From the FAQ: No. There is no charge for your nook's wireless features. You do not need a contract.
As for the file transmisson: B&N is short on details. Since the OS on the nook is Android 1.5, I'm guessing someone will find a way to hack the firmware, even if B&N isn't helping.
What I hate is being called "Techie" and being treated like I'm some kind of inscrutable little dwarf. "Oh, you techies!" "How can you expect me to click a little picture on the screen? I'm not one of you techies!" "Is the computer turned on? How would I know, that's a techie thing!" Fecking morons.
IT Guy would be a step up.
I mean, really, Apple did it back in the day because their customers were too stupid to know what a CPU was-- I mean, were too busy creating and thinking differently to care whether they had a 68K or a PowerPC computer.
But why now? And for Linux?!!? Sweet fancy Moses, if you can't figure out what type of binary you need, you're just not going to get too far with the average Linux distribution.

Ryan-- dude-- go solve a real problem. This wasn't one.
It's pretty much always been that way. People feel strongly about things, and the "discussions" get brutal at times. It isn't personal (usually!), but there's no reason you should put up with it if you find it distasteful.
Really? Operator overloading??!? What a moron! Worst Idea Ever.
See, that's the advantage of print. That link you provided? Gibberish. I couldn't read a single word of the handwriting examples provided. It looked like somebody wrote "pengÅ'", which is obviously not a word.
Hey, I *like* telepathic sex! If only my partners were aware of it....
Any change, technological or otherwise, that reduces the influence of the idiots in this state can only be a good thing. Sweet merciful Christ, just look at our senators, our representatives... Napolitano is the first governor in decades that didn't end her term in disgrace or prison, and she gets promoted out-of-state. McCain is our sane senator.
I think Monster sells those. With gold plated connectors. $150000 each.
An authority is a person who can tell you more about something than you really care to know.
