It doesn't mean they are using computers with silverlight installed.

I bought a kindle fire (original) at a physical store solely because online reviews said that amazon associates your kindle to your account before shipping it to you. so if it got stolen in the mail or by the door (because of the stupid kindle sticker on the box), the thieves can buy crap on you amazon account.

I regret buying it though, since the kindle app on an ipad is more user friendly (for example, it takes fewer steps to change brightness within the kindle app on the ipad than on the kindle fire).

most likely your email address is in the contacts (address book) of someone who has your email they download an app on their phone that scraped your email address?

for astroturfing, look at the 5 star reviews on amazon for "a dance with dragons".

pretend you're blind and use the accessibility option of vioceover?

hold the phone to your ear when using siri to get audio feedback instead of visual feedback.

I thought HBO is owned by Time-Warner so don't hold your breath about them decoupling HBO from cable. I'm in the same boat you are: would love to get/pay for HBO but not cable.

While you are not wrong.

Perpetual machines don't exist and we can't get free energy out of nothing. Eventually, restricting diet will lower weight.
And people really really don't realize how much they eat (they are not dishonest, they just don't realize).

Do you know if this is a lifelong infection or if the parasites die in humans after a while?

call them freedom particles

Ahh, "let them eat cake" approach...
