#amazonfail kinda makes we love the internet, as much as I don't like (or at least don't get) Web 2.0 -- nm - ty97 Apr 12, 20:01 20
- I've got an #amazonfail search set up on Tweetdeck, and it's finding between 15 and 30 new posts every minute. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 12, 21:00 7
  - Minute? It seems like it's going faster than that and I don't even like twitter. -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 21:02 6

        The AP has it. I'd link, but I'd have to pay them. -- nm - Mop Apr 12, 21:46 1
        
        Making Books Disappear is one of good blog articles. -- (link) - Qale Apr 12, 22:05

- and if this comes to fruition, I'm in love -- (link) - ty97 Apr 12, 20:06
- It's amazing how quickly this happened. I saw the first mention at 11 AM. 12 hours later, Amazon is already turtling. -- nm - Mauer++ Apr 12, 20:02 9
  - Well once it was discovered anyway, apparently this is about 2 months in the making. -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 20:04 8
    - While I think the whole business is really stupid, I don't get what's achieved by getting them off the sales lists. -- nm - celedhring Apr 12, 20:05 7
      - They're also harder to find using the search. You can't search for them overall, only specifically within the "book" section. - Qale Apr 12, 20:09
      - What's getting lost a bit in this is that searches don't work either, or don't work properly. You know what you get if you search on 'homosexuality' - ty97 Apr 12, 20:08 5
        
        A book that HAS a sales ranking too. -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 20:10
        
        or if you search for Lady Chatterly's Lover - Callisto, Monster Apr 12, 20:10 2
        
        If you search for Dan Brown, you get a thirty five page essay on why you shouldn't be searching for him. -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 20:11 1
        
        If you search for Twilight, Stephen King comes to your house and punches you in the face. -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 21:01
        
        Yeah, that's a big deal indeed. -- nm - celedhring Apr 12, 20:09
Argh..how did my nose get so sunburned?! This is gonna peel :( -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 12, 19:59 4
- Did you see anything new? Or just the same old stuff? -- nm - BAD Apr 12, 20:28 3
  - Different campsite - same desert :) Some neat petroglyphs and a red lady pictograph, very similar to one at the equinox site in Joshua Tree. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 12, 20:33 2
    - I seen your earlier pics...Looks like you had good weather...I knew you were worried about it. - BAD Apr 12, 20:46 1
      - Temp around Banning yesterday was just over 50deg...coming back today it was over 80 :) - MojaveMeg Apr 12, 20:51
Hmmm...maybe putting off filing my state taxes wasn't such a bright idea after all. - kelly Apr 12, 19:59 2
- yes. yes they are -- nm - pigby Apr 12, 20:02 1
  - It usually takes me 10 minutes to fill out my state tax forms so I figured, what's the rush? - kelly Apr 12, 20:15
CNET: Amazon says it's a "glitch" but didn't elaborate further - Qale Apr 12, 19:55 2
- It's absurd. How does a glitch affect only books of a certain type? -- nm - Mop Apr 12, 20:25 1
  - It's so not a glitch. The fact is gay automatically gets tagged "adult" no doubt. -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 20:28
TAR: I liked that the stuntmen - Reagen Apr 12, 19:39 2
- Spoilers - Mauer++ Apr 12, 19:47 1
  - i wonder if it came up in conversation during the pit stop, giving the dude a real deep shuddeer -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Apr 12, 20:43
Is there a way to actually break down a town's walls? Because I'm spying out two large cities with *no* walls. -- nm - Mop Apr 12, 19:38 3
- so folks don't bother to build them since low walls don't mean jack really unless you have military to be boosted by their pressence. - zeitgeist Apr 12, 19:50
- Upgrade your Chris Jericho. -- nm - Qale Apr 12, 19:39
- No, no building can be destroyed by attack. -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 19:39
One good benefit of reinstalling Windows XP is that I can play Rome: Total War again! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 12, 19:33 7
- great game indeed i play it regulary still -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 12, 20:18
- Where you running a different OS? - Stephen Apr 12, 19:38 4
  - No, I've always run XP. It's just that I hadn't reinstalled it since I bought this laptop 3 years ago, and it was getting very slow and kludgy. - ReluctantCynic Apr 12, 19:48 2
    - that's my problem, one of these days, hopefully before I go to vegas -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 12, 19:50
    - ah, ok. - Stephen Apr 12, 19:50
  - where = were -- nm - Stephen Apr 12, 19:45
- Have you installed it more than 3 times? Oooh, sorry about that. -- nm - EA Games Apr 12, 19:37
redmond, how did you answer the other question I posted? -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 19:25 8
- Can you link it. Having problem finding it again. I saw it the first time. -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 19:29 7
  - here -- (link) - loosilu Apr 12, 19:29 [Backboard] 6
    - Spoilers if anyone that wants to take the test - Redmond Apr 12, 19:32 5
      - I don't see why your first answer is true. Second answer is retarded. Third answer, what? fourth answer flat out WRONG. fifth answer ok. - loosilu Apr 12, 19:36 4
        
        I would have said best friend, myself. -- nm - mara Apr 12, 19:57 1
        
        my problem with that answer is that until I trust him, he is not my best friend. I don't START trusting him them. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 19:58
        
        I agree with the second one is retarded. I was thinking so you can quickly check to see if you have lipstick messed up, or food in your teeth. -- nm - Redmond Apr 12, 19:43 1
        
        I don't even carry a mirror at all most of the time, never mind as the only choice out of those given, when one of the choices is cash. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 19:45

      - oh hush miss 'short 7 hour paris flight' ;) -- nm - ty97 Apr 12, 19:28 3
        
        honey, I will never fly business class as long as I live. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 19:29 2
        
        I fly it once in a blue moon thanks to status upgrades, and I save that for the ultra-long-hauls -- nm - ty97 Apr 12, 19:30 1
        
        I flew to Guam in coach, 22 hours. All flights to BuFu Africa will also be coach, also well over 20 hours. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 19:34
