Funny thing here is it's not corrct to do that either. Because some attack/health values are better than some others even though they may be lower. For example, 4 attack is vastly superior to 5 against Priest, and 6 is vastly superior to 7 against all classes, because of certain cards which affects enemy minions with a minimum attack value of 5 and 7 respectively.
So War Golem (7/7 for 7) is a lot worse than Boulderfist Ogre (6/7 for 6).
I don't know how the situation for jobs in the US is but in Italy, where I had my experience, the people that do this job don't do it because it's their dream job but because they have bills to pay and finding "something better" is not always easy.
Job market isn't great here either (France, so not as bad as Italy), and I perfectly understand one taking a shitty job to support one's family.
Still, getting a job where you are paid with my money to harass me is not the way to get on my good side.
Either way, I never take those calls, and never take anonymous calls either, unless I'm looking for a job.
Beside, that kind of behavior from a company here (in France at least, and probably most of Europe) is probably illegal.
From an user perspective, those walled garden for ebooks are a real problem.
Since I like to have a paper copy of my books, I have a working solution, not perfect though:
* If there is a paper version, buy the paper version.
* If there is a DRM-free ebook, download it somewhere or buy it (depending on the price and added work, like a new cover, ...)
* If the is only DRM version, download a DRM-free version for free once it's available.
* If there is no paper version:
* If there is a DRM-free edition, buy it
* If there is only a DRM version, no good solution there, either a pass or a download somewhere.
My reader is a Kindle, so not perfect there, but I manage by keeping it in airplane mode at all time, to avoid stupid updates (like the 1984 fiasco), and by adding book only through Calibre instead of amazon's library manager.
If there's only a DRM edition, [cough] crack the DRM. Doing this for Kindle ebooks is easy enough that I half-suspect there's a deliberate policy of winking at it on AMZN's part.
I'm not going to tempt fate by providing pointers here but if you ask in the comments on my blog I will be less restrained.
I'd rather not pay to support retailers like Amazon that sell DRM-crippled books, just to (illegally) circumvent it. I'll demonstrate that I don't support this by only buying DRM-free books.
Don't take it wrong, but I'm getting wary of services offering to store my data online for free, especially when I don't know how / if it intend to make money.
Looks good though, I might give it a try even with that issue.
on the same boat.. but have given up on using Chrome for bookmarks. It's too slow on Linux when you've more than 50 tabs.
Firefox loads under a minute with 510 tabs from various tab-groups. (I use a tab-group for each group and field of study and yes I use most tabs actually)
The search in the sidebar is so enormously useful, it helps me to find ANY bookmark made by hitting CTRL+b or middle-click (two-finger tap here). I heavily use tags, which is really making the search better, but I wish these tags could be automatically generated by an algorithm.
Saying that "It's easy to solve, so if the restaurants haven't yet, it's probably not a problem" is pretty bad as excuses go.
The point isn't that it can't be solved, the point is that if it need solving, it's probably a problem, and companies are supposed to solve problem, not to deport them from their paying customers to non-paying third-party.
