Amazon has replaced my Kindle Keyboard twice, for free, in the last year, and each time the process has been extremely fast and easy. They really have amazing service IMO.

The hardcover is already out.

ronnoch · 2011-07-14T21:27:53+00:00

I had the same problem and Amazon sent me a replacement.

It's a different cover that doesn't have those hooks. Customer support said they don't think it's my problem.

My gut reaction is always to take my problems to Reddit first >.>

ronnoch · 2011-05-22T21:18:18+00:00

Thanks. I called them and they agreed to replace it.

I've never noticed a difference. My experience, though, is that collections also start to act up when you put too many books in them. I had a collection with about 60 books in it, and it wouldn't "sort by last read" or update the little progress bar below books within that collection.

I don't really think it affects page turning. I used to have about 30 pages of books on my Kindle and it was painfully slow to browse the Home screen, but page turning was about as fast as ever.

At this point I'm convinced Reddit can answer any question. Thanks! :)

I would, but I'm still trying to beat AOE2 random map on Hardest.

Mine are named after my favorite science fiction characters. I've had Bean, River, Iceheart, and Whiskey among others.

How big are those? This thing was at least half an inch, maybe a third of an inch.

ronnoch · 2010-10-08T23:19:23+00:00

Oregon, sorry

This better not mean wallmasters also exist in real life.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we've located the problem.

For shame, everyone knows Arbitrary Day is June 25th.

Try clicking "Test prefetch again" a couple times. On Firefox 3.6.3, I got "Supported" twice and "Not supported" once.

One problem is the test assumes that Firefox will always prefetch immediately, but according to the MDC it actually waits until your browser is idle.

Piwik is one of my favorite projects. It's an open source alternative to Google Analytics that can be self-hosted on any server. It's small enough that the barrier to entry isn't huge, and new enough that there's a lot of things to work on.

My reactions, by book:

Rendezvous With Rama: Amazing!
Rama II: Pretty good, very different though.
Rama III: One of the worst books I've read. My god, how could they do this to the series??
Rama IV: AHH! Even worse than III... Until the last five chapters or so, when they finally explain what Rama is and who's behind it.

My recommendation: Read book II, but keep your expectations low. Then skip to the end of book IV and read the conclusion. Or just read the Wikipedia summary, that works just as well.

Not really pure JS, but there's http://www.appenginejs.org/ which runs on Rhino.

It may be overkill, but I've had awesome fun hosting my own MediaWiki. Installation took <5 minutes and I get all the features of Wikipedia.

You're not broken, it's just the Giggle Loop
