If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

The hardcover is $4.96 (on same page). So, tell me:

If I buy the hard-cover and tear off the hard cover, how much do you think I could get for it?

According to my mathematical calculations based upon the moon's angle, at least $736.52. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

That's the edition I have. I'll let it go for half that price.

Better hang on to it for another 20 years, because the price will rise exponentially and you'll be able to retire on the $4,839,283,356.62 that you get when it sells at auction at Sotheby's. Laugh | :laugh:

I can't guarantee the state it'll be in, in 20 years. I'll take a tenth of that if you want it today at that price. I'll even fly wherever you are and hand-deliver it in person.

I was looking for a book on the Z80 and a new hard bound edition was $13K. I tried to go back and find it but failed.

It's been 6 months since I joined the gym and there's been no progress. I'm going there tomorrow in person to find out what's really going on!

Nah. Just algorithmic price setting failures. That's nowhere near the greatest fail they've committed.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

He could list it as an asset, and buy a helicopter.

Yeah, when I originally saw the paperback of Petzold for $973 the hardback was listed at @ $298 or something, but then it disappeared.

Did they commit a feliny? If so, I guess they read 'em their Mewrander rights.

It depends on how nice the police were to it.

I'm sure they'll get it fixed soon

after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!
