Your statement is ludicrous. If they donate the peanut butter to the exact people who shop at Costco and who would have bought peanut butter anyway, then yes, they would lose sales. But that's not even remotely what would happen. What would happen is they would donate the peanut butter to people who wouldn't have bought it at Costco anyway. They would not lose out on one cent of sales./P.

Assuming you're not a stormtrooper.

Java has templates??

Actually, I would write it like this:

int putw(int x, FILE *f)
{
bool success = (fwrite(&x, sizeof x, 1, f) == 1);
return success? 0 : EOF;
}

Having knowledge that EOF == -1 is disgusting. And using it in a formulas? Even more disgusting. IMHO, that code makes me sick. I would write it instead as:

return (fwrite(&x, sizeof x, 1, f) == 1)? 0 : EOF;

which to me is much clearer.

Lord Apathy, I don't think you read very carefully. Bobbied said that it was doing a pretty good job of ruining the currency [on its own without government help], not that it was doing a pretty good job.

Annnndd.... I can't type today.

While it's true that the 2-dollar plan per month are $0.02 per month, the other plans are only $0.01 per month. Failing to mention this is bad math.

Here is a table of prices:

$2 / 100 GB / month ==> $0.02 / month
$10 / 1 TB / month ==> $0.01 / month
$100 / 10 TB / month ==> $0.02 / month

(Yes, I know it's technically $1.99 and not $2.00, but let's face it... prices ending in ".99" are retarded.)

Actually, you get 100 GB (gigabytes), not 100 Gb (gigabits).

How do you know that person isn't taking $1,000,000 vacations and spending the $10,000 while ON vacation?

In other words, someone with an extra $10,000 to spend on games probably actually has an extra $1,000,000 to spend on other stuff as well.
