Since I just switched from Kindle to Nook due to quality issues and a complete lack of customer service, I had the (dis)pleasure of researching how to do this for my 50+ titles theoretically locked in to Amazon.
Butcher prices his Dresden files books at over $10 a pop. I read the first four or five but the pricing is too stupid and the quality's simply not that good. Not for significantly greater than pulp paperback.
If he priced his stuff at $6 a pop I would have read the catalog. But $12? Now you're taking advantage.
There are simply not enough taxable dollars in that lofty 1% realm to honestly make a difference. It makes for great popular sentiment as it supposedly impacts those "other" people. I also haven't heard a single viable argument as to how it is better to have that money get into the hands of a government that has shown a complete inability to manage money rather than let that money continue to flow into the economy.
Actually, there's enough to reverse most of the ballooning deficit strictly by reinstating the Bush tax cuts. Furthermore, the best argument is the one that every deficit hawk all over the tubes are stating: current debt levels are untenable and need to be reversed.
But yeah, it's helpful to pretend this is an intractable problem and "both sides are doing it". But it's a lie and repeating it makes you a liar.
We used to call that sort of thing an Accounting System.
I imagine we call them ERPs to jack up the price and set up a business model where there's continuous fucking^W servicing of the customer.
Honestly, after working within them for the past decade, I can't imagine anyone would want to calcify their business with such a tightly coupled morass requiring continuous upgrades.
The J and E thread reverse which comes first, animals or man. That's my favorite part about creationists - their own book gets it wrong almost immediately.
The abolitionists (anti-slavery being quite progressive) tended to also be prohibitionists.
I like to think of it as "nobody has a monopoly on bad ideas".
The larger point, progressives want to expand the power of the state, is a little fallacious.
That really ties into paternalism, how hard/soft do you like it (if at all), and where is it appropriate. Those questions/answers don't fall on either side of the political spectrum, I think. (e.g. Republicans believe in hard paternalism when it comes to a woman's body, whilst Democrats tend to believe in paternalism when it comes to health care)
I referred to the corporate tax rate, and was making reference to the fact that the top corporations in America paid ZERO in taxes in 2010. (GE comes to mind immediately, but it's merely one of many culprits)
They redact before posting. The argument can be made that they don't redact enough and the identifying details are still unobscured, but that's not what you said.
Groupon is a death knell for a restaurant. Bourdain mentioned it in Kitchen Confidential - the death spiral of a rest. begins with coupons and the like.
Perhaps with a new restaurant to get the word out it works, but every Groupon rest. we've been to in the last year failed.
I don't think that's Groupon's fault, however. I think a Groupon deal is a very good indicator if a restaurant is struggling.

And yes, I do consider Wikipedia to be more reliable than the Catholics. One of these organizations keeps claiming an invisible man is telling me what to do, and coincidentally enough it involves a tithe to the Church!

That way our species will self-select the thoughtless!

It was a pretty good yarn and honestly I wanted that MMO to exist pretty badly. That would be AWESOME
Of the Star Control series, but not necessarily the Starflight series.
They want to end-around first sale doctrine, that's fine. I'll just forego their products.
This is about First Sale Doctrine, not whether or not I'll resell my stuff. I use Steam so it's moot anyhow.

Just terrible

Sorry I wasn't more clear.
RE: taxation - I only agree because the top 10% pays zero (ZERO) taxes in America, with our 35% tax rate.
Making that more sane is the first step, but no matter what happens corporations have to step up and pay for doing business in America. Period.
You're just spreading FUD.

Cancelled the account and let them know why in both the feedback form and the survey they sent out.
So basically, this is my doing. You're welcome, America.
You're an asshole. A big "F U"? Ok. As Neil Gaiman once wrote: George R R Martin is not your bitch.

The latest incarnation was called "Heavy Rain". Sounds like you just don't like timing-based games, which is all Heavy Rain and the music-games are.
Here's one!.

yeah, they're different now, but that's one of the reasons the Protestants even exist.
Insane's build queues are all 50% time. And time is sort of the biggest resource in the game ;)
OpenId is what you're looking for I believe. . . I think that's FB's implementation as well. (probably way wrong there though)
