My kids enjoyed it quite a bit, watching it several times and will certainly want to see the 'upgraded' edition. What more do can you ask for in an animated short?

Three more reasons for Jeff to buy any newspaper:

  - Augment the Prime program with new premium content.
  - New (free or free w/Prime) content for Kindle
  - Show NYT and WSJ how to properly model a digital subscription program as they have clearly not yet figured out just how overpriced they are for a nearly zero-overhead distribution medium.

It will catch on, if not become the new building code standard for moorings -- even if mariners and structural engineers ignore it, insurance companies will insist upon it.

To complete the circle, we really need the ability to run this within Lynx, from within Emacs. Imagine the possibilities!

To mitigate this risk we simply require that all people in the queue stand at least 10 feet apart.

GP was referring to a rising water table and its effect on ground stability, not sea level.

See the second link under the "Advanced" filter: Apparently reading level is not based entirely on the quality, density or accessibility of ideas in prose, but in the element of situational humor as well.

Throughout history, every library sale and used bookstore has had its opportunistic patrons, only difference here is that knowledge of the medium is no longer required. What before could only be accomplished by a select few bibliophiles, every patron can now perform. The constant "Oh look dear, see if that nice gentleman over there with the scanner can help you find what you need." factor can't help morale much either.

That would explain the uneasy feeling I get when misspelling a word, usually before I've even had a chance to look at the screen to see what was typed.

"After reading this book and applying the principles it contained on increasing one's abilities..." Great that these inmates were able to do some good with this program, but it is based on Scientology, there is nothing misleading here.
