Traction

It is regularly hauls by a Santragachi based WAP 4 / WAP 7 locomotive on its entire journey.

gollark: It was probably a bit of an afterthought, really, since they don't run too much untrusted stuff.

gollark: Slightly relatedly, Kindles are really insecure (with everything running as root) and can be jailbroken for full root access. There are some cool slightly useful unofficial kindle applications around.

gollark: The thing with *that* is that you can't encrypt them such that you can only view them on a Kindle and not copy them or whatever.

gollark: No, I mean, Amazon can't lock them to only be readable but not copyable by users. Very practically.

gollark: The trouble (for, I don't know, someone) is that you can't simultaneously make the text available to the user one way (onscreen) and not another (copying it).
