Is there an e-book reader that comfortably displays PDFs made by scanning type (i.e., PDFs that are images and don't have plain text data)?

Where no economist had gone before
. Paul Krugman posts a type-written paper on interstellar trade which he wrote as "an oppressed assistant professor" in the '70s.
I do not propose to develop a theory which is universally valid, but it may at least have some galactic relevance. [

Find me the Fantastic Plastic Machine arrangement of "Get me to the church on time" (or whatever it's called) from My Fair Lady, featured in the

Keep on Shrugging:
apparently the
planned film of Ayn Rand's much-beloved
Atlas Shrugged -- a chief vehicle for her philosophy "Objectivism" -- is moving ahead. It's now planned as a trilogy and has
a studio, a (draft) script, funding, and (tentatively) Angelina Jolie as Dagny Taggart (the star) --
she's apparently a big fan. For background, here's the
Objectivism Mockery links page, including the brilliant, now-vanished "Objectifism."

A9 gets MS?
Amazon's search tool / portal, formerly powered by Google, is now using Microsoft's
Windows Live search service. I first noticed when my image results went missing (which sucks, but I still use it for the
incentive program). Does this mean MS is shifting out of the half-assery phase of its search strategy? What happens when its
adCenter keyword program opens up? [

Tinfoilhatfilter: There seem to be several designs for DIY RFID-blocking (read: duct-tape-and-foil) wallets (
e.g.). Is there a comparable product available for purchase pre-made (preferably more elegant- / conventional-looking)?

How is life
for
accused war criminals (see e.g. drag-down list at top) awaiting trial at the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia? Stimulating if they enjoy chess or model ships, according to this brief Slate dispatch. How well do such alleged monsters need to be accommodated?
