17 In late 2007, Amazon.com, Inc. (“Amazon”) introduced the Kindle, a portable
18 device that carries digital copies of books, known as “ebooks.” This innovation
19 had the potential to change the centuriesold process for producing books by
20 eliminating the need to print, bind, ship, and store them.

But it *is* 70% to Amazon for books between $0.99 and $2.98. Maybe that's justified by the fixed costs Amazon faces, which are a greater percent of a smaller price, but it still seems absurd to me. Of course my response is just to not price ebooks under $2.99, and then I can avoid it.

Really, who needs Apple? I just watched a tear down of Beats Solo headphones and its no surprise they are made of crap.

Not a lot of storage is necessary as long as electricity is never priced below market equilibrium

Those of us who have to run our air-conditioners 24/7 seven+ months of the year disagree. A lot of storage is necessary, or a lot of the energy producers have to be baseload. For which read "nuclear"....

Yes, perhaps we too can do it the German way. All we need to do is replace all our old coal-fired power plants with brand new, more efficient ones, while at the same time encouraging Mexico to install nuclear, so we can export our cheap electricity to them.

Or maybe Germany is awesome at propaganda. They import 2/3 of their energy (including nuclear energy from France and Czech Republic).

Amen to that.

If we are gonna claim to be serious about cutting emissions, France has already proven the technology to do so has already existed for a long time.

What is off-topic about those results?

The organisation in question's website - which is no longer called the Wisconsin Tourism Federation - comes second in the list, and only because you've used google.de. Use its new name, or use google.com, and it comes top.

Seems like it's working perfectly to me.

Isn't NAT and private address space a method of overcoming the limitations of IPv4? Shouldn't IPv6 be able to enable new home routers to be designed to avoid some private addresses where needed, specifically for the purposes of allowing access to our things. Old routers seem to be needed in order to circumvent our privacy. Until this is answered then no employee of a cloud based service would be expected to come clean about why they use such external servers. In other words aren't old IPv4 routers underpinning the current business model for any home device that needs to be accessed from outside?

What a waste of address space... That many PUBLIC IP's? What a mess that must be.

You obviously have not had to install Java recently. They have been bundling the Ask Toolbar (checked by default, and also making Ask your default search provider) for the last few years.

Honestly, bundling Yahoo is a step up - or at worst sideways. But, it is still criminal that this kind of crapware is enabled by default, preying on the novice users who are not savvy enough to un-check it.

maybe try turning safe search back on and not searching with such ambiguous keyword combinations as "giant cock"?

You are so far off base, that you're making an ass out of yourself. First of all, I'm in no way religious.
