Re: [CGUYS] ebook readers
I use a refurb Palm Zire 31. It was about $90 and has a color backlit screen. It's not perfect, but is perfectly usable, at least for me. Each "page" is about the chunk of text I'd scan in a book, so each push of the button is right in rhythm with my reading style. I use it waiting in line at the bank or grocery and especially love it for long night time car trips. It is also a useful anti-boredom measure for those long waits outside the dressing room when accompanying a loved one clothes shopping. It's cheap enough that I won't be heartbroken if I lose or destroy it. It fits in a pant's pocket. It can be used under many lighting conditions. An hour or a month later it is still at the paragraph where you left off and you will never run out of reading material.

Re: [CGUYS] rampant piracy
The subject line of this thread is perfect in it's irony. There is no rampant piracy except in the feeble minds of the RIAA and MPAA. The MPAA itself released it's box office receipts recently..was the rampant piracy the cause of all kinds of drops in revenue for the movie industry?

>Might want to look up fascists before you toss it around like a joke at a >party. Just a thought. "A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism." Does one have to score 100% on every count to be labeled "fascist?" Perhaps the term "aspiring fascists" would be better? If there room for innovation in the political order, perhaps we should call them "compassionate fascists?" * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

That is a definition left up to the user's choice then, since the user will define who is dictatorial or who's views are extreme and right- wing. By making this defense it strikes me that you are in the Humpty Dumpty class of linguists. 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.' 'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.'

[CGUYS] Problem installing Windows on a system with Linux already on it

When I try to do this, after hitting enter to select the partition, I get a message saying that the disk has no XP compatible partition. I even tried deleteing and creating a partition from the windows setup screen and itdid not do any good along with messing up the partition table. Anyone have a clue?

The logic proceeding from the easy distribution assertion is no better than claims about UFOs. It focuses on fictitious sales that might happen if people had the extra money and really cared about the content and got around to it. It is the logic of looking at what is on your neighbor's plate instead of what is on your own plate. It does not account for all the music that Apple is actually selling.

The definition of "you" is the pertinent issue. Amazon can "share" with Kindle... if they choose to ... and with regard to publishing rights and if you have paid up on your subscription.

Hugo Chávez is a popular leader, having been elected, then reelected in open--not hacked--elections, and returned to power after BushCo's CIA failed to help overthrow his government. My cousins there don't like him, but still aren't ready to move to the states from Venezuela yet. [thank goodness for the Internets and email.] Chávez isn't looney tunes at all. The only looney tunes are the propaganda noises coming from the White House, mainly because Venezuelans don't like free trade [globalization] over fair trade. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's the news from Venezuela. It would be interesting to find out what their laws are regarding privacy on computer networks, considering the bad [wrong] PR they've been getting recently.

Re: [CGUYS] Problem installing Windows on a system with Linux a
I thought you were asking me to put windows on a new drive and then change the boot sequence? It would be much easier to find an answer to my original question, if its possible at all. on Thursday 03/06/2008 Tom Piwowar([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote > >This would not work for me as I wold then have to go into the BIOS and > >change things around and I am not even sure I could do this. > > What do you think you would need to change?

The man backs and praises the narco-thugs of FARC. He threatened war because Columbia took out a FARC base in Ecuador. He praises Castro and the nut president of Iran. Sounds looney toons to me.

My cousins there don't like him, but still aren't ready to move to the states from Venezuela yet. [thank goodness for the Internets and email.] Chávez isn't looney tunes at all. The only looney tunes are the propaganda noises coming from the White House, mainly because Venezuelans don't like free trade [globalization] over fair trade. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's the news from Venezuela. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] ebook readers
David Weber provides a cd with his hardcover SF containing free e- copies of most of his works. I have most of the Honor Harrington series on my Palm. His publisher, Baen, has a site with lots of free SF ebooks called the Baen Free Library. SF author Eric Flint has an interesting take on piracy on its homepage. Baen believes that the publicity benefits out weight the dangers of piracy. Right now I'm re- reading Jane Eyre that I got, I believe, from the Gutenberg site. I've occasionally purchased ebooks from Fictionwise.com, but very rarely.

Re: [CGUYS] ebook readers
Be sure that the person who will potentially receive the ebook really wants one and realizes its features and limitations. Otherwise the ebook will end up spending more time on a shelf or in a drawer, or broken. For electronic books, I prefer unabridged audiobooks on my iPod. My 2 cents. If anyone gives you an ebook reader, Betty, I'll be happy to take it off your hands!!! I'd love to have one but can't really rationalize it. I am one of Audible.s original subscribers so I have hundreds of books there that I listen to on my mp3 player but sometimes it's more convenient to read one and I just like electronic gadgets, I guessand the ability to carry a bunch of books with me in a small space. I have a Palm LIfeDrive and do put a few ebooks on that and read even on a small screen without a lot of problem. I always have it with me so always have a book available. I also find that I get very irritated with people (read:husband) when they interrupt me when I'm "reading" an audible book because it's very much like interrupting a movie. I don't feel that way if I'm reading on the Palm and can immediately look down and see where I was and go back a couple of sentences to refresh my memory. SoI say both are good and paper is ,well, old technology. LOL Paula IN/USA Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Re: [CGUYS] Problem installing Windows on a system with Linux already on it
It's a lot more problematic to install windows after linux then the other way around. Windows wants to mess with the boot sector. might check this out: http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html Mike On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 3:34 PM, John covici <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all.
