I keep my wireless off......don't want Bezos's sneaking round on my Kindle.

Mine is 2.3.3 currently.... guess I never got 2.5

And I'm not upgrading until I know the new DRM is cracked!

Okay is it reeaaallllyy that hard to go back to school? It's not about filling out an application with an outrageous fee, no no no. It's about talking to 8 different people that won't talk to you until you fill out an application. Then when you fill out the application the next 8 people won't talk to you until you've been accepted.

BUT

they won't process the application w/o your transcripts. Go and get your transcripts, right? NO. Fill out an application to request your transcripts and sometime before retirement at your dead-end job they will call you and tell you they are ready. That doesn't include paying $5 per copy at the other school you went to.

And this is allllllllll before financial aid, folks. I really thought about just saying piss on school and keeping my dead-end job. Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AH! I lived that two years ago! I went through a dozen of hoops, passed exams, found old grade reports of another uni I went to, and even from high school, then was told to wait. A week before school was scheduled to start I still had had no news. I took a day off, went to my old college to get my grade report from there - it was not required, but at this point I would've given them my bank statements - then brought the document to the uni I wanted to go to, where I was told that I was already accepted and I need to show up to a preparation reunion the following day I actually received the letter annoucing my acceptation A WHOLE MONTH after the semester started :rant:

Anywho, don't despair, you'll be glad you took the plunge! Courage!

I think there was a 2.5 before the 2.5.5 that is going out now.


hmmm, maybe not but here's a page on 2.5:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=200324680

doesn't seem to say anything about drm changes.

Ohhhh... so that's why I'm suddenly certain that I'm a best-selling author?? Well, I think my current pay should stretch to next Tuesday, given that I told my boss to roger off now that I don't (won't?) need him anymore...

Did that help any?

If not, have some chocolate and a hug, and some alcohol.

Vegetarians are unAustralian because they don't eat lamb.

Yep, lamb.

If you don't eat kangaroo, no one calls you unAustralian.

Dumb ads on TV. I'd go hunt up the TV ads in question (from the Lamb Council or some such body), but I detest the person in it with such passion that it would spoil my morning...
