>That is why we will always have paper books.
Love for books is something different than the love for reading books.
I love my bookcollection. I buy books regularly. But I prefer reading books on my e-book.
No I don't use a different login each time. I do use a different password everytime. And I do use a different emailaddress. Each time. My concern is that GP poster uses the same login AND password for different sites.
An IQ test is very good at measuring how well you do IQ tests.
A bushman from Papua - New Guinea wouldn't be able to take an IQ test. Is he therefore less intelligent than you are?
I don't think gp post doesn't believe in cognitive abilities, he / she just questions the objective measurement of it.
You could argue the other way round. A computer capable of running Vista, will run Vista, right? And Vista Ultimate is Vista, right? But Vista Ultimate can not be used. So you can't use Vista on a Vista capable computer. But the sticker says so.
Now, I agree with you that informing the consumers would have been nice. But would they have bought the computer when it said that it was only capable of running the most basic Vista?
I am thirty five years old. The thing is, once you start reading you forget that you are reading from an electronic device. The important thing is that modern ebooks use the electronic paper technology, so it is not back lit. You have to use normal light to be able to read your ebook. But what a joy it is to be actually able to read in broad daylight!
I too am a book freak. I fondle them, smell them, read them, re-read them, stare at them and sometimes on lonely Friday nights I even talk to them. Nothing beats the feeling of a good book. I do, however, also own the Cybook Gen3 eInk reader. This is an amazing piece of hardware. I can read whole books and not notice that I read a digital text. For me the love for books and the love for reading are two separate things. An ebook and a paper book can live together quite happily.
If you want an alternative for Windows, Linux will not be your thing. If you want to do you the same things you do on Windows, Linux might be an option. If you want a good desktop environment that allows you to happily use your computer Linux might be an option. If you want all that for free Linux certainly is an option. If you want a stable OS that has some really good programs and features and is for free, then Windows is not an alternative.
My point is: the reason why you should choose Linux is because you like Linux and what it offers. But it should not because you want an alternative for Windows.

How about this one?
Yes, natural selection had no reason to select for long life spans.
Natural selection has no reason.
but how many people actually keep off-site backups for home use?
I do. Twice a year I backup my pictures, videos and other personal stuff to a harddisk that I store at my parents.

Indeed. If I take half your brain away you make as much sense.

Now, where is my money?
127.0.0.1 had good stuff, though. Mostly pr0n.
Easy one. The WiiII it will be.
Better bandwidth, worse latency.
Indeed. Nobody saw that coming. Google launching its own browser. Who would have thought that!

"the same password I use at half the websites on the internet,"
That doesn't sound very secure to me. I hope that at least you use a different loginname each time?

Now I am confused.
I am interested in this twisted 6 foot tall blond virgins' pubic hair product.

Just you wait a few years and they will be! Now give me my money.

Yeah, a crime is only committed when a judge has ruled! (why am i replying an AC?)

Thanks for the correction, AC. Now please explain what steganography means.

So... what you are saying is not true?
If you want an alternative for Windows, Linux will not be your thing. If you want to do you the same things you do on Windows, Linux might be an option. If you want a good desktop environment that allows you to happily use your computer Linux might be an option. If you want all that for free Linux certainly is an option.
