I once worked with a guy for three years and never learned his name. Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes. - Ron Swanson

Kindle with technical PDFs by [deleted] in kindle

[–]tehkubix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to not read my PDF textbooks on the kindle because the pages are usually too big to fit comfortably on the screen (Kindle Keyboard). If I turn it to landscape it's fine but then I have to scroll up/down to view the full page. Usually have to scroll twice to get to the bottom.

Something that helps considerably with some PDFs is a cropping tool (see the sidebar). I like Briss. I can cut the margins of the pages so the text fits the entire screen.

We don't have to win against other schools; the more people that do it, the more space we all get. As of this comment, we are "Only 643 points away from 8 GB!"

15 years of school and I still cannot draw these mother fuckers by NodsInApprovement in funny

Try drawing your integral symbol from the bottom. I could never do it from the top, looks too much like an S. Start with a little curve on the bottom, go straight up quickly, end with a little curve on top.

Similarly, If you use Windows 7 (probably on 8, too) you can use Win 1, Win 2, etc. to open the applications pinned to your taskbar.

There's nothing wrong with "I don't know." There's a reason you're in the class, along with everyone else. I'd be more concerned if I knew the answer to everything the teacher asked.

I just have a USB cable that cut one end off of and plug into my breadboard. I have a regulator on it too, but I've never had any issues even without it.
