I wasn't explicitly, but in the UK, it sells for the equivalent of $360 and in France it sells for the equivalent of more than $300(I used Amazon.uk for the UK but I can't find a good price for the Euro zone), both of which more than account for a 17% tax.
You might as well have said "language evangelist" there, there is nothing particularly unique about python evangelists. I get the sense that there is satisfaction in having other people confirm their choice of language, rather than satisfaction in using a tool that works well for them.
I got the impression at some point that CDMA has better range, so the companies could reuse the leases for analog towers for CDMA, whereas they needed to acquire more leases for GSM...
It's the issue being talked about in the first paragraph of the post I replied to.
I use a carrier that doesn't require a contract and builds the fees into their monthly and per minute charges, so guess what, I do mind people tacking on an extra 5-20% onto monthly bills, and I don't do business with them where I can avoid it.
The CDMA GSM split has nothing to do with GSM being 'new' here. CDMA worked better as a retrofit, so Sprint, Verizon and Alltel were able to build bigger networks for less money than AT&T, Cingular and T-Mobile (And T-Mobile promptly gave up, exacerbating the situation).
The spin-your-partner-round-and-round is that TDMA (which sits under the original GSM) is going away and GSM is headed towards a CDMA carrier.
Population density over large areas isn't particularly relevant (No one cares all that much if their phone works in west Texas, except probably west Texans). Customers per infrastructure dollar is a lot more interesting, and it explains why areas with high population densities have much better service. In that context, the highly urbanized United States provides plenty of high customer density areas that should stimulate competition; clearly, our regulation is not customer oriented.
I've had nothing but great customer service from American Express (and I have barely needed it over quite a few years), and the people that I have dealt with for ETrade (go with Ameritrade for a discount broker, they have more consistent pricing, or just go with Vanguard or Fidelity) have clearly been in India much of the time, but they have been competent and I didn't have any trouble understanding them. The people I have dealt with for both Geico and Ameriprise were helpful and competent.
A lot of it sucks, but there are companies that are somewhat better.
If $10 a month and $120 a year are going to make or break your finances, you can't afford a $40 cell phone plan let alone a $75 dollar plan. You can probably manage to pay for it, but you can't afford it.
Personally, I'm amazed that enough people who aren't planning on committing fraud actually sign up for and pay the insurance. Everyone I have ever heard of paying for it used it to get new phones on an accelerated schedule.
"This question has been deleted" is surprisingly poisonous for a company the size of Yahoo!. It's like they want everyone to know that they are rotting from the inside out or whatever.
(I wouldn't take issue with it except I have been searching for information about the context with which people view various topics and those searches lead to dead Yahoo! answers pages more often than they should)
I agree that Nintendo can't raise production immediately in response to an increase in price. The point is that there is nothing about 'market' economics that would require them to (it is implied that they would, but the reason would be self interest, so other self interests are sufficient counters).

You sir have given hope to many a legion who merely thought that their minds were in the gutter.
They are doing it for about a month. Very few people are going to buy an extra car just to be able to drive for 15 days.
Doctors have been able to fix loose face for years now.
You have now offended the fates. Clearly it will happen.
The bigger issue might be that coral have had billions of years to adapt to a wider variety of climates and have not yet done so.
You start.
I didn't read your comment, but you should never, ever let anyone ship you in a cardboard box against your will.

Not if you have anything to say about it.
People would be better if they were more like wood and you could sand them smooth.
Also, squirrels; there's a cheerful bunch if I ever saw one.

Twitter would like to hire you, so that they can go on to fire you.
I think that makes your father's cousin a raving loony, and the ones who convinced him a little richer...perhaps unfortunately.

Insurance doesn't in any way resemble a fee.
Personally, I'm amazed that enough people who aren't planning on committing fraud actually sign up for and pay the insurance. Everyone I have ever heard of paying for it used it to get new phones on an accelerated schedule.

"good for everyone" implies that you meant that "getting people to learn better grammar" is an activity that most people should engage in. Neato.
Did you mean that it benefits everyone?

Introducing new copies into the system lowers the cost of obtaining those games...freeing up capital for the purchase of other games.
