Hey, you can do a lot worse than Philip J. Fry (like Zoidberg or Zapp).

Why people care about votes?? I don’t get it.

Great Wall of China? Come-on, no body can do that. And its not aliens, its GOD, who show favors protecting his favorite people, the Chinese.

A Chrismas Carol is long?

You misunderstood. It asks for your real name and your identification number.

Recently I am partial to the name： Arthur

Pokemon Blue

Is actually great since it forces you to learn which saves you much more time in the long run.

It is great when you have time to learn, but when you are trying to troubleshoot while understand basically nothing of the wiki … it is not good.

This was actually Amazon’s manual that came with the first Paperwhite, I don’t know if they still does though.

Thank you, I knew I was missing something, I was thinking of this when I replied it.

The main lure of Kindle or any other e-link device is its screen. E-Link, unlike your standard LED/OLED screens on your phone/computer/tablets has lightbulbs pointed DOWN, there’s a mirror that reflects the lgiht back up, because of this, the light that hits your eyes are much weaker and thus cause less strains (I would imagine Paperwhite and Voyage are worse with eye strains than Keyboard as Keyboard does not have lights). (This actually applies to the LED Kindles, such as Paperwhite and on, rather than the general e-link display)

I have Kindle KB, Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle Voyage, aside from KB where the battery is dead, both Paperwhite and Voyage are still in service and it is my best purchase to date.

That said, there are still times when I miss the weight of physical book on my hand, so I still borrow physical books from libraries and purchase physical books. Through the years I saw many arguments that tends to pose this “problem” as “either/or” situations, as if having one format is a distain for the other. That is simply not true, I devour ebooks, breathe physical books and seek articles on my computer.

As to why have a dedicated device for one purpose? Because it is the best at what it does. Phone/tablet computers possess too much distractions, even unprovoked I’m bombarded with notification popups. Kindle, just read. No distractions.

NP, I guess I’ll just have to accept it (I only use it to convert ebooks to KFX format, it seems a bit overkill to have VM Windows just for that.)

Thank you for trying to help.

I am just testing things out, so I’m trying to install Kindle Previewer and Caesium image compressor. All install correctly, but crash upon execute.

This is the error for Kindle Previewer

A question regarding bottles, do I have to install dependencies in the settings? My exe all installed without error but can’t open.

I agree, the internet was still quite young in those days, I’m quite sure I wont be so open with internet access with my children (they are 7 and 2).

Most people in China do not think they eat cat meat.

Ouch

what kind of idiot parent lets an underage child on the internet unrestricted.

I’m 35, and I have been online pretty much unrestricted since I’m 11/12ish. But yes, I saw some shits.

Damn, I have never seen any of these shapes before.

Maps of US bases are freely available online.

Great map, however it doesn’t show any of the areas near China whereas the article clearly indicates that US has base on Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand.

I do not think fear comes into the argument, if it does, it would be the Chinese, US has China surrounded with bases. China does not have a single base any where near US.
