2) That's insanely creepy and way to bring this thread into a whole new level of weird. Wait that is creepy? Turn in your man card.

But that is not how file transfer works. You always make copies, it's just that when you chose to use the move function the computer automatically deletes the original file once the copy is finished. The difference between you giving your friends copies and then them deleting them after reading and moving the ebook to their computer is the time it takes for other copies to be deleted. To further explain if you chose to use the move function, the copy you moved from will be deleted almost instantly, where as if you give out a copy to your friend to read, the file will be deleted after he has finished reading it. The difference between those two is just the measurement of time between deletion. Also files are never truly deleted until you format them or overwrite the place they occupied on the hard-drive plate with another file. This is why I said letter vs. spirit. If we follow the letter of the law things would need to get really complex for you to lend a digital file with copy-write protection. The sad thing is that companies are pushing the law and tech in a direction where even sharing is forbidden. Games now days are pretty hard to share with friends.

Ah but now you are deciding what is and isn't irrelevant, you can't have it both ways. When you copy a file there will exist 2 copies until you delete one, when you move a file there will exist two copies until the computer deletes the original upon the completion of the copy. The only simple way to get around this would be to give your friend your ebook reader with the book as loan. Spirit vs the letter of the law...

When you are transferring a file there are going to be 2 copies. Following your strict rules, that makes you a pirate.

Oh did you open a can of worms with that one. How does one accomplish what you are saying? At one point in the transfer there need to exist 2 copies of the ebook. Does that mean you broke the law? See what I said above about the letter vs. the spirit of the law.

Because someone somewhere wrote that it was illegal? Have you heard about a thing called the spirit of the law?

It's essentially like buying a real book and then giving it to your friends to read it, that you can easily copy an ebook so you can all read it at the same time is just semantics. Many times have I gone half and half on a book with a friend I would read it first because I am a speed reader then give it to him after. They could always delete their copies after, if they want to follow the letter of the law. Don't get me started on school books, all of which I photocopied. No one said a word against it, not even the professor on the university who was the author of it.

How is it getting pirated, he is going to pay for it. Get of you high horse before you break your neck.

Thanks for the laugh, and just fyi it's "backups" not copies.

But wait I thought the end point of the piracy is that it hurts the author. In my example beyond the first book that the library and the pirate buy, they will not be making any more profit of that book. That the library has less books to give and the torrent has more is another issue. If the library was optimal it would have one book for everyone who wants it. Also you could always delete the book after you download it. edit: Plus there are libraries now days that offer digital books.

How about this one. How is it different to torrent a book, from going to a library and getting it for free also.

I did not actually mind it, or was against it, it was just kind of funny to me.

Brodwell-E is for sure going to be better, the question is just how much better. It's a bit iffy if they will be able to overcome the density problem. The bigger question is, should they even be trying to overcome it. As things are going now, they are just making it smaller and denser and the gains are less and less as new generations come out.

It's to do with density, the same thing happened with the 6-core processor.

Pretty certain that I will not go for Haswell-E then, so it's Devils Canyon or Broadwell if it gets a firm release date by August.

I was thinking the same thing. Buy a second hand cheap-ass Haswell and plug it in until the k versions come out.
