper... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B00228KSPU/ref=dp_image_z_0?ie=UTF8&n=15684181&s=automotive

"people being launched using this.. Just wait."
I was thinking the same thing..but that they could kill two birds with one stone so to speak.
Get an illegal to hold the drugs and shoot them BOTH over the fence at the same time!!!
Now...if we just had our sharpshooters ready it would be like shooting MX skeet.
"PULL".....bang....[sombrero goes spinning up in the air]
Ah, Cayenne8. I have missed you, sir! (I've been gone -- don't know about you). PULL!
