The problem is that all page turns aren't created equally. You'll get markedly less battery life if you use the software to enlarge or shrink the text. Not to mention that you'll get differing amounts of run time depending upon what type of documents you're looking at.
I take it you haven't actually compared the two in any sort of meaningful way. The displays are the same, the build quality on both are really good. But where Nook really shines over Kindle is in the little details like swipe to turn on top of the other sets of buttons, the micro SD card slot and the ability to buy books from pretty much everybody except Amazon. With Amazon being too much of a bitch to offer books in a standard format.
And Kindle 3G isn't free, the policy with that is identical to the one that B&N has over its 3G Nook, the 3G is only free when used to access the respective store and any other use can end with the owner being sent a bill to cover the extra cost.
And how precisely do you propose we tell the difference between a fictional character and one that's been run through a set of photoshop filters? Or is a depiction of something that really happened?
Cases like this sometimes end up as bench trials Since this is a civil matter and one that's pretty complicated it's definitely possible for it to end up as a bench trial.
The typical issue with GMO is the way the studies are done and the lack of controls to ensure that none of the organisms get out into the wild. It's been documented for years now that the test plots have a nasty habit of leaking GM organisms onto surrounding land and for such genes to make their way into surrounding vegetation.
There may well be nothing wrong with GMO products, but as long as there's no care being taken to ensure that they remain where they're intended to, they must not be allowed to continue with research.
Part of it has to do with antibiotics being largely obsolete for all but a few particularly noxious strains of bacteria. The whole business of things like MRSA tend to be greatly overstated by people with no actually understanding of the issues involved.
Phage therapy when I was doing my undergrad I walk almost daily past informational posters from projects that other students had made. The results have been pretty fucking amazing up until this point and there's absolutely no reason to assume that it isn't the solution. The only reason why it hasn't taken over is that the FDA approval process would have to be repeated for each and every strain that was going to be used, even though there's no scientific reason for doing so. The use of similar means on food has been approved in the US for several years now. Treatment
I take it you're not familiar with the term "confirmation bias" the bast majority of what Paul Allen does is never made public because he tends to keep a pretty low profile in general. The things that folks tend to hear about are things like the South Lake Union development that his company has been doing, buying the Seahawks and now this.
Anybody who says that he hasn't done shit but try to take money from them is obviously either a dumbass or a troll. Unfortunately, they're probably not a troll.
Moon rocks are apparently considered national treasure in the US. They needed to set up a sting in order to ensure that they had the rocks so as to verify that they were real and put them back in the collection. The problem is that it could be fraud, but even if the rocks are real the attempted sale would still have been illegal under US law.
Isn't it obvious? The end user has to demonstrate that it's the carriers fault. Sort of like in the past when carriers wouldn't allow you to disable data features on your end. If you wanted to do that you had to have them do it. And same for text messaging, so that they could get a piece of the action whenever somebody sent an unsolicited text to you. Knowing full well that few people would waste their time appealing a 10 cent charge.
That's our solution in America, but to be honest I don't really get it. I can understand not depicting characters that are clearly prepubescent in pornographic situations, but once the characters start looking post-pubescent, I'm not sure what difference it really makes as there's no way of really knowing one way or the other and the description in that dimension isn't going to be particularly influential to the viewers.
Given that there are sites dedicated to those types of photos, I'm guessing never, or at least there's a sufficient that never stop to make it profitable.
I'm not sure whether that's more or less insane than the system in the US. You end up with these bondage cartoons where the characters are consenting to whatever it is because somehow that's better than if cartoons characters weren't consenting.
Plus those characters have to be over 18, rather than not obviously children because that would be child porn even though there's no way of determining it otherwise. I mean seriously, because it's really harmful to society to be ogling characters that could theoretically be mature looking and 16 years old. I get the problem when it's real people, but with cartoon characters I have no idea how one would know the difference.
Doesn't matter. Until Radioshack joins the 21st century and enacts some meaningful policies against discrimination I won't be going back. I get that they're based out of Texas, but still, if they want to sell things in places that actually value human dignity they're going to have to actually enact proper anti-discrimination policies. It's not cool to go into a store and find the salespeople making bigoted comments and find that there is no corporate prohibition on such speech.
My $400 computer from a couple years ago runs games better than my PS3. Granted with good games you get sucked in enough to not notice the comparatively low res graphics and problems with aliasing, but they are definitely there. I added a new video card a month back and the difference is pretty unreal between playing similar games on both machines.
Which means that we don't throw people in prison for insulting the President. Which is probably a good thing otherwise most of the citizens would be in prison. It doesn't mean that it's acceptable behavior or respectful to address him as such.
It's not that malleable. This isn't like Bush who failed to get elected in the standard fashion his first term. President Obama did manage to win the electoral votes necessary to be elected President without having the SCOTUS have to rewrite the constitution.
Referring to him as Mr. is an insult to him and probably motivated on some level by racism.
That's sort of the thing, technically it didn't matter how the Democrats voted the first time as there were enough Republican votes to pass it considering that the President wasn't going to veto the bill. However, considering how few Democrats voted against it, I do think they deserve to be smacked upside the head for not at least symbolically voting against it.
No, it refers to the fact that people have a natural tendency to leak an entire secret very slowly over time. Normally people with sensitive information won't give it up if one asks directly. But without training most will give up damn near the whole thing if asked for small portions of it when interspersed with conversation. Hence the saying.
It's really not applicable to this sort of situation.
To be honest that argument holds a lot more water when it comes to prostitution than pornography. Some people do enjoy having other people see them engaging in sexual activity. And porn is a much less harmful means than doing it in public with people who may or may not want to see it.
If you go over to their site, they've got a clearly misandrous agenda and the correlations they draw in order to rationalize the hatred of men are absolutely stunning. This isn't about rationally stating a legitimate view this is about bashing men as much as possible.
It wasn't a mistake and Facebook should have stuck to their guns and refused to reinstate the page. If you go to their website it's basically just man bashing. This is currently the to story on the front page Porn & Trafficking This is little better than those stupid bitchs who proclaim all men to be rape supporters even those where there is no rational reason to draw such a correlation.

It's hardly just Clinton and Bush that have retained the honorific, in recent decades that's become the style for all Presidents living or deceased.

But, I have a mustache. Does that mean I have to shave it off just to wear a fake one?
