If they will buy, then others will sell.
This is indicative as much of the market as it is of the inventor...
Unless, of course, if flops, which it won't, then it would show the inventor to be the heartless dolt that I (... and I hazard to say "we") believe him/her to be.
Agreed. Over the last couple years, I've bought more books through Amazon than in a brick-n-mortar bookstore, and have had ZERO problems with them... everything has been shipped on or before the expected date, and only ONCE have I gotten any mail, and that was quickly rectified as I realized I'd left that little box unchecked.
"'We believe the Heath shooter was influenced by the movies he watched, the computer games he played and the [sexually violent] Internet sites he visited,' Sabrina Steger, Kayce's mother, told reporters."
We... SURE he was! Everything influences us to some degree or another, but you don't go KILLING people unless you're FAR more screwed up than a couple movies, a couple video games, and a few porn sites can possibly explain! You are not led to acts of real-world violence b/c of these things, they only show you how to do what you ALREADY wanted to do in the FIRST place!
Jesus Christ what a waste of valuable court time and money. As for me, I DO feel sorrow for the loss of these parents, but it's greatly tempered by their short-sightedness, hubris, and their misguided attempts to lash out to hurt those they perceive as hurting themselves... as they said:
"We intend to hurt Hollywood. We intend to hurt the video game industry. We intend to hurt sex porn sites"...
They don't want people to learn, they want (the WRONG people) people to pay. BIG difference.
Who should pay for this? Who is responsible? THE DAMN KID WITH THE DAMN GUN!!! Throw a bit of responsibility on his presumably delinquent PARENTS (though I don't know their story) and we're ready to hit the road!
The article says "A single 1.44 megabyte floppy disk can hold an entire book with room to spare; a terabyte hard drive could hold a library with at least one million titles." meaning that currently, this is true. I thought the same thing at first myself, then reread it.
