Well let's see... He claims $9000 in income. He's selling it for $12.99 on amazon.com (Let's assume $10/copy, I dont know what amazon's cut is)

If he sold 1 per 446, and made ~$9000 at ~$10/copy: ~900 were sold.

~401,400 were downloaded (Unique)?

Iet's say the fact that he charged $0.99 for the ebook version, sales would have been lower, I think 66% LOWER is a pretty conservative number:

~401,400 - (~401,400*0.66) = ~136476 'sold' ebooks.

~136476 * 0.99 = ~$135,110

Yea. prolly screwed himself :P

"though it declines to give any actual figures. Users have, it claims, also complained of missing functionality, a lack of usability and poor interoperability." riiight. Move along?

Sounds dirty.

'never heard from', as in snapped in half in a mud-buried barrel in the Euphrates?

Amen. And I hope something similar happens so the government quits bedhopping with corporations for lobby cash.

May I ask WTF you do that makes you consume that much a month?

He prolly doesn't post his own stuff to his -own- account either

PUT

48,000 * 70 = 3,360,000 (3.36mil/mo).
3,360,000 * 12 = 40,320,000, or $40.3mil/yr.

Or average the two (20,70) you get 45...

48,000 * 45 = 2,160,000 (2.1mil/mo).
2,160,000 * 12 = 25,920,000, or 25.9mil/yr.

So it's 0.2% of the deficit, or .04% of the budget.

The larger side of the ADA/508 compliance revolves around the blind, the scapegoat is called a TTY Relay service.

I'd like to see any of these 'battery depos' handle a few northern winters. In order to handle a 6 minute charge it's practical to assume there's optimal ambient thermal temperatures.

This is a simple leverage in free press.

Such a well timed 'leak' of something after a shitstorm of privacy sensationalism. Nothing to see here, imho.

enough lifeboats.

Obvious serious downsides (No pirate jokes)

1. Less bandwidth capacity - higher latency (forced to use sat. solution)
2. Very very non-green. Ships put out awful emissions. One running tons of electrical equipment is no better.
3. Curious to know if the sea's movements will affect disk latency - tests have been conducted that if you scream at a hard drive it can slightly affect their latency due to the sound waves.
4. International waters. Nuff said.
5. I'd be willing to say a ship crew - security, EXPENSIVE ship repairs and maintenance far outweigh the profitability.

It's called a rev limiter. almost all semi-modern cars are rpm limited; and who gives a crap if it's very damaging, you'd be alive and much safer than wrapping your car around a tree with you in it; or worse, another driver on the road.

YES! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I've been wondering if these people had the common sense to try neutral; is it possible you could provide a link to this statement?
