Fathers Day

I'm glad for those of you that have v(or had) them.

But some of us didn't nothing extreme or "magic" required. (This is in response to someone's LJ noting that he was pretty sure all of his readers had them and then going "....barring [list of weird and unlikely circumstances]..."

Quite simple. I was adopted as a baby by a widow. So, while Had a father in the technical sense, in the practical sense? No.

There are lots of other ways that can happen. Ones that aren't *really* all that unlikely

So enjoy the fathers you have. Or the memories.

Just try to not rub it in too bad for those who don't have that.

Bad news about the Kindle (attention kightp!!)

Seems there's a limit on how many times you can download a given book to it.

And this is why DRM (Digital Rights Management) is bad.

ETA: Some are saying it's a limit on the number of devices that you can install to

But even if that's the problem, it's still bogus because nowhere are you *told* this when you buy a book.
