Dr Pepper Ten has less than one-tenth of that. I drink diet soda because it's cheaper than prescription stimulant or NRI medication.

For enough money, hell, I'd release the software under a copyleft license. Then people can hack and crack on it to their heart's content. Compare to how the Free version of Blender was crowdfunded.

I don't see how that'd help. People would just plug two to four USB gamepads into an Internet-disconnected PC and play on one screen, like in puzzle games, fighting games, and puzzle fighting games. Windows has supported USB HID gamepads since Windows 98 and Xbox 360 controllers since a Windows XP service pack.

Which breaks with multiple gamers in one household.

Reasonable in what country? One of the excuses for region coding is that "a reasonable initial price" varies based on the market and its currency's exchange rate with the euro or U.S. dollar. The Balassa-Samuelson model shows how economies without a history of exporting goods to rich countries will tend to have undervalued currencies.

Paying to be in the movie, rather than being paid for acting, smacks of prohibited prostitution.

One solution here is to use some form of companding. Apply "loudness war" style level compression to the audio stored on the CD and in the FLAC, but store in a side channel the compression level at the start of each CD sector (1/75 of a second) so that the original dynamic range can be reconstructed. I was under the impression that one of the modes of HDCD worked this way.

I think grandparent's point is that once you've bandwidth-limited your signal to 22 kHz, a 15 kHz sawtooth wave becomes a 15 kHz sine wave.

In that case, allow me to word my questions more directly. Let's assume I want to move to another English-speaking country. What's the best way to qualify for legal immigrant status? And how much money will I need before moving?

How can Apple Logic Pro sessions be converted to a format readable by free software?

This article and this discussion and this article claim that standard procedure can be worked around. Showing pay stubs, offering to pay three to six months' rent up front in states that allow it, or seeking a shorter lease term will make the landlord more likely to feel like filling a vacancy.

I thought the fact that I asked "what other country" was evidence that I'm trying to "explore other options".

I've been told that Great Britain (the part of Europe that speaks a language mutually intelligible with that of the U.S.) and Australia are even worse police states in some ways than the United States.

Good luck finding a brick and mortar store that carries the particular discontinued good you want. Do you plan to support global warming by repeatedly driving to all local pawn shops and thrift stores for years until the item you want finally happens to show up?

Supporting inefficiency is the broken window fallacy.

Say I, the owner of a hypothetical small business, want to sell my company's products to people who live in 20 different countries. How should I go about efficiently starting 20 different companies to do so?

I use Amazon MP3 because I want to buy musical recordings and I don't regularly use an Apple device that would push me toward using iTunes Store. (Cue sarcastic replies about why I don't strictly need to buy musical recordings in the first place.)

Donations to reputable organizations support the documented services that the organization performs. PayPal just wants to see documentation of those services.

Then let me rephrase: Why isn't controller support backported to iOS 6? Why should reading a controller need 512 MiB of RAM? My NES has 2 KiB of RAM and 16 KiB of ROM (not counting video memory) and it reads the controller.
