Authors Guild To Members: De-link Amazon.com
theodp writes: "Angered by Amazon.com's practice of offering [prominently placed] used editions of relatively new titles, the Authors Guild is urging authors to replace Amazon.com links on their web sites with links to Barnesandnoble.com and BookSense.com.
Amazon spokesperson Patty Smith insisted the policy really "ends up helping authors and publishers" although neither the author nor the publisher receives royalties from Amazon's used book sales, and Smith could not cite an author or genre helped by the availability of used editions.
" CD: I'd imagine they don't want us to go to our local used book stores either? This is the second time they've tried to call Amazon to task for this.
DS9 fucking slays... hail the prophets...

I am working on a solution for linux/unix.
Tell these trolls at Slashdot that you don't want their ads! And their content sucks!
In addition, as far as Holocaust deniers go, any publicity is good publicity, and anybody who buys a piece of Holocaust denial propaganda - whether new or secondhand - is an additional 'convert' to the cause - as far as deniers are concerned, most don't care whether one believes them or not - a new reader is potentially a new supporter... also, deniers cite often that anybody interested in their stuff must be positively inclined towards it - just check out what they write about their web page hits...
I heard that your library burnt down and destroyed your only two books - and one was not even coloured in yet.
Its a absolute concrete fact that no people were exterminated on german soil in death camps.
:
And it has been proven that at many camps the stories and lies about the exterminations reached crazy proportions.
Its easyt to deny the LIE of 6 million jews killed.
because lies are easy to denounce and refute.
maybe a couple million perished, but not 6 million.
Why cant you rad for one hour than remark. I dare you to spend 60 minutes reading these facts
http://www.zundelsite.org/101.html
I am sure you heard of
www.zundelsite.org
its owners have been persecuted by jews and snipers and would be murderers ccountless times.
They risk their lives for the truth.
The simple truth that it is easy to deny the falsities about the Holocaust.
The funniest info (dont know if its on their site) is that the LA Holocaust museum used to show photos of bodies of people that died from infectious diseases and tried to give impression that these sad souls died deliberately rather than from natural causes (disease epidemic).
To be honest, I've never looked into the details enough, but I believe there to be a lot of evidence supporting the view that it happened; certainly the Jews were persecuted by the Nazi regime in the 30s.
In any event, even if it didn't happen, it should still serve as a warning against extremist views.

The entire premise that linux is 'revolutionary', and that it will someday supplant the Beast of Redmond as the desktop OS of choice is entirely flawed. The linux craze was a creation by stock market speculators, brokerage houses, and venture capitalists. Their purpose was to pump up the valuations of certain linux-oriented corporations. When their valuations were sufficiently high they dumped their shares and made obscene profits.
The sad thing was the number of highly intelligent people who were swept up in this fraud. I have several friends, respected and published scientists, who put a lot of money in these stocks, and subsequently lost a lot of money. Now that H. Blodgett is being investigated for his role in some of these pump and dump schemes, I wonder how long it will be before the investigation reaches to the upper echelon's of today's linux-biz powerhouses.
Many of you are slow to wake up to this fact, and wishing that that is wasn't true only proves your gullibility. The truth is obvious in light of these facts. Linux is a fraud. If we look back with an objective eye, it's obvious. Everybody now knows that you can't make a fortune by selling something that can be got for free. I'm referring to downloadable ISO's. I went out and bought my 1st distro for something like $40. But then as soon as I learned you could just burn a copy of the latest distro., I never paid again. Ony a fool would, and thus selling distros is a business catering to fools. That is the heart and truth of the linux-biz, it's a business catering to fools.
As far as a tool for doing computer science, networking, research, programming, testing, etc. it's a spectacular success. I think that is all that it was ever meant to be, and all that it will ever be. If you know someone who is a linux advocate, please bitch slap them, because they should have known better.
It did happen. If you want to get an idea of the enormity of what happened, you can learn some of the basics by visiting Yad VaShem's website or by reading Guido Knopp's "Hitler's Holocaust", or by watching Claude Lanzmann's "Shoah". You may also want to read some of the artistic responses to the Holocaust, which will in many ways provide a clearer, starker, insight into what happened. You could read "Maus", by Art Spiegelman, "The Drowned and the Saved" by Primo Levi, or "The Last of the Just" by Andre Schwarz-Bart. Each of these last three is a profound work of art, and deserves a wider audience.
