Sometimes, though, I don't know how Amazon got the price they give and make a profit.
If you buy 5000 of something, they tend to give quite large discounts. When I was working as a pharmacist an antibiotic listing as X, would only cost X-80% if you bought a large quantity. Same as in hospitals. They would buy a brand name drug and use it as their generic because the price was so low.
You don't think the latest version of GTA actually costs ~ $60 to manufacture do you?
I'm an Amazon seller, located in NY. I do a pretty good business selling books and small electronics. My rating is 100% and Amazon doesn't charge for listing items (as eBay does) they do take a small commission when the item is sold. No sales tax, and I treat my customers well. I have to because if I don't they bitch quite loudly
Don't get me wrong. I agree with you, but what burns my ass is American's who do go to a foreign country and EXPECT and DEMAND that EVERYONE speak English. The ones who think that if they speak slowly and loudly enough they will make themselves understood, and when they come home expect visitors and immigrants to know and learn English because this is America damn it.
I speak English, Polish, Spanish, get by in French, and Yiddish (and I'm not Jewish), can make myself understood in Russian (Slavic roots and all that)
Lazy sod! Most Europeans (including the British) speak more than 1 language and find Americans rather juvenile in their belief that everyone should speak American.
I have a left master eye also. I always wonder about this being right handed and never really being physically coordinated. When I went to grade school I think the good nuns forced me to use my right hand even though I may have been born left handed (remember the left hand being sinister=evil)
I'm a pharmacist and right handed. I put the phone to my left ear because I have to write with my right hand, doctor's orders, patients calling for refills, etc. I'm pretty sure I'm a left brained person (if such a thing exists).
Perhaps, if you didn't buy that fancy laptop, and all those gadgets that would amaze your parents generation, you'd have enough money to buy that house or have that child.
I am not in your parent's generation, but I did without certain things so that I could buy a house in my 20's. I even had a part time 2nd job.
I subscribe to a couple of magazines and they must be sharing my email address because I'm being inundated each day with subscription offers for other magazines. Yes, they are hurting bad.
Well, humorous as "The Thing" reference was meant to be, one has to wonder how controlled the lab environment was when this thing was discovered passing thru filters.
And the fact that a bug not seen in 102,000 years is known not to be a pathogen (when virtually NOTHING else is known about it) seems of little comfort.
A car that will never sell anywhere in the US due to total inability to pass crash safety test. I'm actually surprised that it can be sold anywhere in the first world, to be honest.
This of course is YOUR opinion. The smart car which is marginally bigger has an excellent crash rating. Most people of residing in Japan ride around in cars this size all the time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_car
You see, the problem with opinions is that like assholes, everyone has one.
When my kids were in grade school, they were sort of introduced to calculus in the second grade (in the 70's) by a very progressive teacher (a nun no less). She also taught other things like using an abacus. When they were in college they didn't breeze through it, but had a much easier time because they knew the basic concepts. Sort of like a child learning languages at a very early age. Sigh, Sr. Marianne, I wish you taught me in 2nd grade.

Yes, it's very difficult to learn a language if you're in the closet, so come out,come ot whatever you are.

There is a reason it's called knee jerk reaction. It has a lot to do with that second word.
Are you suggesting that killing in the Coliseum is directly related to FPS games, and that is leading to our moral downfall?
I've got to ask, are you nuts?

Its a bacteria. What viruses live inside it?
What could Possibly Go Wrong here?
Because that's whaythey want you to believe!

I'm never going to use it.
Why am I required to study it
Because of the same reasons trig, geometry,algebra, ancient history, lit etc., etc. are required
