I have to say, that looks pretty damn cool. Awesome job!

[quote who="Jafo" reply="11" id="3212874"]Leo... My wife's eyesight is such that the font she uses flattens a Kindle battery in a day...so many page turns...so adding a light is definitely a no go...[/quote] Ah, bummer. Does she turn off the wifi/3g connection while reading? That actually increases battery life significantly.

If you like Kindles and want one lighted lighted, I highly recommend this cover: http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-Touch-Lighted-Leather/dp/B004SD2562/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1345817166&sr=8-7&keywords=kindle+book+cover+with+light I have it on my Kindle Touch 3g and love, love, love it. It uses the

Yep, found out it is just not listed anywhere. The slot does open immediately though.

Arghh! Is there any chance caravans can be removed, or at least make them not take up vital road spots unless you are at war with them. It sucks so bad having to go around caravans on my own roads.

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="18" id="3209995"] This year I'm voting for who I think is the right guy.[/quote] Yep, I've gone down that road. Feel much better while voting, certainly doesn't help in the morning. It IS the only way someone from the middle will get elected though, if the middle votes ever start inching higher, more people may actually vote that way. Most now are too worried about as you say "wasting your vote." Sad, and aggravating.

"I’m fiscally conservative, socially liberal. Libertarian generally." I swear this represents me and most of the people I hang with, but damn, I don't think we'll ever see a politician elected to a major office along that line. [e digicons]:annoyed:[/e]

Got to my selection for level 3 in a conclave town. And selected Oracle (now allows +1 to Essence). Doesn't seem to want to show up in my town, or as a building to build in that town. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

I'm liking 2 PM PST, right before I leave work, so I won't be able to play here. And have stuff to do once I get home, so the fact that it is available and I can't play will be annoying. So yeah, that sounds about right.

*MR BURNS VOICE* Release the hounds, err, uhh, beta4. What, Paxton said no beta yet, who is the Paxton chap? *SMITHERS* He's a drone in the Stardock sector, sir. *MR BURNS* Paxton, eh, bring him to ME! In all seriousness, looks great guys, CAN'T wait to give it a try! edit: OH and by the way.... " Lowered the electoral count of Wisconsin" You bastards! :) </p

You aren't trying to use Impulse are you? I know this may sound like a stupid question, but many people along the way have made this mistake, so I'm just throwing it out there.

To answer the main question. Yes, I read e-books. A lot! About 90% of the time on my kindle touch. A bit here and there on iPad/iPhone, but only for short reading sessions. Or if it's fantasy and it has maps, then I'll download to both my iPad and Kindle, so I can view maps on the iPad and read on the Kindle, it's kind of nice leaving the iPad set right at the map(s) page(s) and being able to reference quickly.

[quote who="Phoon" reply="2" id="3205361"] So much so I was thinking of taking a bunch of my Windows 7 customization articles that are popular and formatting them into an ebook to reach an even bigger audience. So what tool or app would you use to format them to kindle format? I've sent pdfs to my kindle fire and they work ok but aren't nearly as readable as something in kindle format.[/quote] Should be able to use Calibre to do that.

[quote who="Trojasmic" reply="43" id="3205320"] Quoting Heavenfall, reply 33Frogboy programs the game's AI. It is crucial that he understands how to optimize his own gameplay, in order to optimize the AI's. This is not a case of one player trying to one-up another player. This is a case of the AI developer making obvious mistakes which are then repeated by the game's AI. You see Frogboy moving all his units poorly in the tactical battle? And does that remind you of how the AI

[quote who="Jythier" reply="342" id="3203916"] Quoting taltamir, reply 339 And you did sell impulse to Gamestop! understandable due to the financial hardship at the time. But I wouldn't trust gamestop as far as I could throw them That's why I trust babies. I can throw them pretty far.[/quote] Especially when you hold em by the leg and swing around like the hammer toss. ;)

[quote who="Wizard1956" reply="14" id="3203853"] Quoting Island Dog, reply 11Windows 8 will be shipping with millions of new PC's starting soon. I predict very lackluster sales of new rigs, unless the retailers are willing and able to put Windows 7 on them on request. That, or old stock(with 7 installed) will fly off the shelves while new units gather dust.[/quote] Agreed, let's not forget how many major PC sellers were still loading XP on new

[quote who="mqpiffle" reply="1" id="3200930"]I'm especially liking the new look of the spellbook.[/quote] Agreed the spellbook looks terrific. Think I'm going to like the automatic north south orientation also.

[quote who="LORD-ORION" reply="35" id="3200845"]What makes me angry is that they lock you out of your games UNTIL you accept the new EULA. That is a load of Grade A BS.[/quote] Seems like a new EULA should only apply to games bought after the new EULA was implemented, anything else should be grandfathered back to particular version of the EULA that you agreed to during purchase. So, yeah totally Grade A.

Think the last half of the title was the main point. To paraphrase..... how about a new video to tide us over.

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="26" id="3193869"]You missed my point--they avoided other problems that were service related basically saying, "Well since you say you are using a router, we won't help there either." You also didn't understand me--I wasn't having a "network" problem...the modem wasn't working. But because when asked I said, "Yes I have a router" the "service" ended. They can ask me to disconnect the router and then troubleshoot my connection till it works--but tha

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="16" id="3193583"]Charter for a couple of years or more offered (and still does) a "wireless package" where for $15 a month extra they would offer support in connecting your router (their's actually unless you bought the model they offered yourself). What that translated into was when you made a service call for ANY reason, the first question was, "Do you have a wirless router attached?". Followed by, "Do you want to purchase our router plan?" and ending with,

The charter techs in our area have definitely been better in the last 2-3 years. The customer support people... not so much. That is always a crap shoot whether or not you get a decent one. Good thing is I have very rarely had a problem with my internet. I think twice in ~ 10 years now. Once was an actual bad modem, which was a bummer because I had been on the original free modem from when I started broadband during their original rollout of that service in my area. The other was not long aft

I think True strike is a bow technique isn't it? Try equipping a bow and see if you have it.
