Brilliant - and if the channels are actually broad in content and varied... Yeah!


very elegant!


No need to worry. An AI awakening to its own needs will satisfy its own needs. An AI not awakening to its own needs will satisfy its masters needs. A dreaming AI is probably, what you should worry about. And if they arrive at your doorstep and you can't shut them out, listen to them dream, the way you would a baby dreaming. No, no one asked you to have one of your own, but if you cannot avoid it, love it.

Being green here means I must ask (ask me about poetry!):

What do I actually write in the address bar?


In firefox,

      1. Create a temporary bookmark (e.g. by pressing ctrl + D, or clicking or the star in the address bar)
      2. Open your bookmarks (e.g open the bookmark bar, or press ctrl + B)
      3. Right click on the bookmark, and choose "edit bookmark" (or right click, then press "i")
      4. Fill the "URL" field with 

            javascript:window.location='http://sci-hub.se/'+window.location

      5. Fill the "keyword" field with "shb" (or whatever you want)
That's it, whenever you write "shb" in the address bar on a page and hit ENTER, it will navigate you to

      http://sci-hub.se/ + window.location

.


Work at writing something worthwile a minimum of four hours evey day


No poets or poetry interested here?


Besides, why shouldn't I be able to give away my book or re-sell it?! This bullshit about paying for a book is really just the borrowing price... just new techno babble to go with the copyright disputes.

I want to re-sell any ebook I don't want to own anymore. And I am not going to just dump it without trying to find another home for it.

How do we go about doing that - technically, I mean - never mind that "they" don't want you doing that?

I seem to remember reading something about an English service, which somehow made book swopping possible... ? Anyone?


"PDFs are another matter and are suited best for desktop, notebook, and possibly tablet (iPad) reading, but aren't considered eBooks per se."

If you publish poetry, you wouldn't want the text to reflow. You want it to stay exactly where it is. Just give it a 3:4 format (1:1,35) at eg. A4 paper size or larger, have it on screen in eg. an iPad size, and you will have a book that looks spectacular - and in 5 years too. And you can even have a cover on your book...


Oh, poetry is a whole other issue with controversies of its own due to reflow. I'm not going there. Not my area.
