Don't Take Notes In the Bookstore
mikesd81 writes "The Harvard Crimson reports that the Harvard Coop asked Jarret A. Zafran to leave the store after writing down the prices of six books required for a junior Social Studies tutorial. The apparent new policy could be a response to Crimsonreading.org, an online database that allows students to find the books they need for each course at discounted prices from several online booksellers. The Coop claims the ISBN identification numbers in books are their intellectual property. Crimson Reading disagrees. 'We don't think the Coop owns copyright on this information that should be available to students,' said Tom D. Hadfield, co-creator of the site. The student paper reports that an unnamed intellectual property lawyer agreed with Crimson Reading's position."
Are you one of those people that blame all the problems of the world on one person? I hate those people. All the problems in the world are their fault. Too harsh? Maybe, but people like you really tick me off.
When I was tasered for security training (this is what it's like to be hit by your own deterrent) I emitted a very loud "Yeeeaaaaahh Hooooo!" And involuntarily punched the instructor.
I'm a two-time veteran of the Teething Wars.
Oragel, son. Oragel. Ambesol if you can't find that. Get the overnight strength, even though it doesn't last overnight. Your daughter will love you for it. You can also use some acetaminophen for overnight use, as it will last a little longer.
So to review:
1. Ambesol or Oragel for instant relief.
2. Acetaminophen for long-term pain relief.
