I am a voracious reader. I've been using a program called Palm Reader on various Palm OS devices for 5 or 6 years, for nearly all my reading needs. I can read books on my PDA way faster than a paper book, probably because I'm so accustomed to it. The only thing it's not good for is heavily annotated books like War and Peace (which I am reading right now in paper form) with all the French-English translations in the footnotes.
Reading on a small hand-held device (currently a Palm 755p) is far superior most of the time. It provides its own illumination for night reading, it's smaller and lighter than a book, and I can store hundreds (or more) of books on it at once. The only people it would be bad for are those with poor eyesight.
As for where I get all my ebooks, that's a discussion for a different thread.

I originated several articles on major things in the fall of 2004 (when Wikipedia was not yet run by petty elitists).
None of my content is still there, but pretty much all of the articles are.
I don't even bother these days, unless in my role as self-assigned grammar-nazi.

It doesn't matter which side wins in this debate in Texas. Either way young Texas children will still grow up with no idea how many provinces there are in Canada, what language they speak in Egypt, or who the president of France is.

I took notes during MBA school in html -just to make boring classes less boring.

Or maybe, just maybe, both the Constitution AND one or more of the Supreme Court rulings are indeed defective. The Constitution is not perfect, and I challenge anyone to explain otherwise.

I don't memorize the passwords themselves, just the answers to my secret questions. I just expect to always be answering the secret questions to retrieve/reset my passwords.

Wasn't there something several months ago about a patent for a back-of-the-device touch sensitivity system?
If there is a new interface, that's my bet.

I've also been an 'independent consultant' this year.
Pro: Much more free time.
Con: no income.

Craigslist want to make it moderately difficult to quickly access its listings for more than one location at a time. As soon as it becomes super easy to access listings and perform more powerful searches, then the spammers and corporations will move in and make craigslist into what ebay has become in recent years. I personally want craigslist to stay just how it is, and so I support any attempt to block access for silly things like Yahoo Pipes.

Unless they still make the cool sparking design whilst in the microwave, I am not interested!

Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right...
