I don't think government is inherently evil. I think it is inherently stupid.Stupid and powerful are a bad combination.

I am going to have to disagree on the stupid part. Repubs are stupid and powerful(think GW). These snakes in the grass Dems are not blundering about aimlessly. A couple of screw ups is stupid, but a culture of cutthroat and systematic acts of wrongness cannot be accounted for simply on the basis of stupidity. It is calculated not random. I dont know if evil but certainly not stupid. Wrong perhaps

T-Shirt is slightly clumsy.

The better variation is

Government isn't inherently evil.

Just this one.

As billboard copywriters all know: "Say it in seven, go to heaven. Say it in eight, it won't be great."

Why do I have to do all the heavy lifting around here?

Have I said that Verizon is filled with nice but incompetent people? And FIOS TV is the biggest piece of crap service on Earth? I did? Okay. Sorry. Carry on.

Verizon recently announced they're stopping the expansion of FIOS, instead investing $16B into their wireless network - money goes where it's treated best. I'll be stuck with Comcast until the funeral director closes the lid on me.

But! But! But! The administration is spending a bazillion plus dollars to expand access to 'Broad Band', so all your problems are solved!!!
Verizon sez "they're subsidizing our competition, so if they won't give US money, we'll spend our own on something different, less capital investment with a quick ROI."
In other words, they'll shove in some quick and dirty wireless to get their 'coverage' up to meet Fed standards, and the customer will take it or go without.

We had Comcast for years and HATED it. Mrs. Annoyed works from home and must have a perfect connection for security reasons. Could not wait for Fios, signed up as soon as we could. So far we're glad we did. We get far more stuff for the same basic price. Diff'rent strokes, I guess. The local management may make the difference in the service.

Just got Mid-Continent cable and I love it. $123 a month for many hi-defs, all premium channels, dvr, phone with free long distance, 25Meg internet with all the frills and fiber up to the apartment building. They offer 50Meg also. Browsing is as quick as pings but downloads are blazing. I rebuild alot of comps so I need to get updates for OSs which take forever at 3 or 5 Megs that I used to have.

Kindle, schmindle...I've got your
$350 e-book reader right here

I bought this Acer notebook a few weeks ago from Woot. It took some getting used to. I have a 50" television, a 23" monitor, and the Acer 10+ inch screen was a bitch. The wireless mouse didn't work for me, and I am not nimble with that touch pad mouse. However, I finally got things squared away, so now what?

The only reason I bought it was for those times when I'm going to be in a waiting room, or some other place without a computer. [Aside: I showed it to MoSup, and she said, "Oh good. Now you can take your sandbox with you." grrrr] Anxious to get more utility out of it, I got to thinking, hey, I bet there's a way to Kindleize this deal. And, there is.

Like the guy says, you'll want to flip the screen, and that's where the free app called EeeRotate comes in. As far as e-books, you can buy them, or you can avail yourself of the million free classics available. Like from Diesel e-Books.

I tried the Microsoft Reader, but there were so many restrictions I said screw it. I settled on Adobe's Digital Editions reader, not to be confused with its PDF reader. Will I ever actually use it? Don't know.

For what it's worth. You're welcome.

I have one too Rog. Bought it for surfing while watching the tube. In fact I'm using it now. I've broken at least three laptops by dropping them in this situation. Usually one good drop while running creates enough damage to make repair economically unfeasible. I've dropped this baby a dozen times in the last six months, and she's so light she keeps on ticking. Traveled with her too, she's good company.

No, most of them aren't.

You can use other applications to convert the text files into ebook format. The result is servicable, unless you take the time to format and index them properly in which case it becomes very nice.

(Heck, serviceable is good enough for me)

My apologies Mike. I went back to Gutenberg, and beauty. In fact,I'm not even bothering with the reader. Just rotate the screen,go full screen, adjust the font size, and bingo.

Kindle has a free application that lets you kindle your Desk top PC. I've been using it for both free and commercial E-books. I know it is good for Vista op sys. It is supposed to be good for XP and Windows 7.

What is the model designation for the ACER note book?

# posted by

toadold : 5/1/10 10:56 PM

Gutenberg's good, but I'm partial to UPenn's Free Books Online page.

E-book format? I don't know what that is. I've never considered turning my laptop sideways, either. I just open the book in Word Pad, resize the window, and off I go...

Recommendations: Mark Twain, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jack London.

Sitting at lunch the other day it occurred to me completely out of the blue that I hadn't read enough Twain. I have read Connecticut Yankee, and others. Once, I was socializing with a friend, a black guy, and mentioned that I was reading Huckleberry Finn. Again. He did look at me kinda funny, like as if who reads that kinda racist pap. We're friends enough that when I said it's one of the great American novels, he may wanna look into it, he said he would.

PS: I still use my Kindle. While not married to it, it beats the heck outta anything else I've come across so far.

Try mobipocket and mobicreator. A great website for books in multiple formats is webscriptions.net. They have a free library section that has some great science fiction. Also, books that aren't free range from $4 to $6. I've got the entire Honor Harrington series and John Ringo's books loaded in my smartphone. It also runs on desktops and laptops. There's mobicreator for conversion from HTML and text formats. Great product for traveling - I have at least 50 books in my smartphone at all times...

Baen offers a lot of SciFi in three(?) different formats. Some is free, and some you pay for.
http://www.baen.com/

You'll find a lot of oldies and some relatively recent stuff, even a few of Jerry Pournelle's work there.

Da Wookie wont give up the gravy train. Kinda like....

A husband and wife were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big kiss, tells him she'll see him later, and walks away.
His wife glares at him and says, 'Who was that??!!"
"Oh," replies the husband, 'that was my mistress."
The wife says, "That's it; I want a divorce."
"I understand," replies her husband, "But, remember, if you get a divorce, there will be no more shopping trips to Paris, no wintering in the Caribbean, no Lexus in the garage, and no more country club. But the decision is yours."
Just then the wife notices a mutual friend of theirs entering the restaurant with a gorgeous woman.
'Who's that woman with Jim?" she asks.
"That's his mistress," replies her husband.
"Ours is prettier," says the wife.

Hacker of Sarah Palin's e-mail found guilty,
but that's not what I'm telling you about

This is, comments made under this Reuters news item, by permanent members of the OJ jury pool ...

“

It was the hackers fault that Palin the Tea Bagger and Republican leader lost.
No Sarah, you lost because you are just plain D U M B.
But don't be surprised these right wing tea baggers always have someone else to blame for their stupidity.

Palin's husband and father were separatists, she is a poorly educated leader from a town know as 'the meth capital of Alaska.

"Why did you use an easily guessed password question?" "There was no reason to keep that a secret."

You know that if the situation had been reversed, that one of her
follower had hacked into Obama's site, she would have said 'what have ya
got to hide?" She still talks the nonsense about him growing up with
communists.

JAIL PALIN
Palin has violated Copyright and Patients Laws.
Palin copied the title of her book from Ronald Reagan's autobiography.
Sarah Palin's Book -- "Going Rogue: An American Life"
Ronald Reagan's autobiography -- "An American Life".

This insane religious fanatic with values exactly identical to the 'Family Values' first invented by propaganda minister for Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbals.
Read the Nazi version in Mein Kampf, and her version, and except for hate of Jews every other item is EXACTLY identical.

I dislike Palin intensely, but this guy broke the law intentionally and
deserved to be convicted. Next, they should go after the other high
ranking official's son who entered a Louisiana congresswoman's federal
offices with the intent to make illegal videos in hopes of embarrassing
her for political gain. There's no difference between these jerks.

”

Okay, you can find similar demonstrations from terminal tards anywhere comments are allowed. I just landed on these today. They, none of them, are allowed at my bull roast. I'm taking away their vote franchise tool. It is ordered.
