If you're getting a lot of junk faxes and don't have time for small claims court, you can sic Tom Martino's army of lawyers on them. The details are on a site he set up for just this purpose at faxwars.com.
Tom is a consumer advocate who has a radio program during the day (although some stations, such as KEX tape-delay the program to the evenings). The show's web site is troubleshooter.com.
A properly created and tagged PDF file can reflow. In fact, I can view PDFs rather easily on my Palm III using Adobe Reader for PalmOS 3.0. I can even look at the images (in their 4-color grayscale glory).
If the PDF isn't tagged for accessibility, the Reader for PalmOS also comes with a quick-tag utility. It ain't perfect, but it does a nice job--especially if the PDF is mostly text.
In fact, the difference between PDF and some e-books is mainly the DRM protection.
What if terrorists execute a simultaneous detonation of a dirty bomb in every major US city? What if the Marlins beat the Yankees? What if the sun supernovas tomorrow?
Your problem with activation may be bigger than Adobe, but this topic isn't. Let's not chase non-existant "what if" scenarios, okay?
Adobe lets you activate on two computers. In fact, most Adobe licenses allow you to use their software on a "primary" and a "secondary" computer, as long as you don't use it at the same time on both machines.
Well, the Bible itself is public domain. It's the various translations that are copyrighted. I believe KJV is and has been public domain for a long time.
And even in that situation, the important distinction was that the kid did it "because daddy did this 'on TV'," not because daddy let his son play GTA3:VC. He was mimicking dad, something that any 3-year old does.
So while I agree that it boils down to parenting, the kid's actions had nothing to do with reality/fantasy distinction.
Don't they know that Icarus is an AI developed by Majestic 12? I hope nobody tries to send Daedalus up against it, because everyone knows they'll merge into a super-AI that will join itself with JC Denton and rule the world!

I like being in charge of my own e-mail server. I don't send or receive a large amount of e-mail, and I'm on DSL so I'm online all the time. Sure, there are hosting companies that will give me full control of the server. They also cost way more per month than I'm interested in spending.
The last thing I need is some punk like you telling me "you don't need that port" and blocking port 25.
...He was struggling with the odd wheelbarrow across which he had slung his prize deer. It was a thing full of seams and joins and springs. Though it appeared altogether large enough to contain the kill, it could not, and its inutility was the source of his sobs and curses and rage and despair. And as the unfortunate man shoved and hauled, pushed and pulled his burden, covering the ground by inches, the extent of his rage became apparent. To Michael, observing from the tree, it was terrifying...
Holy run-on sentences, Batman! Robert Stone, get thee an editor!
If you compare the $15-21/mo for 56k vs. $40-50 for DSL, sure it doesn't look that good. However, if you factor in the cost for a second telephone line (say, $20), and add in the cost of dial-up, broadband can actually be less expensive than dial-up.
And really, it is. $15 for dial-up + $15-20 for 2nd telephone line + cost of your time waiting for files to download + cost of electricity used by your PC while downloading files overnight + cost of downtime because you can't download security patches > $40-50 per month for DSL or cable.

Enterprise's opener sounds more like an asthmatic Rod Stewart to me.

And you left off the phrase "via the Internet."

That's funny, because iTunes also supports multiple players and platforms.
And iTunes beats the shit out of Windows Media Player when it comes to content organization.

I'll tell you what they'd do: single-handedly revive the bread market that's starting to suffer because of people starting the Atkins diet.

You're welcome. :)

Or you could just get a Mac and run OSX, which is pretty close to the same thing.

Except USENET is not an efficient manner to distribute binary files. Nor does it make it easy to obtain the newest version of a document.

I don't know what's wrong with your copy of Acrobat, but mine does that rather easily.

Acrobat 6.0 Pro can export to a 5.x compatible PDF that can be worked on by your existing Approval users.

Err, no.

well, that'd surely help the video compression a lot, what with all those black frames. ;)
