That's because those percentages stack.

Personally I would recommend Bandcamp (I'm a customer, not a shill, before you ask), if you don't have the resources to roll-your-own (it's free upfront, no setup or subscription, but takes 15% off all sales).

Actually, some of us are trying to push Bandcamp to move payment processing in house rather than use Paypal, considering Paypal fees, reputation, and all that jazz. Not sure if they will, but it is a thing that I would like.

My junior high school rented out a corner of the field to have a cell tower planted squarely in it. Every inch of the school had excellent reception, and the kids used to dare each other to touch the fence around the tower.

Somehow I doubt it would be politically correct to do this today, but they're getting thousands of dollars from it a month so nobody on the board is going to complain...

Multiple, blatant logical and factual errors aside, this guy is effective at conveying the spirit of what's happening here. Ignore the utopia at the end, please (it's a structure that lends itself to being manipulated by demagogues), but the general premise of it is sound and compelling enough to be used despite the obvious errors.

I personally am studying for a field of work that will lead to my being replaced by a small shell script^W^W^W^W an AI algorithm within the next few decades, once AIs get convincing natural language processing algorithms. Which is fine with me, provided that someone takes care of the "we will all be on welfare at the end of this" problem.

I don't think anyone's taking care of that problem yet.

Y'know, I was thinking of setting bitcoin payment up for my own stuff, since it seems to be readily convertible from hard currency. The only problem being, I'd have to do transactions and send download links manually. Oh well. For a very low-volume service, that should be fine, but higher-volume... well...

Not that it ought to matter unless I ever get more than, say, ten a day, which is beyond how many downloads I usually get in a week as it is.

But maybe that's a subject for an Ask Slashdot post and not a buried comment thread.

I can't vouch for it, since I don't use it myself, but it exists.

There's a short story called "Harrison Bergeron" by, if I recall correctly, Kurt Vonnegut, that... explores that concept of creating an "equal society". To the extremes of enforcing ADHD in everyone by ear-radios that interrupt thoughts in those of higher intelligence, and strapping massive bags of steel shot to those below a certain weight, and putting glasses on those who have perfect vision so that nobody has perfect vision.

Needless to say, it's. Rather dystopic.

The site uses a silly little javascriptlet to make that number come down from 100%; with scripts on it goes down to 12.0%. Which seems slightly more reasonable, as a number.

"An aspie is one who has Asperger's Syndrome, which is believed to be part of the autism spectrum."

As a matter of fact, that's /exactly/ what Tall, Grande, and Venti mean. Large, Larger, and Even Larger.

I upgraded from 9.10, and I left the "Notification area" in place but removed the "indicator applet". It works quite well enough as it is.

I tried using indicator applet, but I don't want that envelope either, I use webmail already. It's a common complaint, I don't doubt, but the Ubuntu folk aren't about to listen, so we solve the problems ourselves.

P.S. Regression: can't switch pointer schemes away from "default pointer". I'm going to go look to see if that's already on launchpad.

By that logic, your post is illegal, too.

*ducks*

No, that would be the no-fry list.
