Civil Recovery Stores are (all states are different) allowed to go after anyone caught with civil penalty for the cost of their loss prevention measures
I can't stand the damn thing. I have a nice 6040f printer that I paid about 11k for- and under windows 7 I can't use the booklet functions via the stupid universal print driver
I make my booklets on pc #1 (windows 7, 64 bit screamer workstation) and then shuffle them to my old xp PC so I can still use the discrete driver.
taxes going straight to the governments collected over and above don't benefit the merchant directly...
(maybe in Florida, they get paid a comission to collect sales taxes I'm told)
further, these taxes and fees are applied to all equally, the original upset was the additional undisclosed costs were not applied evenly. the consumer protection in this case was deigned to treat all customers equally, either via education or once they had walked through the door.
There is a weird parallel in contract law (which technically, an ad is an offer of a contract to sell) the party that generates the contract, if there is an ambiguity in the contract- is decided in favor of the party that signed...... not the contract maker....
usa- discounts for cash are ok with all credit cards uk (and australia I think) surcharges are allowed (and need not be mentioned any farther in advance then the business fells the need/will cost them business for lack of disclosure)
in the USA you can offer discount for cash ~ there is ZERO requirement that items be equitably priced for credit cards and other forms of payment.
in the UK (and elsewhere) you can charge a surcharge for using creditcards
the "pre-history" of transactions (which you have a little wrong btw) came about because of merchants advertising a certain price for an item, and then charging more when credit card customers walked in the door, without indicating in advance a slightly higher price for credit transactions. This was deemed false advertising. What is fine is printing $XXX.xx and X% discount for cash... or two wholly separate prices, so long as the text is equal in aspects or the more prohibitive price is largest,,,,,,
"This is why credit card companies try to entice you with credit transfers to low-rate cards. This is the same as refinancing a mortgage. What it effectively does is pays off the old line of credit immediately and starts your new line of credit at the amount of the old one, with a new interest rate or whatever promotional limited time offer."
but- they don't pay off and CLOSE the old line of credit. It's not the same where it likely matters most.
when you refinance a mortgage, the old mortgage ends... when you do a credit transfer, you've got a paid off fully available line of credit in your hand...
IMO the real monopoly class violation Microsoft was guilty of was having API calls that only they knew the depth of & use of.
their in house software (Office) could do things with better integration under Windows that competitors could not because the available API spec was flawed and incomplete.
on topic yes, relevancy fails to appear (my opinion/my whole point) the post author that I bitched out started out with an on topic and ended with having added nothing but an assertion with no backing from the details shared.
if I start off telling you about me, then make a statement of opinion on topic- the personal point is excrement unless you tie the two together at the end in support of the personal details.
I'd be fine with a post opining the opportunity and niche self publishing that Amazon may or may not provide. it's just a bit of fluff.. but when you start of with a statement about personal experience- you gotta relate it.
extreme example: (note, while I do have a wife & 2 kids, the rest is fiction) I work at a steel mill. I have a wife and two children. You should vote for Obama!
fixed example: I work at a steel mill. I have a wife and two children. I think you should vote for Barack Obama. Thanks to certain trade agreements promoted by our president I expect I'll still have work for the next 5 years, and that's why I support and suggest you vote for Obama in his re-election bid.

if the original poster is a writer, then they belong on the slush pile. sorry if I ruined "sandytaru's" day- but I'm not being pedantic about spelling or grammar but about the genuine need for relevancy in the entire post.

Let me dissect your post. you wrote a novel, it was enjoyed if not accepted by professionals in the field- amazon is the way to go for such- great- now do you have an actual and on topic message to throw in or were you just being autobigraphical for the hell of it?
seriously, you raise this issue of your own experience, posit a determination of fact concerning amazon, and then don't even have an anecdote or result relevant to the entity at hand to share?
"Checking the box does not change the amount of an individual's tax or refund. The $3 is paid by the government. In other words, checking the box causes the federal government to receive $3 less in tax revenue for other spending, than if you hadn't checked the box."
"Companies like Microsoft buy tons of patents from college kids for pennies"
Please consider, no one forces them to sell?
imagine if with offer to sell in hand- they instead donate the patent to a 501c qualified free software organization and derived a tax benefit the offer to buy should stand as evidence of value.
Slashdot Mirror
Unmoderated?
Do you know what that word means?
so google settled at 500 million with the government over the books scanning.. and 500 million with the FTC over drug ads..
so right there, I've proven definitively that google is at least half as evil as microsoft in your terms?

Civil Recovery
Stores are (all states are different) allowed to go after anyone caught with civil penalty for the cost of their loss prevention measures
the amounts can readily run near a grand for items that cost well under 10... this goes directly to the merchant.

old & discontinued? it is current...
if you visit HPs website, it's the third most expensive one they list prices for.
(everything better requires a 'quote')
mines 9k (I bought the booklet maker addon for another 2,500)
they have one for 10k, and one for 12.5k
it shares a printer driver with a 99$ mono non-duplexing usb only b&w laser printer. is it any wonder I find the feature set a little lacking?

as soon as the hole is dug to the appropriate depth-- amazon will fill it in?

Ah, reminds me of a story by a certain Mr. Asimov
---This gentlemen, is Myron Aub---
imagine if it was donated to a foundation, dedicated to, I dunno, 'Free Software'
and as it began amassing donations - this 'foundation' would build a portfolio of it's own with which to wage battle, or at least defend itself...

I can pay 14.95 for dialup,
25.95 for dsl
42.95 for cable modem
64.99 for fios
or 499 for a t-1 fraction.
I choose to connect to vdio or netflix, after I pay for my connection.
