Unless they are DRM-free (which I highly doubt in this case), ALL eBooks are rentals. Some timeout after 30 days, others timeout when your eReader breaks, others timeout when the publisher goes out of business or changes their DRM format, but they all timeout eventually if you have no way to migrate them to an open format.
Edison carried out a campaign to discourage the use[13] of alternating current, including spreading disinformation on fatal AC accidents, publicly killing animals, and lobbying against the use of AC in state legislatures. Edison directed his technicians, primarily Arthur Kennelly and Harold P. Brown,[14] to preside over several AC-driven killings of animals, primarily stray cats and dogs but also unwanted cattle and horses. Acting on these directives, they were to demonstrate to the press that alternating current was more dangerous than Edison's system of direct current.[15] He also tried to popularize the term for being electrocuted as being "Westinghoused". Years after DC had lost the "war of the currents," in 1902, his film crew made a movie of the electrocution with high voltage AC, supervised by Edison employees, of Topsy, a Coney Island circus elephant which had recently killed three men.[16]
Edison opposed capital punishment, but his desire to disparage the system of alternating current led to the invention of the electric chair. Harold P. Brown, who was being secretly paid by Edison, built the first electric chair for the state of New York to promote the idea that alternating current was deadlier than DC.[17]
When the chair was first used, on August 6, 1890, the technicians on hand misjudged the voltage needed to kill the condemned prisoner, William Kemmler. The first jolt of electricity was not enough to kill Kemmler, and only left him badly injured. The procedure had to be repeated and a reporter on hand described it as "an awful spectacle, far worse than hanging." George Westinghouse commented: "They would have done better using an axe."[18]
The police seem to have no problem analyzing data to figure out the best places and times for speed traps. It's about time they used the same principles to stop real crimes.
That's the thing: "IF" you are cheating. How about if you ARE NOT cheating and the spouse is jealous to the extent of mental disorder?
Then that person is going to be hell to live with (whether they can legally track you or not) and you're probably better off without them. Why should we let people who have mental disorders limit what the rest of us can legally do? Someone with a mental disorder can buy a baseball bat and beat you over the head with it until you're dead. Does that mean baseball bats should be outlawed?
20 years ago, people who abused the information in those directories (telemarketers, stalkers, T-100s) where relatively rare. As the abuse increased, so did the desire for anonymity. And even back then, there were some who were willing to pay extra to be "unlisted".
In terms of a DNA sequence making an exact copy of itself, yes they are mistakes (that is the very definition of a mutation). Whether that mistake turns out to be beneficial to the organism or not is a separate issue.
I believe that the file is locked while updating. This is only really an issue if you are using Dropbox collaboratively (i.e. two people making changes to the same file at the same time), but even then Dropbox saves older revisions of files SVN-style so you can rollback to a previous version if there are problems.
By the way, if anyone doesn't already have a Dropbox account, if you use my referal link we can both get an extra 250MB of free storage space.
Almost. One pile is resumes with 5 years experience AND a degree. The other pile is the trash can. And when everyone in the first pile turns down their lowball offer, they complain to the government about there being no qualified workers and demand more visas for foreign workers.

With portable devices becoming more and more powerful, convergence of mobile and desktops operating systems is inevitable. Microsoft is moving in this direction also; Windows 8 will look a lot like Windows Mobile. There's increasing little difference between Android and ChromeOS. The question is not whether OSX gets killed; the question is, will whatever replaces it be relatively open like OSX, or locked down like iOS? Will there be room in this brave new world for a generic personal computer that can run multiple operating systems?
To the contrary, if we are created in God's image, and God could create beings with free will, then we should be able to do the same. If AI requires an intelligent designer, isn't that the ultimate proof of a God?
How many people are watching episode 20, season 2 of Rockford Files?
A lot fewer than are watching The King's Speech or Little Fockers (unfortunately). Netflix doesn't has to cache their entire library to save bandwidth. Caching the top 50 or 100 downloads for that week would yield significant savings. Long Tail arguments aside, most people still watch whatever everyone else is watching.
Based on the number of cars I see with "Darwin fish" on them, I'd say your 100 estimate is extremely low. However, that's your belief and I won't try to sway you with proof.
Not just unharmed, some of the worms actually seemed to develop improved abilities after the shuttle crash. One could stretch itself to extreme lengths (though that's not uncommon for worms), another could become transparent. A third could spontaneously burst into flames and a fourth could become a hard rock-like thing. I think it's absolutely fantastic.
Electricity is voluntary too. Get yourself some solar cells and a battery bank and you can use electricity anonymously and not worry about Big Brother knowing what time you take your shower.
I suspect the wording is intended for the general public who believe any new functionality in an existing piece of hardware requires the addition of a "chip". All of the hardware necessary for this system is already on every phone (even low-end feature phones).
Or maybe it just goes without saying that running the current OS on a device that has 1/4 the RAM of the current device is just plain not feasible. At least the 3GS has 1/2 the RAM of the 4.
Where did you get the data on how much RAM each model of iPhone has? I know where you didn't get it; FROM APPLE. You can't expect people to understand why various models have differing capabilities when they don't publish the specs. Also, why would iBooks needs extra RAM when lots of other eBook readers (Stanza, Kindle, Kobo) work find on the original 2G iPhone. Third-party developers want to make their programs work on the largest possible user base, whereas Apple has an incentive to force people to upgrade.

Yes, but "." is relative to the location of the exe file (where the viewer program is located), not the location of the jpg file.

Intellect doesn't make you an intellectual anymore than being an adult makes you an adulterer.

Wish I had mod points today.
What's weird is that the Z-80 was first released in 1976 which actually puts it closer to 1943 (33 years) than to the present (35 years).

It would have to be a custom designed hub. A standard powered hub supplies power to the USB client devices, not the host device.
You do know that the current Wii already has built in WiFi right?

It's also a good distraction from the iPhone location tracking scandal.
