Amazon does sell off some of their returned items, at least here in the states. The sell them by the truckload to auction houses, who auction off all the goods as is, with no warranty. There are multiple warehouses across several states that bring in these items, take pictures, and post them up for sale. Local pickup only, and they have viewing hours for the items up for sale. I have gotten many good deals on items that were brand new at a fraction of the cost. Not just Amazon, but also some other big stores like Home Depot and Sams Club.

This is one of the comments from the article.
"A shrinking proton could possibly be explained by an alternative model of the proton, where it simply consists of a looping EM wave. Adding energy to the system (by replacing the electron with a muon) could reduce the wavelength of the looping EM wave – and thus also the diameter of the proton. Such a proton is elaborated on at http://classicalatom.blogspot.com/2008/09/simple-model-of-electrons-protons.html" Posted by: Simple Particle

Am I the only one who thinks it is strange to list the older age first? It seems unnatural.

What I know is that when Sprint and Nextel first merged, my service with Sprint went down the tubes. I was living in a small town at least an hour away in every direction from a major city. With Sprint I could get coverage everywhere, even the places that no one else could. Then they merged and my service went from the best to unusable. I started dropping a lot of calls. There were actual places along the road that I would drop a call every time I passed it. And it always seemed I was on the phone at that point. I called Sprint to complain. Apparently during the switchover it caused a problem with the closest tower to drop 93% of the calls throughout the area. It took them months to fix. They refused to let me out of my contract, even though I could hardly use my phone. I used to think that I would never switch from Sprint. That experience left such a bad taste that I will never go back to them. I couldn't even get one of the letters from Sprint saying that they didn't want me as a customer anymore, even though I had called and complained on numerous occasions. http://news.cnet.com/2300-1036_3-6195014-1.html

I've read through these comments and surprised that no one has mentioned profit sharing. I am salaried and generally put in about 50 hours a week. So while I get no overtime for those 10 hours, we do have a really good profit sharing program that makes me not mind staying those extra hours. To get the job done right and on time so that their isnt any downtime is important because it ends up costing me money.
