It's not as effective as actually lowering the Canadian cover price so that it's the same as the US one, but it is shutting a lot of people up, which I (as someone who sells magazines but has no control over their price) appreciate. </p> <p>A lot of people don't seem to get that the price difference for magazines isn't just based on the exchange rate of our dollars. They also don't seem to get that Canadian retailers pay for their magazines based on the Canadian cover price, in Canadian funds. This has lead to such brilliant questions as "can I pay the American cover price if I pay in American dollars?"</p> <p>I hope this helps people to realise that publishers have been ripping them off for a long time now. I don't think it will, but it would be nice.</p> Dick Bro Prime http://www.myspace.com/therealrei tag:leftblank.org,2007-11-18:640/1954 2007-11-18T21:49:53Z 2007-11-18T21:49:53Z <p>Hmm, I guess now I get the thread you made woops. </p> Derek http://www.dirkdeadeye.com tag:leftblank.org,2007-11-06:639/1953 2007-11-07T02:52:56Z 2007-11-07T02:52:56Z <p>This is funny in a sad sad sort of way.</p> Derek http://www.dirkdeadeye.com tag:leftblank.org,2007-09-06:630/1952 2007-09-07T02:38:10Z 2007-09-07T02:38:10Z <p>I think my website knows colors better than that!</p> g026r http://leftblank.org/ tag:leftblank.org,2007-07-26:619/1948 2007-07-26T14:24:59Z 2007-07-26T14:24:59Z <p>I'm notoriously critical. An ex-girlfriend once commented that from me &quot;It's okay&quot; amounts to a glowing review.</p> Derek http://www.dirkdeadeye.com tag:leftblank.org,2007-07-25:619/1947 2007-07-25T04:49:23Z 2007-07-25T04:49:23Z <p>I liked it.

Howard.</p> <p>Seems there are two versions of the story: the one I had just read, which is the weird tale version, and an earlier "straight adventure" version that I read a few years back.</p> Derek http://www.dirkdeadeye.com tag:leftblank.org,2007-03-04:594/1944 2007-03-04T19:26:51Z 2007-03-04T19:26:51Z <p>Whoops. I stopped reading at the digg and slashdot mentions, and didn't read the line</p> <p>"Were it not winter, I don't think we'd be hearing this argument; who wants to talk about heat generation when everybody is sweating?"</p>
