Boy, had that place changed, fine restaurants, bars, theaters, and beautiful Georgia peaches everywhere.

I recently downloaded a lot of books to my Kindle Paperwhite, unfortunately, it did a software update at the same time. After that I suddenly had a three book Kindle, because that's all I could get to of my reading list. Usually, when you hit the home icon it will show the first three books of your reading list, and then you can swipe to go through the rest of your books. Now whenever I swiped I was taken to a series of screens telling me how to use my Kindle and how wonderful it was. There seemed to be no escape from these screens, except to hit the home icon again. After many trips around the Kindle menus I finally solved the problem. Just in case anybody here runs into the same problem the solution is: home, settings, all settings, device options, advanced options, home & library, and then turn home screen view off. I had never touched this setting before, and my other Kindle that was off, and didn't receive the update still worked properly. Attention! All Kindle software design idiots! The first rule of software updates is to not break your users system with one. IDIOT, n.

The Idiot's activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but "pervades and regulates the whole." He has the last word in everything; his decision is unappealable. He sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line. The Devil's Dictionary

Maybe better worded would have been: most efficient and available for the company, not necessarily the consumer. If I have one installer that can do 6 - 8 installs in a day, every day, that's pretty efficient and available, and gives me a lot more bang for the buck. even if they're only 75% accurate. It might be efficient enough to cover the risk of having to send someone else out to fix it later, if need be.

You have to remember there was a period in the 'naughts' where banks were giving massive high-risk loans to anyone and everyone and got caught with their pants down when anyone and everyone defaulted. Think the more reputable banks are being a bit more discrete wrt credit ratings now, despite having the regs ripped away again. The less reputable banks and the new crop of smaller, legal loan sharks will still give short term, high risk loans at exorbitant rates.

Unfortunately, I now have Florida waterfront property. The water is now about 50' up on one corner of my 2 1/2 acres. It's even starting to show signs of life, waterfowl, pond skimmers, frogs, and tadpoles. Fish, gators, and otters can't be too far behind. This area is usually bone dry. According to the old timers around here, there hasn't been water there since 1998, when it stayed there for a year or so. We old Florida Crackers often make fun of people from up north that come down here and buy waterfront property at ridiculously high prices. For all you guys up north, it's a real bargain at $1,999,999.99! :>)> "A “pacifist male” is a contradiction in terms. Most self-described “pacifists” are not pacific; they simply assume false colors.

I think HughesNet has had this in the advertising for a while now. Well, it was news to me. Of course, I almost never watch TV except to watch a DVD, and that's not very often. I guess in a way I was right, we do all have soft and squishy data limits. :>)>

Any snow birds with an opinion? 🙂 From what I've seen they can work, but are often too much of a hassle. Someone (BirdDog?) brought something up during a recent discussion on this, and that was regarding the idea of having electricity going to something outdoors, unprotected, and metal. I don't relish the idea, personally. I do fine with a brush. It can be a pain, but it is what it is.

Hi folks,
We haven't heard any new complaints about the disappearing VDS act since our engineers implemented a fix, so we will consider this resolved. Our engineers really appreciate your help, and it was with your cooperation we were able to get this sorted out. If you have any other concerns, please start a new thread.

I had such great success with my emoji question I thought I'd ask another question about the message editor. :>)> I often work on the messages I post here in a Linux text editor, and then paste them into the message editor here. I sometimes like "to sleep on it" before posting. The next day upon rereading, I may make a lot of changes. or decide not to post it at all. The problem with doing this is that when pasting, most of my white space disappears, and I have to reedit the message to put the white space back. I've tried both the RTF and the HTML editors, BTW the latter eats newlines also. I just installed WINE and Windows Notepad. I had great hopes for Notepad, because it's supposed to be a RTF editor, but that didn't help either. I'm probably missing something simple. I know most people here are WIMPs ( Windows icon mouse pushers ), but I thought I'd ask anyway. Is there's a fix for this, or does the same thing occur with Windows text editors?

@MarkJFine That's one of the things I like about RetroPie on the Raspberry Pi. You can use just about any controller you like, and it automatically converts the old control inputs to what you have, and if you don't like their conversion you can change it. I mainly use an SNES like controller, as the latest games I have are SNES games. A lot of people use PS3 type controllers. I have both wired and Bluetooth, with the latter being my favorite, as I'm not tied to the machine by a cable. Still, the controller that came with the case I got is very similar to the original SNES controllers, both in feel and build quality. It only came with one, and you couldn't buy a second one, but a couple of months ago they started selling them separately. Much better than the "2 for $14.99" junk, of which I have a set. 😛

I'll make sure to let my furnace guys know of your critique the next time I see them. Now, coming back to HughesNet, do you realize how difficult and expensive it is to connect your home to the internet via satellite and keep it at a price point that the average user can afford? Doubtful. And their tech is far behind? Hardly.

@uh As well as what's already been mentioned, you can run a ping test on your computer, which will give you the latency to the server you choose, which in the example below is Google's.
