I can buy the Hitchiker's books at a place like Half-Price Books for $3-5 per volume. When I have read them, other people can read them, too, for no additional cost. Physical books are a social thing. I buy a lot of used books; I own books that hundreds of other people had before me. EBooks are a dead end purchase. Your copy terminates with you, or often with your proprietary reading device. When a business decides to quit selling a particular title it ceases to exist for any further readers to acquire.
History has ended, we have arrived. A committee can figure out which variant of the solution to all problems that our ideology represents should be prescribed.
The grass is perennial. The weeds are annual. If you mow down the weeds through a few reseeding cycles (never allow the weeds to mature and throw out seed) the weeds are decimated. For the most part. Some weeds are really fast at throwing seeds (i.e. dandelions)
The whole point of the WWW is communication. We've gone past the point now, it seems, where every computer runs an httpd and your 'home page' is in a folder on your hard drive, but the whole point in the web was for everyone to put up pages with info on them. I have an account on freeshell.org and paid my one-time membership fee so the httpd there serves up whatever I put in my ~/www folder. I can shell into the account and do the web the way it was originally intended.
We are all supposed to be providing the content to each other in the first place.
I still have (some) hope for a symmetrical web. I still use Seamonkey for my Internet Suite, and yes, I have used the Composer component to create HTML that I have put on my web site.
I recognized this phenomenon back in about 1998 when I was a 'full immersion' desktop Linux user at home. One day I noticed to my excitement that with Xfig, I had nearly all the functionality that I remembered from Micrografx Designer on my old Windows system.
Then I thought again. "This is about as good as Windows 3.1 was!" A short while later I switched over to NT 4.0 for the short wait until Windows 2000 (which truly was what killed the "Linux desktop" in that era) came out.
The sentencing process is irrelevant, really. Hillary Clinton simply needs to be convicted of a Felony. That prevents her from running for the office of President.
In the case of Hillary, that might be considered Cruel and Unusual Punishment, however, so she might squeak out of it that way.
We badly need a term that is the equivalent of 'Country Club Republicans' for the Democrats. Something to call the 'inevitable Insider' political operatives who 'run' the party and determine who the selected candidate will be. The truth of the matter is, Democrats hang out in those regions of the social strata too.
If people would think about this for 2 seconds, she should be laughed out of the race. It is easier to set up your own exchange email server than set up two email addresses on their phone?? Really?
To be fair, if you're a member of the Gentry, it's easier to have 'your people' set up an email server than be sullied by the need to click twice to read your email.
My Fitbit is a Fitbit One, and clipped to my leg at a pants pocket. No arm-step corelation needed. They're not as snazzy as the wrist ones but you can still get the time from them.
The One is still more expensive, too, hinting it's somehow better. (except I got mine new and unopened at a local Goodwill for $19.99)
We have dramatically good well water at our house. It's as good or better than any bottled spring water I have tried.
It's sort of a mystery, though, because it's the well the house had when we bought it, which is serviced by a deep well jet pump in the cellar, not a submersible pump, so I don't even know how deep it is. And the house is at least 120 years old, and in the country, so the history isn't well recorded anywhere.
It's nice to just draw a glass out of the tap and drink.
We have two driveways here. Well, one is a gravel roadway to the small pasture that I use as a driveway. Are there really people in tract housing stuck sharing a driveway??
An ipod touch costs 3-4 times as much as a non- contract cheap Android phone for Virgin or Boost or whomever that you never activate. The Android phone also has an SD slot, and you can even skip registering it with Google and sideload or use the Amazon app store if you like. The lonely little niche in the store with the ipod display is an "are you kidding?" deal. Apple probably pays the stores for wasting the space.
My first mobile device was a 32g iPod touch. I would NEVER do that again.
Correct. These flying devices easily could lose control. Nobody but a trained and licensed professional has any business operating one in areas that put the public at risk. Just like with RC model airplanes, clubs of enthusiasts can arrange for special spaces where it is safe to fly them. Anywhere else, people who see one in use should be easily able to call the police and have the thing grounded and it's operator apprehended. Throw in a civil forfeiture clause and the police will be pleased to respond.

It seems like technology that it would be fun to subvert. Broadcast a signal that makes the lawnmower wander out into the street....
Don't you mean until Google bought something decent? Android does not originate with Google.

Bing will stay free.
Isn't Google just a loss-leader beta project from a company called Alphabet now, anyway?
When I want to talk to A.C. I just open the window and shout out of it.

"Everybody duzz it!" says the slimeball drunk driver as they pull the bodies from the other car.
And Biden gets his 'email' printed out and sent to his office via pneumatic tube, while he's riding the passenger train home.

Not necessary. Just issue the Felony to make her ineligible to run for President. Get out your Bernie and Biden signs. Move on (.org).

The Sprint/Radio Shack store a few miles from me here sells wire cutters, soldering irons, and even Arduinos.

Musk is just seeking atonement for the riches he attained through Paypal.
Owning a Tesla is an ultra-Prius experience.

Dude probably still installs slackware. How many floppy disks does the XD series take up these days?
