I have an interesting dilemma. While I was at school today, I came across a bunch of textbooks sitting on a bench in the business building, with a 'FREE BOOKS' sign posted above them. Not being one to turn down free stuff, I picked up an Excel 2002 guide and a pretty nice looking International Business book - still in the wrapper, even! I get home, look through it a bit, seems like a pretty good book - then I decide to see what it's selling for online. Amazon shows even used copies going for almost $70! So my dilemma is this: should I keep the book (it might be useful) or sell it? I'm an MIS major, but I've never taken any int'l business classes. Thoughts?

tl;dr: I found a book worth $70. Keep it or sell it?

243 Name: Random Anonymous 2006-01-12 06:05 ID:iOP0+nsJ

photocopy any bits that look useful, then sell it?

I have no goals or drive, most of the things I like are getting farther away from me (insufficient funds), and I have no idea what to do about it. Even when I think to myself that I'm going to do something, I end up doing nothing at all.

Neither Winny nor Share are designed for perfect anonymity, just to be anonymous enough to make it not worth the bother.

i've never used freenet, but i've downloaded 6 gigabyte files through tor before (lol @ isp blocking share, winny, and bittorent, but not ed2k), and i'm sure freenet can't be too much slower than tor...

I just went outside for maybe five minutes to try to take photos, because the sky was an unusual yellow color. The shots looked great in the viewfinder. The flash came on autoidiotically and ruined them all. I tried to turn off the flash, but the best I could do was switch from "automatic mode" to "scene mode" using the "Night Landscape" scene. But this had a long exposure time, and I couldn't hold the camera still enough, so those shots came out blurry. Either the long exposure time or the flash ruined every picture I took, save one, which might have come out okay.

While taking pictures didn't go so well, I was much more successful at getting bitten by mosquitoes. In those five minutes I was out there, I got five mosquito bites. Two on each leg and one on my left arm.

I hate life.

>>326
most digital cameras make the image darker when the flash goes off, so that wouldn't work.
if you can't adjust the exposure time manually, you need to get a better camera.
