I'm an Avengers nerd, and I really like the cartoons. I've got the DVDs for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but there don't seem to be full run DVDs of Avengers Assemble. However, the episodes and seasons are available online, from Amazon, iTunes, and Vudu. My question: there are options to own those episodes. Does that mean "own", as in I can download them to my computer, or "own", as in I can pull them up online as long as one of those services is willing to host it but then I'm SOL? And if I can download them, is it a situation where Amazon or whomever can ping my computer an erase them when they've decided I've owned them long enough?
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Teacher and librarian types - book suggestions for a 15yo boy who reads below grade level and does not like to read. I am looking at lots of lists online for ideas, but thought I'd ask.

some interest in comics, but he can do that on his own time. This summer is my way.

In other news, I'm taking Thursday & Friday off. I have a red eye flight to the East Coast departing 11:59pm on Wednesday, so I'm going to work from home tomorrow to make it easier on myself. I'm very much looking forward to 5 consecutive days of no work.

Home and off the work network. I really should've taken some aspirin before I went in.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Connie, I believe you "own" them in the sense that you have the right to access them as often as you want from Amazon's cloud server. You don't download them. This is supposedly an advantage, in that you don't have to use your own space to store them.
