If he gave away the first 3 chapters? Sure. If it had good reviews? Hell yes.
$0.99 is a reasonable price for an ebook. They are low value items as they cannot be resold, and don't look impressive on my shelves. When you cut out the middlemen and have very low distribution costs, why should it cost anymore? Paying more than a few dollars for one is madness.
These restaurants already require minimum purchase amounts and exclude things like alcohol. If they can't make money with that nothing will help them. The restaurant needs factor those sorts of things in and the conversion rate as well. Groupon will indeed then offer poorer deals, its apparent value is absurdly high anyway.
Users save money when they purchase something they would have bought at full price otherwise. Partners get a guaranteed amount of money and they get it now, not later. They also get the opportunity to show their product or service to what may be a new customer. That $100 gift certificate for $50 normally comes as 4 $25 certificate that you can only use one at a time on something costing at least $50. This means if the retailer has more than a 100% markup they can still be making money. Another strategy that is often employed is that only some goods or services are available for the offer. This is common in restaurants, alcohol being what is often excluded. Which for a fine dining restaurant can easily cost as much or more than the food.
The restaurant uses them to sell X $25 off a $50 meal coupon basically. If the restaurant is dumb enough to not have this work out as a profit for them, they are going out of business no matter what groupon does. The groupon user base is not loyal to groupon, if they had a competitor these folks would use them just as much. Welcome to a functioning market. Buyers are rationally attempting to get the best deal they can, and sellers trying to guarantee minimum set of sales.
Because in this kind of emergency you need power to come from outside the reactor, as in these kinds of emergencies it would nice to be able to access the generator if it needs work.
Science is not based on faith you moron. You are as bad as the anti-vaccine folks. When a scientist makes a mistake or is found to be a fraud, that data can be reexamined. This is opposed to faith which just accepts an explanation without any real inquiry.
Scientists do not study intelligent design as a form of science. It is not a science and cannot be studied in that manner. It is not testable nor falsifiable. It is a renaming of creationism.
Firefox is available on smartphones and due to broken websites my android smartphone is often claiming to be firefox or IE while using the default browser.
Barely legal, if GM decided that to continue to use your car you would need to go to new rims that prevent you from driving over 40 mph would that be legal?
You have just shown that you fail to understand reality. They blew the top off the building, no one wants to go near it, stuff is in ruins. A sterling engine would not change any of this.
Slashdot seems to be working ok. For a website MySql is an ok choice so long as you can live with its shortcomings. If slashdot was on Access only one of us could use it at a time. Access is not a real db. Access competes with sqllite, not with anything anyone should be using for a production website.
There are many ways to do postgres clustering, what exactly do you want to achieve. Do you want to just spread out queries or do you want to do failover?
You can do hotbackups by running pg_dump while using the db, but you probably would be better served by just replicating to another machine.
We use Postgres for our main product and it seems to be ok at keeping food on my plate.
What the hell are you burning without air to run this Stirling engine?
What do you plan on using as your source of cold? The delta between the hot side and the cold is going to need to be fairly high to make that practical.
No, they would not. They make those drivers for the render farms running linux that buy those cards by the truckfull. These customers don't currently care if the driver is closed so it stays that way. Nvidia linux driver customers are those folks not us geeks.
Nope, EULAs are use licenses, GPL is only impacts copying of the software. You can feel free to use GPL software in your private software and never give up your source so long as you never make copies of that software and distribute them.
Slashdot Mirror
You suck at math.
One buyer at $0.99, he strips the DRM and gives it to 445 of his closest friends.
His net profit for charging $0.99: $0.99

Quality = Price, in you mind?
HAHAHAHA, I guess it is true a sucker is born every minute.

You could not be more wrong.

Screwing them over? How?

Do they not allow bringing your own phone?

Science cannot be dogma. Dogma is the opposite of science.
You seem quite confused about this topic.

Sony stole value from its customers.
Still nothing compared to the problems they would have running a website on Access. Postgresql should of course be what they switch to.
You have just shown that you fail to understand reality. They blew the top off the building, no one wants to go near it, stuff is in ruins. A sterling engine would not change any of this.
Complete and utter bullshit.
You seemed like a moron after that first post, now you have proved it.

if they could use the reactor they would be using the steam turbine.

Access is a joke, even compared to MySQL.
I highly suggest you look into Postgresql.
Does the Drizzle know that they have named a MySQL fork after him?
No, they would not. They make those drivers for the render farms running linux that buy those cards by the truckfull. These customers don't currently care if the driver is closed so it stays that way. Nvidia linux driver customers are those folks not us geeks.
That novel would be in the comments, it would not merely describe an interface. That novel would also be creative not merely a collection of facts.
