I'm still using my N900 for that, because it works so well. Even my N950 can't compare in terms of ease of multitasking.
Also, stock N900 browser is far better than any other browser I've seen for *any* platform, with features like a selection mode for copying text or "dragging" elements of the webpage(like when you're using Google Maps), copy (link/image) address/save (link/image) as menus... it's great for appearing to be a desktop.
I've found the same thing - TrackPoint/clit mice are great. Touchpads are not.
That being said, I find the scrolling feature of my touchpad to be far nicer than using the middle button on my TrackPoint to scroll.
Actually, that sort of kinetic scrolling is quite nice, and is the one redeeming thing about touchscreens.
Or, people can go into the bank, and speak with an actual teller.
Also, debit cards are the general solution, as they have lower fees than CCs, yet aren't cash.
Very true, but I'd go as far as to say you can charge money to
Actually, commercial power is usually cheaper than residential on a per-KWH basis, because they use more and get bumped into a lower cost bracket(if they aren't already there by being on a "commercial" account). The monthly cost, however, is much higher.
So, as a consumer I'm supposed to want to use a credit card because I'll spend more on overpriced crap, because I don't need to count my money as closely? Sounds more like I should
(That being said, as a consumer I know exactly what you're talking about - If I decide to use credit for a transaction, I'll buy more stuff. Especially at some place like Harbor Freight.)
I'd love to pay less for using cash at any retailer. As it is, plastic is easier(though I use debit most), but if it was sliightly cheaper, I'd be using cash.
Right now, I use Debit most, along with occasional Credit and Cash purchases. If any of the three options offered me a cheaper solution somewhere(even 1%), I'd use that one almost exclusively. I'm not too worried about my card being stolen - I take responsibility for my money. If it gets lost or stolen and someone empties my bank account, I will dispute it, but consider it a lesson learned. With cash, if it's gone, it's gone.
What I'd be most interested in is how merchants who run Debit transactions as a Credit(signature) will fair - will they all switch payment processors to someone who does (cheaper) debit transactions, or will they end up charging more for Debit as well? Only time will tell.
Either way, I think this is a good thing.
Only until you create rules for blocking that include it; it won't prevent the ad from
It would block proxy filters and adblockers,
Honestly, you're right. I wish I had mod points.
True. Calibre can do both, however: By default, convert unencrypted
Calibre, which is FOSS and cross-platform btw.
And you can get a drm-stripping plugin for it too.
Well,
While not the best way of doing things, in the case of ODF spreadsheets, well, the code is available to be copied(or data extracted from) for use in a new implementation. I don't think anyone would have minded if MS gave out the source to that part of word, for reverse engineering purposes.
