The "cost" of each free pizza is the cost of ingredients and other fixed costs expended to make each pizza. You can't factor in profits you normally would get by selling the pizza. Unless you're suggesting it costs $12 - $16 to make pizzas which sell for $12 - $16

Even with that in mind, if it costs $6 - $8 to make a pizza, the promotion will still cost more than the PPACA costs, just not quite so much more.

It's kind of like that post-login "Wall" you can write on when you do your daily dial-up into the "Old Geezer BBS" :)

It's not as easy as you think to be able to hide behind the Anonymous Coward moniker, Mr. Cook.

Thanks!!

That was her first time drawing a character in that fashion, She still amazes the shit out of me when she comes up with a quality drawing like that on her first attempt in a different medium.

I agree with the use of Rapidograph pens. Dark, thin, and crisp lines. Refillable. My daughter drew this using ONLY a single Size 3×0/.25 Rapidograph pen (before it was scanned and posted on an art site). The character was about 7" high on the paper she drew it on.

This is Slashdot... logic of the "common sense" variety is forbidden on these threads!

Just HOW MUCH does it cost to modify a blow-up doll?

I'm guessing they ate it to gain its super powers.

Considering the means of connectivity for a TI-83, the best you can hope for is a bus network.

I use CDMA you insensitive clod!!!

They can use this for inspiration...

Actually... Nintendo's heavy handed licensing, distribution, and marketing scheme, along with the 10NES lockout chip, is what saved the NES. Not to mention their timing in an abruptly dead market full of video game junkies going through withdraw. Innovation in the consumer's favor was NOT the secret to their success.

There were a fair amount of high quality games for the 2600, given its hardware limitations. What killed the 2600 in the context of low quality software was the low quality software being sold at "high quality" software's pricing. People felt duped at paying all that money and getting little of value. That kind of action will kill any similar market.

I can't wait to play Combat or Air-Sea Battle on this thing.

I hear they are rushing to get Pacman and E.T. out before Christmas 2013, too!
