Right now, ebooks are price fixed. You can EASILY (as in 100% of the time) find new paperbacks for much cheaper at Barnes and Nobel and Borders (as well as Amazon) and cheaper even still at Wal-Mart.
Couple that with the outlay of the reader and ebooks just really don't make much sense from a purely cost perspective.
Now, ereaders are pretty great and they do a lot of cool things. If those reasons compel you to buy an ereader and ebooks, then by all means jump right in. But sticking with paperback books in cheaper in EVERY case. (except for the free ereader books, of course.)
I used to own Borders stock and sold it about 5 years ago.
We go to a lot of bookstores and just yesterday I started reconsidering buying stock in Borders again.
All of the stores I've visited lately (Florida, Washington DC, and North Carolina) have been really busy and a lot of people purchasing.
So Ms. Langley claims to be in Grayson's district, but she isn't?
Seems pretty clear to me.

It's all about exposure.
Is it really worth exposing your company to a potential lawsuit over 200 lines of code?
Rewrite it, teach your engineers to avoid problems, and move on.
This explains a lot.
A couple of times recently on Allmusic.com, I've had some spyware-malware.com (or some such thing) make a pop-up box on me. I was very confused as to why a legit site like allmusic would have that happen.
Sites need to start being concerned about this kind of thing or they're going to start losing traffic.
Gifted children need just as much additional time as challenged children in order for that child to develop their gifts.
The way NCLB works is this... if a kid meets the (mediocre) criteria, then the teacher no longer has to work that kid. The teachers under NCLB need to devote their time to other children.
As a result, gifted kids don't get that additional instruction and, in turn, their gifts diminish.
So we're spending all this time on kids who, in all honesty, are going to be the ones who are going to be working on your car, selling you a shirt at Banana Republic, or offering to refill your drink at Applebee's.
And at the same time, our brightest kids don't get the development they need.
NCLB is a bane to gifted children. It results in mediocrity.
Is it really news that contractors are considered nothing more than replaceable parts?
Whenever we've staffed programs with contractors, it's always been understood (by my company and the contractors) that they are essentially mercenaries and not really part of our company and culture. (If they WANTED to be part of our (or any) company and culture, they wouldn't be contractors, right?)
When things (i.e., money) get tight, who's the first to go? The contractors, of course. No surprises to anyone. We're not going to lay off our valuable employees.
This seems like a ridiculous article/lawsuit.
I have a patent on using one's index finger to point to an object, in an effort to draw the audience's attention to that object.
So if you're going to point, use another finger.
Otherwise, send me some bucks.
Next project - using one's tongue to moisten postage stamps.

So somebody finally figured out what to do with a philosophy degree?

I guess they'll have to buy a new player.
Duh!

Zephram Cochran called. He's not buying it.
Google Checkout is the conduit to the Devil's soul.
Inclusion in some types of government projects is the primary issue. There are many hoops to jump through.

All you low-testosterone hairy "men" can just kiss my hairless butt.
I've got ALL the testosterone - and the ladies LOVE IT.
Enjoy brushing your mane, nancy boys. Bwahahahaha!
Turkish Hackers attacked my website. Can you make them stop?
I'm going to have to retire my "Bad Mother Fucker" wallet for one of these.

then my website will make me a gibillionair! My picture is all over it!
Conservatives feel that Spore will open the way to fully immersing our youth into the Intelligent Design movement.
If this were IE doing this, we'd be up in arms. But instead, it's Firefox and people are bending over backwards to justify and condone this.
You can have it. Can't get chicks with it.

Excuse me while I clean the coffee of my screen.
MTG = "cheap" card game. Yeah, right.
Isn't this how V-GER got started?
