Comment makes NO sense (Score 1) 387

Other apes are social too. And testosterone has nothing to do with cooperation or non-cooperation. We are talking about simians here, we are APES for $deitie's sake, not about bovines. I would understand the testosterone point if we were talking about some sort of big badass bulls or moose but not SIMIANS.

Have the brilliant "scientists" who cooked up this study forgotten the gorilla's or chimps?

Dafuq mate?

As the OP writes this si not necessarily so: People do not buy books just because of the price. When I buy a (literary) book it's because I am interested in the content. If the price of the eBook is high I buy the hardcover copy instead (even if the price is higher). I may be interested in the ebook version for convenience. For tech ebooks I have a few free resources (legal) where I can find what I need and the rest is online. So, the price is not a feature I pay too much attention to when buying book.

And first of all thanks to our beloved "nationalist" superheroes, Geert Wilders, Farage and Le Pen. Thank you for A) Supporting Putin and serving as spear heads for all his lobbying needs and B) for debilitating the political and economical backbone of a potential European military response to Putin. Thank you very much. IF these were times of war this gentlemen and ladies would have been shot. There are some marginal voices claiming that we should increase our defence budget. Instead we are practising the favourite Rite of the Neo-Liberals and conservatives: Defunding anything that vaguely looks like being public with a zeal not even the Tea Baggers would dream of, as not even the Teabillies would dare to put a hand on their military forces. And you guys in the USA don't have such nice neighbours as we have here in good old Europe.

It is just a matter of time that Russia, Ukraine or any other of the ex-soviet states fucks it up utterly. And with a crackhead like Putin in the Kremlin it already seems to have begun.

And yes, there are talks about sanctions, but as this happens the Russian company who builds the BUK system has an offinc in Amsterdam meant to whitewash money and getting a free ride on taxes here in Holland. I still remember how a few months ago a bunch of shitheads were criticising the fact we Dutch were questioning the tax exemptions on international companies here in NL. While STarbucks and CO are only abusing us Dutch worker's pockets there are some other of our lovely "guests" that directly shoot us from the skies. So, thank you heer Rutte and all our lovely liberal and centre right governments for all this.

Yeah, they all want to tax the hardworking and honest people, take their guns, prohibit to free carry and deny that there are UFO's! Defund them! Note taht I'm not saying that because I am an European and we fucking lead in that area. No, no, I am serious, these bad bad liberals are soooo bad, believe me. Vote for your closest Tea Party clow... sorry politician and pray for the second coming of Christmas (or whatever the Christians believe).

Nope. Magento is not for eBay. It's a general-use ecommerce platform, currently the biggest one. I don't kid myself, I work with that stuff mate, I am currently working at a Payment Service Provider and we have our own plugins for the mayor ecommerce platforms (Magento, Opencart, Prestashop etc.) You don't even need a Payment Service Provider: If you can afford your own PCI-DSS certification you can request your own routes with VISA, Mastercard and/or Amex... or even just put your account details on a page and you can have your own webstore (absolutely not related to eBay) or set up an Intranet selling service or whatever you fancy, even abuse it as a blog with no payment service at all. And note that when I say Magento I also mean all the other ecommerce platforms. My favourite is Prestashop, I am currently getting myself used to Opencart, but Magento is the market leader if you are doing anything related with ecommerce (be it SEO, integration or working for a merchant) you won't be able to avoid it.
