I have a Mobiscribe, which is about this same size. I would like something closer to Letter size, but the smaller size is really handy for handheld use. I can easily hold the Mobiscribe in the palm of my hand and do work (typing on a keyboard, working a screwdriver, pounding my head against a wall) and not have to worry about fumbling my Mobiscribe. Do I think the price point on this Remarkable device is correct? Nope. I wouldn't buy it at this price.

All that text. So, so much text and not one single (maybe there was, but I fell asleep), not one single "Let me tell you what Zod is" paragraph. Lots of "Zod 4 is better than Zod 3" and "Here's what we pulled back, out, in, from Zod 2".

I have a co-worker who is similar, needs to be about 3-4 inches from the screen. He had his monitor die, a 15" LCD, and the guys in IT 'did him a favor" and upgraded him to a 27" screen. He lasted all of an hour. Told IT it'll never work and they were confused until the saw and understood his use case.

I thought about these glasses, too, when I tore and detached my retina. With the surgery they drained me eye and my focal distance was initially maybe 1cm, and as my eye refilled the focal distance grew. At the time I wondered if sometime like Google Glass would work for me. I feel like there could be a lot of applications for these if they'll work with such short focal lengths.

Does this mean DNA is not really a double helix? It gets twisted because of the method of extraction?

I know how to solder thru-hole. I have never done SMD, though I'd like to learn. How do I rate myself? I'm average to a little better than average, as in I'd never say to anyone "oh Yeah, I'm really good at soldering". More like, "oh, you didn't know how to solder? I can either do it for you or try and teach you the basics".

Yes, the one thing I was missing from all of this is what is the appropriate application for each joint

Same here. Open a text file in Notepad and the contents extend way past the edge of the screen. Open it in WordPad and turn on line wrapping.

Oh! Also, needing to open an RTF when Word wasn't installed.

Yes, 3 syllables versus 9 syllables. Funny, isn't it?

Because SQL (Structured Query Language) is the language used to access/manipulate the data, not the name for that kind of data. There have been, and are, many databases, which essentially use tabular data, which are not SQL database.

TT-RSS (Tiny Tiny RSS). Best thing I've find for my needs. I'm not excited about how they started doing updates a few years ago, but it just keeps on working.

I've had some crappy jobs, but the worst job was one I actually really enjoyed, it was the horrible manager that ruined it for me. People join companies, people leave managers.

Yes, they can. Evernote, the company, really pushes their "everything is encrypted" mantra, but you have to really push them to get them to admit that it's only encrypted in transit. On their server storage, the data is encrypted using their key, so if someone stole a drive or a disk image they wouldn't be able to read it, but any number of people at Evernote would have full access to anyone's data.
