At Verizon this was known as Premium SMS. All the carriers have this in some name or other. I know Verizon will block it if requested, and it's mainly used by scammers.

Are you sure?

But they do list them, every 3rd party merchant in their network can list the book for sale. Amazon will assist in the transaction in the same manner they have for any other purchases made from those merchants, including showing the books in the search results.

No mod points, so I'll just repeat what the AC below me said:

You're a pompous, pretentious tosser.

I have really enjoyed Path of Exile lately. If you are looking for a good arpg experience that is less pay to win than Diablo 3, this is a good choice. You really can enjoy all the content the game offers for free, and there is nothing you can buy with real money that will make your character more viable.

As long as Jimmy the Saint is doing the sales.

I avoided ordering Hitachi drives because of their horrible RMA process. Anyone know if this has improved?

And can't get shit beyond "1.5" at my house. It wasn't even half that speed when I tried it.

Every example you have stated is just flat out protectionism, and is not something our gov't should be involved in.

Progress often means the status quo becomes outdated.

Who the fuck likes a car salesman anyway? I can't imagine there is a lot of support to retain those jobs.

"Don't shoot the messenger" doesn't just apply when you disagree with the message.

The "cheap" 5C still retails for $549-$649. I'm sure Apple has a healthy amount of profit with that figure.

I don't see the 5C as a low end device, instead I see the 5S as a premium model. No one pays over half a grand for a low end phone.

I regret the title of my reply. I edited it out of the post, but neglected to review the title.

It's not actually moronic, and didn't mean to insult the OP.

I've only grudgingly moved more and more of my reading to tablets, but now am glad I have; still, I don't like the idea of having my books disappear if I don't pay a continuing subscription.

I see this as a big benefit for people that like to read for entertainment. You aren't paying for the actual books, just access to them. For light reading (entertainment purposes) this seems like a great deal.

I'll always buy technical books I want to refer to in hard copy when I can, but I don't need a persistent copy of most of the things I read.

The sky is blue.

I'd be surprised if terrorists were not trying to infiltrate the CIA.

I'll share a story to back up the OP's claim:

When I was younger I used Ketamine. We would go to Nogales or Tijuana, Mexico and purchase it from "veterinary supply" stores.

One time I was in a shop in Nogales and there were 2 Utah police officers in the store as well. They had been referred to the guy by one of their uncles, also an officer. They were buying horse steroids.
