I would have been a little more sarcastic, it seems sort of obvious that Amazon believes that the post office ships packages in exchange for money, they probably even have a few bills or an account with them or something.
They could just tack on a fee that made the package eligible for 6 day delivery, as opposed to 5 day delivery or whatever (I'd be pretty okay with 4 day delivery, I have approximately 0 highly urgent packages and letters each year).
That directly manipulates the actual value provided.
It's pretty bullshit. They should just state the maximum number of discs they will ship, they will still have plenty of happy customers, and fewer upset customers.
Only if they are morons. They should be trying to make each disc sent profitable and trying to maximize the number of paying customers that they have, not trying to manipulate the apparent value of the service they provide.
Why do you think that coming up with the wacky idea is the valuable part? The valuable part is writing a reasonable sounding grant proposal based on the wacky idea.
Well, there you go. I've had decent luck pulling in VHF with my homemade one (7 came in better before they switched to a UHF, and I am occasionally able to pull in 13 from 60 miles).
That one has 2 'bays', they also come in 4 and 8 bay versions. It is fairly directional to begin with, and then there is a big reflector on there (which will reject signals from behind and amplify from in front...).
But your entire post is wrong. Sure, there is plenty of manipulation on the supply side, but there isn't all that much on the demand side (perhaps industry lobbying against high fuel taxes counts there, but that is hardly in keeping with your claim that prices are always manipulated up), so prices can only go so high before people walk away.
As far as BP being punished $85 billion dollars, that is because of concerns about liability, not because they are seeing a big drop in production.
What sort of 6 foot antenna? If the elements are not designed for UHF, the 6 foot part isn't going to help much.
(I have a janky 4 foot antenna that I built myself that easily pulls in signals from more than 35 miles away, but the terrain in that direction is pretty favorable)
They are doing everything they know how. That's the problem, they shouldn't have been drilling there without a hell of a lot more resources in place, maybe they shouldn't have been drilling there at all.
Being angry at BP and spinning off unrealistic scenarios about the eventual damage isn't going to clean the mess up any faster, and accurately characterizing the damage is an important step in deciding if such deep water drilling should continue to be done.

It seems fairly likely that the implementation of the regulation would require the models to be useful.
But maybe not.
Well, it's maybe a little sarcastic to say so, but to get people to pay the fee.
And round and round we go.

Much of the point of the marketplace is that it is a walled-garden.
The part where Android is different than iPhone is the part where many of the phones come with the key to the gate, there is no need to pick the lock.
Stop BEING REASONABLE.

It makes it easier for them to produce a consistent flavor. The quality of that flavor apparently is not as important.

Hells yeah, Starbucks is sure to burn the shit out of their beans.
If it costs more than $3 it isn't coffee anymore.
Most of the time, that also works for $2.
Of course, once their ESPN contract runs out, your will need PAC17-360 or whatever the hell it is going to be.
Stupid Big10 Network.
Yeah, because the Valdez spill was just as visible to the public and directly impacted just as many people. They are exactly the same.
As I said, concerns. The big debate today is whether BP will disburse their usual quarterly dividend.
If you care about it, try a bowtie antenna:

It hasn't even been 10 years yet.
If they used the money to buy me a pony, I would have used the pony. So it certainly was a waste.
The transition certainly wasn't a net waste though.
So a question: Are the miserable slowness and user-hostile interfaces of cable boxes intentional?

I buy some items at Walmart, I buy my toilet paper at another store.
Shouldn't you be upset that the records from your sex change were released?
Zing!

Many of them aren't even people, they are Floridians.
