>>34Ever heard of OCR? It not, you have a lot to learn as a programmer.
If two seconds means so much to you, why are reading?
2 seconds in a multi-page book means lots of seconds. I know I have X amount of years to live, and I don't want to waste them flipping pages when I can hit a key.
You remind me of speed-`readers' who claim to be able to read a book in minutes but absorb absolutely nothing from it.
Then you need to stop stereotyping fast readers, and start optimizing your reading efficiency. I've understood your position from your first post, and replied back with objections. Insults does provide insight into debates.
Human being are not computers, you autist.
But they can optimize themselves to read faster, and keep better libraries that last both your lifetimes, and those that reuse your library.
Two seconds should mean nothing.
Compiled it does. Also, all humans have different lifespans. I'd rather not waste them buying physical books, reshipping them, and flipping their moldy pages. With an copied e-book, I can mass copy the file for people to use anywhere there's an internet connection, or just sneakernet a simple SSD than a 20kg book. There's also these little nice devices called SD cards that only cost a lunch, which weight ~2g, of which I can send by letter mail, than a crate of books.
Even over the largest of books, compared to the time you should spend actually reading, it is a rounding error.
Are you forgetting the expense of carrying those buggers? The calories, time, and re-shelving space required of them, when compared to a simple media storage device that one can take with on a purse, or undergarments? Storage device can be taken virtually everywhere, even underwater, and read the material as one travels. With a book, I have to hope the weather is nice enough not to ruin it, and hope to the gods no one bumps into me while carrying the heavy thing. With my UMPC, it drops, and everything else is still intact. It can even get wet~
Reading apprehension is up to the reader. The medium in which the knowledge is distributed does not affect in the slightest how a reader will understand the material, and retain it.
Summary:
• Digital Content ≫ Physical
• Reader Apprehension: Depends the reader, not the medium
• OCR EXISTS! And it should ALWAYS be used.
• To save both time and money, i.e. not help Jews, go digital. SSD and Quarts Devices recommended.
• There are lots of resources on this topic! Be sure to use them all, esp. before you begin a discussion!
• We all don't have the time and resources to keep wasting more paper and ink on bloody books, when anyone can take lasered or photgraphic images of books, or support the text/LaTeX/PS/DjVu versions. Goes with the Jew thing.
And above all, take criticism. It's only meant to improve you, not withdraw from society because you did not take the fullest advantage of an opportunity. Yes, I initially ridiculed your action, but not your person. If you cannot learn from others and hold discussions, how will you hope to use your knowledge for what your studying for? Is what your studying requiring of at the least another to bear fruit of the knowledge? Or is what your reading only for your enlightenment and satisfaction?
I was told at a young age, to respect my neighbor, and shun misdeeds. For I know that it is my neighbor that will help in labour to bear any fruit. That includes an open digital library, that people can find knowledge, in the hopes to muster a more educated society.
IoW: Stop telling people to leave, and just discussion the issues. You will learn, and provide, for better things, than defaulting to insult fights.
I got weeks to live, and I hope my knowledge can be used for future Anons, in hope they will stop incessant wasting of their time: their most precious resource to date.
