When I buy an eBook, I do not own the book. In order to read the book, I have to hope that some DRM server somewhere will authorize the eBook reader to show me the book I want to read.
I have books on my book shelves that are over 50 years old, and I can still read them fine. Can the same be said about eBooks 50 years from now?

Unless and until Mr. Ballmer is shown the door, he will just continue re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, and Microsoft will continue its slow voyage to the bottom...
there is a current investigation by FINRA
FINRA tries to pass itself off as an independent regulator of the financial industry.
.
Just take a look at the firms that make up FINRA and you will see what a farce it is to use FINRA and financial industry regulation in the same sentence.
Chrome is just unbearably creepy. It installs itself like a virus, keeps begging you to 'sign in' to something you dont want or need so you can be more effectively tracked....
I cannot disagree.
when Firefox will halt up for 5-10 seconds rendering a new tab
You've noticed that also.
.
Though I would call it more of a paralysis than a halt. Firefox goes completely unresponsive.
Unnerving at best. And hardly what I would expect of a top-rated "performance-crown-winning" browser.
.
At this point, if you are deciding upon which browser to use, perhaps the browser with the marginally highest performance benchmark numbers may not be the browser for you.
Here is a difference that matters more to me: when I change the http proxy settings in Firefox, only Firefox is affected. However, when i change the http proxy settings in Chrome, the proxy settings for Windows are changed, meaning that other applications are affected. For this reason I use Firefox instead of Chrome, even though Firefox is a lot slower on a web page I frequent a lot.
More like simplifying.
When you make something idiot-proof, only idiots will want to use it.
As long as it doesn't break Noscript
Given Firefox's history of breaking plug-ins, why would you expect NoScript to continue to work?
.
First Microsoft releases an awful version of Windows (8.0), then Microsoft backtracks (temporarily?) and restores some useful functionality that was removed (emphasis on some).
The question remains, how long before Microsoft has another dose of stupid, and re-removes the Start button and boot to desktop. Strategically, it is what they want to do, so you know they will keep trying to do it.
it could be ANY Altair8080
Ummm... no.
.
An Altair 8080 is a different computer entirely.
Of course by this time our interest was piqued - with just a simple google search we discovered the girls website - while the content of the site was not porn the masthead showed her posing in bondage gear, and copy relating to her various preferences! She did get an interview but the cards were already on the table.
Why did you waste her time with an interview if the cards were already on the table?
.
From what you describe, I suspect if she did get the job, it would have been a hostile work environment for her, with too many busybodies poking around into her private life.
With your bare hands?!?
