I've had my 2Gen kindle now for just over 2 years. I have 4 more friends on my account, so we can buy a book "Once" and then all 5 of us get to read it concurrently. My friends and I have read over 200 books in 26 months. I like charging it once a month roughly, (about the time I load a few more books on it as well)
I Malaysia, when I was there a few years ago, they had a "tax" that was part of the registration fees. It was proportional to the cubic inches of displacement for the engine in the vehicle. (there was a slightly lower version for diesel since they typically are larger.) I don't recall what the actual fee was, but let's say it's $1 per inch^3 per year. Now all those Hemi drivers pay an additional $350/$390 a year, and if you drive a 2 liter car, it's $122, or $10 a month.
What they need to use those funds for are solely infrastructure funds, no salaries, no personnel, just materials. Then our bridges/roads could be maintained easily. (the current gas tax could take over the burden of the salaries and "middle management crap"
Sorry, I was caught up in broad generalization, I think it can play a part, but I wouldn't expect it to be the case for all TG's nor the case for all those lacking hormone release at the developmental stages of their lives.
Gender Identity has nothing to do with chromosomes. It has to do with the identity of self-awareness. I've been struggling with the concept of a binary gender system, but can definitely acknowledge that at 39, I don't know it all. But from what I do know, is if I'm a female, or male, it has nothing to do with equipment or genes, it's how I perceive myself as a person. Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity are exclusive, they're not connected, you can have any and all genders being asexual, homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual. It's not that being one limits the others.
I've had miserable performance with mine, Start moving data to it and the interface comes back with "Too Busy!" for 2 weeks. Then it slowed down and needed to be rebooted.
I have 4 additional friends on 1 Amazon account. we have 5 kindles, (we also have 3 iPhones, and 1 Droid) and we can even read on any of 5 PCs (Mac|Win)
I buy 1 book when it comes out, and everyone gets to read it as well. That and when any of us want a book except for the account holder, we just buy an amazon gift card (no need to "figure in" shipping or tax) for $7 or whatever, and apply it to the account so the purchase costs the account holder no $$$.
Side note: Authors like JA Konrath have dirt cheap ebooks and they're really well written. Check out the Jack Daniel's series.
Whoa! Yeah you can get a netbook for less. but the iPad and iPad2 both have a 10 hour battery life (over 4 hours from the netbooks you posted.) That, and if you're comparing the iPad2 here (which is out this week) Why did you compare it with a SINGLE core Atom? (N450) Ever run Win7 on a Single Core? Not pretty. I run it at home on a Dual (330) and it's good for a basic net-browser, and that's about it. Since the A10 is new, Why not compare it with a D525 Atom? Guess what? They're all $450-$500 (both newegg and amazon)
I think you'd be better off instead of quad, using 2 cards with 4 outputs to drive 3 monitors, maybe some massive 32" beast in the middle and the L&R would be like 19"s turned vertical. so the height was the same. That would be more interesting than having 4 screens and a bezel in the middle
My only thought on the Ribbon other than the shock one gets the first few times they use it, is placement. From how I see it, displays on Laptops and Desktops are becoming even more HD, meaning that the vertical space on a monitor is becoming less and less for the same size on a 4:3 display. Now you're going to take up an inch or so of space across the whole screen? It doesn't go sideways, and yeah you can "Hide" the Ribbon, but what good does that get you?
I've had vonage for 5 years now. It's great, and the simplest UPS can actually power the cable modem, my router, and the vonage modem for HOURS with the power out (last time I checked was 6+ hours) Yes the beeping sucks, but it silences after a while. My laptop ran out of juice way before my network died.
Oh dear. They're disproving the theory of relativity because they're too dumb to understand why things don't always follow Newtonian physics and they have no idea about quantum states. My favorite was the last example about the barn and ladder. They'd disprove Schrodinger's cat cause a cat can't be alive and dead at the same time, cause that just doesn't make sense. Or it'd be a zombie and they're evil. **sigh** I wish they were blocked at work too
I was wondering about how far the beam will go. We've a lot of space junk up there, Will they know that if they burn through something they could hit a satellite? Or junk drifting in LEO?
Still, I am no fan of Hitler, but I can't see anyone PROTESTING a funeral. (someone had to invoke godwin with this thread)... The only way I could see protesting a funeral in your batshit example is if he/she were being buried in an outlandish way using gobs of taxpayer money. Then I could possibly see it. But in the end, a life is lost, It is no time for anyone to have an opinion on that person from when they were alive, as they are a day late and a dollar short, What good will it bring? Maybe they could meet elsewhere? But still, even if I were to protest Regan's grandiose funeral, where the gubmint shut down, I wouldn't have done so within visibility of those who mourned him. It's just not right.

Both, as long as their under 13 and can keep a secret.
Ha! At first I was thinking of Captain Jack Harkness from Torchwood. the best stuff starts around 3minutes in. Definitely not the G-Guy

While Blink frightened me somewhat, Nothing scared the pants off me like "The Empty Child"
Fez's are cool.
Wait, are you a sibling of mine?
Grindr, Scruff, Growlr, Manhunt.... They should have one for Homophobes. So we can have some gay-basher bashing? :)
Ok just how many homos are on /.? I swear I feel like I'm the only technofag in the universe most days.

You left out BP and XE... Hmmm Maybe 2-letter companies are evil?

Yet my New-Ish Latitide E5410 Doesn't. and yes I just checked. I've got 1394, and even a spot for a PHONE JACK, but no eSATA.

I gave that site out to a few friends, but the best I got in return was THIS. I'm voting conservapedia gets a mention in dickipedia.org

Should I give you my paypal? LOL Oddly I don't think my partner and I would consider vacationing in a flyover state.
