Not really a big deal to most people who frequent bookstores. Most have purchased items at both retailers.
This needs points. At first I thought to myself, "Hrm, I probably already deleted that email. Damn."
Then I thought to myself, "Wait, B&N already has an entry for me. Heck they probably have MORE on me since my Borders purchases tended to be in-store while B&N was online."
So...yeah...even if I opted out, nothing would come of it.
It depends how absurd you want to make the analogy.
If your intended goal was to imply, "No, I bought the soda," well, where did you get the money from to give to the kid? Your employer. If you're self employed, well, it was from the people and companies that purchase your services. Or their employers. And eventually you could go far enough back to say the government bought the soda because that's where all US currency comes from.
Apparently you've never been familiar with the usual humidity levels in a plane. 12%. Ever spend regular time in a climate with 12% humidity?
The 787 will allow them to up that level a bit allowing them to move out of the Atacama. Reason humidity is normally kept so low is (a) there's just no water at 35,000 ft and (b) damp conditions ruin metal, of which every other plane is mostly made of.
Offtopic? Tangentially. But I think it is worth looking at Meg's failed 2010 gubernatorial campaign.
Being the nominee for a big party is much like being a CEO of a big corporation. There's hundreds to thousands of people at your disposal and it's you(r vision) they have to sell. You have to manage resources and finances.
Now...let's look at the campaign. $170 million spent, $140 of that her own money, a campaign record, and she loses to Moonbeam by more than Fiorina lost to Boxer. She could've bought votes cheaper. That does not look, to me, like she managed her campaign very well.
Not just a failed politician, Meg Whitman ran, perhaps, the *worst* campaign in 2010. $140 million of her own money. And lost to Moonbeam by more than Fiorina lost to Boxer. (I lost a bet on that one.) Whitman could've bought votes for cheaper. Sure, she had long odds, but they weren't insurmountable.
If you're going for a CEO...wouldn't you want someone who ran a competent campaign at least? Not one that pissed money down every single drain in California?
This means that four years after the state passed reform, health insurance for Ohio families in employer plans had gone up by 19 percent. That compared with a national average rise of nearly 22 percent during that time.
Since we have adopted leaves as legal tender, we have all become immensely rich, but due to high leaf availability we have run across a slight inflation problem meaning it will take three deciduous forests to buy one ship's peanut. Therefore, we are about to embark on a leaf revaluation project......and burn down the forest.
Exactly: space that can easily be removed. Get rid of the white space, and you get a lot more real estate. In comparison, there is no white space on the W8 side. Removing something on the W8 side, however, will remove visible functionality.
Collapsing the ribbon would defeat the purpose of having the ribbon, which would defeat the purpose of showing why the ribbon is TEH AWESOMES! Therefore you cannot collapse the ribbon. As a result, from a marketing perspective, you *must* make W7 take up more space. Which means turning on that utterly useless status bar.
(Wouldn't it be hilarious if, by default, W8 comes with the same huge, shitty status bar turned on? So much for that whopping two additional lines of space!)
You get to see TWO MORE FILES!!!! with the ribbon... Except if you streamline your W7 explorer you'll get about 6 back. Let's compare the most streamlined W8 layout to the least streamlined W7 one! MARKETING!!
Concorde was killed off for many other reasons unrelated to the crash, most critically, it was a money and fuel sponge.
Nuclear, though, I agree. Apparently coal and it's hundreds to thousands of deaths is ok because we've had it since man first sent child into a mine shaft to play in the dirt. Nuclear though, GAAH! MUTANT THREE EYED FISH!!!!
My point, in a nutshell, is government spending creates more jobs than business lack of spending.
You could have a 0% corporate tax, but it wouldn't do any good for the economy as a whole if they simply keep it in liquid assets instead of expansion and hiring. (Fine, anon coward, I'll use the longer term that, for the common plebe, means the same thing.)

Does that apply for Chrome as well though? Because if it's not, you've got the makings of a classic hypocrite.
(If you're on Opera or something else less absurd, on the other hand, that's fine.)
And Chrome will be on 21.8.235.876 by then
Absurd release schedules?

Chrome was 12 in July, it's 14 now.
If Firefox is losing to Chrome it is NOT because of the "absurd release schedule."

Arbitrary stopping point is arbitrary.
Sales tax? Gas tax?
*Federal income tax.
States are a whole different story.

The news is the rich are skipping out on the Best Health Care System on the Planet (TM)!!
Now, why would they do that?

(Also, doesn't it seem funny that per MS's own research, the ribbon seems...pointless? >80% of commands come from context windows or hotkeys. See: https://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-01-29-43-metablogapi/3125.Figure-6-_2D00_-Command-entrypoint_5F00_2.png . Seems people have adapted just fine to NOT using the menu bar which is what this monstrosity replaces.)
Except you wouldn't be able to show off your ribbon and why would we dare do that since everyone will be using a ribbon?!
I particularly like this graphic:

You can hike the Appalachian Trail like you've always wanted.
But if you've got HIV/AIDS, isn't it a felony to pass it along knowin...oh, you mean that OTHER Appalachian Trail!

One word: Congress.
It just isn't as simple as "government spending > private spending" or the reverse.
I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing "government spending > private hoarding."
If they're sitting on two tril, pass out some bonuses down the line. Wouldn't hurt morale either, I bet.
Oh, and the gov has been printing money...and in one of their usual not-so-bright moves, though, they've been giving THAT to the businesses as well.
My point, in a nutshell, is government spending creates more jobs than business lack of spending.
