I read books on my phone, and also on a couple of cheap Android tablets -- one hangs out on a stand over my bed, and the other floats around the house. They're all sync'ed by KOreader, which is nice.

The article: "Took on $1.4B in debt ($14k per capita)" The reality: 100,000 citizens, 1.4B: $140K per capita. It did not pass the smell test that there was a city of 1 million people in the US that I had never heard of.

You can start a software business from your bedroom with no external funding, no qualifications, and build things that people want enough to pay for. But if you try that with radioactive power sources, the Department of Energy will shut you

Excepting a General Resolution or a Policy violation, every accredited Debian Developer can do whatever the heck they feel like in their own packages. This can pose problems. Boccasi steamrollered, but relatively politely.
