To be fair to the restaurants, soooo many people make reservations and never keep them. What you're seeing is the result of our own carelessness.

I agree with you. Maybe the restaurants could add a credit hold functionality which charges your card $5 and then if you show up the $5 is applied to your meal and if not the restaurant keeps the $5.

If the Web or the Internet went away, the world would probably return to a sense of a little more sanity in it.
For all of the good that the Internet has provided, it has opened a Pandora's Box of degeneracy that appears to have no end in sight...

I'll name a restaurant chain that does something similar - Chili's.
I put in a reservation for four at 6 PM about an hour before leaving home. Got there at 5:55 PM and was told to put my name on the waiting list. I haven't been back.

It's so annoying.
The restaurant that I was dealing with was Olive Garden. I wonder if it's owned by the same corporate entity or if they all just do this?

relevant knowledge.
Along with what some have said about asking questions. The connection of sites and continued connecting of sites helps provide a great scale of knowledge FINDING.
Could 99.99% of questions and answered be found in the Text books printed years ago? YES
How quickly could you find that answer in the book?
Might depend how well the books index is and ordered.
How quickly could you find your question? Longer if at all.
As with programming there can often be more then one way to solve the same thing. But being able to ask similar questions multiple times helps lead to an answer more suitable to your situation. Compared to a book written by a limited group.
Share ability of add ability of that knowledge, with validation flows far faster and wider then other means.
Your internet seems to be a 1 way pipe of information. Who curates and feeds you that information vs anyone being able to post their knowledge and you choosing to view that or not.

LOL!
You got me there.
Well, let's say you used the Internet to do that.
Or, at least you used _one_ of the good web sites to make the purchase.
I'm really ranting about the poor use of Internet technology and bad web site functionality.
For example, if you go back to the web site where you purchased my book and try to return it but the functionality doesn't work...then that is an example of good functionality.

50 cent was born in 1975.
If you account for inflation, he is now 2 dollars and 34 cent!

your maths is backwards, inflation means the value of cash drops.
that 50 cents from 1975 is today now only worth [the mid 70's] equivalent of 11 cents.
you should have spent it back then.

What about his crustaceans?
Are you implying he has crabs?

In my book, his value has actually decreased.

In the Survey Voting Form, it says "Below are a list of the top 10 articles submitted last month."
What puts an article in the top 10?

Article rating, primarily.

Losing an envelope full with green, printed paper and letting the right person find it?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

The term "unit tests" is actually shortened from "you nitwit tests".

Or a corruption of the original implication: Eunuch Testis ?
