Same reason a lot of the motorcycle/auto forums love Harbor Freight's cheap Chinese shit: it's cheap. Why pay $90 for a properly-made thing that'll last for years when you can pay $9 for something you may only need to use once?
What gets me is there are plenty of books by authors who are DEAD that are priced as if they were new best sellers.
Dashiell Hammet and Raymond Chandler, for instance.
Ugh, don't get me started. The Philip K. Dick reprints of the 90s pissed me off: $13 for books I was finding used for $3. Same with all the "Fletch" books, but thankfully those I've been finding in overstock shops for $7 instead of $14 for new.

Thanks, Safari Reader!
You mean the 1977 animated movie? That came out more than 20 years ago.
Also, fuck Saul Zaentz.
All of the above. Especially the last one.
Typical government inefficiency!
Have you been watching "Runaway" again?
It's clocks all the way down...
You would say that, Mr. Coward!

You speak French!
It does tend to burn rather well.
Going to the moon was a hardware problem. This is software, and much more difficult.
Thank you, George W. Bush. It didn't seem to worry anyone for a few decades before.
What the fuck is a "virii"?
To be called a dumbass he'd have to be edited into Star Trek movies.
He could upload an EDL to pastebin with no violation.
Did you just call him a romosexual?
Or just not drive drunk in the first place.
We already have preventative, holistic health care in the West. Have for decades. People are simply too lazy or arrogant to change themselves.
Keeping tabs on how mail emails you've written over your lifetime is fucking pointless.

Typos are errors and should be corrected. I seriously doubt they are the author's intention as you claim.
Who decides? The Editor should. That's their job. If they feel the report is ambiguous, they can ask the author.
I find typos and whatnot in mass market paperbacks. It's the nature of the business from the looks of it.
So would that mean that it's sucking down 100% of the electrons that are coming down the wire? Man, think of your power bill!
And a salahamada to you as well on this glorious day!
(Seems that if you are over 30 and have a Facebook account, it calls into question your maturity anyway, no need to actually look at your profile.)
That's a pretty fucking stupid thing to say.
The Human League, Def Leppard, Heaven 17, ABC, Cabaret Voltaire and Pulp rejoice!
