As much as I hate to admit, I am a talented weapons designer. The first thing I thought about when thinking of a conventional 'MAD' style peenemunde retaliatory base was banking a shitload of encrypted com modules for the "flying bomb" I designed. The first damn thing I thought of was a secure link. And our own military can't hack this? This is why I hate paying taxes. We should have the best but we fuck ourselves and let others fuck us. The fact that this 'type' of technology has existed since WWII tells us: 1.There's simply not as much intrigue or educated radicals as you might think. 2.Your money truly is being wasted.

or the cover of Rush's seminal album...

Fuck... Maybe I should try slackware 13 on my new computer! Matter of fact I kinda miss it!

Where have you been? This campaign worked so well that they made a sequel: Don't copy that floppy 2. Don't copy that floppy 2 BTW that guy at the end was selling copies of shit on ebay and stuff! Now he's getting ass raped...

You got your ebook reader for free! I bet you wouldn't even buy one with money you had to labor for! This (to a degree) degrades the opinion you preach being as you didn't even take the time to go and buy it yourself. Spoiled brat! Tablets will rule the ebook world. I told you first Goofy and here it is, not more than a week after our argument on the "Ubuntu 9.04 on the Kindle" thread. In your face! Asus came through again!

Your a fanboy! Look buddy, we're all down with bittorrent here at slashdot. We all ready have huge downloaded folders with books in many formats: .chm .djvu .pdf The kindle is just not the device we want for this task. THE KINDLE IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO MY DIGITAL LIBRARY! and many other people feel the same way.

When I was riding the train to and from work I also read _a lot_. I almost like the "get away" opportunity that the train provides for reading. I really think I would like to use a "large ipod touch" as opposed to a kindle. I promised the other guy that I would try one though.

Your right... I mainly want to display the RPG's I've downloaded. I just feel the book collection type that I have would be mostly incompatible. Plus I would really prefer a touch tablet (Like a big ipod). I will honor this argument and seek to experience the thrill of the kindle. Thanks for remaining so very pleasant throughout this argument.

I've read peoples comments. Just like you, they don't realize that the books people want to display aren't just ASCII and have color. The tablet will prevail. Mark my words. On the subject of an eight hour battery life... If your gone for more than a day you probably packed your (LARGE) laptop with all the other stuff you need for an overnight stay. The one device philosophy would work the best in this case. Camping is the only thing I can think of... But who the hell would bring a Kindle to the Boundary waters?

Fact: The kindle is as big as a laptop. Apple could (in addition to the online music business) steal the book market with a tablet.. An eight hour, low power setting, would be more than enough to merit e-book reader status.

Do not get a Nokia. I own a Nokia N800 and compared to the iphone it is absolute shit! I say this from experience, don't be fooled by the fact that it uses linux! Even with a terminal installed they are not that cool ( I have a fold out keyboard also and it still sucks) , unless the touchscreen is equivalent to what the ipod touch has. And I'm sure it is probably the same type of touch screen that the N800 has which is crap! IPOD is unmatch and will be for a while still!

I've seen the TAM (Trans-Atlantic-Model), I've seen the CCCongress's lecture on paparazzi. I would also have to conclude that if someone has a couple thousand dollars and the time, that you could build a cruise missile. Don't lie to yourselves, If I wanted to bomb Japan for shutting down my factory here in the states, I probably could do it. And that dumb ass N.Korean president is throwing so much effort into that nuke program... How sad. "Yay, I'm going to be a mass murderer."

Each game is going to have to be classified or examined for exceptions and then made into a package with updates... I've been wanting to make a bootable dos/win95 gaming image since the eee pc came out. I always wanted a little computer just for dos games...Now I got one. BTW The main FPS games I play are old (JKII and RF).

Infomagic developers kits were the shit! I got my first set in 1997 (Elvis) and started fiddling with redhat and debian and slackware. I ended up liking slackware the most. Linux comes with a shit tonne of development tools. I don't really care for ubuntu or fedora anymore and have gone back to slackware for my desktop. Because linux is more powerful from the command line! You should write your own scripts if you need and design your own systems...

I have worked in SMT assembly and even when a business claims lead free processes, there are still _many_ reels of parts that are not. Just a little inside info. Not to mention the bags and bags of packaging for the CF connectors and the like.
